     "If he takes you back I'll be kicked out again!" he says, panicked. I blink, my look curious. "Nevermind. If I release the straps, don't attack or I might have to kill you." He was almost begging. Once more I nodded and he undid the straps. He seemed also impatient. He hands me a plain blue dress, one that seemed to be something from Alice in Wonderland. He taps his food as I stare at it. 
     "Put it on!" he says impatiently. I look around for a place to change and shoves me behind a curtain. When I emerge he blushes, the dress showing off my childish body nicely, making me look innocent. His arms softly encase me, snaking along my waist. He looks deep into my eyes, his green eyes hypnotizing me. 
     Then his lips closed over mine. I knew the kiss would be rough and impatient but it was also deep and passionate. His fingers curled into my hair, pulling my head back as he trailed kisses down my throat.
     "He made me hate you, my father. He wants me to kill you. I'm going to let you go. You are going to push me away and run, fly out the window. Go north to get back to the flower shop. I bet Samuel is waiting." he spoke sadly then waited. Something about this man made me want to stay. 
     But as instructed I pushed him away and ran barefoot to the window. I unfurled my great wings and squeezed out, free-falling for a few seconds before my wings caught the air. I looked back to see the man watching, depressed as I flew towards home.  Imprint
