The dark highway stretched out before us. The night sky graced us with millions of twinkling stars.
Somewhere out there in a distant realm lay our new home just waiting for us to discover it. We would leave earth behind.
I smiled over at Johnny. He squeezed my hand as if to assure me he was ok with our decision.
Once my wings developed it became harder hiding my secret and controlling my powers.
It was just so painful knowing we would never see our mothers again. We would be erased from their memories.
They'd never feel any pain but we would.
I had one secret yet to share with Johnny, one I dreaded.
As a fae I can pass through the portal world but he's human. He must die and be re-born as a fae.
This has to work. I won't give him up. This can't all have been for nothing.
