A New Beginning

As I regained consciousness I could tell I was outside, from the cool breeze on my body to the light on my eyes. I looked up to see a grey clouded sky, though I couldn't remember how I got outside. I slowly sat up and as I did I heard something move behind me, and as I assumed it was something falling from my movement, I ignored the sound.

Looking down I noticed I was full out naked, my skin a deathly shade of white, long slender legs, and toned muscles that held a tinge of feminism. My skin was flawless, pure white, no hair either.

I tried to stand and as I did a strange weight on my back pulled me down. My hair fell in my face and a large black shape fluttered on my left side. I looked over and saw a wing, covered in dark black feathers. I quickly moved back the slightly curled black hair and started petting the wing like how a fan girl would freak over some anime dude. The feathers were soft and cool to the touch. I knew it was my wing, and that there was another one on my right side. Suddenly another wing appeared, similar to the first. I tried moving them but they were numb. I knew that standing would be a good idea, but I kept losing my balance.

I scanned the area, I was laying in a scattered pile of broken rubbish. A long wooden pole stuck out of the pile and I used it to stand. I kept trying to move my wings, and a few moments later a strange tingling feeling spread from my back throughout my wings, like when your foot falls asleep. It hurt but I enjoyed the pain, where the pain was. My very own wings.

Once I could lift them and move them around with full control and feeling I struggled to walk forward. My legs were wobbly and I was tipsy, keeping my balance was a bit difficult. When managed to get a few steps away from where I woke up I looked around. I was on a hill, but I didn't know where. Looking to the left I saw a wooden box. I dropped the pole I was holding and forgot about balance as my full attention was on the box. Once I got there I fell to my knees and lifted off the top.

The first thing I saw was a folded piece of paper. I picked up the note and opened it. I saw random symbols I didn't recognize and tossed it aside.

The next thing I found was some black clothes. I struggled to put the shirt on, it was like a crop top with a V-Slit in the back and long sleeves. After I got the shirt on I picked up a skirt, also black. It had several layers and was a bit fluffy. I put it on easily and it looked kinda cute. Then there was a pair of black leggings and knee-high army boots. Once I was dressed I noticed there was no bra or panties. I didn't really care.

There was a belt that I put on, it fit perfectly. Before I got to the interesting things at the bottom of the box I found a hair brush and decided to brush my hair. After the minute delay I found some strange bottles, a few throwing knives, and a beautiful sword with a double edged blade, tinted black with a silver handle holder and bunt. The case was Japanese styled.

I put the weapons on my belt and started walking around. I went to an area that wasn't covered in broken debree and looked up at the road on the side of a hill parallel to the one I was on. Suddenly a memory snapped back and I knew exactly where I was. I was on the hill my school bus passed on the mountain side. I remembered the location and how all the piles of rubbish used to be buildings. As if a tornado came through.

I needed to fly, and was happy that I could. I bent my knees and jumped. I gasped as I scared myself, the first time I had any real surge of emotion. I was pretty high in the air, at least as tall as a two story building. When I started to fall I didn't know how to land so I fell on my ass, this knocked the breath out of me for a few seconds causing me to moan during landing. I got up and cleaned myself off, then I jumped again.

I opened my wings and just as gravity was about to pull me back down I flapped them, and a little too hard. I rocketed skyward and scared myself again. I was very high in the air now, maybe thirty storys building height. I thought that I could get injured if I fell from that height. I was dazed and startled, not moving.

Suddenly, a large gust of wind blew from nowhere catching under my wings and ushering me upwards. As the wind pulled me out of my trance I lifted my wings and flapped them a bit easier. I was climbing in height and very unstable. I tried getting into a rhythm, and started to move my wings in small circles when I flapped them.

Once I was stable in the air I tried to move forward, and I did successfully. Then I climbed higher into the sky and looked down. Everything was small.. Then my vision changed to high definition somehow and I could see perfectly from that height. I scanned the area from above and saw nothing but broken houses and rubbish. Strange enough I couldn't see any humans..

I flew over the town to the South and saw no one. I was looking for someone but I didn't know who.

I then flew straight to Ariel's (an old friend) house. She was in her grandmother's front yard, and she was naked. I landed next to her without a sound. I somehow didn't face-plant. As I walked over my shadow blocked the light and she instantly looked up with fear. She was seemingly scared straight, just eyeing me up and down, her breath hitched in her throat. She also had a different body. Her skin was maybe as pale as mine, her hair a reddish brown and shoulder length. Green eyes, fangs. She also seemed amazed at my looks, though I didn't know exactly how I looked.

After a few moments I noticed a strange feeling. A power level if you will, like our strengths. She seemed a lot weaker than I, and I didn't know how I knew. I then found my power level and was shocked. I was much stronger and it was a bit overwhelming. I dulled down the power instinctively and she was freed from her silence. She took a deep breath as I crouched down and helped her get her brownish colored wings through the holes in her shirt.

After we got the shirt on another girl flew besides us. Ariel didn't notice, but I did. She was much stronger than Ariel but I was stronger than both combined. I could sense her and snapped my head over as Ariel looked at me confused. I stood up and looked over the girl before me. She had short black hair with a red tint. Tan skin compared to me, blood red sharp pointed wings with a shiny lining. She had a thin grey jacket with a dirty white cotton shirt, jeans with a few ripped holes in the knees, and tennieshoes. Her eyes were brown and there were a few freckles scattered across her cheeks. I thought she was Autumn (my sister) but I wasn't sure. She was friendly, so I let my guard down.

Ariel was still on the ground staring at us, I hinted that I could use some help dressing her. The strange female complied and helped me dress Ariel like a child. Once everything had been settled we just stood there looking at each other. Something was telling me to look towards the North East. As soon as I did a large explosion shot fire and ash into the air along with whatever else was there. I almost instantly had both of their wrists in my hands as I struggled to pull them away to the opposite direction. Someone said, "Let go!" and I did. Then I heard their wings catch the wind behind me and I knew they were flying after me. I could only think about their safety, that I needed to get them out of there.

Then I woke up.
