Black Wings Near Me Novels & Stories

That's the logical decision. I know it, and yet... A flock of blackbirds descends from the heavens, flapping overhead as their strong raven-colored wings beat in perfect synchrony. They flutter into a twisted pine just in front of the van. One hops around on a low branch, calling out continuously with its melodic song. Its coal black eyes hone in on me just before it soars off into the sky. "Right," I say shakily, glancing at Jack. "Let's go."

“We need a…” A heavy buzzing noise fills the air, cutting Tumak off. We all raise our heads to the skies and see humans, or at least, what I think are humans, with wings like those of dragonflies strapped to their lower backs. Sparks and colours surround their wings and hair, but two women stand out from the group. Their colours remind me of a rainbow.

“I came by to see how everything was going with you. How’s school?” Shrugging my shoulders, I maintain a cool facade. I don’t want him to see me sweat. “It’s fine. Everything is fine.” I reply airily. However, inside, I’m quaking. Believe it or not, I’m not scared of Lukan. I’m just worried about what he might do to Alex and my brothers. Lukan tilts his head to the side, trying to glean the truth of my words. “I’m also here because a human reported seeing a man with black wings flying around the north side of town the other night. You wouldn’t happen to know something about it, would you?”

Grief stricken that I have to go. Braxton puts his arm around me and holds me close, his face in my hair. He holds me like that for a long moment, breathing me in as I inhale the scents of the garden around us. A butterfly whispers by on a breeze, it’s blue and black wings catching the sunlight and giving it a twinkle. A few more in various sizes and colors follow. To be that free, like the butterflies or the birds, to take off and fly wherever I want… any time I want… wouldn’t that be heavenly?

** Aria drove all the way to the island where the bar is located. The bar happens to be a normal zone where people go out with friends to drink during the day but at night_it's a different ball game. Housing all the night crawler in Lagos who like to party from dusk till dawn. Aria had to park at the far end of the parking space due to how crazily parked the place was. She looked herself over in the rearview mirror, making sure her makeup was still in tact before she got down and adjusted her gown a bit before walking towards the entrance.

I stared at the ceiling, at the faint cracks in the wood, at the window where light peeked in. Then, movement outside caught my eye. Crows. Dozens of them. Flying from the east, black wings beating violently against the pale sky, their cries loud and harsh like warnings. A shiver ran down my spine. Something was coming. Something bad

When the doctor walked out of the room and passed the glass windows on the hallway, only then was Jay able to see the red wings attached to the doctor's back that didn't show up physically. A celestial being with a pair of red wings. As far as Jay could remember, only two types of wings colors he had ever seen in the Kingdom. White wings symbolized an Angel in its purest form, while black wings symbolize an Angel fallen from their grace. Jay had never seen any celestial beings with red wings before. More importantly, why a celestial being showed interest in a mortal man? Jay let the time flow once again. He looked outside the window, thinking about the doctor and why he was interested in Lia

I pulled the sweater I had on closer to me as the wind picked up speed, dead leaves that couldn't hold on any longer fell from trees, dead and dried out branches fell off as well, and some dried leaves on the ground got carried by the wind. The whooshing sound of the wind as it howls through trees echoed in my heart as a cold reminder of what was lost. The night grew colder and the creeping sounds of crickets could be heard, the flapping of wings from the night birds as they flew from tree to tree looking for something to feed on. I could hear the sounds of wolves howling from a distance and I knew it had to be from Brookside because it was the closest Pack to where I was. Was Lykos already

“You already knew that didnt you?” “I never had confirmation, but the resemblance was undeniable. But the thing that really confirmed it for me was seeing you black wings. Only demons have black wings. Angels have white wings. I was curious what color yours would be. Mine were black, I assumed it was because I had chosen sides immediately but I wasn't sure about you. I thought maybe they would be some shade of gray.” He answered honestly.

The heavens opened up just as Mother White’s heliobird reached the outer boundaries of their front line. She could see the transport vehicles coming up the roads to the far east and west of her current location, but with nothing but forest beneath them, the pilot reminded her she would not be able to touch down here. “With these winds, I think we should turn back,” the woman, Mother Robin, said through the headset.
