+ Leaf-Wings +
I am hosting a party at my house, but I'm not participating in the festivities. Instead I am sitting in the kitchen with no lights on. Where the pantry should be, there is a stair that leads to the basement, where the party it apparently taking place. Jeremy enters, saying he has to leave. Jenn is there was well. I volenteer to walk him home, and Jenn decides to come along. We walk toward my old elemantry school (just a street away from my house), joyful to be out in the night air. It is pleasently warm, and so Jenn and I begin to run around, spinning and looking up at the sky. Jeremy watches us almost apathically. We land on the ground, dizzy, and stare up at the sky.
I leap into the air, discovering that I have small green wings attached to my arms (from my wrist to my elbow). They look like leaves, instead of feathers. I excitedly show Jenn and she notices her's as well. Together we leap around, unable to really fly becaus ethe wings aonly allow for a short, but amazingly fun, glide. They seem small but when they catch wind they get big and hold it like a parachute.
We encourage Jeremy. to try it as well (he still hasn't seen that he has wings as well). Flying toward the playground of the school, I can see there are some strange creatures in the fields but i cannot remember what they look like and I ignore them. We fly over the fence and I assure him (he seemed to be uneasy about something - the first emotion he expresses) it's okay, by gliding over the fence in a small leap back to him.
From the corner of my eye I can see a large white hand coming to grab him. Gasping, I scream, telling him to look out, but he didn't seem to hear me. Knocking him from the path of the White Hand, I urge him to run and take Jenn with him. Something like realization dawns on him and his eyes widen.
I try to run, but the White Hand grabs my foot and pulls me into the air. I can't get away, but I see the others are.
