Feathers That Destroy - Aurora Kryan (bill gates book recommendations TXT) 📗

/>
I asked him winching at the pain that flared in my ribs as I drew in a bigger breath. He smiled at me very slowly like there was a huge secret I wasn’t in on. I was never going to know how he knew Cory because the man raised his hand and cut the slightest smallest cut on his palm just deep enough to draw blood.

A white light began to glow around the black feather in his hand like the ones that were destroying everything and I thought I was going to die. I closed my eyes tightly regretting throwing the rock at him before I buried Cory and what was left of my mom and maybe even Casper.

“Stop it Alex.”

That voice. I opened my eyes and yes it was. There stood gasping and clutching his side was Cory. He looked like an angel, a hot Goth angel that had come to my rescue. I don’t know why but the man Alex growled in frustration and took off to the sky glaring at both of us before shooting down a person that was screaming and running in our direction.

Cory collapsed again in agony this time gasping harder and trying not to scream I guessed. I didn’t remember him getting hit by whatever those things were In fact it was like they were avoiding us really.

“Cory what’s wrong?”

“I can’t stop it anymore!”

He yelled at me and he was surrounded by light. I was thrown back a little and blinded but I still heard Cory’s agonizing screams. I tried to find him or his shape something, anything in the light but I couldn't see anything. And then I saw a black feather hanging there in mid air, a hand encircled it and the screaming stopped. The light disappeared but my eyes couldn’t adjust that fast it was all bright and spotty. I was still worried about Cory

what had just happen to him?

“Cory?”

I called out dazed and confused. There was pressure on my shoulder and I tried to look at it I vaguely made out a hand with a black studded bracelet, Cory, My vision was clearing as the seconds went by and he helped me up. Holding me to him protectively for a few minutes to be sure I was able to stand and then letting me go. I lightly shook my head out and asked him what was going on.

“What happened are you all right I thought we were, oh my god your one of them!”

He just laughed at me and unfurled his black wings for emphasis. That was how Alex knew him, he was one of them. And why he had left when Cory told him to leave me alone. Why I was safe and the lights didn’t land close enough to us to hurt us. Why I wasn’t so freaked out about this whole thing because my friend was an angel. My guardian angel? My own hot guardian angel.

“Cory.”

“Yeah, Jasmine.”

“It’s the end of the world.”

“I know would you like to live through it?”

“Be nice.”

I held out my hand to him and he took it. I was going to ask him so many questions when this was all over. He started leading the way to somewhere I knew would be safe. Safe from the end of the world and from feathers that destroy.
