As she slowly soared over the small town, she noticed that this particular place brought back unpleasant memories. Dark alleys, broken down houses, and dirty streets. She remembered it all too well from her days wandering the streets, waiting to wake up from her "nightmare".
nevertheless, she slowed to a stop and landed gracefully on top of a small apartment building. She was about to move along down the street when she heard screaming. " you are a useless, stupid, annoying bastard! I never wanted a boy, what the hell is wrong with you!?" She heard coming through the window of the tallest apartment. She raised her wings and carefully crept up to the window to see a woman, beating her son. But that's not what shocked her, what was worse was the countless amount of empty bottles and burned out cigarettes that littered the ground. Before she could talk herself out of it, she broke through the glass pane and grabbed the boy before this monster could bring her fist to him again. The mother started to scream and lunged for a knife that was sitting on the table, but the girl had grown up deign with worse, so she beat her to the knife and slashed her face from ear to ear. The boy was still in shock, he couldn't break his gaze from her face and wings. The girl grabbed him and pulled him out the window with her, and after a few hours of flight, she landed and walked with him.
"Thank you", he said, his voice small and shaky yet deep. "I felt I had to, it was nothing more" she responded. " may I ask your name?" His eyes dark yet she saw a flicker of curiosity. " my name is Alexis, but call me Alex." The girl said to him. And as they slowly walked on, she knew that he was going to change her life,more than she had just changed his.
