Emily's POV
Looking up into the dim night sky... I saw nothing. Not even one star.
"Not even one bird either.''
I scoffed at the stupid voice that lives in my head. But who am I kidding , Zamora is always right. I should be aware of my surroundings when I'm flying at night. Now I'm stuck, whimpering by a tree complaining about the soreness in my left wing.
I have no idea where I am , Hopefully this place isn't dangerous.
I actually wonder if the bird I ran into is okay.
"No time worrying about it love, you should start looking for something to eat."
A flashback, out of nowhere came , and it hit me like a million trees were falling on me.
FLASHBACK
(12 YEARS AGO)
"Grandpa , where are you? I'm hungry..."
A groan came from the bathroom. I went towards where the sound was coming from.
I gasped in shock.
"Grandpa! Are you okay?! What's wrong?" My little hands wrapped around my grandpas cold fingers. He stayed eerily silent. I looked over in his left hand , and there was an empty bottle of medicines. I sat there for hours. Until the sun went down. I just sat there.
He never woke up...
PRESENT
(19Y/O)
Every time I think that I've gotten over them , the memories come back as if it happened yesterday. When will it end?
"I'm sorry you have to relive that Emily."
A tear escaped my eye. I quickly wiped it away.
"Its okay Zamora , lets go get something to eat." I mind-linked
When I was born , Zamora was born. She is like my second conscious. She was gifted to me by the moon goddess. She knows all , She's seen all. That's just how she was crafted. She was made to lead me through this journey called life.
I chuckled a little.
She tells me stories all the time about how we came to be. How we were paired up , How she was made to protect me, and how we were made to love each other. If we were somehow separated , I wouldn't know what to do.
I'd quite literally die without her.
Maybe after thirty minutes of gorging on berries , I heard a strange sound. I heard voices. They were loud and sounded like they were looking for something.
"They're looking for you , get up!"
The cabin is maybe a hundred miles back. I might still be able to get away if I'm quiet.
I sat up from my sitting position. Unfortunately , I stepped on a sharp rock trying to get away , and I yelped.
Everything went silent.
"Who goes there!"
How is that possible! There is no way that they heard that. They sound miles away!
Panic filled my heart and I limped away as quickly as I could. I looked for a more open space , so that I can spread my wings. I have to have enough space to get off of the ground , but the trees were so close together!
I heard them approach closer and closer. And with every step they took , the more mini heart attacks I had trying to get away.
Suddenly , I was tackled to the ground by something warm and hairy. The wind was completely knocked out of me, and my vision was a little blurred. When I turned around on my back , I was surprised to see it was a werewolf. Two of his friends were standing behind him , but in human form. This stupid dog was so big.
I screamed to the top of my lungs and fought against these men trying to take me.
They all stared at me in astonishment.
I tried to get back up and run at their distraction. They've probably never seen a angel.
I was quickly recaptured and they tied my wings up with rope and I was thrown over a mans shoulder.
Where did the rope come from? I thought. It was already giving me rope burn.
"Lets take it back to the King." His friends agreed.
"It." I thought. I'm not a "It" These stupid dogs are rude.
But I actually began to panic. Where would they take me? Are they going to kill me? I'm not ready to die. I hit and scratched on the mans back to make him drop me. But that didn't work.
Tears flowed out of me like a fountain.
"Don't worry my girl. I will protect you."
A heavy sigh escaped my lips.
I know Zamora "knows all" , but sometimes she just says things that make no sense.
How are we getting out of this situation?!?
