Katlynn's POV
Darkness. I love the dark, it gives me hope because even the darkest nights when the stars and moon are hiding away the sun come back around eventually spreading its golden colorful hope into the sky chasing the darkness back to the shadows where it belongs. It was dark in mine and Violets apartment now. Probably around 3 am. I don't sleep much, not that she does either we both struggle in that department. Going to sleep is something I love but hate so much. I don't ever know when the night terrors are going to come and I hate putting Vi through that. The screaming and crying, its a lot to handle and she has enough to deal with. Me and her live in this shitty one bedroom apartment on the south side of town. Technically were not of age to be living on our own. Were both 17 but no one on this side of town gives a shit as long as there getting there money you can do what ever you want. Me and Vi go way back, we have been friends since elementary school. Most people who don't know us well think were gay, were not tho. But hey whatever, personally I think if you don't get a little gay with your best friend with out it being awkward your not close enough to be best friends. I'm not gay and she's not gay but that dosn't mean we cant be gay together! Violet is basically my sister. We have been through so much together.

Violet's POV
The sun is streaming through the blinds hitting my face. I grumpily roll over knowing full well I'm already awake and won't be going back to sleep any time soon. Doesn't mean I cant wish. I glance over at Kat laying on her mattress that's placed on the floor. I know shes awake but I let her be and get up to go make breakfast. She didn't sleep again last night I can tell by the look on her face. I at least got a few hours. Getting out two bowls and the frosted flakes I pour milk into the bowls with the cereal and pour two glasses of the coffee I just made bringing it into our room.
I quietly open the door and sit Indian style next to her mattress "I made you some Cereal Kat" she smiled up at me and took the bowl setting it between her legs. 'How'd you sleep?" I ask already knowing her response.
"I didn't sleep what about you Vi?"
"I slept for a few hours, better than I normally do"
She smiled up at me and we finished breakfast in silence but not the awkward kind. When we finished I took our bowls to the kitchen. " Want to go Flying today Kat?" I yelled from the kitchen. She yelled back a yea before I heard the shower turn on. Walking into the steam filled bathroom to wash my face. Kat was trying to sing in the shower, lets just say she should stick to drawing and fighting.
"Shut up Kat you sound like a dying cat"
"Bitch I will sing if I want to, hop off my lady dick'
"whore"
"punta"
Kat and her stupid Spanish. I left the bathroom after i washed my face so my ears wouldn't explode. a few minutes later Kat came out fully dressed in a swimsuit top and some daisy dukes.
We left the apartment a half hour later both dressed in swimsuit tops and daisy dukes, aviators adorning our faces. Walking down the broken worn steps that always smelled like piss with some hobo passed out in the middle of them to our car. Which happens to not be a piece of shit like everything else in this neighborhood. We had three cars, a black and white Mclaren P1, a black 2013 charger and a blazer. Not one of those cars cost us a penny either. We won them. Getting in the blazer we headed to the mountains.
------------------------------------
We finally got to Paradise cove after the hour or so it took to drive up here. From the main road it's about a mile hike to get to the cliffs. Its this beautiful place with cliffs around this fresh water spring you can jump into. Looking up I saw Kat on top of the 100 foot cliff. She started running and jumped going head first towards the pool of water below her. Just as she was about to hit the water her wing came gracefully spreading from her back. Her wings were so pretty. White fading into midnight black color. I'm much more reserved and took off from the ground to catch up with her in the sky. Stretching my own wigs which were grey on top fading into white. We come here to fly because nobody really comes here any more. Its pretty secluded and so pretty. We are different, we are Fire birds. The name isn't totally fitting because yes we could manipulate fire we can also manipulate the rest of the elements. So if I wanted a thunderstorm of a tornado and grass in the middle of winter Kat and i can make that happen. We can also move things with our minds and hear other peoples thought or talk in each others heads. Yea all that cool telekinesis stuff we can do that. We found out what we were when we turned 10. Our parents freaked out and left us alone in the Ghetto. Ever since then we have been on our own surviving off each other.
