Chapter 2 The Rise

Many people walked by, they do so like always. They always laughed and walk happily. Somehow, their view were blurred, maybe by the snow. They would be wrapped around with their coats A stranger came by.He was wearing a big coat, a hat of a good gentlemen, and dress for professionals. He bent over. Asked the girl why was she there. She did not responded. She did not even looked up. He then asked if she would go home that he knew the way. She whispered to the stranger in her small cold vioce "Go away, I m hideous ." The man smiled, left his coat, slowly got up and left.

The next day, the man came to her again. This time he brought along a letter. This letter was special as it was written in red. He knelt down asked whether she wanted to follow him said that he knew the way home. She quivered at her little space. Still bent, she whispered in her small cold voice " Go away, I have done shameful things" The man smile dryly, left the post card, slowly got up and left.

The following morning, the man did not show up. As the went, crowds walked by. Going about the business. Some discussed the whether, some discussed work issues. There were some that saw the girl but ran away. Yet ,there were those who walked to her asked her questions and left.
At evening, The man walked to her. He brought a beg with him. He lowered the beg. Asked her the same question. Almost unheard, she said " Go away, I am a loser. I will never succeed " The man smile dryly, left the beg, slowly got up and left.

The third day, the man did not show up during the day, nor in the evening. The day passed by, people walked by about their stories and live. Some emphasize how they were and they work were their lives. At night, the man came. This time he brought a picture, in this picture, there words written at the back. The man stoop down asked the question. She said'' Go away, I don't belong anywhere please go home.

The fourth day, people had almost forgotten about the girl. She was now part of the scenery. At midnight, a dark figure came. The girl could sense the presence of this figure but could not see it. She knew this will be the end. As the dark figure walked towards her. She shivered even more. This figure suddenly move quickly and with much force dash towards her. Ready for death, she sat there calmly awaiting death. As the figure stopped, he spoke. That voice was familiar. It was that man. He came and this time sat in front of her. He leaned forward and touched her fore head. Suddenly, a great light entered her eyes. She sees the coat that was left for her belonged to her mother, she saw the beg laid in front of her, it contained files of her past accomplishments, she saw the picture and saw her friends. It wrote " Hope you love your life, we are waiting for you, supporting you, seeing you thru though we cant meet, do your best, live life the way you want it to be, we are counting on you !!" The last thing was the most queer item. It was a letter. As she opened the letter, She read " Paid in full, waiting to claim, repentance required". It was written in red. The man spoke " I know the way home will you follow me ?" " It is not easy but I will be your guide" He reach out his hand. She reached out slowly not knowing what will happen. When their hands touched. Warmness overflow her, her wings grew a new. She rose slowly as the stranger helped her. She felt often, but as she stood her ground. She spread her wings, joining hand she and he flew.
