Fan Fiction ❯ Darks' Light ❯ Chapter 1

I'm running, running, I can't stop. If I stop they'll catch me. I don't want to be caught. If I'm caught, they'll probably kill me. I don't know why I'm different, I just am.

"Hey over there, there he is. Let get him!"

Oh no, I've been spotted. Gotta get away. I cant think of where to go, no where else to run.

"Hey… what the? What's happening?"

All of the sudden I am air born. I look up to see why and I see a boy, or is it? I'm so exhausted I can feel myself starting to pass out. I look up and see large concerned hazel eyes just watching me as a go.

When I open my eyes I find myself in a large comfortable room. I was laying on a large pillow/pallet, in the center of the room.

"Ok Gabe, what have you gotten yourself into this time," I asked out loud.

"I would say I got you out of a lot of trouble," said a voice from behind.

I turned around to see a guy sitting on a pillow against the wall. He had shoulder length auburn hair with eyes that were a green brown mix.

"If you're done looking me over, do you mind if I ask you what you were doing on my land, Night Flyer?"

" I was just passing through. I didn't mean any harm. Why did you save me? What do you want?"

" I saved you because you needed it. As far as I can tell you have done nothing wrong in my land, but you were hunted. As for what I want, for now I would like to get to know you, but in order to do this you must become my servant."

"Why do I not like the sound of this? Why should I sever someone I don't know?"

"Forgive me, I should have introduced myself. I am Regalith Marco Leapald, ruler of this land known as LeGala. At your service. Now may I ask your name?"

"I'm called Gabriel, but as you heard I go by Gabe."

"Ahh, so you were talking to yourself. Here I thought you were talking to some mystical being."

"Nope just thinking out loud."
" And why were you doing this?"

"Just to have someone to talk to. It helps to keep me from getting lonely."

"Why would you be lonely? What of the others of your kind?"
"As far as I know I am the last one. The others were hunted down and killed because of the fear caused be how we look."

"I see how your looks could cause fear, with those large green wings coming out of your back."

"That is no reason to kill babies. I was but four when I watched my mother die. The only reason I survived was because I could fly away.

Mother, Mother, why you tying mother up? What is with the flames?

Gabriel!!!! Run, run while you can, don't let them get you?

Should we tie the young one up?

No. He is to young to be of any harm to us. We will kill him next.

Mother I can't leave you. Let me go, I want to go to my mom. NO I wont let you, you wont kill me, I will not let my clan die. NONONONONONONONON!!!!!!!

"So your wings are no just for looks alone. What other powers do you have?"

I am getting tired of answering question with out getting answers to any of my own. Just as I am about to yell this at the young lord when we are interrupted.

"My lord, the healer is here. Should I send her in?'

"Yes, thank you Rashime. Send her right in."
"What healer? I don't need a healer. I don't want anyone near me. I am fine really."

"Rashime, send her in. If you are so well why did you pass out?"

Be for I can answer the door is opened once more. This time a body enters. She is short no taller than I, and since I am around 18 summers old she is maybe 5 feet tall. She has long pale hair about mid back level, but it is shorter than mine. She walks tall with pride and confidence in her steps. "Your majesty, how can I help you? You seem to be in good health."
"Thank you Ala. I am well. I would like you to have a look at my new personal servant, Gabriel."

"Oh…My lord, I don't know if you realized this, but he seems to be a Night Flyer."
