City by the Sea 2

Alexis

I smile. "It has definitely been hard adjusting and get over almost dying, but I am handling it pretty well." I say.

Elijah

I nod, sighing, "Yeah. Well, that's good. At least you're okay."

Alexis

I look at him, concerned. "What's wrong?" I ask. placing my hand on his.

Elijah

I look at her and flash a smile, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

Alexis

"Clearly! " I say sarcasticly.%I will not make you talk about it though, just concerned."

Elijah

I study her before smiling and looking back at the ocean, "I am. But thank you."

Alexis

I take my hand off of his and look at the ocean as well. "Do you have any plans today?" I ask.

Elijah

I shake my head, glancing at her, "No. You?"

Alexis

I shake my head. "No." I say. Then an idea sparks me. "We should learn how to fly."

He looks at me and tilts his head.

"Can you honestly tell me that you have never wanted to fly? Now is the opportunity. We got past the dying part, let's try not to hate it." I say smiling.

Elijah

Fly? I study her before sighing, "And how do you suppose we go about this?"

Alexis

"I do not know. It is a week day so the beach is dead. We go just try to learn here." I suggest. My head goes deep into thought. Today was not like last night. Maybe he was just trying to comfort me.

My thoughts are cut off when he speak. "You okay?" He asks

"Yea. Just thinking." I say.

Elijah

I study her again before looking at the water and sighing, "I don't know about the flying thing. I...I had a bad experience when I was younger. You can go ahead though. Spread your wings."

Alexis

I nod and close my eyes. My white wings come out. I look to him and he flashes a smile. I smile back. I start to flap my wings, but nothing is happening. "I do not understand how birds do this." I say. I try numerous times. I will get two feet off the ground, but then fall. I grunt and try again. I get someone high, but end up falling on the ground. I sit up in the sands and wipe my legs off. "I give up." I say looking to him.

Elijah

I cringe every time she falls, stopping myself from telling her to stop. She gives up and I sigh, nodding. My eyes run over her wings, finding them fascinating, before I look back at her face, "You'll get it eventually."

Alexis

I sigh and stand back up. My wings come back in and I look to him. "Oh well I have a car." I say
