Wings of Liberation (Sample)

Chapter 1

I stare at the water of the waterfall, falling down to the stream.

He's late. I thought, how long do I have to wait?

I took in the surrounding, it's dark out even though I notice some glowing mushrooms on the trees, illuminating soft blue light. This forest is a nice place that we tend to meet up when our parents are in bed. We have been dating in secret for 3 months and we haven't been caught. At least that's what we pretty much thought.

"Sorry I'm late!" I heard a voice and turned around to see him.

He has pale skin glowing blue from the mushrooms with a pitch-black hair with a white streak at the front. He has his horns that are white and thick curved like ram horns, black wings, and a long white tail. I'm different than him with celestial wings, thin, silver black horns and black tail.

I got closer to him and hug him, "It's fine and at least you made it."

"I know babe and sorry that it took me a while to get there because my brother is you know how he is every time I baby sit him."

I chuckled, "Yeah I do, he's having trouble sleeping without your mom reading him a bedtime story?"

Ignis nod at me and leaned in to touch my lips with his. I deepen the kiss and placed my hand on his neck. We don't notice anything at all and we're lost in our own little world. Just being ourselves where no one knows that we're together.

After what feels like an hour of kissing, we took a breather and looked at each other. "I love you Ignis, I want to stay with you and go to a place where no one knows our name." I whisper with a smile. He has always been here for me even when others weren't. He always cheers me up and sometimes we go out and do stupid shit like going to abandon buildings that are prob illegal to enter without permission, sneaking out and exploring other places in small towns away from home, going out to the forest, drinking and making out.

"Yeah and when the finals are over, we can run away together." Ignis responded.

"For real? I thought we're waiting till you know till like at collage where we can live together at a house and be far away from our friends and family?" I asked

Ignis leaned his forehead against my shoulder, "I know but how long can we wait before other suspect that we're-you know together? And we have about 2 years left of high school till we can leave to the same collage and be...us."

I frowned as I thought about it. I know there are times when we have been suspected ever since sneaking out to meet each other in secret like one time my mom questioned me if I have been sneaking out and I hid that I just went out to the park for a late night walk on days that I can't sleep, she ended up grounding me and taking my phone away. She never sees my text and we're very careful of how we talk over text and used secret codes to send each other flirty texts. There are times we slip up the flirty texts and forgot to type it out in secret code that we immediately delete it after it was sent before others look over to our phones.

"Maybe we can think about running away later after the finals."

Ignis looked up to me, "Really?"

I look at him deep into his eyes, "Yes, really."

After the finals is over, I flew to the same spot in the forest with my bag of stuff that I need with stolen money from my parents and grandma. Although we may be flying for a while, we still need to stop at resting inns.

We picked out a location that is 8 hours long to fly there. There's this big city called Nalur. It's a diverse and lgbtq friendly community that we both can feel comfortable living there. The apartments aren't too expensive and we can get jobs or do odd jobs for other people living there. There are diffent types of monsters and mythics living all over the world. Some towns have only the specific ones and if your, for example, a centaur in a werewolf town, you'd probably get stared at or get eaten by gangsters. Yes cannibalism exists and there's laws that creatures shouldn't eat each other and have to give permission to someone who is okay with being eaten. Unfortanally there are creatures who ignored the rules and if they got caught, they'll end up as food than a normal jail. For creatures who have died from accidents or from a sickness or birth, gets donated and packaged up as meats. There are other vegan options like vegies or tofu. Me and Ignis are vegan so we always chose vegan options whenever we can. If not then we'll have to deal with digusting thoughts about eating a creature that once was alive. We both hoped that this area won't make us eat creatures and have vegan options since the reviews of this place says that it is vegan friendly from the restraunts that we looked at along with the stores that we might go there for groceries.
