we're not meant together

a love story between a human and a....whatever

The cold air was biting my cheeks, making them redder and redder. I had to stop breathing it, but I couldn't, I needed air. I had to run faster, there was no time to rest. They were coming, their huge army of brainwashed soldiers was chasing me. And he was among them.

I wish I wasn't like that. Just because of my powers, he had to hunt me down. I just want to be a human, like him. To age properly, to talk, to laugh and to love like humans; but no, I had to be a... I don't even know a what. A hybrid between a phoenix and a mermaid, resulting in a wonderful, yet hideous being. I was raised by a human, so why I'm not counted as one of them?

A faint boom broke the silence. I had two options: unleash my fire wings and flee, and never coming back, or I'd just keep running and eventually the dogs would catch up to me. I looked up at the blank sky, and let the wind pamper me once again. I'm not a human, so I cannot force him to be with me. I'm not an animal, so I can live a life.

I decided to look behind me, at the dark forest.

“Oh, come! Oh, come once again and protect me. Oh, rain, make my scent begone. Oh, moon, shine upon them to open their eyes. Oh, forest, hide me behind your leaves and oh, sky, protect him.”

Then the heart-breaking sound broke the silence again. That was the last thing I could do.
