Ambers Experience by Sarah Faie (good non fiction books to read txt) 📖

"I can't do this Angel!" I shouted over the roar of the plane engine. Angel was like my sister we grew up in the same lab together just she was one year older than me. She was going to teach me to fly today but being 6 miles up in the air I couldn't. Yesterday watching her come free falling down toward the ground and then at the split second she had opened her massive wings a soared back up into the air. I wanted to learn to fly like her I could barely get two hundred feet off the ground when I tried to fly. "Amber I have told you a million times you can do this. Imagine your swimming through the ocean and your wings are your arms. Remeber when you were littler you used to run around flapping your arms because you couldn't even leave the ground? Well I know you can do this okay we jump when I say now!" I looked down. Spreading out my wings the 16 foot wing spand I pulled them in tight around me ready to go into a free fall. Angel looked at me and smiled doing the same thing with her pure white wings. "Now!" She yelled and jumped. I followed after her falling at a hundred and thirty miles a hour. I watched her spread out her wings. She motioned for me to do the same but I kept falling. When I reached 200 feet up I whiped out my wings and gave one very powerful flap. Up I went. All the while holding my breath. I looked at Angel who was flying a few feet above me.I kept falpping doing anything not to fall to my death waiting below. I went up until angel told me to stop and try working on my dogding.In her hands a blue ball of energy was forming. I smiled my most dangerous smile as she flung the ball at me I stopped beating my wings so I fell. Then I flapped hard rushing her when she least expected it. She rebounded and through another ball of energy at me. I easily dodged and made a ball of my own. I threw at her and I finally saw it's color, red werid it was supposed to be blue the kind that doesn't harm. Angel gasped and dodged at the last minute.The ball exploded where her head has been a second before. Angel looked at me and her jaw dropped. I turned and took off as fast as my wings could carry me. "How did you do that" I heard Angel's voice right next to me. But I knew she was just speaking in my mind. I blocked her out. I took off faster than I would have thought possible within ten minutes I had traveled four miles. I could fly just fine, better than ever actually I dont even remember learning to fly like this?! I heard the sound of the jet two miles back. I dropped twenty feet and looked behind me. It wasn't our jet. I had moments to think! I Flew up high and went into a nose dive straight down. The jet followed me swerving when I did going up and down as I did. I couldn't lose it. So I folded in my wings and fell down into the ocean below me. As I hit the water it was shockingly cold. I went straight down instead of up. Using my wings to push me down faster. I kept my eyes open when their bodies hit the water and came after me. Two of the people held a net. The other three were trying to catch me. I had to get out of the water but I knew I wouldn't be able to fly. My wings were wet, soaking wet for that matter. The only choose I had was to stay under and swim as fast as my wings could propel me. I had the ability to hold my breath under water for up to two hours maxium. I heard a werid sound from up above. I whipped up to the top to see a fishing boat I needed to get on it. I started to swim over to it my head above water. As I reached a range of twenty feet away from the boat one of the fisherman saw me. He helped me a board until. He saw my wing then he staggered back a few steps. I pressed them against my back and spoke. "Thank you very much." I looked back down at the water and saw a couple of heads bobbing up and down on the surface of the water in the distance. I frowned why had they chased me I hadn't done anything too them. I sat down as the boat went to shore. "Hi, are you an angel?" I looked up to see the fisherman was really a boy my age with golden hair and a well built body. I shook my head. "I don't know what I am!?!" He took a seat next to me and looked wearily at me wings. I looked at them too and lowered my head. They were almost dry and we were still miles from shore. I stood up and the boy rose with me I strechted out my wings and began flapping them. I got a little ways off the deck of the large boat but not much. I landed again and sighed. Looking up at the endless sky I hoped to see Angel flying past but I wasn't that lucky. "What is your name?" I looked at the golden boy."Amber Wolf what's your name?" I asked. He just frowned at me and shrugged. "MIGUEL!!" A booming vocie called as a round man rounded a corner and saw us. I tucked my wings in a tightly as possible and looked at