Falling

Chapter 1~ Ash

    It's not like I meant to fall out of the tower. It sort of just... happened. I mean a lot of things have sort of just happened to me. Just like the time I almost-- wait, wait wait wait. Lets save that for another time, shall we? Anyways, back to the main idea: me. :)

    "Lewis you ready?" I asked, a small grin resting on my lips as I turned around to face my cousin.
    Lewis is his name and magic is, well, his game. He wasn't much taller than I was frankly. 5'11 while I was sadly a measly 5'7. He had mop of strawberry blonde hair unlike my light blonde curls. He also had one gold and one green eye to represent his mixture of royal and sorcerer blood. Oh, I forgot to explain the whole eye thing too you. My bad. Anyways, the eyes are simple, you see. All royals have gold, red, or pink eyes, or eyes that are completely unnatural. It is also quite common for royal families to have their own special eye color, my family's is gold, for example. Hot right? All sorcerers have this really, really dark green color so that's why he has the dark green eye and the gold one.

    "Ash... this is a horrible idea," he stated as he gave me his usual unemotional look.
    I sighed and shook my head as I put my golden locks up under a brown cap. My eyes darted outside the window and down at the sharp rocks and the oak tree underneath my tower, fifty feet below. Ever since my mother was murdered, I have been locked up in this idiotic tower. What were they going to do? Keep me up there until I was old enough to rule or marry? Like they didn't expect me to break out. All of them are idiots. Over the years I've planned and planned my escape, and today was the day I would break out. I have finally collected all 20 yards of rope to climb down the tower and climb back up before anyone noticed. The smirk came to my lips before I could stop it.

"Ash, I know that face. And it never means anything good," he said in his normal tone as his eyes gleamed meaning "I will take you down you idiot."
   
I rolled my eyes in response "I'm still going to do it," I muttered under my breath as I checked the rope I had tied around my body, and gave the other end to him. "Cast the spell," I demanded and opened my eyes wider to him.

He flipped through his old book, letting out a sigh before laying out a whole bunch of different "ingredients" for the spell to work. God. Why does magic have to be so complicated? The worst part was I couldn't even know if he was doing it right. He looked at me as if to say 'you ready, you jackass?' He didn't even wait for me to respond.

"mutat genus ad hominem, oculi caerulei maris mutare," he said as he looked at me with his green eye.

The green of his eyes and all of the items seemed to glow as he said the spell. My eyes stung in pain like a million needles were being shoved into my eye. I fell too my knees, clawing at my face. The horrid pain soon wore off and I wiped the tears off my face, turning to a mirror. Instead of the normal gold color, my eyes were sea blue with gold flecks scattered in them. I gasped at my appearance; my breasts and butt were gone and I grabbed at the empty space on my chest amazed.
"It'll only last for a bit. I'll have to renew it later," he nodded simply as he started to secure the rope. "I wasn't even sure you would realize they were gone," he said, teasing me about my cup size.

"On three," he announced as I headed toward the window.

I didn't mean to jump before he finished counting.

Falling... It's actually a fun feeling to be completely honest. Other than the fact that I was plummeting to my death, but you get the feeling. I stared down as I plummeted towards the rocks. Sharp pointy grey ones. You get the memo. I winced as I felt branches of the tree claw and scrape at my skin and clothes. Crap, crap, crap, crap. I was going to die. I didn't mean too. It sorta just happened.
