The Fallen Angels

Chapter Three

"Hello freaks, your mommy can't help you now." She says.

"We don't need our mom to do anything for us." I say

stepping forwards with Lilith doing the exact same.

"Well then you don't need the special permission to was

hats inside." She says reaching forward and grabbing my purple beanie,yanking it off.

Lisa's twin brother, Liam, looks at the black wolf ears and

laughs, "you really have fake dog ears"

I can't help it, my right ear twitches, their eyes are looking

in the beanie, not at me. "What kind of brand is " Darkeve genetic labs" I've never heard of it." She says.

"It's not a brand, it's a hell on earth." I growl, "now give me

my hat" I say.

"No" I look at her, turn around, pinch the bridge of my

nose, whip around and grab the hat, running down the hall with the other three on my tail. Lisa and Liam Spades standing there surprised at how the girl that gets out of gym can run like hellhounds are on her heels.

We run out the door and to the car where mom is waiting.

She looks at us as we buckle up and yell at her to drive. She drives and about five minutes later asks me "Shade why are your ears exposed?"

"Lisa Spades and her twin brother was telling us we didn't

need any special privileges and yanked it off. They thought they were fake and was looking for a brand name when my ear twitched. I turned around pinched the bridge of my nose, and turned back grabbed the hat, and ran." I say putting the hat back on.

"Did they see them move, did they find out anything?"

Mom asks pulling into the driveway.

"We don't know if they did or not." Lilith says.

"We're going for a flight" I say walking to the back door,

setting my hat on the table. Where it leads to a patio and a sheer drop of the side of the mountain. We spread our wings and let ourselves fall. I let a real laugh out after eight years. My furry tail and ears free, I close my wings against my back and drop. The wind rushing through my blonde hair and black wolf ears. I cross my arms over my chest and spin, laughter echoing. I spread my wings and put my arms out, like a kid imitating an airplane, and let the air catch me.

Solar flies close to me and yells "we should head in, Dove

already went." I nod and follow him, landing and folding our wings, letting them form into our backs, to become just ink like markings on our backs.

I grab my jacket that I had put on the ground before we

took off and tied it around my waist. My hair a mess from the wind. I catch Solar looking at me, but before I can say anything he turns and walks inside. I hear him mumble something that I can't hear.

Later that night, after dinner I go to my room and lay on my bed. I see something sitting on my desk from the corner of my eye and get up. A letter in a white envelope is sitting on my desk. "Shade" written in small letters. I open it and pull the letter out to see the same small handwriting.

"Shade,

I know your little secret and you'll get Solar and Dove to hate you if you don't want these leaked to the entire school"I look inside the envelope to see pictures of me in mid flight. My wings tucked in ready to fall, and others of me in the air clearly showing my face and black wings and one showing the wings in their tattoo hiding place. The final picture showing all three of us with our wing outstretched. I yell and stomp out the door and downstairs.
