Pain.

I blink my eyes slowly, being pulled abrubtly from my peaceful slumber. I groan, tucking under the covers more. Pain surges through my body.

"(Y/N)? Are you awake?" A voice asks quietly. I huff, nodding my head. "How bad does it hurt?"

"Bad." I answer, pouting. I sit up slowly sending pain over my nerves. Toby, Ben. EJ and Jane all sit in various chairs around my bed.

EJ holds my eye open and shines it in my eye. I whine. He pats my head.

"You're responsive which is good after using up that much magic energy." EJ explains, patting my back softly.

"Thanks.." I mumble, holding my head.

Pain surges around my skull, dancing gracefully across my vision. A silence falls around the people in my room.

"How long was I out?" I ask. Toby pipes up.

"For about month. You put Zalgo in a critical state. He was so unprepared for the attack that he took it full on. His body went into a reset state." Toby explains. I nod, resting my head on my knees.

"How did you do that?" Ben asks. Jane smacks him. "What? I wanna know and I know you all do too."

"To be honest, I don't know. I got mad and then my body took over." I explain. Ben nods. One of my wings wraps around me as a memory flashes through my mind.

I reach over my shoulder, touching the feathery stump left behind. Tears begin to slide down my face.

"By the time I got you into surgery, it was too late for me too reattach it..." EJ explains. I gulp, nodding my head.

Heavy sobs rack my body. I touch the opposite shoulder. I feel the deeply engraved handprint. I sigh, wiping my tears.

"(Y/N)." Jane calls. I look up at her. She smiles sweetly, taking my hands in hers. "Tell me about your past."

"Will you tell me yours in return?" I ask. She nods. I smile.

"When I was really young, my mom would always bring random people home. It was most of the men but sometimes woman too. They came but they never left and I always wondered why. One time, my mom had a puppy in the basement. It was always whining very sadly. Mom told me to never go see the puppy which made me sad. Until one day, I went and saw the puppy anyway. Mom caught me and gave me candy and soda. I asked her why there was a boy in the basement. And why he didn't have any arms or legs. She told me to never go down there again. I listened until one day the puppy left." I explain a memory of my childhood.

They all stare at me, completely mortified.

"Anyways, when I was about seven, my momma had brought home another man. I was really thirsty that night so I went downstairs to get water. A very strong metallic scent hit my nose as I finally reached the floor. I went into the living room, following the weird smell. The man momma had brought home was on the ground and she was hunched over him. She was eating his body ravenously." I explain.

Jane, Toby and Ben all looks disgusted. EJ didn't seem bothered.

"She had big black wings like mine but they were a little red too. She had really sharp teeth and long claws that were very scary. She told me that I was just like her. That I was an angel raised by demons and that my destiny was to be like her. Nana had told me that people that killed other people were bad so I killed her with a fire poker. I stabbed it right through her heart. I don't miss her. I do miss daddy a lot though." I explain.

They seemed a little shocked now.

"I told the police what happened and they didn't believe me. They gave me to the doctors and the doctors didn't believe me either. The doctors gave me a bunch of medicine that hurt my body. It also made me forget things. I didn't like it. But then Boss saved me and thats when I met you!" I cheer.  They all chuckle at my excitement. "And I think I'm the happiest I've ever been."

"That's wonderful to hear, (Y/N)." Jane states. I smile softly.

"Where is my wing?" I ask. EJ turns to face me.

"Slender hung it above the fireplace as a memento of what you achieved that day." Toby explains. I nod softly.

"Do you think my healing abilities could mend my wing?" I ask EJ. He shrugs.

"It is a possibility but unlikely considering it would be leaking that black liquid it leaks when healing your body." EJ explains. I nod.

"Can I watch anime with Ben?" I ask. They all look at me curiously.

"You don't want to watch the battle?" Jane asks. I raise an eyebrow.

"What battle?" I ask. Ben facepalms.

"She was asleep, idiots." Ben explains. "Everytime we win in a war we have a battle to see who wins. It's just for fun and we always wait until everyone is fully healed so whoever wants to participate can."

"Oh, that sounds like fun." I mutter. My mind flashes back to the battlefield. "Did anyone die?"

"No. Jeff came close but Slender was able to save him." Toby explains. I smile, hugging myself.

"Let's go watch the battle!" I cheer, standing up before immediately meeting the floor. "Ow..."

"How about I carry you?" Ben offers. I roll my eyes. The others butt in quickly.

"Can I carry you? I'm actually strong unlike that reject." Toby offers. I raise an eyebrow. Jane takes my hands in hers.

"We all know she would prefer that I carry her." Jane teases. EJ scoffs, picking me up.

"Stop flirting with her and lets go you novices." EJ insults. He carries me down the stairs, I stare at his face.

"What's under the mask?" I ask him. He stops midstep before tilting his head down at me.

"Something scary. I'll show you when I think you are ready." EJ answers vaguely. I nod, dropping the subject. We finally make it to the backyard.

A large boxing ring has appeared in the center and everyone is gathered around it.

"Is there anyone not participating?! This is the final call!" Splendy yells. Ben goes to speak out on my behalf but I grab his ear. He whines, falling off his feet.

"You can't fight! You can barely walk!" Ben yells at me. I smirk.

"I wanna! I was just dizzy! I'll be fine!" I argue. Ben slumps onto the ground, pouting. EJ sets me gently on the ground and my toes sink into the soft grass. I giggle. "See!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Ben huffs, turning away from me. EJ puts a hand on my shoulder.

"He is just worried. He will get over it once you win." EJ explains, his mask perks up slightly. I think that means he is smiling.

"I can't wait to win!"
