Short Stories of Rayna

Avion

   Rayna walked down hall of Zeus High. Her body heavy with stress. Mind blank. Her back ached.

    She stepped into the fresh, breathing in the nostalgic sent of autumn. A strong wind blew the leaves all around her. She watched as they settled.

     Rayna breathed on and sighed. She loved flying with the leaves. Her wings had been stiff all day, yearning to be stretched.

     She decided, " a quick flight and then homework."

     She drove to Ferris Peak and parked. Ferris Peak was a cliff on the outskirts of town. One that didn't have a lot of people. She slipped off her jacket and ruffled her feathers. Rayna stepped to the edge. She breathed in and let herself drift over. Rayna let the wind catch her and take her high. She shot through the clouds like a speeding bullet, giggling as the sun warmed her wings. She closed her eyes and fell into the sky. She was so at peace. After all the stress of the month , she needed this. She soared with the eagles as if she was one. They eyed her curiously. Rayna smiled blissfully at them.

     Atop the tallest tree she perched and and the hustle of the town below. The sun shone on her as if to glow with pride. Rayna drifted off to sleep, basking in the warmth. A breeze rustled the leaves as she dozed. A warm orange red color was upon the leaves. They crackled as they hit the ground. The sun fell and the bright moon rose. It was still. The clouds dissipated. Rayna woke with a start and looked at her watch. "7:30!"
