"Blue eyes just smile to the world, full of dreams and with fascination."
I'm dreaming again. I realize this a little late, but it's the same dream as before. I'm flying once again, the same wind screaming in my ears and rushing around me. I wait. Wait for my body to hit the ground and to wake up again on that cold floor without Avi there to comfort me. I breathe in. Breathe out. I let my arms leave my sides and spread them wide, welcoming death. I shut my eyes and just wait.
"Sam!"
This time I know the voice. Someone grasps my hand tight and pulls me up. I open my eyes and see Avi there. She grins at me and takes my other hand.
The wind around the two of us slows and thickens to Avi's will. The air rushing around me now sways gently, tussling my hair.
"So, this is your power?" I laugh. Avi doesn't answer, really, just leans back into the wind, letting it swirl around her. She giggles.
Then she looks at me, mildly serious. "Promise me something."
I hesitate, then nod. "Anything."
"Promise you'll stay with me. Forever. Promise that you'll never leave me."
I nod again, smiling. "I promise."
She smiles at me, and I notice for the first time that her eyes aren't grey. They're blue. A bright, shiny blue. She pulls me into a tight hug, which I return gratefully, and together we slowly descend into our new lives.
