"Heh! No way something like this could be going on.", spoken by a figure wearing a gray trench coat with a gray vest and plaid tie, also an all white mask with a single eyehole over his right eye. The figure's cell phone is illuminating the dark alleyway slightly. "I'm almost there", the figure spoke once more before hanging up the phone and continuing down the alleyway. After a few more yards of walking the figure emerged from the darkness of the alleyway. Across the street, a huge premiere. As the figure walked past the crowds of people in front of the hall where the premiere was being held the street was filled with loud chatter and cheering. "28 minutes until show time!" an announcer spoke as it drowned the other chatter.
As the figure continued into the hall's main entrance he looked up at the glass dome and saw a shadow dash across the glass. The moon was full so the shadow was easily spotted. The figure removed his mask and revealed his face. He was a young man in his mid 20s with shiny silver hair. His purple eyes were illuminated under the moon's light shining through the dome. He smirked and removed his hair from his face and began to walk toward a door which read "Authorized Personnel Only". He opened the door and walked down a dimly lit corridor toward a staircase. Walking up the stairs the only sound was his own footsteps. As he continued he came to a door which read "Roof Access". He walked through the door and saw a horrifying sight. A figure wearing a green hoodie was covered in blood as he feasted on the organs of a security guard.
The man put his mask back on and his eyehole dimly glowed purple. "Disgusting, how you pathetic creatures believe that you can live among humans. You creatures constantly devour innocent humans and now, I am going to make the streets a little safer." The hooded man stood up and stared in a horrified trance. His eyes were completely blacked out and there were red veiny scratches near his eyes. The hooded man looked like he was about 19 years old. He had blood on his mouth and tears in his eyes. "Please, help me", the hooded man whimpered as he stared at the masked man in agony. The hooded man who's name was Evan began to scream and hold his face. Bulges in his back began to violently form. After a minute or so of this process a pair of wings were on Evan's back. He started to scream out more as his eyes widened and his pupils vanished.
"Heh, I knew I'd find you Fly", the masked man spoke confidently. The Fly has been causing trouble all over the city. The masked man stares at the Fly for a moment before dashing toward him. He pulled out a sword and slashed at Fly's chest just a second too late. The fly spiraled in the air and dive bombed downward and struck the masked man in the chest sending him flying. The man flipped downward and dashed again this time moving from side to side to keep is movements faster and more unpredictable. He jumped in the air and crossed over ending behind the Fly. As the Fly turned around the masked man struck the Fly in the chest. The Fly fell to his knees as his eyes opened wide.
His wings slowly faded and tears began to well in his eyes. As he looked up at the masked man he began to feel his life slip away. He briefly saw a flashback that made him cry even more. It was him before he was the Fly. Just a normal human child. He sat alone in his class as other children shunned him. He began to walk hoping to gain acceptance but, then he was bullied horridly. After seeing the flashback tears fell down his cheeks as his eyes closed and his head moved to hit the floor. The masked man stared at the Fly as he uttered his last words: "I just want to be accepted". After saying those last words the Fly was no more. The masked man turned and faced the moon.
The masked man looked as people entered the hall. He jumped down into the middle of the crowd and stood there for a few moments. After that time waiting he disappeared into the darkness of the street's alley. The masked man walked down the alley and came up to the next street over. He kept walking until he saw his motorcycle. He got on and drove down the street, dimly illuminated by street lamps...
