Free Flying - Luna (best books to read in life .TXT) 📗

so much, her smile, her eyes by the way they used to sparkle whenever she laughed, and she's pretty much starved to death. I get up and lay next to her. Just like we used to. We knew each other since we were born. We were abandoned and had to live on our own for who knows how long, most of our lives. We arent related but we both have avian DNA in our genes. We don't know who made us, but we promised that all we needed was eachother, and I broke that promise. I abandoned her, but I never stopped looking for her. I wrap my wound so I don't bleed to death, and I grab her and hold her. I fell asleep just like that and dreamt about better times.
Chapter 4
Luna's POV
I dreamed about Zero and I. This is the first time that it wasn't about that terrible day. I't was when we used to fall asleep in each others arm, protecting each other from danger. My eyes open, and Zero's sleeping face is so close to mine that my heart skips a beat. I remember that he finally came to rescue me. I look at his shirt that's ripped, and notice that my wrist are bandaged up to stop the bleeding. He wrapped his wound too. I feel so calm, more than I ever have in two years. "Mew" I look down and see Ruu looking at me with big eyes. "Quiet Ruu, Zero's sleeping" I shifted so I wouldn't wake him up, and saw water in a rock, I drank it gratefully, but left plenty for Zero. I traveled farther in the cave, and saw a little pond. I decided I should clean up while he's sleeping. I took off my shirt and pants, and I saw so many scars. As I was looking, at myself, Zero ran in in a hurry and yelled. "Luna!? Where are you...? He stared at my scared body and didn't look away. "Ah...Um..." I threw my shirt over me and crouched down, ashamed. I heard him walk over, and I started to panic. But instead, he wrapped his arms around me apoligizing over and over. "What are you sorry for? You didn't do this." "I know but I didn't come sooner...I'm so sorry..." "It's not your fault, it's mine." "DON'T SAY THAT! I cringe away from him afraid that he's going to hurt me like the guards did. I don't know why I thought that, Zero would never hurt me. "Im sorry. You were about to take a bath right? Sorry, we dont have any more clothes you could put on. But we'll get new ones when your recovered." He hands me his jacket and strides out of the room.
Chapter 5
I stepped into the cool water, and immediatly blood and dirt and filth went into the water and I started to think about why Zero was acting so strange. I know that were older now and alot has happend, but does he hate me because Iv'e caused him so much trouble? I don't wan't to think that, but I can't get it out of my brain. I walk over towards the edge to change back into my grungy clothes when an idea pops in my head: I should just wash my clothes in here too. I grab my clothes and soak them and scrub them. When everything I can get out of it is gone I hang it up on a rock. Now I have to wait. I put on Zero's jacket and smell it. It smells just like him. I notice blood on it and decide to wash this too. I wade in the pool, diving underwater to clean my hair and such until my clothes are dry. When they're finally dry, I get out of the pool and put them on. I look in the reflection in the mirror, and I look relativly normal again except that my stomach is nothing but ribs, and I still have cuts and bruises all over. I attemped to comb my hair with a spiky rock, and while I was walking I tripped and fell and I couldn't get the energy to stand up and my head was pounding I started to freak out, and I couldn't breathe. I started to cough and bloods coming out.."Zero..."
