taming the demon in me

9

Zeke and I leave the dinner after finishing our food, and he looks really upset. I don't say anything to him deciding that I would most likely be best if I just leave it. I look up at the sky and see that the sky looked different. I stop walking and look at Zeke waiting for him to stop and listen to me. Zeke does after he takes a few more steps, and turns around giving me an irritated look. I cross my arms at him not liking the way he was giving me attitude for no real reason.

"Is there a reason that you're slowing us down? We need to get moving." Zeke says running his hand through his hair.

"Well the sky is purple and I'm just wondering if I got slipped some drugs or something because seeing how everything is different I don't know if I'm crazy or some things are just casual." I say feeling my teeth lengthen from my growing frustration.

"Sophia your fine it's a normal thing for us because it's a reminder of sorts that we can never go back up their. Now can we please go? I don't want to be here when your parents get a tip of where we are." Zeke says quickly glancing around then quickly walking away again.

When Zeke finally stops walking were at an older looking house in the center of town. All the other surrounding houses where modern, but this one is small with a small old circle window, a wooden door that looked to be quite worn, and smoke coming out of an old fashion chimney. I knew immediately that an illusion spell was at work, and to a normal mortal this would look like a normal city house. The owner of this house was most likely a spell caster or healer judging for the homey look of the house; a with or warlock's house wouldn't be this old fashion looking seeing how they take to a more lavish lifestyle.

Zeke knocks on the door softy and a few seconds later I hear little feet run up to the door. The door is opened and I'm looking down to see a cute little boy with short messy brown hair, wide honey brown eyes that looked gold, and a black mark on his neck. The little boy lets Zeke in, but tells me that I'm not welcomed.  I stand there for a few seconds confused until the little boy slams the door in my face.  I stand there for a second feeling really rejected then decide to go for a walk and come back in a hour. I walk down the street towards a bridge. I saw on the way here and look out over the ocean. I let a sigh watching my breath cloud around the dark night sky and hug the stars. The stars and night sky still shine and look the same I guess it's just a daytime thing.

I look out over the ocean and see the waves down below just flowing by, and get this feeling to just jump off the bridge. Without thinking I slowly lean further and further over the railing until I feel the wind rushing agenst my face. I open up my eyes to see the water coming closer and closer until I feel a slight "pop" and then I'm gliding through the air inches from the water.  I let outa cry of joy as I feel the wind rushing around me as I fly up into the sky. I smile as I see the stars shining in the dark sky looking bright and happy. I look back down, and quickly dive down to the water, opening my wings just before my nose could touch the water. I then fly back up and decide to land in the woods. I land under a giant oak tree next to a bench, and retract my wings feeling a slight sting and then a pop.

I look behind me to the bench and see Zeke sitting there upset. I slowly walk towards him with a raised eyebrow, but he just shakes his head. I slowly walk closer to him and he shoots a glare at me. I sit down next to him and lean on him looking up in his eyes. "Do you wanna talk 'bout it?" I ask softly sensing his anger. Zeke just growls looking away from me. I lean in closer to him, nip at his neck, and whisper in his ear, "Well if you're going to be grumpy, then you can blow off some steam by playing tag with me." Zeke goes stiff, and I lean back to give him a smirk before I take off sprinting through the trees.
