The one thing about flying was that it burned energy like a bonfire.

Everything else was amazing. The bittersweet feeling that rose in her chest whenever she simply dropped from a cliff and soared high above the world; the view; the freedom. It was everything she had dreamed about for fourteen years while she was locked in that hellhole.

Demi's pure white wings beat down powerfully, causing her to rise slightly. Thirteen feet across and, despite looking a bit ragged, beautiful in the warm sun.

It was a cloudy day. That meant she could fly around without fear of being seen. Right now she was soaring over a town. Town. Something unknown to her before two weeks ago, when she had successfully escaped from the School.

As she dipped lower, going through a cloud as she went, she saw that the streets were bustling with people. It was actually a quiet, obscure town, but how should she have known? Even ten people seemed like a lot to her.

So yes, flying was tiring. And she had only learned last week- she still had to stop often, though she was getting better. A demanding growl from her stomach told her that she'd better go get something to eat, or she would be getting dizzy in less than an hour.

Demi lost some altitude so that she could scan the area below without the clouds blocking her view. Forest, more forest, a body of water, more forest...

Oh. Demi's crimson eyes widened as she spotted a house a little ways from the big pond. It was far from the town, and quite small compared to the houses she'd seen- was it a cottage?

A cottage meant food. A grin spread across Demi's pale face, and she folded her wings against her back and plummeted towards the ground.

After making sure her wings weren't visible, just in case, Demi walked towards the cottage. She peered through the thick leaves, then drew back suddenly. There was a little boy holding an apple, as well as an older girl.
They looked happy, and clean, and well-fed. They wouldn't notice if some of their food disappeared, would they?

She walked in a wide arc around the cottage, so she was at the back. She darted forward towards the back door. There was a lock on it.
Luckily, Demi had the power to manipulate metal. She grabbed the lock, then ripped it in half easily, dropping it beside her.

Gently she turned the knob and pushed the door open, poking her head inside a bit to see if anyone was there. The smell of food wafted her way from the next room over- presumably the kitchen.
So there were people there after all. Demi cursed quietly. What would she do? Just run in and grab the food and split? It was dangerous, but she needed food...


(( Sorry that was so long. P: It was just for the intro. They'll be shorter in regular posts. ))

((horizon is 16 and joey is 7 what do you think??))

ooc; No problem Dust, I loooove reading posts like that :0 It means you took the time to make a good addition to the RP

((MEEP))

((joey grew a bunch of apples on the apple tree))

Demi's heart seemed to freeze when she heard footsteps. It was too late to run; the tall, dark-haired boy was already glaring at her from inside.
"Who are you?" He snapped coldly.
Her heart gave a little kick of terror, sending adrenaline shooting through her veins at the sound of his menacing voice. He certainly wasn't friendly.
As she wrenched herself out of the doorway she caught a glimpse of his wings, casually half-folded.

He was like her.

Though she was still tense and her heart was still racing, the sight of the wings made her pause. Then her common sense kicked in. So what? He still seemed like he could lash out at her at any moment.
Still, he was taller and better built than she; he would have no trouble catching up to her if she tried escaping. Flying or running. She might as well ask while she was here.

She took a deep breath and clenched her fists at her sides, resisting the urge to simply fly away. She kept a respectable distance from him. "Can I have some food?" She asked, looking straight in to his chocolate-brown eyes with her bright crimson ones.

She could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she waited for his answer. She wondered what he would think of the request; from her appearance she was obviously malnourished, and had cuts scattered across the visible parts of her skin, some of which were still bleeding.

Horizon watched Seeley dissapear into the cabin. She quickly followed behind him. She walked out the back door and saw a girl. She heard her ask if she could have any food. Horizon looked at the girl. . She smiled and beckoned  her, "Come to the front there's apples there" she told her. "Seeley she can have some food rigt?" she asked him even though she had just as much power to choose as he did she still asked him.

(( Miniret, Demi's wings are hidden. ;o Horizon can't see 'em. ))

((i knew that...))

(( xD Lawl. ))

"Come to the front there's apples there." Said another girl, who had come up beside the tall dude with the wings, which were now folded against his back.
Demi took another step back, shooting her a glance. Did she have wings too?
"Seeley she can have some food right?" The girl said.

Demi licked her dry lips. So his name is Seeley. She made a mental note.

(( Bump. :3 ))

((hey just wanted to tell you all that my sister, minirent won't be on until tomorrow she went over to a friends house and told me to tell you that))