the man. "Who is this girl Miguel?" I stepped backward and answered for haim "Amber sir uh.. Miguel here helped me aboard It was a freefall gone bad and I landed in the water he helped me out." I waited for a reaction from the man but none came so I spread out my wings which were mostly dry now. " I can go now Thank you again Miguel." With that said even though I was tired from the flying and swimming I ran over to the edge of the boat where no rail was and dived off. I gave a powerful flap of my wings and rose into the air just slightly above the water. "Wait ma'am ride to shore with us." I heard the booming voice call I stopped and turned around just looked at the man forty feet away and hovered above that water. "I don't want to be trouble and I must find my sister sor-" I was saying one thing one moment the next I was being pulled under water by a hand grasping my ankle. I kicked at the water and flapped seriously hard trying to get away. Yet I couldn't. I heard shouting from above the water. I looked around me the water was dark but I could make out the figure of the boat bottom. I saw something hit the water next to the boat. I flapped like crazy. Then my wing hit something. I flapped more and gave one final kick this time I hit a head of someone with my foot. The hand realeased it grip and I rose to the surface gasping for air. "Miss come quickly. Has my son reached you yet." Just as he finished speaking Miguel popped up next too me. I tried to keep my wings from hitting him as we swam back to the boat he let me go up first. When I reached the top of the boat I helped Miguel up I looked down at where I had been pulled under. "Miss Amber are you alright?" I nodded even though I wasn't. My breathing was coming out in short uneven pants. A towel draped ove my shouldars. I looked at the sky and tried to locate Angel. No respose came back. I knelt there on my knees head lowered. "Miss Amber do you have family you can call." I looked up finally and shook my head. "I don't have family" I felt tears form in my eyes I rarely cried in my life. "Well what about friends someone?" I looked into the roundmans eyes. "Angel, and Zack are all I have!" I felt the tears spring to life when I heard the call. I stood up faster than any human could ever had. I shook my wings and water went flying. Protest came from Miguel and the round man with big blue eyes. "Angel!????" I shouted to the sky and a small figure appeared way up there. I flapped my pure black wings and tried to fly. The figure slowed and began to drop. I watched it realizing too late that it wasn't Angel but Zack. Zack stopped and front of me and wrapped my in his arms. I hugged him back for just the heck of it. "Amber why are you soaked? Ugh never mind have you seen Angel she has dissappeared off my radar?" I shook my head "Mine too! I tried to locate her but zip!!" I hugged Zack again and pulled back. Looking at him his brown hair was tossled and his blue eyes were filled with worry and love. "Can you fly?" I shook my head and he sighed. Folding in his wings he finally noticed the two men. "Um hi?" He said to them. I looked at them their jaws were dropped a little.The round man said something in a language I didn't understand. Miguel nodded and spoke "I am Miguel and this is my father Tomas" I nodded politle to tomas and spoke " Ya'll know me Amber but this here is Zack my bestie" Zack shook their hands and turned to me " Amber maybe we should go soon John is worried about you...and you can't fly darn it" I spread out my wings and looked at them. they were still dripping wet. I woudl have shook them out if Miguel hadn't suggested we ride with the to the main land which across the street was a bus stop. Zack decided we ride back with them. Him and Miguel got lost five minutes later talking about a new shooting game that had just been released. I smiled at them and went to the edge of the boat and sat down dangling my feet over the edge. I kept looking up at the sky, I remembered the littel seen that had played out. I had sot the red ball of energy at Angel then ran off because I was too scared that I had almost killed her. "Amber are you okay? Where are you? Come meet me?!" A voice sounded in my head and I shoot into a stand. I looked around and spread out my wings. I began to flap. I rose easily this time since my wings were dryer. I rose in the sky and looked around again. I wasn't to far up maybe 70 feet or so. "Amber come meet me in time square in New York." I shook my head Angel had never been fond of New York why pick it now? "Amby what are you doing?" Zack called to me from below. I looked down at him, his eyes filled with confusion. Down I went...no not falling flying....! He helped me once I reached the ground. By take my hand ever so lightly as my feet touched the ground. I spoke "Time Square....thats where Angel wants
