his knuckle down my arm.
“Thanks.” I look over my shoulder at him and we make eye contact.
He sounds so cute when his fangs are long. I can tell they are just by how he talks. I’m amazed by how much I've already learned about him in such a short amount of time.
“Alright, you're all buckled up,” He says swiftly, like he can't wait to get away from me.
I turn to face him. “Shadow, thanks for all of this, it means a lot to me.”
He shies away from my sincere gratitude by looking down and shaking his head.
“It's nothing. I'm just glad to have someone to share it with. You don’t know how alone I was.” He reaches out hesitantly and grabs my hand. “Enough talk, let's fly.”
I let the change of subject slide, again. “Ready.”
We walk towards the edge of the waterfall hand in hand, each stealing glances at the other.
“That’s a pretty color on you; it makes your eyes look otherworldly. Even without the flying gear they're stunning though,” he adds hastily.
I blush. “Thanks.” I'm even gladder that I picked the blue.
It must be time to get serious, because his whole demeanor changes when we reach the edge of the waterfall. “Alright, so when you jump, you want to jump out like you are going to land on your stomach. Don’t look down, look out ahead of you. I will go before you, and try to stay as close to you as I can. When you are as level as you can be, I will release your wings. When I do that, I want you to grab me like you want to hug, and hold on. When we're holding onto each other, I’ll roll and fly us to the ground. After we land, I will show you how to use your wings and we will take off from the ground. It’s safer.”
“Ah, for some reason I thought we could try it from the ground first.” I say shakily. He gives me a compassionate look and puts his hand on my shoulder.
“For some reason, your wings will only release on your first time if you're falling.” He looks me in the eyes and squeezed my shoulders with affection. “Don't worry, Alexia. I won’t let anything happen to you, I promise.”
My lips are shaking with nerves but I give a shaky smile in thanks to his promise. He is so likable. Whoever he gets mated to him is so lucky. But I won't think about that right now.
He unfurls his strong, unusually-striking wings in one elegant stretch, and in the blink of an eye, his feet are off the ground and he's gliding out in front of me. I just can't help being distracted by how perfect he looks suspended in midair. His wings are huge, easily stretching four feet long on each side. They're so strong, flapping slow strokes to keep him in one place. I give myself a shake to focus and snap out of it.
“Alright, count to three for me; it's kind of my thing.”
“Okay, just don't look down, focus and jump out towards me. Ready?”
I nod. No!
“One.” He pauses. “Two...Three!”
And I jump. As soon as my feet have left the ground, and look down and see how far up we really are. I shouldn't have looked down, just like he said, but it's just second nature. Don't panic. I immediately panic and turn to try and grasp anything I can, which turns out to be nothing but air. Okay, time to panic. My heart's probably going to give out right now. It's beating so fast it's almost one continuous pump. I’m falling so fast, my eyes are watering and my hair is in my face. My cheeks are flapping and my lips are pulled away from my teeth, and for one hilarious moment, I can’t help but think how funny I look and hope he doesn’t see. Somehow though, I bring myself to focus and get as straight as I can. My arms are flailing, and I’m doing spins and rolls uncontrollably. This is extremely bad. Just as I'm about to close my eyes and grit my teeth in acceptance of an impending crash, I feel strong hands grab onto my waist.
“Straighten out so I can release your wings!” he yells over the wind.
I struggle against my impulse to curl into a ball and force myself to be as
