Chapter 2 - The future can be interesting.

I stopped briefly on the ground to search and began to think. What does my brother look like?

I had no real answer to this. What did he sound like? No clue. I highly doubted that he would sound

and talk the same way he did when he was four. The only true thing I knew about him was that he too

had a set of wings. Well, if you actually think about it, how many people have wings? Very few, if any

at all. He also might look somewhat like me, since we are related. I tried my best to come up with a

description of myself, but didn't put much into it, or get much out of it. I sat down against the back of

a building and rubbed my eyes. What now? Eleven years have passed without a sign of any kind

that he was even still alive. What was I saying, I knew he was. Was he looking for me too? Was he

back at home? I got a headache from all this.

"Trent, where are you?" I called out to the sky. I got an answer.

"Please help me brother.." I could hear a distant yet familiar voice coming from no where in

particular.

"Trent?" I stood up looking in every direction trying to find him.

"Help.." the voice echoed. I flew into the air.

"Where are you?" I yelled as loud as I could into the pitch black that surrounded me.

"Their coming..please help.."

"Where are you Trent?" I called out again.

"You told me that you would always be there.." The voice inside my head trembled.

"Trent, give me a sign of some kind or something." I said, continuing to circle around.

"You said you always would be, but you're not. You lied to me, your own brother. How could you? I

trusted you, but your not here. So, where are you now, traitor?" I stopped where I was, having a

good feeling about the way I was facing, and started off.

"Coming to get you." I answered in a low whisper to the sky, and my brother.

"I can't wait." The voice said, ending its conversation with me.

"Neither can I." I replied, and flew a straight course into the pitch black night sky. How long I flew

for, I do not know. At least three days worth I would say, stopping when needed. I flew on still without

a clue to where Trent exactally was. The sun began to appear over the horizion so I stopped to rest.

Not knowing that I would meet someone who would help me, become a friend, and eventually end up

saving me life. Landing on an apartment building I laid down looking at the stars until I fell asleep. I

awoke as the sun was setting. Still half asleep I stood up and yawned, completely unaware of the

person standing a few feet in front of me.

"That was some yawn." I opened my eyes startled and jumped back. Wide awake now, I turned

around to leave, but figured that I yould only leave as a last resort.

"How did you know that I was up here?" I asked plainly.

"I saw you up in the sky and followed you. Please don't take offence or anything." He said quietly,

also I noticed that he looked to be somewhere around my age. I sat down on the building's ledge

and thought about this awhile.

"Why were you following me?"

"Curiosity, I suppose. It isn't everyday that you see a flying person." He said in that same tone, as

if he expected me to leave. He looked up from the ground at me.

"I don't want to critisize you or anything." Trailing off, he looked back at the ground. I took my

attention off of the setting sun and looked at him.

"How old are you?"

"Sixteen."

"What's your name?"

"Sommy Tompston, what's yours?" From there we went on to have a long conversation about our

pasts, lives, and just about every other topic we could think of. It was the longest conversation I have

ever been a part of and the most interesting. We ended up talking for hours and hours. The moon

was already up before either of us realized how long we had been talking.

"I have to get going, or who knows what my mother might think. It was nice talking with you," he

said standing up.

"Also, thanks for hanging out with me when you knew that you didn't have to." This brought back

memories to me.

"No problem," I said and stood up on the ledge. Spreading out my wings, I looked over my

shoulder at Sommy. He handed my sunglasses to me.

"Are you coming back?"

"Yup, in the meantime, take care of yourself. By the way, have you seen any shady-looking people

in these parts?"

"I did see two guys in trenchcoats a couple of weeks ago. They were acting really wierd, walking

around looking in every direction like they were being watched. My curiosity got the better of me and

I followed them to the boat dock, but they left."

"I'll look into that. Thanks."

"Hey, be sure to bring your brother back here sometime. I'd like to meet him." Sommy handed me

his address on a piece of paper.
