corycia- the moth girl

ch1: fireworks

It was the 4th of July ah yes I remember soo vaguely. I was 5 when it first happened.

I was fascinated by the big beautiful sparkels in the sky , round and majastic . I guess I wanted a closer look . Was it the light ? It always has been I giggled to myself ...

I slowly climbed out of the window from my 30 story apartment . A normal child would've met her end that day

I did not .

That's all i can make out . My parents were worried sick . I can't blame them , ofcourse they're going to worry . I was born with wings , and no not the beautiful fairy wings they show you on tv , my wings were dusty brown and horrific . My grandma called me the Angel's curse . she hated my mom and me , but its okay I still love her .

They tried alot of procedures to dettach my wings but my neural system was connected with it if they try to cut them off I might end up completely paralysed or worse in coma .

Im a highschool student in the franklin school of Mississippi. No one knows about my wings except my mom , dad , nana and my young brother Joshua . I tie them back with binders every morning and live a normal life . When I turn 16 my mom promised she'll let me fly for a little while across the ocean . Im so excited to see the moon closer .

I dont fly outside my house , but I take Joshua on small rides inside where I carry him and glide . He makes me happy and a little less lonely in this dark world , he was my light .

My room is filled with glow sticks and lamps . its a pretty place

Thunders rumble outside the big windows, I quickly close the curtains and reach for my hair brush .

My long hair is the same colour as my wings so are my eyes but my skin is a diffrent story .

From the day I was born my skin remained ghostly pale .

I slowly turned of the lamps and held Pepper tight, she was my cat . My binders hung on hooks . I heard it laughing at me.

I will be starting my school from tomorrow, a shudder runs through my spine and my wings breach out to its full length, Pepper hissed and jumped off my bed , my wings have grown soo much I tell myself as I fall asleep .
