Chapter 6

Harmony's POV

Gritting my teeth, I folded my wings and quickly pulled on my jacket that had been tied around my waist. "Are you okay?" The person asked. He looked around his early twenties, but then again, I could be wrong. I haven't been around enough people to be able to guess someone's age. He was even hotter than Nick. NO! Don't even go there Harmony! I scolded myself. He had warm chocolate brown eyes.

"I'm fine," I said. He froze and his eyes widened when they met mine. It occurred to me how I must look to him. I blushed and looked down. I pulled leaves from my blonde hair and clothes. I couldn't do much about the stains. I knew that my blue eyes must be also wide. I peeked up at him through my hair; he was still staring at me. I don't look that bad, did I? I wondered.

I cleared my throat and said, "Anyways, I'm fine. You didn't need to bother yourself. You can continue on your way." I said, looking at the waves instead of him.

"Seth. I'm Seth." He said suddenly.

"Oookkkaaaay. Well, Seth. It was nice meeting ya! Well, I should be on my way." I gave him a pointed look, which he ignored.

"Then why haven't you gotten up?" He reached over and touched my foot, moving up my leg, looking for broken bones. "Hey! Don't touch m- Ow!" I yelled. He had touched my bad ankle.

"That's what I thought. Come on, I'll take you to Emily's so that you can be fixed up." Seth said, picking me up.

"Hey! Put me down!" I was scared that he could feel my wings through my jacket. What if he found out and blabbed about it and the School found me again? I never wanted to go to that hell-hole again! I would rather die. My hurt wing felt like it was on fire. Seth's skin was really hot, like he had a fever or something. He chose to ignore my complaints as well.

"What's your name? Where are you from? How did you get up there? Why were you up there?" Seth asked. I looked pointly at the ocean. I felt Seth sigh. "Well, at least could you tell me your name?"

I considered it. "Please?" Seth asked in a quite voice. He sounded like this was really important to him. Why, I don't know. "Harmony." I finally said. I don't know why I didn't lie like I usually did and gave a fake name. Seth's smile was so happy.
