A leap of faith

In this chapter Alexandra finally takes that chance to achieve the world that she wants...but will it be that simple? read on...

As the moonlight broke the silence of the sun and the stars glimmered like diamonds in the sky, I started wondering what the land of light does at night. What do they do when we are just staring at our metaphorical day? As I stared into the sky, which was unusually lit up by the brilliant radiance of the moon, a hint of child like curiosity struck me.

Why couldn't I find out? I mean its not a crime, to enter the world of light without anyone knowing that I don't belong there...is it?

Just the way a mischievous young kid get's that...'there's no harm in doing this' look on its face, my heart managed to convince my mind that, there wasn't a huge difference between right and wrong in this case.

Isn't that what happens every time? Your mind and heart are forever at a quarrel...its as if you are at war with yourself. And as always my heart won...at least this was the case for me.

I stood up and at one go, in my head I ordered my wings to spread. My wings are a beauty, they are as white as pearls from an oyster, it was a contrasting effect to the dark blue dress that I wore and to the dark sky. For some reason everyone in the land of darkness, wore only colours of the night...as if the 'royal' blood had to wear dark colours and not stand out. My grand papa always said, "You need to merge in with the darkness, you need to become one with it and then, only will you realise the power that it can yield. Darkness is beautiful...but only a few can see it." 

I didn't think so.

I always felt like I was meant to stand out, but never did I go against his word.

My wings were much bigger that me...they spread out high up above my head, with feathers covering them from the top to the bottom. The softest part of the feathers lay beneath my wings close to my body. I don't have to do much, I just have to tell them to where I wish to go and they would listen. But today even they were hesitating, they did have a mind of their own, but they always chose to listen to me. Just a small push and they obeyed.

As I leaned onto the edge of the balcony where I stood...A small conscience asked me...whether this was right.

And with that I jumped...

"Darkness is beautiful but only a few can see it" that's a lovely saying... I enjoyed the concept and the structure of the story... Again a lovely description of the things which I loved the most, with a touch of nature it looks quite amazing...

Note: I would suggest you not to be afraid of using shorter sentences, it helps to keep the reader more interested in the story... And you should use bold or italic words for the sayings, it will look more catchy to the reader...
