Alex stood on a balcony over looking the city, her lovely black feathered wings wrapped tightly around her body. Too many emotions that had been dormant for so long were getting to her. She couldn’t take it and it was all because of one man. A man so arrogant, so self centered but yet so much a gentlemen and so giving at the same time. It just seemed so unreal. All she used to love was flying and the rush that came with it but now she felt something else-something for Lexander. Slowly she pushed herself away from the balcony, plummeting towards the rushing city lights. The air wrapped around her in a lovers embrace pulling her closer to the city streets. The air was her haven, the sky held no limit for her- she was free. Slowly and reluctantly she opened her wings, catching an up draft that pulled her back up into the night sky. She was at home and very much alive. “ Father midnight I call your arms my home, protect me from myself forever.” Both the night and day had given birth to her, both protected her, both loved her with and undying passion. On the horizon the beginning of morning hung. Alex’s time for freedom was at and end. Slowly she floated down to the rising city below. It was time to hide herself amongst those who treasured nothing, who loved nothing.
