1 - Captured

UNKNOWN POV

Running from the SWAT team and police force. It was just my luck.

I look to my sides, looking at the bystanders who are screaming at my presence passing them, glaring at me in fear, but I couldn't care for their stares right now.

My chest heaved as the slit on my hip poured with blood, soaking my clothes but it wasn't important right now.

I ran to the bottom of a skyscraper, smashing a window to get inside quickly and sped to the top, leaping from staircase to staircase, all the way to the roof. When I'm finally alone, I sat on the edge of the building, swinging my legs off the side, and watching the mayhem I had caused below unravel.

My breaths were slow and when I was finally fit to move again, I stand; but there was the deafening sound of a gun being cocked behind me. My teeth grind against each other, and I tensed my body to keep as still as possible

"D-don't move," the police officer said behind me.

Her voice was weak, coated in fear. She knew what I could do and what I have done.

I cackled loudly as I turn to face her, making our eyes connect and shivers crawl through her body as I stare longer, the coldness in my eyes staring her over. It was unnerving for me as we continued our contact until my lips finally tilt upward.

"Not a chance" I laughed as I swung my body back and fell off the building. The officer now stood in my old position, gaping down at me as gravity pushed me downward. The air was good and cold at this time of night and the harsh sounds filled my ears. I let a deep breath out before finally releasing my full self to let everyone experience it.

I spread my wings and propelled myself from the fast-approaching ground, the wind catching me and swinging me back into the sky. It was the best feeling ever. I glided through the vast wind, fleeing from the scene of chaos I had created behind me. My wings slid through the thick wind, and I went past the crowds in a flash. At any moment I could've escaped.

But as I was, there was an agonising pain in my left wing, but it couldn't be more than the size of a dot. It weighed me down as my body became heavy. Something had been injected into me and made me lose focus. Daring to look at my side, I there was a green dart in the sea of my dark feathers and whilst trying to get it off of me. My mind became adrift as my eyelids began to get heavier and my body started to decline towards the hard ground

Landing on my head, my vision immediately blurred, and I felt my consciousness slipping away from me. I still tried to get up, pushing myself off the ground with one arm- the one that hadn't already lost its feeling. But it was all useless as the SWAT team started to close in on me in a circle, their shields guarding their bodies so it was no use to even try to escape.

I hissed at the pain as another pain shot through my body, and this time, it was no use avoiding the fast-approaching darkness.

VALENTINA'S POV

I bolted down the old apartment stairs as fast as I could, not caring that I nearly lost my balance and nearly tripped down them multiple times.

Running out of the crumbling complex that I called my home, I ran down the busy streets. It was filled with a litter of people running to get to their workplace, much like I am. It was a struggle at first to push and shove through others but as the rush thins out, I got there in no time.

My building comes into view after 5 minutes. My work was on the outskirts of the city, mostly for the safety of others. It's a tall brick building and takes up nearly a whole block. And arriving at the front, I see my best friend running towards me, with excitement dancing in her eyes.
