Flying High: Preface

Preface

I waited for him as always, sitting under the cherry tree, it was our usual place and time but he haven't showed up. But I was used to that. I sat back and relaxed, remembering the day I first met him...

I was six, at the time , playing tea parties, by myself,on a chilly afternoon under the same cherry tree in the 5th field, pouring out the tea:
" would you like some sugar with that mr cuddles?" I said politely.
"yes I would" I said pretending to be mr cuddles
"How many wou...." I cut off suddenly as i heard a large thump a couple of meters behind me.
Slowly turning around, I saw a boy clutching a bloody shoulder. Rushing to his side I blurted out
"don't worry I'll get my mum to call an ambulance."
"please no" he groaned
"I'll at least let me get some bandages"
I ran towards the house and brought them out.

"what's your name" I said gently wrapping his shoulder up.
"Luke" he winced "whats yours?"
"grace" I whispered " how did you come down from the sky?"
"I ll tell you but you have to keep it a secret" Luke told me.
"I promise"

And then he suddenly grew wings and shot up into the sky...
