I woke up with I head ache and pain in my hips. I watched as the sunlight slipped through the window and then my eyes landed on the clock. 12:56. Shit! Leo should get here in an hour. I quickly get up and start to get ready. Last night is a total blur all I remember is arriving and have a chat with the boys. Everything after my call with Leo is hazy and something tells me I don't really need to know what happened after words.

I slip my clothes on and then walk out to the living room. Dad left to work early this morning and said he wouldn't be home until late so he wouldn't be able to meet Leo until tomorrow. I grab my coat off the coat rack and then walk outside. The weather is cold, but not just cold, freezing cold to the point to wear I can feel my face burn because of the cold.

I quickly walk over to my dad's black Honda and turn the engine on. The warm air hits my face causing it to unfreeze. The weather here is not my favorite but I can't help admit it's beautiful. As I put my hand on the steering wheel I notice a black mark on my hand causing my to look at my wrist.

In black ink there's a small butterfly on my wrist. I sit there in shock as I realize I can't take it off. What the hell did I do last night? I take a deep breathe before I begin to panic and decide it's better to ignore the mark for the time being.

"I'm sorry I won't be able to make it." Leo says from the other side of the phone. "No it's fine." I say while picking my nails. "I have to go. Talk to you later." I say and hang up with out waiting for his response.

Although I was upset about him not being able to come I couldn't help, but feel relieved. It's as if my inner self didn't want him to come or something it's hard to explain.

I shove my phone into my bag and continue to walk towards the diner. I open the door and immediately I feel goosebumps cover my body. At the back of the diner in a booth separate from the rest, Harry sits alone. He looks like he's waiting for someone, but I'm not sure who. I make my way over to the counter and sit on a stool.

"What can I get for you?" The girl asks. She wears pink eyeshadow and heavy pink lips stick along with her short black uniform. "Can I get a cheeseburger fries and some strawberry lemonade to-go?" I ask while fishing for my wallet.

She nods her head and then walks over to the cash register. As I turn around I see another guy from yesterday I think his names Zayn. When I see him I'm suddenly frightened. He carries dark grey wings on his back and Harry has black wings.

I quickly shut my eyes and when I open them they're gone. Harry and Zayn sit at the booth alone with no food or drinks. Suddenly I'm afraid. Their eyes are almost completely black and the wings keep coming and disappearing.

The waitress comes back with my food and I hand her my money telling her to keep the change. I grab my stuff and quickly make my way outside.

I walk down the street until I finally approach my dads car. As I pull my keys out I'm pushed against the wall by a strong force.

Harry.

I make contact with his green orbs, but then they go completely black and I want to scream and run, but I'm frozen.

"I won't hurt you. I promise." He whispers. "But in order for that to happen your going to have to come with me." I nod my head and he grabs hold of my arm. I watch as he drags me and suddenly we're directly in front of Raven woods and I'm mortified.

What if he kills me?

He wouldn't hurt me right?

As if reading my mind he shakes his head and continues to lead me into the woods. When we finally stop I realize we are in the same spot as last night. "Why am I here?" I ask.

"You know exactly why." He says. "Tell me, what you see."

"I can...I....you....I can see your wings." I say as I start to shake. Suddenly his wings come back into view and then he changes. His tall figure carries large grey wings and he's wearing a black button up that's see through.

A large butterfly rests on his chest and small other things mark up his body. His eyes are the most beautiful shade of green and I can't stop looking at them for fear that they will go away. His hair is healthy and brown.

Curls cover his hair and I can't help but feel attracted to him. His skin is perfect no pimples no scars no nothing he's perfect. His black jeans hug his legs and black boots cover his feet. "Why can I see you differently? Why do your wings disappear and reappear?" I ask.

He steps closer and I make no movements as I am scared of what he will do to me. "Because you choose not to believe what you see. You control what you see. You see what you want."

I gulp and then he goes back to normal no wings, no nothing. His eyes are black and he now wears a grey sweater and black jeans. There are no marks on his skin and he is perfectly normal. Then he goes back, suddenly he has his wings again and he wears the same black outfit as before.

I control what I see.

"What are you?"

"That's not important. What's important is that you realize I'm not going to hurt you. You have to trust me." His wings start to move and I want to touch them.

"Your an angel." I mumble while staring at his wings.

His eyes turn completely black and he frowns while staring at me like he's reading my soul.

"Angels are good, just keep that in mind." He takes my hand and look at my wrist as if hoping to see something. The butterfly soon comes into view and he frowns as if he's confused. "What is it?" I ask. "I can't see what's on your wrist, but you can not tell me." He lets go of my hand and looks down at me.

"Are you afraid." He whispers into my ear.

"I don't know what you are, how could I not." I respond.

"I'm not human. That's what you need to know for now."
