The Little Angel

The first thing I remember is hearing a kind voice, I couldn't see where it was coming from, but I knew that the voice loved me. Then I remember the cold, the earth shattering silence and my cries, I wanted to go back to the comfort. I remember being covered in something warm, it was soft and then I remember my mother, she was crying, I also remember my father, he was smiling as he held me. 

After the day I came into the world, I was doted on and loved. My father's hair was ginger, and he had enchanting silver eyes, he always spoke softly to me. My mother was different, she had massive wings the colour of caramel, she was beautiful, she had white hair and polarising green eyes, I was born with wings similar to my mother, I had hair like my father and the same eyes as my mother. My mother would constantly carry me around our little house on her hip, she always wrapped her wings around me and always smiled. 

As the years went by I grew bigger, my wings started to get darker, but they never went any darker than a creamy tan colour, my hair became curly and red. 

My parents loved taking me on adventures into the forest, we would often go into the Adamiani forest, but one day I saw a horse standing near the river, I flapped my wings and bounced over to the horse, my mother and father had followed me, but then they both got onto the horses back, I wasn't big enough to get on the horse, but the horse ignored me and dove into the river, I waited for it to come back with my parents but it never did. I ran all the way back to our home in Adamiani, I fell over a vine that was across the path as I ran and I didn't notice the wolf pup that saw me, I got up and kept running. I ran all the way home and straight into our little house. Then the wolf pup ran after me, I looked at it and it looked at me, I could see its ribs through its fur. The wolf pup jumped at me and bit my arm as I tried to protect myself, I screamed in pain but the wolf pup didn't let go, I could feel my blood dripping down my arm. Then I hit the pup on the head as hard as I could, my fist was hard enough to cause the pup to let go of my arm, I got up and looked at the pup. The pup looked as scared as I was, so I reached my hand out to it, I stroked the wolf pup on the head before I looked at my arm, I knew a single healing spell that my mother had taught me and I used it, my arm stopped bleeding. After a while I got up and went into our kitchen, I grabbed what I thought the pup might like to eat, the pup had followed me for some reason, I offered the food out to the pup and it nearly bit my hand. The pup ate the food and then gently licked my hand, it seemed to be apologising for biting me.

A month after the horse had taken my parents, a scary man came to the door of our house, he told me that I had to leave and that I was trespassing in his house, my pup barked at him and the man kicked my pup, I ran at the man and beat him on the leg as hard as I could, the man laughed at me and kicked me away, I picked up my pup and started crying, then I ran out of the house. I didn't know what to do so I as I walked through Adamiani carrying my pup with a tear stained face, I noticed some adults looking at me strangely, I walked up to a lady who seemed nice,
"excuse me, I don't know where to go" the lady looked down her nose at me and I felt a jab in my stomach that caused me to fall over backwards and drop my pup, I fell into a puddle of mud and looked at the lady who was already walking off. I noticed a couple of older boys across the street, they were laughing at me. They walked over to me and pulled at my wings,
"get out of here Angel, nobody likes your kind"
"yeah, get lost Angel" the boys pulled at my wings and pulled my feathers out, I wasn't an angel and I'd never seen an Angel before, the boys eventually threw me back into the mud and walked  off, my pup had been barking at the boys the entire time and came over to me and licked my cheek gently. I got up and walked through the town, I was in the marketplace and I walked until I found a building that smelled strange, I saw a few men laughing loudly, I walked around the back of the building and found my path blocked by a fence, I squeezed under the fence and curled up next to the building, in the corner made by the fence. My pup curled up beside me and we fell asleep in the dirt. 

I woke the next morning to a horrible smell, I blinked a few times and realised where I was, I burst into tears and pulled my legs up close to my chest. My pup nuzzled into my arms and licked my tears, 
"Thanks, Ling" the pup yapped once at me and I smiled, Ling, as I called him now, spun around and chased his tail which made me laugh.

I got up and squeezed back under the fence, I walked back around to the front of the building and looked at the piece of wood hanging infront of it, the wood had 'bar' scratched into it and had been painted to make the letters easier to read. There were different men outside now but they were laughing like the men from last night. I noticed a large red headed man who I thought was my father, 
"FATHER?" I yelled out to the man but he didn't respond, I ran into the building and up to the man, I pulled on his tunic which caused him to push me away, which made me fall down,
"GO BACK TO THE SHOP MINA"  I realise that the man isn't my father and that he's mistaken me for someone else. 

I will update this further soon, I have writers block sorry.
