Carmen always knew she was different. I mean come on. Having wings wasn't normal. As she grew up, she had one rule in mind at all times: her wings were to be hidden from everyone but her foster parents. But when she meets a kind and goofy YouTuber...
It's the day that I'm supposed to leave for Texas and I am honestly terrified. I call Nick.
"Nick I'll see you in seven hours!!!" I say extremely excited.
"Do you want me to pick you up?!" He asks. I struggle to put on my jacket. The phone is being held precariously between my right ear and shoulder.
"Uh yeah sure." I finally get my jacket on a walk out to hail a taxi. "Can't wait to see you!! Bye I gotta hang up now."
"Okay see you soon! Bye." Nick ends the call and I sit in the back seat of the taxi, extremely nervous for my long flight.
When I reach the airport it's time for airport security. I hate airport security. Watch them take forever. Like always.
I approach the man standing by the metal scanner. He gives me a look. Fuck.
"Señora, quítese todas sus cosas de metal.(Ma'am please take off all your metal things.)" He tells me and I sigh. I take off my ten bangle bracelets, belt, phone, earrings and jacket. I hate doing this like sir, this is like fucking sTriPpIng.
"¡¿Puedo pasar ahora?! (Can I go through now?!)" I ask irritated. He rolls his eyes and waves me through. I glare at him and walk through. As soon as he makes sure I don't have a gun on me, I snatch up my stuff.
"Señora, debe dejar sus cosas allí mientras yo la cacheo en busca de armas. (Ma'am you need to keep your stuff there while I pat you down for weapons.)" He says politely. I literally feel steam coming out of my ears.
"¡Llevo años viniendo a este aeropuerto! ¡POR QUÉ MIERDA NECESITARÍA UNA PISTOLA AHORA Y GUSTA QUIEN DIOS TRAE UNA PISTOLA EN UN AVIÓN PORQUE ENTONCES ESTARÍAN MUERTOS, IDIOTA! (I've been coming to this airport for years! WHY THE FUCK WOULD I NEED A GUN NOW AND LIKE WHO THE HELL BRINGS A GUN ON A PLANE BECAUSE THEN THEY WOULD BE DEAD, YOU IDIOT!)" I yell infuriated. The man backs away and I rush to the airport. When I reach the airplane boarding place, the the woman tells me that the plane won't be coming today because it had been broken.
I groan and was about to exit when I spot another plane. Glancing around me to make sure to make sure that no one saw me, I ran down the hallway to the broken plane and through it to the other plane. The man working on it looks over at me and frowns.
"No eres la persona que pedí ... (You're not the person I asked for...)" He says confused. I shrug.
"Me vas a volar a Texas. No puedes decir que no. (You're flying me to Texas. You cannot say no.)" I tell him crossing my arms. He stares at me.
"¿Por qué? (Why?)"
"No preguntes. Simplemente hazlo. (Don't ask. Just do it.)" I tell him angrily. He sighs. I guess he deals with a lot of crazy Spanish ladies. Or just crazy people in general. He gestures for me to board the plane. And I settle in for the seven hour trip to Texas. I swear sometimes I act like a Karen. (No offence to those peeps with birth names of Karen but who don't act like Karens).

A few hours into the flight I feel extreme turbulence. I don't say anything except curl up and wish for it to be over. I question over doing a vlog but decide against it. As we hit an extreme bit of turbulence, I feel like my soul was being tugged from my body and I feel myself tumbling through the air. Instinctively I let my wings, which for some reason weren't camouflaged, snap out and glide down to the... forest floor?!
"Who are you?!" A trembling voice says terrified. I look towards the voice. Four small men, like 3 foot something watch me with curious looks. All of them have curly hair and slightly hairy feet. One of them has brown hair while the other have variations of blond hair. They all seem like men who had some kind of drug that stunted their growth.
"I'm Lia." I answer simply.
"I'm Pippin!" One of the blond haired hobbits says.
(Ps just to show you what they look like. Yes TheQueenOf_Mirkwood and I have the same pics lol. We share stuff like this. It's what happens when you have friends XD Sam on the left and Frodo on the right

Now back to the story!)
"Pip don't tell her! She could be working for them!" The brown haired hobbit hisses. I cock my head confused.
"Who?" I ask. Pippin completely ignores us both and stares at my clothes.
"Why are you wearing such strange clothes?" He asks me. I look down. I'm wearing my normal clothes. Then I look at them. They're wearing the type of clothes you'd see in the medieval ages.
"I-er.." I search for an explanation when I hear an 'oomph' behind me and two people drop from the treetops.
"MERDE QU'EST-IL C'EST ARRIVÉ?!" The girl shouts in French. She has black hair and piercing bright blue eyes. Unnervingly blue. Too bright for a human. Then I notice the raven wings on her back. She seems to notice the ones on my back because she stares at me and starts shaking slightly and hyperventilating. It'd be funny if I knew where we were.
"Why do you have wings too?!" We both exclaim at the same time.
"Why are there three strange people now?!" Merry exclaims.
"Can someone please tell me where we are and- why do you have wings Carmen?!" The second person asks the girl, Carmen. He's a scruffy brown haired guy with glasses. Not my type of guy.
"You are in the forest near Bree." The brown haired short man answers. "I'm Frodo and I think you were sent to help us on our journey."
"Huh." I mutter. I shrug. "Let's get going to Bree Cheese then."
