Layla's P.O.V

I stood in the clearing by our house, the wind was blowing and the grass flowed with it. I caught the sound of rustling in the trees, looking up I saw a glimpse of black. I narrowed my eyes and crouched, I smirked, and leaped off the ground. "Owen!" I shouted flying to the tree. "Got ya!" I said pinning my brother to the trunk of the tree. He looked bewildered for a moment, and then we both laughed. This was our usual routine, I looked down went I heard my mom calling.

"Layla, Owen, lunch is ready!" She called.

"Race ya!" Owen challenged shooting out of the tree.

I flew after him, and then stopped. My wings stroked the air as I looked over the ocean, I saw dad. His 15 foot wings sliced the sky; he landed and tucked his wings in. He'd grown his hair long again; I swear he can't make his mind up whether to keep it short or long. Dad tilted his head, signaling for me to come inside. I nodded, and landed. My wings stretched out, the sun causing the black streaks to look purple. I followed my father and brother into our house, we were safe here. No one knew about it, no one knew about us. What we were. My gaze turned to the beach, the water crashing against the rocks. I looked up at the sky, and saw the rest of my family flying. All but one was in the air, I felt my heart clench as I looked at the grave sitting near the path down to the beach.

I walked over to it, and laid some fresh flowers down. Like I did every other week, I gazed at the letters on the wooden tomb stone. Ari. Uncle Ari had died when I turned nine, my mother told me it was because of his "expiration date" that the creatures like him had. He was an Eraser. One of our sworn enemies, but he was mom's brother, so he was part of our family. Till he died that is. I looked back at the house, through the window I saw everyone sitting at the table.

The last story was of my mother and father, and how they came to be. This stories, is of me and my brother. And how we came to be.
