Erik's POV I wake up to a bright light shining down brightly into my eyes. I squint a few times before I get enough energy to lift my head slightly. I then realize I'm in a dark room full of crows. A huge cage surrounds me as if I were a dog being locked up. I'm shirtless and lying on a cold concrete surface. My back aches as I slowly stand up to take in where I'm at. I don't remember this place nor do I believe I've ever been here. It looks new.
"Good morning, Erik" I jump at the sound of Kevin's voice in the speakers up on the walls deep in the corner. I turn but don't see him anywhere, just birds flying around the entire room and the light above me, giving a little bit of light in this cave like place. "Where am I? " I questioned as he chuckled. "You are at the final level my boy. Today you will become the crow.... and you have a little audience." Out of nowhere, more lights turn on, revealing Pamela and Amanda strapped down to chairs with tape over their mouths. "NO!" I yell as Pamela looked terrified and her mother scared. "It appears they took you from me and now they will have to pay the consequences. " "NO KEVIN, I'LL GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT JUST DON'T HURT THEM. PLEASE!" I yell as another light turns on. "Let them watch their show then you can watch the show. Now let's begin." I look over at the two women and wrap my hands around the bars of this cage. "YOU TWO ARE GONNA BE ALRIGHT OK?" I yell as Amanda nods quickly. "I'M GONNA GET YOU- Pamela starts shaking her head and screaming into the tape. Amanda too is screaming into the tape, making me turn around. I'm instantly hit in the head with a baseball bat and fall onto my back. Dizziness enters my head as I blink a couple times. What the hell was that for? I wondered before I see a man in an armored suit with a needle and a knife. I quickly go to stand up but I'm hit again, just barely knocking me out. As I hit the concrete again, I feel a slight pinch in my back and something being poured over me. I'm then left alone in this cage. I look towards the two women again and see the man who had just hit me with the bat, approaching Amanda. "NO!" I scream as someone behind me yanks me upwards quickly. "Enjoy the show" Kevin whispers in my ear as he handcuffs me. "NO LEAVE HER ALONE!" I start pulling, trying to free myself from Kevin but he puts his gloved hand over my mouth. "NNNOOO!" I scream into his hand as the man yanks her up from her seat. Pamela was screaming into the tap over her mouth as the man pulls out a gun. "NNNNOOOO, NO NOOO!" I screamed and a second later, he pulls the trigger. "NOOOO !" My screams were so loud in his hand as Pamela screams and is now crying hysterically. "Hahahah, Don't worry sweetheart... this isn't over yet." Kevin says looking at Pamela and yanking me up to my feet. I stumble slightly as something in my back starts to put lots of pressure down against my body. "Get up, Erik." He yells then slams me down on the ground in front of him. I'm on my stomach so he quickly flips me over so I'm on my back facing him. "Long live the Crow" he then raises a knife in the air. Before I can react, he stabs me right in my heart. "AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!" I cry in pain as he yanks it out and puts his hand over my open wound spewing out black blood. "RISE OF THE CROW!" He yells removing his hand and standing up.
My body shakes violently as Kevin locks the cage and stands outside it to watch. Pamela is watching and crying so hard as I'm instantly yanked up by something. "AAAGGGGGHHH!" The pain hurt so much. My entire body is reacting and I feel like I'm about to explode. My back arches as the cuffs fly off and instantly, something enters my body. "AGH!" I cry as something punctures my back. "AGH GOD!"

My eyes fill with black blood and right before I felt like I was gonna die... Two enormous black wings expand from both sides of my back. I look over my shoulders and my mouth falls wide open. The pain, the wounds, and the pressure all disappears as I slowly stand to my feet. I have wings on my back! I feel my stomach and see how I'm about a foot taller than I used to be, I'm muscular, and black ink draws itself over multiple parts of my body. My breathing is heavy and my temperature high from the experiment.
I look up at Pamela and see how scared she is, I knew I needed to get her out of here and fast. I put a finger up, signaling 'one second ' to Pam as I wrap my hands around the steel bars before me. I raise my wings up and start yanking on the bars. They slowly start shaking, encouraging me to pull much harder, so I do.
Seconds after pulling, they break in half giving me enough space to fly out. I sprint up to Pamela and kneel in front of her. "I'm so sorry " I felt like crying too. Her sweet mother, Amanda lies dead in front of us. "MMM, MMM!" I notice how her eyes go wide and are staring at someone behind me. I quickly stand up, turn around and see Kevin. "What a show huh, Pammy?" He questions Pamela making me so angry. I start yelling and fly into him with a loud impact.
We hit a wall so harshly, making Kevin Yelp in pain. "YOU BROKE MY ARM!" He yells as I stand up and kick him in the face. "YOU FUCKING KILLED HER!" I scream in his face while his nose bleeds. "SHE DID IT TO HERSELF!" I raise my fist in the air and start punching him repeatedly. "FUCK YOU!" My fits crash against his face with so much anger and hurt. He didn't hurt me as badly as he hurt Pamela. How could he just murder someone's mother who did nothing wrong? This man is truly just an evil soul.
Still I was punching him until I'm shot at. My muscles tense up as the bullet wound instantly seals up and my wings expand. I turn around and see Jonathan. "RRRAAAHHHH" I yell and start sprinting towards him. He starts shooting again as I pick him up and carry him into the air. I managed to get his gun before I drop him. He yells in fear before he hits the ground with a loud impact. Some blood splattered around him, probably giving a good sign that he's dead.
I fly back to the ground and shoot him. His body slightly jumps before I walk over to Kevin. "don't shoot!" He begs as I slide the rack back on the gun. "You killed her. Now I'm gonna kill you!" I put my hand on the trigger and was about to pull it, but once again I'm shot.
I turn around quickly and see my father. He had a pistol in his right hand and was pointing it right at me. I'm so disappointed in him and I'm sure my mother is too.
"Erik, put the gun down" I slam the gun down beside Kevin's body and slowly approach my father. My wings expand and my fist clench together. I was so angry and full of rage.
I'm now standing right before my father and he still hasn't lowered his weapon. "How could you do this?" I questioned, clenching my teeth together. "This is your fault, Erik! You did this. You got her killed and now you're gonna get her killed too." I look to my left and see that there's a man slowly approaching Pamela from behind. She had her eyes glued to mine as my eyes go wide. "PAMELA DUCK!" I yell and instantly my wings lift me off my feet as I fly down to her at the speed of lightning. I open my arms wide and grab Pamela along with the chair. I fly up to the window above us and instantly shatter it to millions of pieces. Pamela screams into the tap as guns are fired below us. "GET BACK HERE, ERIK NOW!" Dad yells but I ignored him and jump off the roof with Pamela in my arms....
