Fly Free

Chapter 17 Zuriel

The wind blowing against my face feels so normal. It feels as if I have been up here for 1000 years. It feels like I was born here. I really wish I was.

'Hey.' I hear a voice in my head say.

I look to the left, but there is nothing but blue sky. I look to the right, but the same. I take a quick glance behind me, but no one is there.

I am completely alone.

'Hey. It's me, Cassius.'

'Well WTF dude. You don't you go take telepathically to Azrael. She is so sad.' I respond. Feeling my cheeks heat up.

'I can't. I mean I've already tired, but I really do what to talk to you.' He continues.'I wanted to ask you something.'

Me. Why would he want to ask me something?

'What do you want to ask me?' I ask in a weary and confused voice.

'Um well. I will just um.. One second.' He stutters and quickly finishes.

I land quietly and in the cover of some trees by a park. There are not too many people here, just 4 little kids and 3 mothers talking to eachother. Probably bragging how mature their child is or my child did this last week.

I feel a sharp wind blow my hair out of my face. I turn around in a fighting position, ready to kill anything that comes near me. Although to my suprise it's nothing threatening that came from that wind.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you Zuriel." He says holding out his hand for me to take it. His eyes seemed to have changed from icy and cold to sweet and hoping. His long fingers extend toward me.

I stand there like a dumbo. My right hand over my fast-beating heart and my left one limp down at my side. I am surprisingly speechless. I have gone through my sister getting kidnapped, my 'dad' coming back, and I have even killed people. Yes I hate to admit it, but I have choked innocents and slit throats of others. Nothing has ever brought me this speechless.

I have a new feeling. A feeling of accomplishment and acception. My vision grows watery as small, warm tears trickle down my smooth, pale face.

My right hand hesitates, but then I take my chance and grab his hand. He brings himself closer to me and I lay my head in his chest. I cry from happiness and gratitude that he has feelings for me too. He brings his large hand over my head and strokes my hair. Taking out the small knots he comes across.

He slowly stops and puts both of his hands on each cheeks and brings me closer to his lips. I close my eyes as I stand on my tippy-toes as our lips collide.

My eyes stay closed as I savor this moment. His chapped, but smooth lips kiss. We take awhile before we break apart. I take a hard breath only wanting more. More and more of his touch. It comforts me, it brings me to relaxation to know he is near.

Only after about 5 seconds our lips crash again, but this time more savor full. I angle my head and feel him breathe out of his nose. His lips are less chapped now that my lips have touched them.

One of his hand slip behind my back and brin me even closer. The other running through my hair.

My hands slowly get tangled into his dirty-blonde hair. I feel another breathe out his nose. And more I yearn for his touch.

I realized it then when we broke apart the second time. He used his one Switch to come back to me. To love me. To have me.

I crash back into his chest and hold him tight. The thought of letting go gives me shivers down my back. His head is rested on the top off head. Slowly petting me like before.

We walk down to a park bench and sit down. My head rests on his lap and he plays with my hair.

The mothers look at us and smile. The huddle around and point at us. They laugh and chuckle and whisper. They look... Envious.

"Why did you fall for me?" I ask him and re-situate myself so I am looking at his face.

"Well. You're not like the other girls who try to get attention. You actually avoid being seen. You also don't try to fall in love or do anything for love. You just went with the flow. Well I really should say you left the flow and went the opposite way." He says and looks down at me with a bright and reassuring smile. His eyes are bright and his lips call to my attention.

I lean up and kiss him. My hand automatically slips on his neck as his hand is on my back. We both pull eachother foward as our eyes are closed. We melt in eachothers arms in joy and happiness.

"Come on." I say as I grab his hands and bring him into the woods. I unfold my wings and look at him anxiously. He gives me a small nod and instantly we both shoot to into the air. One of my black wings across one of his dark brown wings.

Now I really understand when Iris said we have no idea what it's like to fly fee. Now I think I finally understand.

What it's really like to Fly Free.
