I can't sleep. My mind is too active. I know Logan would tell me that this isn't good for my health, but he'd say that about a lot of things I do lately.

Nothing I ever try seems to work. No matter how hard I try, I can't get my wings to come out. Roman's done it, Hailey's always been able to, and I didn't miss Virgil's, even though he was fast to tuck them in.

With a sigh, I throw back the covers. Since sleep won't come to me, I decide to head outside, but not before writing a note. I leave it on my desk, then head outside. The crisp autumn air sharpens my senses.

I know there is a clearing in the woods surrounding our house, so I head there, leaves crunching underfoot. I lay down on the damp grass, my hands behind my head. The stars glimmer softly overhead.

My eyelids finally grow heavy. With a sigh, I close them and drift into a dreamless sleep, knowing nothing can hurt me.
