crow's feather ( Penna di corvo)

Feather nine

In The next morning , they ( Matteo, penna , and Ugo ) were soaring in that private plane , wearing specialized skydiving clothes , penna was jumping , shifting from one leg to the other , and the instructor was making sure the parachute bag was securely closed , checking and securing the safety gear , and Matteo was watching him with a cold expression from behind her , stuck to her ; as they were both tied to one parachute ; they would jump together , so he wouldn't lose sight of her and she'd be in his arms , prepared for any circumstance , he wouldn't let her jump alone , he wrapped his arms around her waist , holding her steady until she calmed down , so she turned , looking at him over her shoulder with a wide , radiant smile , her black eyes shining with a crazy , lovable madness to his heart , but it also confused him at the same time , they paid attention to the instructor as he gave them instructions , how to handle the parachute and the height at which they'd open it , insisting firmly and sternly on following everything he said , they headed towards the open plane door , after wearing special goggles , and Bina was a bout to jump before taking off , so he pressed her closer , ordering her strongly as the wind hit their faces : " Calmati .. " ( calm down )

She doesn't care about his talk , her eyes looking at the space around her , seeing the greenery below very small , her heartbeat echoing with excitement , she'll try jumping for the first time , she pays attention to the instructor as he talks finally then gives them permission to jump , so they jump together , and she's screaming laughing with excitement : " Vola .. " The air hits her face violently , increasing her laughter , she catches sight of Ugo as he falls beside her , waving to him , and he's doing the same , and the instructor with them , they fall with a frightening speed naturally ; but she's not afraid but laughing , screaming : " voliamo .. " ( we're flying ) making Matteo smile , he corrects her : " rather we're falling , corvo .. " until they reach a certain height the instructor signals them to open the parachute , so Matteo does it and they bounce back a little from the parachute's thrust ; so Bina gasps laughing lightly , they sway with a swing in the air due to the parachute , and Matteo tells her : " Ora vola .. " ( now fly ) Matteo's eyes shine , as he calls out to her with excitement : " Apri le ali , corvo .. Vola .. " ( spread your wings , raven .. fly ) she laughs loudly , throwing her head back hitting Matteo's chest , closing her eyes spreading her arms wide , inhaling strongly the air penetrates inside her , screaming : " volo nel cielo .. " ( I'm flying in the sky ) he controls the direction of the parachute letting her enjoy her time happy , it reflects back to hit his heart , spreading a warmth that only she brings out in him , she turns her head back looking at him , so he finds himself leaning forward kissing her jaw , close to her lips softly , and she exhales receiving his gentle kiss , they sway with a lade in the air , he moves away from her slowly , their gazes meet without talking for a while , before Matteo returns to controlling the direction of the parachute , until their tour ends , and they land , they remove the parachute bag and the jumping clothes , and Bina feels a strange feeling , as if she was free and wild in the air , and she wishes she could stay there forever , but a sweet smile appears on her lips as she turns to face Matteo , a smile that scatters his heartbeats , dispersing them , like snowflakes in space , falling like snow surrounding Bina , gathering around her like a glass ball , floating inside it snowflakes , without stopping .. she rushes towards him , hugging him tightly wrapping her arms around his neck , whispering softly : " Ti amo , Matteo .. " ( I love you , Matteo ) he closes his eyes with his mouth slightly open , holding her to him without words , and he's obsessed with her , loving her ; like an ancient witch's curse , can't be broken , and he's not trying to , but he's enchanted by her curse .. she enjoys his embrace whispering inside herself : " I love you , Matteo .. and my love for you renews like the sun rises every morning .. " she moves away from him , with Ugo arriving to them , and then the three of them leave after finishing their tour of the festival ,

To find that Alessandro has returned and is sitting in his office waiting for them with anger that exploded at them as soon as they entered , scolding them harshly and nervously : " How do you do this , you fools ? .. you travel alone .. " he doesn't let anyone talk , but continues nervously : " you ride a parachute , and jump from a plane .. what kind of madness is this ! .. what if you fell and got killed ? .. what's this recklessness ? .. " the three of them raised an eyebrow in harmony , wondering what Alessandro is saying , as if their lives aren't surrounded by danger , or they aren't exposed to assassination attempts and are showered with bullets and knives ! .. Bina was about to talk , but Matteo stopped her , telling her softly : " I'll handle it .. go up to your room , corvo .. " without argument , she left the office , and Alessandro's loud scolding reached her , targeting Matteo more , accusing him of being reckless with his life and Bina's , and when Ugo intervened , he received his share of scolding , making him retreat with pursed lips , and Alessandro telling him harshly : " and you , you fool , jumped like him .. no brains .. " but Matteo asked him seriously : " how did you know ? .. " Alessandro gave him a disapproving look , but answered : " Meoni told me .. wondering why you went without telling him .. " Ugo's eyebrow rose mockingly , and that little spy Julia told her stepfather what she heard when she was with him and Bina , but he didn't comment .. as for Matteo , his eyebrow rose with disapproval almost like his father , he replied firmly : " am I supposed to take permission from him for every step I take ? .. " _ he's your fiancée's father .. _ Alessandro's words were corrected by Ugo : " rather , her mother's husband .. " Alessandro gave him an annoyed look , not different from Matteo's cold look with his dry , dark tone : " even if that's the case , it's not his right to interfere in what I do .. my engagement to Julia doesn't mean giving him a position greater than he deserves .. " _ don't be against Meoni , Matteo .. he's more experienced than you .. and you'll need him .. Matteo and Ugo looked at each other with an ambiguous look , then the first one shook his head indifferently , and left the office excusing himself with a desire to sleep , followed by Ugo .. who was called out to by Alessandro with a warning : " be careful with your actions , Ugo .. "

********

With madness and recklessness that was almost habitual , both Matteo and Ugo were training in the evening at home , exchanging punches and kicks , even throwing knives at each other , and barely dodging them , as if they weren't satisfied with what they were doing outside the house , so they added to it inside , with more adrenaline flowing in their bodies , they were attacking each other , running after each other in a wild way ..
