Show us your wings Pt.1

So this idea was not made by me, I am not this creative, but this story is mine!

Only a few rare people on earth have wings, I am one of them. Some people say it's a blessing, some say it's a curse. I think it's a curse, no matter how "beautiful" my wings are, I cannot show them to the world. It also doesn't matter that I can take flight, because I can't in public, heck, I feel like I'm being watched even at home! Wings can also be messy sometimes, I have to be careful so that no one sees my feathers. I also can't sleep on my back and showering is such a pain. So basically wings are awful.

You might be wondering, why are you hiding your wings? Well since wings are so rare, they can get you lots of money. Some people also don't like winged people because we're different. Most winged folks get killed because of a careless slip up resulting in people finding out that they have wings, resulting in them being killed for either money or for being different. That is why no one knows that I have wings other than my parents, not even my younger siblings know in fear that they'll tell other people on accident. 

I joined to galaxy garrison because I've always loved flying but I obviously can't fly with wings, and I've always wanted to go past the sky into space, so that was my chance. It was also a plus that my uniform can hide my wings very well. 

I never expected to be taken away from home into space, and now as the team grows closer, I realize that I should stop growing closer or else they'll find out my secret. I mean, I don't know their opinions on wings, what if they hate wings? I can't risk it. 

In the mornings when I'm "doing my skincare routine", I'm not just doing my skincare routine, I'm also grooming my wings and making sure that they still look nice. 

If you were wondering (which you probably weren't), yes, training is very hard, and yes my armor hurts to put on. I sometimes have to train without wearing my armor, which means that I have to wear multiple layers of clothes, which means that I sweat even more that I should. Wearing that many layers also slow down your movement because all that sweat and all of that clothes makes it harder to bend my elbows or move my body. 

If you're wondering what my wings look like and how big they are, they are like snowy owl wings, or angel wings. They are also pretty big, which makes it harder to hide. My wings are as tall as my back and if I stretch my arms and my wings out, the tips of my wings barely touch my wrist. Luckily, my wings are pretty flexible and can hide well.  

I'm getting off track haha, okay so basically what I'm trying to say is that wings suck. I also wish that I had someone that I could tell. I hate having all these thought in my own head. I am constantly afraid that someone might kill me, or that my team will find out about my wings and turn against me. I just want to know what they think about wings so that when I am ready to tell them about my wings, they won't try and hurt me. Today during our team exercise I had the chance to ask.

And I took it.
