Chapter 2

so, another chapter within 24 hours, damn im really cranking it out there today

Molento slowly became aware of an argument as he regained consciousness. “We must kill him,” David’s voice said, “He is a demon.”

“No, father, don’t,” Eliena said, “He can’t be a demon.”

“But he has wings and pointed ears, and those eyes, they make me shudder.”

“So what, just because he has wings and pointed ears doesn’t mean that he is a demon, there has to be another explanation.”

“No, I am going to kill him.”

Molento heard footsteps, slow and deliberate, come up to the bed that he was in. then, he heard light, fast ones and felt someone stand over him.

“No father, I am not going to let you kill him,” Eliena’s voice said, right above Molento, “he says that I have potential and I want to learn more about this.”

“Fine, daughter, I won’t kill him…”

“Oh thank yo-“

“Until he wakes up and explains himself.”

“But father!”

“No buts, now since you’re so intent on keeping him alive, you will stay here while I go to the tavern and have a drink.”

And with that, Molento faded to black again.

When Molento next awakened, he saw Eliena sitting on a stool next to the bed he was in. He realized that he had no shirt on, and his wings were spread out, dangling off the bed. That was the reason that they had been fighting, he sensed, most people have little experience with my kind. Molento turned his head to get a better look at the hut then he had had when he first walked in. It was a simple one room hut, with three beds in one corner, a kitchen area in another and a table in the center of the room.

At the sound of his head scraping against the bed, Eliena looked around for the source and noticed that Molento was awake. "Quick, we don't have much time," she said, "My father will be back soon, and he-"

"Wants to kill me, yes I heard when I regained semiconciousness earlier," Molento finished, "What are we going to do about it?"

"We are going to run away," Eliena replied, "I've already packed essentials, but I could not find any spare food and water for us, so we will have to hunt for food, oh, and here is your tunic," she said, hefting a bag onto her shoulder and handing him his tunic.

"Thanks for the help," Molento replied, "but why are you coming with me?"

"I want to know more about this power you said that I have, and i also don't want to stay in this tiny village for my entire life and this may be my one chance to leave."

"Fair enough, to be honest, I really want you to come, because you are interesting and I too want to know more about your power, so let's go. Oh, by the way, how are we going to get out of here?"

"Oh, um, I hadn't thought of  that. I know of a trail that will take as away from here."

"But what about horses, we won't get very far on foot," Molento mused. But maybe we don't need horses, I don't know how strong these wings of mine are, but I think that they are strong enough to carry us both for awhile. "Ok, I know how we are going to get out of here, lets step outside."

"But why, if we have no way of getting away fast?"

"You'll see."

They went outside, Molento folding up his wings to pass through the door. The sun was shining down on them, it looked about mid afternoon, "how long was I asleep," Molento asked.

“Not for very long, less than a day."

"Oh, ok, hold on tight," Molento said, stepping closer.

"But wh..."

Molento grabbed her and jumped into the air, unfurling his wings as he did so. With three powerful strokes of his wings, they were fifty feet off the ground, and soaring away over the trees.

"Ah, that's why," Eliena said in a small voice.

As they flew away, Molento heard David's voice scream after them, "Come back here with my daughter you filthy demon!"

Author's Note

tell me what you think of this, this is my first time writing and I want to know how to get better
there will probably be more later on if I get good reviews/ feedback
p.s the first chapter was done in microsoft word, then pasted in, and so is some of this, however, half way through I realized that that is a very inefficient way of doing it, so I switched over to writing it all in the website, so more spelling errors will appear
