A FLUTTER OF WINGS ABOVE THE SKY (1)
Ever wonder why we don't have wings?
Millions of years ago, on the faithful day, when the leader of all "feathers" thought of "that" idea......
"Hush!" an angry voice rang through the empty corridors, "you're going to wake him up!"
A second a person began to yell too. "I know, I know, I know, I'm not that dumb ya know!"
Rosette sighed with despair. Talking to ter twin sister, Roseene, would just never work. She always had to make everything so hard. Every five minutes or so, Roseene would protest and mutter about how "grubby" the King's palace was.
"Ouch!" Roseene let out another shrill cry. "My foot! My poor little foot!" With that, Roseene started screeching and yowling even louder.
"THAT'S IT!" Every time, Rosette had to be the calm one. She had to be the wise one. She had to be the hard working one and SHE had to do EVERYTHING Roseene said, just because her mother liked Roseene better. This time she had definitely had enough!
"BE......QUITE!" Rosette yelled again.
But noooooooooooooooooooo, feather brain just would not stop yelling her head off.
"They're over here!" The loud pitter patter of feet could be heard in the distance.
"This is ALL your fault!" Roseete muttered under her breath as she dragged the yelling girl into the engulfing darkness.
Finally, to her relief, Roseene shut up. Thus the quiet girl poked her head out of their hiding place to glance at who knows what was going on. Her eyes widened in fear.
"Rosette......ROSETTE! GUARDS! COMING! NOW!" Roseene yelled and shuddered and shivered underneath her warm fur cloak.
All was not going too well.
