Fate

Chapter 7

We are birds who have a string attached to us, and as we try to fly away, fate pulls us back down, keeping us stuck and only being what fate wants us to be. Only a few can change and escape that string and fly free. Kye was one trying to be one of those few free birds. I've seen so many try to escape and it blew up in their faces. The few who did escape, made their lives better. Many people in history freed themselves of the string and did because I told them a fate they did not like. Can you blame them?

Kye was trying to change his and mine. He was trying to rewrite fate and I was going to be in trouble if we continue with this crazy plan of his. This mythical stone. I wanted to believe it was real, but I had doubts. But at lest I get to spend an entire week with him before I'm called away. Hopefully. Calls come at the worst of times, but since he didn't accept his fate, I guess I'm stuck until he does change his fate. I was scared and nervous. So many fears, worries, and questions raced in my mind. Egypt can be dangerous. Or it was when I was there last.

I don't like deserts, but we had to go find this stone and it only made me more worried. It was going to be dangerous, I'm not going to lie. I told Kye that but he was determind to seperate my fate from me. And I loved him for that. I was growing more in love in him as we talked about getting this stone. I became love sick. And then my head hurt.

Majesty's way of warning me to be careful. I couldn't help it though! The day after we went to the library and after school, I went back to my cloud and then went to see Majesty. I stepped onto her cloud and looked at her.

She had a golden glow, and her hair floated on it's own. She was so beautiful. I can't decribe her because, like me, she changes apperances lots. She had her eyes closed, but I knew that she knew I was there. I looked at my feet then at her again, "I'm sorry, but I can't stop these feelings, you know that." She said nothing. "Kye really wants to be with me and I want to be with him, but I can't. That's why he's doing this. He's-"

"He's changing his fate," She said, opening her eyes and looking at me, "I've been watching of how this plan of his will turn out. I will let you do this, but do you really want to? Becoming mortal won't be easy, and if you do, your life will be extremly hard. Go now, and think if you really want to be mortal. Is love worth it?"

The question hit me so hard. Is love worth becoming mortal? Am I willing to risk it? To throw away the only life I've ever known? I left Majesty and thought hard about the choices I was going to have to make. Was I ready?

Is love worth it?
