Writing Resources from Fifteen Minutes of Fiction

the black feather

I was sitting in a bank made of Wood, I wind was really cold and it was blowing really strong. I wasn’t in hell anymore; I was waiting for the family that will take care of me in the edge of the earth. I’ve been there for 15 minutes and haven’t arrived, I close my eyes and I lay in the bank. I wanted to return with the council, why I need to live in earth when my home was hell? I wasn’t taking any of my things, the council told me that they already have everything that I needed and if something was missing they will buy it for me.

I wasn’t really convinced about what was happening, but I couldn’t say anything, just stay in silence again. One member of the council was beside me waiting for their arrival; his face was serious like always, after some time a sound was hear. Then we saw black horses getting through the mist, stopping just in front of us. The horses were pulling a big and black chariot. From it a lady came out with her husband. She was beautiful, her hair black and long, her eyes blue and her figure perfect, her husband was really handsome also, he was tall and athletic, with black hair and black eyes.

In the moment they arrived I sat down correctly, they turn to look at me with a big smile, while my face reflected no emotion. They turn to look the man that was next to me, but then they turn their gaze again into me, I didn’t like the way they were looking at me; this was really weird for me. What was this feeling I was feeling? I was nervous and uncomfortable.

“You’re late” The man said

“We are sorry, we barely see in this mist, but we arrive. By the way my name is Draney” the lady said

“My name is Lothian” The man said.

“Her name is Iris, she’s really important for the fallen angels so I hope you will know how to treat her”

“We sure know, Iris why don’t you get into the chariot”

I feel like I moron every time someone talks to me that way, but what else could I do. I stand up and I get into the chariot. I was using a short black dress, it didn’t cover my knees. They both enter then, I turn myself and I looked at the window, they turn to look at each other with my signal of rejection.

I could imagine how they feel with my presence, I looked like an emotionless girl, but I wasn’t like that, it’s just that my feeling were frozen with my heart in the moment I became alone. I turn to look at them, my gaze was as cold as eyes, I didn’t smile at all.

“Well… I hope we can have a good relationship… and I’m sure you will be friend of my son Christoff”

I just stare at them, so they have a son, and as the council told me he was of my age, that was good, maybe I could became her friend, but I didn’t know, everyone always reject me, but I hope this time to be different.

After 1 hour we finally arrive to the mansion, I get down of the chariot and I looked at all the mansion, it was huge, and the gardens really colorful, but the sky was completely gray. I enter to the mansion hoping to see everything full of color, but everything was grey, black, dark blue and red.

“Your room is in the fifth floor, the first one”

I just turn to look at Lothian and then I start walking to the fifth room, the stairs makes me get exhausted, but finally I arrive to it. I enter and I look at everything, my room was completely black.

The bed was in the center of the room on a sort of dais, covered by curtains. On one side stood a huge room with a table at its center and a bookcase on the wall, also had a desk there.

On the other hand, were a Jacuzzi and a fireplace with sofas in front of her. In the back was the bathroom and dressing room. The bathroom was gray, a giant tub was the at the end, the walls were marble. There was also a sink with a mirror in front of him.

The dressing was great, had all kinds of clothes in it for me, clothes, shoes, jewelry, everything.

I went out of the room and I start walking to the gardens, I wanted to spend some time with the plants, with the nature. As I was walking I accidentally hit myself with someone, I gave a step back as fast as I could looking at that person. It was a guy, his hair was black and more or less long, it didn’t cover her neck but was a little long. His eyes where completely blue, his skin pale and his body perfect. I turn to look at his face, it was so beautiful.

“Hey watch out where you are walking servant”

Wait, how did he call me? Servant? I wasn’t going to stay in silence with this offence, but I didn’t want to talk, it’s been 2 months since I said my last word. But there’s always a first time.

“Excuse me? I’m not your servant; I just came here to live”

“So you are that new girl, Iris, well I just want you to know that I don’t want you to be here, but my parents force me to accept, so stay away from me, oh and my name is Christoff so don’t forget it.”

What the… who he thought he was?! I won’t let he treat me like this, but by this time I won’t say anything, I will just ignore him, and let’s see how this continue. He continues walking without saying a thing, I just look at him and I continue walking to the gardens. He will understand the big mistake he did by treating me that way. What I friend he was, he was no one for me now.
