I stared at my tattered reflection in the mirror. My hair was matted and uneven; my face was splattered with mud. My tank top was ripped and shredded. My jeans - well, they were shorts now. I slowly stretched my wings wide, and looked at them. They were so amazing. Feathers perfectly aligned, colors precise. But the rest of me - ugly. I took a rag from the bedside table and wetted it with water from the bathroom. I wiped the dirt from my arms and face, and then changed clothes. I brushed out my hair and added makeup to my face, then walked out into the living room. Dylan absently looked up from the conversation and did nothing special. Nothing? After all this work? Was I that terrible? I pulled anxiously at my newly-cleaned jeans and shirt. Fang noticed and stood up silently, taking my hand and leading me outside to the porch. He brushed his fingers across my face, wiping my makeup away. I stopped his hand. His overlong black hair fell into his face.
"What are you doing?" I asked. Fang smiled slightly, his dark eyes glittering.
"You're perfect without it." he replied, pulling me into a gentle kiss.
With a gentle breeze he wrapped his obsidian wings around me and held me close. I looked up into the moon.
"You really think that?" I asked. He looked at me seriously.
"It's true." He stated declaratively. I leaned against his warm chest and fell asleep calmly, because I didn't need to change myself. I was beautiful, if only for a second with him.
