~Chapter 1. Dream

__There Arya sat, on the ornate balcony of the penthouse suite, her suite. She sat dangerously close to the edg of the concrete railing, her legs hanging over the edg. But she didn't bother think of her own saftey. She was faceing the city, she looked from the glow of the city's lights to the moon, visible high in the dark sky, she wished she could see more stars in the sky, but the lights of the city took them from view.
__Arya was not dressed well for siting out side and up so high, she wore lace-up boots that came up to be just below her knees. She wore a jean mini skirt, and a dark blue backless sleveless shirt. Her briliant red hair -that was so vivid it looked almost blood red- swung free and reached mid way down her back.
__Arya removed her eyes from the sky to look below her feet, at the ground, 26 stories below, and smiled.
__Theres no one below... what harm could it do? thought Arya. she shifted and got to her feet. she kept inching her feet closer and closer to the edg, then she dove into the air, she fliped and twisted as she fell, she was losing space between herself and the hard concret sidewalk below.
__Arya stratened and her midnight wings streached out of her back, stoping her fallabout three stories away from the ground. She streched her wings as far as she could then climbed into the sky, she flew up about twenty stories higher than the top of her building, and then pulled her wings back into her back. She plumited much faster this time, but she had further to go this time. Arya focused on the ground rapidly getting closer. Then she brok through the surface of the ground, as if she were still falling through the air. She watched the layers of earth pass her by, then she reached a high ceilinged room, and she crashed into the ground, which cracked slightly from the contact. Arya hit the ground in a possion that looked as if she were going to propose.
__Pain shot through Arya's whole body, but mostly through her lower half. Arya looked down at her leg that was raised higest. The bone of the part of herleg that was vertical was protruding from her skin, and she could see her bones. Blood was driping from her wound onto the ground below her. Her other leg didn't have any bones pokeing out, but it felt like all of them were broken.
__"Arya." she looked up to see Alric standing infront of her, his eyes fixed on Arya's leg with the bones pokeing out. "Why do you do that?" Arya smiled, but hid her face from Alric by looking down at her leg.
__"It's no problem." replyed Arya, placing both hands under her leg with the bones pokeing out and pulled up to rejoin her bones. Arya held back a cry, from the pain that shot through her leg. The hole remaining closed "See?"
__"That doesn't change any thing." Now Arya could feel the bones in her other leg reasembeling themselves. "Becides, you didn't answer my question."
__"It's fun." Arya sheepishly smiled up at Alric, then she stood, Alric placed a hand on Arya's waist to help her balance when she swayed, "I'm fine. I'll heal."
__"Oh, i know yopu will... you thinkk it's 'fun'?! Do you have a death wish?! What if one of these dayys you pull this stunt and you don't heal?!"
__"I'll heal." replyed Arya, but she sounded a little doubtful.
__"What if you don't?" Alric sounded strange to Arya, usualy he was more upbeat "What if you end up dieing because you couldn't heal?"
__"Stop with all the 'what if's'. What if's usualy don't happen."
__"But-" protested Alric but Arya put pne finger on his lips to stop him.
__"Stop. I'm fine. I'm sorry I've worryed you, but you have to stop with this, your going to make yourself sick worrying yourself this way, and it would be all my fault." Said Arya.
__"Right. Sorry." Replyed Alric, he leaned in tward Arya and kissed her, "Love you."
__Arya smiled "Love you too."

__Arya jerked awake, "What was that?!" she screamed, and sat up. she cracked her head agenst one of her low hanging lamps "Ow!" cryed Arya. She settled down and lit a few of her lamps, which lit up her large cave-like room. "A dream? But it felt so... so real... and i thought a person couldn't get hurt in a dream..." Arya thought out loud "I knew his name...Alric." A wave of happiness washed through Arya at the sound of his name. "Stupid. Irashonal. It was just a dream. He doesn't exist." A sharp pain stabed Arya through her chest, making her hunch over "Why should that bother me so much?" Tears sprang into her eyes, and she was suddenly happy that she lived in her cave of a home by herself.
__Arya's stomach growled, and she rembered she had skiped dinner the day before, because she didnt feel well. "I need breakfst." Arya checked her watch "What?!" screached Arya staring at her digital wrist watch. It read 5:47pm. "I was asleep for almost 25 hours?!" Arya ran to her closet -which was really just another room with a bunch of shelves- and pulled on a pair of jeans, a purple t- shirt, and wege- healed shoes, but only becausethey were the first pare she saw. She left her hair down, then sprinted to th exit, she switched off an electrisity switch abd her whole place went black, before she opened the door she grabed one of her large backpacks, and opned the door.
__Arya locked the door behind her and then caushiously walked away. She would hidden the door but it was protected by the shadow created by the large bridg above head. Arya steped out into the light from the sun.
__She looked around and sprinted untill she was about a mile away and then she looked for the grocery store. She bought the eshenchels, then when she found that she had extra money she bought a package of five pre-made brownies. She loaded the food supply into her backpack.
__Arya practicaly ran home -she was too hungry- and she ran into a man, she almost knocked both herself and the man over.
__"Sorry." Said Arya looking up at the man, he grabed her arm "Hey!" The man smiled.
__"Found you."