Zero's POV
While I waited for Luna to finish bathing I couldn't help but think of all the scars on her body. I could count all of her ribs from where I was standing. She probably thinks I'm mad at her because I all of a sudden ran out of there. I couldn't help it, I was getting carried away and I didn't wanna do anything stupid. I know that she's a girl and she probably hasn't taken a bath in forever, buts it's taking her a long time to come out I want to check on her, but if I walk in again she's going to think i'm a pervert. I'll go knock I guess. I ran towards the bathroom and knocked on the wall, "Hey,*knock,knock,knock* Are you ok in there? Youv'e been in there a long time." "Hey! Answer Me!" Why isn't she answering?!?! "Im coming in!" I peek in and see her lying on the floor with blood coming out of her mouth. "Luna!! Whats Wrong?!" I shook her, and shook her, but she didn't move and she wasn't breathing. "Damn what do I do?" A thought occured to me. Aren't I supposed to do mouth-to-mouth in this situation? I look at her, she isn't breathing, and her face is pale, and her lips are turning blue. I lean in closer to her face. I really wish our first kiss wasn't like this...I put my mouth on hers and blow air into it. Her lips are ice cold, but hers the same. I pull back and do chest compressions "1,2,3..." I go back to her lips and blow more air. She starts to move, and I sit her up and she starts to cough. She throws up blood, alot of it. "I can't breathe..." she whispers, "Water..." I run over to tho bowl and help her drink it. She coughs more but doesn't throw up. "Are you ok?" I ask. "Yeah...sorry about that..." "Do you know what happened?" I asked. "Uh, no not really... I just got really dizzy,and I couldn't breathe." I stare at her blankly, I didn't have a clue of what to do, or say. "We need to go somewhere better than a cave, and it's too out in the open." she said, "And they will probably find us quick if we stay here, were not far from the Institution." So that was what that horrible place was called, I thought. Yeah..., but to fly far away,you would need to fly too. I don't think I could carry you far enough." She looked down, and I looked at her once beautiful wings, all withered now. "I'll help you get back to normal, It may take a while, but i'll teach you how to fly again." She looked so sad when she stared at me in shock. "Thank you so much," she said. I knew that she meant for more than the flying part, "Don't worry we'll get you flying in no time." I smiled at her,and for a second, she smiled back.
Chapter 6
Luna's POV
"Come on,I know it's hard,but let your wings out all the way." I knew Zero was being patient with me, but I can't even fully open my wings. I push as hard as I can. I feel my wings come out all the way. It feels so good that I moan.Since I was locked in a cage, and couldn't risk my wings being seen outside, they haven't been fully opened in a very long time. Zero smiles at me, "See? Doesn't that feel good?" I nod,"What now?" "Try moving them around a little before you fly, otherwise you wont be able fly at all, and all you'll do is hurt yourself." It went like that for about a week, and by doing little by little, my wings look normal again.Today he says im going to fly. Im really nervous, he says that i'll jump off a cliff and try to fly like we've practiced. If I can't do it he'll fly down and pick me up before I splat. I trust him, but I can't help feeling nervous. He's going to fly with me just in case anything happens. Im standing on the cliff looking over the edge. This reminds me of the day I was seperated from Zero. I look behind me, no guard,just Zero, "You ready?" I take a deep breath, "As ready as ill ever be." I let my wings out, its much easier than the first time, but I still love it when the wind blows againts them. "When I say go, you can start running and jump off, don't slow down and just do what we practiced, Ill be right behind you." "Ok." I wait what seems like forever when he orders, "Go." I run like a bullet, and don't stop. I see the edge nearing me quickly. I start to panic, but I don't stop. I jump off and let the wind through my wings, and flap a hard downstroke. It hurt a little, but the feeling of flying again erases all the pain. I go higher than any plane, I hear Zero catching up fast behind me. I get competitive all of a sudden and go faster. I scream, "Catch me if you can!" I look back, and see him smile at me. He's really fast, but I think I can go faster. Were head to head, but I think he's letting me win. "Come on! You can do better than that! Don't tell me your gonna get beat by a girl!He speeds up and passes me easily, and just to taunt me, every time I get close he speeds up ahead of me easily while im using all my energy just to stay close behind him. All of a sudden, my mind shuts off and I start to drop like a stone. Zero notices and pulls his wings in to catch up. I can't move at all and see a river getting close to me. Zero is'nt gonna make it in time, it's too late. He stares at me in horror and I just stare back. He reaches out his hand to mine, and grab it floating in the wind. We have no time to dodge it, so all he can do is hold on to me and take full impact of the water. We go under, and I can't breathe. A bunch of ice cold water goes down my throat and I start to choke. We're carried downstream and the currents too strong and Zero's wings are to wet to be able to spread out,so we can't fly out of here. He tries to grab rocks and debrie but they all float out of reach. He grabs onto a branch that fell,but I slip out of his hand and fall down a waterfall.
THE END?!?
If you want me to make volume 2 tell me and ill make it. I just
