Broken Wings

Two-Into the Woods

On our way to the forest, I saw other people heading the same way. It got dark and we had just arrived. It was at least 30 people here, they had made a big fire in the open area and put casks with alcohol a meter away from the fire. A girl had her phone connected to a big speaker and had on some pop music.

We headed to the alcohol. I took a sip now and then from my plastic cup to keep it up. We stood by the fire wild small talking. "Hey there Angel" Cam came from behind me and had bent down so his head was beside mine. He was much taller than me so he had to bent far down. "Are you calling me Angel just because you don't remember my name?" I asked ironically and turned around. "You came," he said, wiled avoiding my caustic comment. We were standing very close and I could almost hear my heart punching through my chest. "you must be cold. Here take my jacked" he took off his black leather jacket and hang it over my shoulders. Our distance didn't change, we were still standing millimetres from itch other. I felt warm and safe, I didn't know why. But the feeling didn't last, for seconds later I could feel the freezing wave through my body, the same I had felt before when Daniel and I had touched. I looked around but didn't need to look long, because only a few meters away he was standing.

Leaning against a tree he stood and stared at me. I turned my eyes at Cam and saw how he looked at Daniel, with hate and anger in his eyes he was now staring at him, Daniel stopped looking at me and responded Cams hate with waving with his hand and giving a cold smile. Suddenly I felt Cams hand going around my waist, his hands were soft and warm. And the cold feeling disappeared. He turned his look away from Daniel and looked at me, his eyes were dark again, what was before bright brown was now dark black. I almost couldn't see his pupils. I putted my hands on his chest, to keep some distance between us. Why did he make me feel so safe and warm? Why weren't I more stressed out over the whole Talk in My Mind thing...? Why had I not confronted him about it yet? What was I waiting for? "Why don't you let me know more about you?" I asked, I was so desperate to know at least something. "what do you mean?" He asked, "every time I had tried to ask you something about you, you change the subject." I looked at him for a second before I finished, "here's an example; Where do you come from?" He opened his mouth, ready to say it, finally, it was about time he talked me something.

But something made him change his mind and instead of answering he kissed me. Omg, he just kissed me, I returned his kiss. Why did I do that? I didn't want to kiss him, I didn't know anything about the guy. "See, that's what I was talking about, you don't let me know anything" I smiled a bit, I

the kiss. "And you don't know anything about me. Ok, what if I get a question, if you answer you get to ask me" I looked at him, this was a great idea. Finally, I could get him to talk. "There is nothing I need to know about you that I don't know already" he said and smiled, his eyes had turned brighter ... "You don't know anything about me" I stood on my toes so I could come higher up. "I know that you don't trust people, you are scared of what you can't control. That's your biggest weakness. But you have a sparkle, it means you would rather do what's right then what you are been told, that's why you are here." The smile was weaker, more serious. He was totally tight, well about the weakness thing at least. How did he know all of that? No one had ever said something like that before. I had always been careful showing people my weaknesses. We got interrupted by Arianna, "hey Nora can we talk?" She took my hand, I looked at Cam, "its ok, I can wait." He said and smiled again. Arianna dragged me behind some trees, "what is it?" I was not mad, she had interrupted us, I was more realized. "Cam is TOTALLY into you!" She whispered, "but seriously, Daniel is clearly mad at him, or jealous at you guys, because he is hardcore staring at you!" I looked behind the tree and back to the fire, Cam was standing there, and on the other side of the fire was Daniel standing and staring at Cam.

We went back, but when I had gotten back to the fire, Cam was gone. I looked around, started walking from the fire and looked around the area. Until I recognised his voice coming from behind me. "ley of me!" He yelled, I turned around and saw that he was fighting with Daniel. "Stay away from her!" Daniel yelled back, he took his left hand and punched Cam right in the face. I ran closer, people were gathering around them in a circle. I pushed myself in front of people. Cam got back on his feats and punched Daniel in the stomach. I laid a hand over my mouth, I didn't know what to do. They started going on each other, one punch after another. Blood came flowing.

They didn't stop before Rixson and another guy separated them and screamed at them to calm down. I ran to Cam, laid my hand on his bloody cheek. Blood was floating down from under his left eye, he had got a cut over the right eyebrow. He looked down at me, the smile was long gone. He laid his hands around my waist.

His eyes were darker than ever, I forgot every concern I had, all I could think about was him. Suddenly I felt dizzy, I grabbed his wrists and tried to stay up, my sight was unclear.

Cam looked worried at me, "You ok?" He said, he grabbed my hands and help me stand up. "I just... I..." I couldn't talk, I was too busy trying to get my sight back. I blinked hard and looked around me, what was going on? I hadn't been drinking so much, maybe it was because I didn't eat anything for lunch or dinner. "You need to sit down" he took my hand over his shoulders and lifted me up, I leaned my head at his chest, it was warm, and I felt tired. I could just fall asleep right here. I closed my eyes, I could hear music and people talking. I grabbed the leather jacket that was around me to make sure it didn't fall of. When I opened my eyes, I was still in his hands, we were in the woods, it was dark. He probably was walking me back to the Academy. "I'm sorry" I mumbled, I felt sorry for making him carry me all the way back. He didn't answer, he didn't even share a look with me. I described looked around me, we were deep in the forest, it was so dark. My eyelid felt heavy and I passed out again.

I opened my eyes, standing by a cliff, by the edge, I couldn't move or speak. The sky looked beautiful, the sun was heading down and the clouds were light pink. It was so peaceful. Under me was a long fall down to the ocean. The salty wind came behind me and I almost fell out. I couldn't breathe. Suddenly I felt someone pushed me, and I fell out. I screamed,

so loud it felt like my throat was going to explode. The fall lasted forever. I opened my eyes and saw the sharp stones and the salt water. When I was about to hit the bottom, I opened my eyes and saw the lamp on the roof.
