Chapter 9

Ch 9

I looked to the noise and there walked out of the darkness Anthony. I ran to him and threw my arms around him as I did he winced in pain. I looked to see a huge gash on his left wing. “What happened here?” “When you fell you blacked out and William saw that and tried to go after you. I jump in front of the attack and that is how I got this cut. We fought for hours and then I finally remembered the sun.” “The sun?” “You know how it is shaded down him under the trees?” “Yes.” “Well it isn’t above them, so I grabbed him and flew him up beyond the trees and then I threw him high into the sky and then he burst into flames.” “So it is over?” “I am not sure…I do not know if there are more or if more will come to this town. I still think the best thing for us is to get out and go over the mountain.” “Can you still fly?” “Yes but not as fast or as long for now. We can fly to the top were the river starts and set up came till morning.” “Ok let’s go.” He swooped me up and flew straight up to the sky. He flew right to the top and then he started to bob up and down. “You better land.” He nodded and landed on the other side of the river. He set me down and I pulled out a blanket from my backpack for him to lie down on. I kneeled down beside him and hummed the same melody he had hummed to me. He slowly drifted to sleep. I lay beside him and stared into the night sky and hoped the worst was over. I woke the next morning and sat up and looked all around me. I looked next to me and Anthony was still a sleep. I got up and looked around, it was so beautiful I looked out past the trees and there stood Canada. We had made it past the river and now our lives could go on. I moan from behind me I turned to see Anthony trying to sit up. I ran to his side and helped him slowly sit up. I looked at his wing and the cut had closed up over night. He placed his hand on my face, “We made it and now I can I ask you some thing?” “Of course, anything.” “Will you marry me?” I looked into his eyes they were so pure and honest and a light beamed through them. “Of course I will.” I was a little afraid to hug him but he gave me a look saying I couldn’t break him. He pulled me in and wrapped his arms around me. He kissed me forehead and had me lean against him. He got up carrying me with him and then shot right into the sky and went down to the town at the bottom of the mountain
