jorden woke to loud banging on the door.  it was a warm summer night the breeze from the window ruffling the young boy's golden hair. the feathers on his almost black wings tucked behind his back. "father?" he called out. too scared to climb out of bed.no response.he slowly climbed out of his bed careful not to knock anything over that could make a sound. slowly he made his way to the door. and opened it a crack.nothing.relief swept the boy's body. carefully he walked down the hall to the front door where the banging continued. he opened the door wide enough to see the people waiting there.they were dressed in all red and there faces sent shivers down his spine. he cleared his thought and tried to sound as mature as a ten-year-old could "can I help you?" the tree men glared down at him "where is your father" "he is asleep" jorden stated "wake him!" the man in the back said rudely "why?" he was a curious child and he wanted answers. "NOW!you insolent child!" jorden was scared but he held his ground "you are not welcome here in the name of the angel Penemue I banish you from the grounds may you never re..." he was cut off as one of the men slapped him across the face.then all tree pushed past him. "clarity" he whispered thinking of his baby sister and father in the room down the hall "FATHER!!" he screamed but it was too late he heard the sounds of his father screaming at the men. "don't touch her!!!" he was yelling, "clarity" jorden said again he slowly got to his feet. and ran as fast as he could to his father's room. one of the men held a dagger to clarity neck "she is not a fairy, therefore, can not be here!" "then let me go cut off my wings take me to the human world don't hurt her!" the man holding clarity looked pleased. "what about your son?" his father frowned "he will stay here and get the best training so he can become a white wing" "f-father?" his voice cracked. he was going to leave? "very well," said the one holding clarity. "jorden go with these men they will take care of you" the men grabbed jordans arms "NO!NO! I WANT TO GO WITH HIM!!" he flapped his wings as hard as he could but to no use. "goodbye my son" and with that, the other man took his wings .Blood covered the floor.the boy screamed and flapped but was unable to get away from them. Even now 7 years later he stood here in front of this girl because of there orders on their terms and wants. Not his own.
