So here's some backstory: I started writing this book five years and it was only at the start of this year where I began rewriting the whole thing all over again, because...let's just say... I'm not too proud of the things I wrote when I was twelve. No one is?ย So yeah, I'm not including that much in this post because I'm still working out the plot.ย
Please ignore any grammatical mistakes or confusing parts. This is only the second(?) draft and Iโm suffering from EXTREME writerโs block these days. And did I mention I wrote most of this on a plane. . .ย
Oh and one more thing!!!: This part is centered around one of the main characters, Argent, and the "bird" is a shape-shifting angel, whom I haven't given a name, but they are often referred to as the Angel of Life and Death.
Anyway I'll stop yapping now and get on with it.ย
It was the sort of room where the sunlight, when it came, broke into shards in the long panels of the windows, muted white from the lace that hung from the curtains. Regularly, they were inhaling the breeze gently and letting it go.
That morning, there came a bird at the window.
It was cold outside; too cold for a delicate bird to be wandering amongst the fog. And it was early; not even the most passionate of birds would be serenading at that hour. But nowโฆ what was it? It was flying at the very leastโ or somehow suspended near the balcony, seemingly interested to enter the room. It was so close now; either unafraid or unaware. Whatever it wanted, it possibly would not have been here.
He was aware of the breeze slowly dying away, but the lingering sense of anticipation was still there.
If he were able to sense, a painful minute had passed and he had not moved his eyes from the balcony window.
The curtains took in a long, shivering breath.ย There was the sound of clawed feet against the railing. A hazy silhouette, that, at first glance, looked too thin and uncanny. It stood there, still.
Then something pierced through the curtains into the room. A neck, nearly a metre long, like an ivory spear. At the end was a head set with deep silvery eyes and a curving beak. Slowly the tip of its wing appeared behind the curtains, spreading against the windows, long downy feathers of the same silver tint that seemed to grow longer and larger, until it surrounded the windows entirely. Now the second wing began to cut through. Even in the dark, its eyes were unmistakably set on him.
The silence hung all around, heavier than it had ever been.
But he was certain it wasn't a dream. No dream could ever be thisโ
The bird puffed out its chest and raised its wings higher. At blinding speed, it lunged at him. For a moment, it was as if it had suffocated him, its feathers curling tighter, the same harsh white, until all that was all that he could see and feel, ย all over the sheets, all over the room, over and over again.
He opened his eyes and sat up.
The curtains had just stopped quivering, now flown apart, letting in the harshness of the cold. The only sound that broke the silence was the flapping of distant wings.
The sun had not risen yet.
