Sylvia's pov
I walked through the forest just to see the scenery and the smell of the trees, my sister Felicia is waiting for me at home but I rather stay out a little longer. I started to hear a little bell ringing and saw a small cage with a black snake inside it "oh boy" I think of a plan to help the snake, so I cut the string to the bell making it silent hoping that there wasn't any hunters near by, there was a lock on the cage so I took a hairpin from my bushy hair and started to pick the lock but the snake started hissing at me and I saw two sharp fangs, I got nervous that it would bite me before I unlock the lock but I shook it off and continued to unlock it but kept on hissing at me and it almost bit me "I'm trying to help you!" I gritted my teeth so I can stop myself from yelling and the snake seemed to understand me as it backed away from my hand which there wasn't a bite mark thankfully.

I finally got the lock and opened the cage for the black snake, it came out and looked at me for a minute until it slithered away.

I got back home "hey Syl how was the walk?" Felicia asked "it was good. I helped a snake out of a cage" I said walking to my room and put my headphones on listening to some
music in my phone.

The next day

Sylvia's pov
I walked around school going to my classes but they were kind of mostly boring but with Erma, they don't stay boring forever.

"so what are you guys gonna do over the summer?" Amy asked while I eat my sandwich "well I'm gonna go to a beach house and enjoy the beach" Miko said, I looked at Erma while she looks out of space, she kept on have a weird dream of a person that she has never seen before and yet it kept on coming to her dreams and we're all worried for her "Sylvia!" "huh what?" "what are you gonna do over the summer?" Amy asked "oh my dad is sending to an archery camp, not really a big fan for it but might as well, at least I should be back over the weekends of summer so we can hang out" I said and everyone agreed and so did Erma.

Summer came and I got ready for archery camp and Felicia drove me to the camp, it was a few hours of driving. When we got there the houses didn't seem so bad and there was some people there already. I hugged my sister "bye Felicia" "good luck!" she waved and drove off.

People waited for the counselor, some people brought their own bows and arrows. The counselor came finally "welcome to the Archery Camp, there will be section of teams, the shadows and the angels" speaking of angels Sylvia saw a girl a bit taller than me with pink hair with hot pink clothing and had white wings behind her "hi! my name's Amora!" she introduced herself to Sylvia " um hi I'm Sylvia" she said "ooo! like Sylveon!" Amora said excitedly "uh I guess" Sylvia said nervously "you're gonna like it here I heard there is a young instructor is almost the age as us, I bet he is attractive" Amora said "and now one of the shadows will demonstrate, come on up" the counselor said and a dark skinned blonde girl went to the targets, shoots an arrow, and it landed at the middle of the target.

I was so amazed and everyone clapped but then three arrows was shot at the same time and hit all three targets in the middle splitting the arrow the girl shoot in half. I looked where it came from and saw a monster with ink color skin having a white shirt and black jacket holding the bow side ways which is impressive of how he shoot those arrows "you are late!" the counselor yelled but the guy wasn't phased by it, he just looked at the counselor emotionless "sorry, I had some difficulties on the way" he said then looked at me, I started to fluster a bit and looked away.

Amora then nudged my arm "attractive isn't he?" she said smiling, I rolled my eyes and looked back at the guy as he had his eyelids a bit more half-lidded.

I was a bit surprised when I saw the girl that had saved my life, I went to the list of the teams that the students will be sent to and I saw the name 'Sylvia' in the shadows list, I misheard the cupid saying her name when they were talking to each other. My fangs grew a bit and I spit a bit of black venom on the name and melted it off leaving melted ink, my eyes shines and the ink moved to the Angels list and put in Sylvia's name, I know how the Shadows can be when it comes to newcomers.

Everyone got silent when the counselor got the two clip boards of the teams "ok Amora you will be on the Angels team and Sylvia same for you "huh I thought I saw my name on the Shadows list" Sylvia said being a bit confused "doesn't matter! I got to be with my friendy!" Amora said hugging Sylvia and she giggled.

The counselor continues calling out the names of which team they will be. Everyone gets ready getting their bows and arrows and got to the targets "ok he will be your instructor even though he isn't up to the age" the counselor said but the monster next to him glared a bit, the monster sighs and steps up "I'm Slinderend, as he said I will be your instructor but since I am leader of the team Shadows, I will be done instructing in my own time" he said.

"huh so his name is Slinderend, I hope he's single cause he is cute" Amora said but I rolled my eyes smiling a bit, I looked at Slinderend but he also looked at me but looked back at the others. He started to teach the students and they weren't very good at first but they got better....for me though not so much, I shot my first arrow but it was too high that it hit one of the lanterns "um oops" I nervously said then I shoot some more but one of the hit the side and it went for Slinderend but he caught it, he still didn't show any once of emotions but I do feel like he is glaring at me. I wanted to shrink myself and disappear.

It was break time finally, I sit on one of the old wooden tables and could hear people snickering, giggling, and laughing at me "ugh *slams head on the table* I'm the worst at this" I mumbled to myself "no you are not" Amora said trying to cheer me up "you're just...eehh out of practice" but failed miserably "it's bad enough that I almost killed the instructor" I mumbled still having my face on the table as I get my food out of the brown bag, getting out an apple, a juice box, and a ham and cheese sandwich, I got my head back up and started to eat the sandwich "hey you'll get better, I'm sure of it" Amora said "easy for you to say, you're a cupid and you guys are known for l-!!" she covers my mouth with both of her hands "please don't say that word! I have a hehe small obsession when it comes to L or V" Amora said laughing nervously and I rose an eyebrow "o...k I'll keep that in mind" I said.

Slinderend's pov
Sylvia was..pretty bad not gonna lie, also her friend wouldn't stop looking at me every time I look at Sylvia. I wipe the blood off my mouth from my break time food and started to train myself.
