Fallen (fallencatalyst) Cliffs carved by the ocean


message 2: by Evelyn (new)

Evelyn (FallenAngelWithAShotgun) | 39 comments Arizona zoomed through the air above the waves, her heart pounding in her chest. She leveled off at the top of the cliff, and landed softly on a thin patch of grass. She brushed the dirt from her clothes, her face set in a small scowl, and strode confidently away from the edge of the drop.


message 3: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Kaira stood close to the edge of the cliff, her wings folded behind her. She sighed softly. Kaira didn't hear anybody around her so she felt somewhat safe.


message 4: by Evelyn (new)

Evelyn (FallenAngelWithAShotgun) | 39 comments Arizona continued to walk parallel to the edge, and extended her right wing slightly. She ran one of her hands along its plumage, examining it for any imperfections or injuries. Though usually reckless, she took much pride in her light-brown wings, and always took care to make them look as magnificent as possible. She then snapped her wing into a folded position behind her, taking satisfaction in the soft "whup" sound it emitted.


message 5: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Kaira heard the small sound and spun around to see what it came from. Her eyes were wide and she was breathing shakily. Even a small sound could scare her easily.

((Just so you know she is really shy and has
social anxiety...)


message 6: by Evelyn (new)

Evelyn (FallenAngelWithAShotgun) | 39 comments ((Thanks for the explanation! Ari's pretty hard to like, but she's more sensitive to that kind of thing than she seems.))

Arizona stopped in her tracks, hearing labored breathing coming from a ways in front of her. She tilted her head, confused, and broke into a light jog.


message 7: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Kaira couldn't see who or what made the noise. She took a shaky breath and tried to calm herself down. 'You must be hearing things..' She thought to herself.


message 8: by Evelyn (new)

Evelyn (FallenAngelWithAShotgun) | 39 comments Arizona jogged faster, and what looked like like an older teen came into view. She slowed down until she was simply walking briskly toward the person, ready to take flight should there be any danger.


message 9: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Kaira wrapped her arms around herself, calming down. She stayed standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the water below.


message 10: by Evelyn (new)

Evelyn (FallenAngelWithAShotgun) | 39 comments Arizona stopped walking when she was about five yards from the girl, and tilted her head. She had seemed to notice her yet, so she didn't really know what to do at this point. After a moment's thought, she slipped a hand under her vest, so that her sword was out of sight yet still within reach. She was young, but she still knew that precautions should always be taken when approaching a stranger. She waited silently for the girl to notice her.


message 11: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Kaira glanced around, feeling someone there. She saw the other girl and jumped, a small squeak escaping her lips. Kaira hugged herself together, trying to keep herself calm.


message 12: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) ((Delete the 'together' my phone glitched..)


message 13: by Evelyn (new)

Evelyn (FallenAngelWithAShotgun) | 39 comments ((Note taken! :) ))

Arizona watched the girl's movements without a sound, but did not remove her hand from its position around her sword. Her childlike voice betrayed only a hint of a tremor as she spoke with as much force and bravado as she could muster.

"Who are you?"


message 14: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Kaira bit her lower lip and took a shaky breath before answering. "I-I'm a Falcon." She said softly, her voice trembling. She wasn't really used to people talking to her, especially strangers.


message 15: by Evelyn (new)

Evelyn (FallenAngelWithAShotgun) | 39 comments Arizona raised an eyebrow, but nodded as she noticed the beautiful wings folded behind the girl's shoulder blades. She paused for a second to collect her thoughts. Her parents were the only Falcons she knew, but if this lady was one, perhaps there was a Falcon civilization nearby. She might've been eleven, but she could make assumptions. Finally, she spoke once more.

"Me too," she told the girl. "You have a name?" Her voice cracked slightly, but she decided that if she ignored it, the other girl probably would, too.


message 16: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Kaira nodded. "Yes, I- I have a name." Her voice was still shaky. She watched the other girl cautiously.


message 17: by Evelyn (new)

Evelyn (FallenAngelWithAShotgun) | 39 comments Arizona frowned. "Well, could you tell it to me?" she questioned impatiently. "I'm Leslie," she added as an afterthought, lying about her name due to the fact that the girl could have some relation to her parents. Undoubtedly, they were still searching for her. She mentally kicked herself; she had proclaimed the false name far too quickly, and even she could hear the panic that was in her voice.


message 18: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Kaira noticed the seemed nervousness in the girls voice but didn't mention it. "I- I'm Kaira." She said softly. Kaira kept her arms around herself. She wished that her brother was there, he was much better with people than she was.


message 19: by Evelyn (new)

Evelyn (FallenAngelWithAShotgun) | 39 comments Arizona gave herself a minute to think. This girl hadn't recognized her, which meant that she most likely had no affiliation with her parents. However, she didn't want to jump to conclusions. She also didn't want to bombard this Kaira with questions, as she appeared nervous enough as it was. She settled for just one more, and spoke in a slightly softer tone.

"Where do you hail from?" she asked quietly, knowing that it had to be somewhere nearby.


message 20: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) "a village or city or whatever you want to call it made up of only Falcons.." Kaira quietly explained. She looked down at the ground as she spoke.


message 21: by Evelyn (new)

Evelyn (FallenAngelWithAShotgun) | 39 comments Arizona nodded slowly. "Is it nearby?" she inquired in what she hoped was a casual-sounding tone. If it was, perhaps could stay there for a week or two.


message 22: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Kaira nodded. "Yeah, it- it's not too far from here." She told the girl. Kaira seemed slightly calmer now, but not much.


message 23: by Evelyn (new)

Evelyn (FallenAngelWithAShotgun) | 39 comments Arizona looked at the ground once more. Her bravado was gone, but at least she'd gotten the information she needed. Just one last question, she told herself silently. She looked up at Kaira one final time. "Could you please take me there?"


message 24: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) "Yeah, sure." Kaira's voice quivered. She looked at the girl.
