After I calmed down Phil and I continued walking I walked in silence behind him after a few hours he asked me

"You don't have to answer this, but why did you panic when you realized you showed your wings? Again you don't have to answer the question."

I took a deep breath recalling my past.

"Well… uhh… not everyone likes to see people with wings. And one of those people was uhh…"

I felt afraid to even say his name. He was a terrible person and he's scarred me for life.

But I kept talking "Schlatt… he didn't like my wings and I kinda learned that the hard way." Phil slowed down a little bit. "Oh… you know that if you need to talk to someone I'm here."

I smiled, feeling like I had someone to talk to. He turned back to the path.

Night came quickly making Phil and I make a small shelter for the night.

We settled in the shelter. For some reason Phil insisted on a glass roof.

We sat in silence for ten minutes before I reached into my hoodie taking out my pack of cards.

"Want to learn about cards?" I asked happily opening the pack Phil looked at me curious
"That sounds interesting" he said I nodded tipping the deck into my hand

Placing the deck on the ground spreading it out and picking up a card

"Hearts," I said, setting it down "otherwise known as cups, are a symbol of emotions. They are also the social butterflies of the deck."

I inspected the card once more. "This heart is an 8. An 8 means both movement or stagnation, for the heart, movement. The 8 hearts represent making difficult decisions, maybe a change in direction or even a breakup!"

Phil looked at me genuinely interested in what I was talking about. I yawned, "sorry I'm getting a little tired" I said taking off my hoodie. My wings spreading themselves out, it was so nice to feel them moving once again. knowing that I didn't need to put them back in ten minutes. I leaned over, my wings covered me like a blanket. 

I drifted off to sleep finally comfortable with my wings for the first time in years.

But my thoughts weren't going to let me have this.
