It was cold today. A chill in the air, no birds flittered about and there was no sign of life outside the window. I wasn't allowed to go out there either. Jeb said it was dangerous and I could get very sick. But I really didn't care. I wanted to hear Fang again. I wanted to know he was there. More than anything, I just wanted to be free. Outside where the cold could chill my skin. And where the sun could warm it again. I wanted to feel the weather.
But I was stuck admiring it from behind a glass. I felt like a trapped animal. Maybe…maybe this place isn't really great after all. Maybe it is terrible. I should've listened to everyone.
"He's waiting for you," I turned and saw Angel. She smiled at me. I smiled back. "He was here yesterday too."
Angel was just like me. Well, she was younger generation and was still in an early stage of her wings. Meanwhile, when spring came, I would be taught to fly. It was exhilarating and scary for me to think about it. What if...what if I could see over the fence? Maybe I'd see Fang. And he'd see me too! I can't wait!
"He'll always be there," she said softly. "So...go see him."
"I...I will." I had too. He was waiting, wasn't he?
