Each gust of wind is a knife cutting at my face. I scream to Jem but every word is forced back down my throat. We soar higher and higher until we break the clouds.
"Jem..." Jem's face is rock hard.
"Not now Alice." I'm feeling sick in the stomach.
"Jem..."
Her grip becomes tighter "not... NOW."
My arm feels like it could rip off right now. My wings are slumped down my back. I can't fell my feet. They are so numb from cold.
Jem's wings are beautiful. The light passes through them, turning the Rays of sunlight blue. My wings look like fluff. They don't work. Why did Jem think I could fly?
A few minutes of silence pass. "Alice... Please use your wings, you are getting heavy." I shake my head.
"C-c-can't" I splutter. "Cold..." Jem rolls her eyes. "Stop being ridiculous."
She flaps on, her delicate wings look so fragile... maybe if I...
I find myself reaching out to her wings... I feel a strong desire to crush them in my fingers... I want her to fall. She is being so mean.
A sound similar to autumn leaves crackling travels into my ears. I ont even know I did it.
Jem gasps. She cries out in pain. We fall... we fall thusands of miles.
What have I done? Maybe that lady was right... maybe I am a Vaxee... maybe I am evil... maybe I am a threat...we are mere metres from the earth. Jem's wing is crushed at the bottom. I don't know what to do.
