My fingers traced it's feathers longingly. So soft, so comforting...
"Why must you leave?" My voice pierced the cold, steam brushing past my lips as I spoke. He.....
it, I suppose, looked down at me with soft, golden eyes that pierced my very soul. I knew it couldn't speak. Well, with words at least. It spoke through feelings. I felt a rush of sadness... loss... sorrow. That's what I felt most of the time. Sorrow. I brought it's face close to mine. It generated no body heat, as I did. Our noses bumped. I closed my eyes, running my fingers through it's feathers. "Sorrow.... is that what I shall call you, then?" The feeling of sorrow ended, and I felt it's fingers trace the curves of my face. I opened my eyes, to see it staring right back at me. "Yes, Adabelle." The voice.... so pained, tortured....
"That's what you shall call me."

"Hey, mom." I murmered, my voice hardly a strangled whisper as I fought back tears that threatened to spill. I never knew how many people she had known until now. For 5 feet around, flowers sat. Orchids, daisies, roses, so many different kinds. I might have not been the only person that missed her, but I knew I missed her the most. I set down the colorful arrangement of flowers I had picked from our garden. Just last week she had helped me tend to them. I knelt down, and set them next to her headstone that read, "Here Lies Mrs. Lisa Stone". I let my fingers slide over the stone, a lump forming in my throat. Why her? It wasn't her fault. Just because some stupid guy decided to hold up the grocery store, she ended up getting killed. All she was doing was getting us some popcorn for the movie we were going to watch on the couch. It was my fault I asked her to get us some.
It was my fault.
My fault.
A feeling of anger overcame me. Pure hate, smoldering and burning. I whipped around to see a cloaked figure watching me. But- no. Wings? Impossible. But there they were, sitting atop his.... her.... it's shoulders. It was impossible to tell it's gender. It's face looked like it belonged to a young man, but it's eyes were a soft yellow, and looked as if they belonged to a young girl. It stood there, it's hands clenched into fists. It looked angry at me. It took a step towards me, careful not to step on any flowers. It kneeled down on one knee, and placed it's hand next to mine on the grave. The feeling of anger melted away into sympathy, but I could still feel the fading sting of the anger. "Excuse me, can I help you?" I asked it, my eyes crinkling in confusion. It jumped at the sound of my voice, and turned to face me, it's expression blank. I asked the question again. "Can I help you?" It continued staring at me, the bored expression still plastered to it's face, until it turned it's head to continue watching the gravestone. We sat there for another hour or so, unmoving, mourning. Well, at least I was. The sun began to turn hues of pastel oranges and pinks, so I knew it was time for me to go. I got up from the ground onto my knees, and the raven-like human turned to face me, and a feeling of overwhelming fear came over me. "Shhhh, shhhhh...." I hushed, my fingers running through it's thick locks of black hair. The feeling ebbed, and was replaced by sorrow. Deep, potent sorrow. "I'll be back tomorrow," I said, but I couldn't tell if it understood.
"I promise."
