The Wings Within

Ch. 1: Where and How it all Started

~Diary Entry, Nov. 25, 2001~

-Good Afternoon, birthday diary! Tonnique (taw nee kwa) here to say on this awesome day... Terrison (tair eh sun) and I are finally turning 7! Goodness are we excited! I need to head downstairs now. Time for lunch, goodbye for now!-
 

As I finished my diary entry, I headed downstairs to the dining room where I smelled the scent of macaroni and cheese. My father right away greeting me with a "Hello, Princess Flamerose, how is your birthday going so far?" I replied with an "Okay Dad, you can stop teasing me about that now!", giving him a playful stink eye. "Calm down, Ton-Ton, and eat before your food gets cold." I did as told after smoothing out my dark purple, ruffled dress and sitting down. Somehow, Mom always makes the best macaroni and cheese. My sister sitting across from me asked if we could go play with our dog after lunch. Of course, she said yes, after scolding the blonde haired twin of mine about talking with her mouth full. It's strange to think that Terrison's hair is so blonde it's practically white, yet mine is as black as the night sky. After we finished, we went outside with our pink and purple striped Frisbee, we played with our perky puppy dog for about an hour. We then headed back inside for a drink of water. Being tired and all, we went upstairs and watched one of our favorite movies. Being two hours long, we went back downstairs after wiping away our tears from the movie. As we walked downstairs, we saw that our parents had dimmed the lights, and we noticed the beautiful butterfly and rose frosting covered cake with 14 candles lit.. Seven candles, seven wishes, for both Terri and me. We both blew out our candles, one by one. After we had made our wishes, we cut the cake and ate up. Dad then gave us both a rose, Terri's bright white, mine jet black. We then went outside where our dad made a fire. He said we could go into our treehouse for a while, so we did. Once we were in, we plopped down on our chairs and just started up a conversation. First it was about what our favorite thing about today was, then that lead to wondering what we would look like with as animals.  Then, out of nowhere, there were two blood curdling screams. One male, and one female. Right away, I noticed that both Terrison and I had started to tremble. "T-tonni, I-i'm scared, w-w-what should we d-do?" My twin said, trembling like a chainsaw. "I-i'll go check, I'm t-the o-older one, a-anyways." I hesitantly climbed down the ladder, gripping my rose. I turned around and saw what no child should ever see. I
dropped the rose, feeling like time was in slow motion. It dropped in the puddle of my parents' blood. I felt dizzy as a rag went to my face. Then, the world went black.

There is the preview of my story, may continue. But until then, peacies!
