After running around, drenched and cold for about ten minutes, I come across a small but dry cave. I rush in and strip off me dripping cloths, squeezing out as much water as I can. Afterwards I put them back on and jog around the small cave. Trying to keep my body heat up. The sun was all the way down and the stars where out. The rain had calmed down a bit, and the sound of little pitter-patters hitting the ground was so peaceful. I lay down on the cold cave ground, and listen to the peaceful sound. My eyes grow heavy,  drowsiness overcomes my body. Soon I am in a deep slumber.

I'm running through the streets, covered in blood. My families blood. I run as fast as my little legs can take me, anywhere. It doesn't matter to me, I just wanted to run. Sadly this afternoon, everyone was outside. And they all saw me. I skipped from street to street, trying to dodge their eyes. Out of nowhere, a woman came up to me and tried to bring me into her house.

"Oh my darling?!" She exclaimed, grabbing my arm. "Come with me, you pour little thing! What happened?!"

"NO! Let go of me!" I shrieked, thrashing for my life. And gaining everyone's attention. "No! Get away from me! No!"

The woman kept her grip on me, but didn't respond. The woman that started to shake like a wet dog, White foam seeped from her mouth. She let go of my arm and fell to the ground, continuing to shake and foam. Than she went still. People around me started to freakout in their own ways, some calling an ambulance. Than that terrifying came back.

"You shouldn't grab my little angel like that." She laughed out loud, but it was me who was saying it. With her voice.  "You humans are so pathetic, it amuses me so~!" The woman, or I started to laugh like a madman.

Everyone grew terrified and freaked out, some started to call the police. I too began to freak, and the only thing I could do was run. So that's exactly what I did. Tears streamed out of my emerald eye and down my cheeks, I choke out sobs while running. Police sirens where heard in the distance, the only place I could think of running off to was the woods. The only place that will completely shield me from everyone. As I run into the forest, I hear feet trail after me. I run for their sake, I fear for their lives. For I am  now a monster that will hurt them. I try to yell out to them, and tell them that their lives are at stake. But I have no voice. I continue to run, choking out sobs, my lungs burning, my body aching. I just want this to stop, I don't want anymore people to die. Just then my body goes limp from running, and I fall to the ground painting like a dog. Only one word runs through my mind, and I manage to faintly whisper that word word as my eyes start to close.

"Why?"

"Because." The woman whispers into my mind. "I find it to be entertaining, and I don't want my little angel to get tainted by these maggots."

My eyes finely close and I somehow get an over-all view ow the situation, I see the police approach my unconscious body. One of the police men mumbles something into his little radio, the others just stand around me. they all look tired, some have annoyed  facial expressions. One of the police men then crouches next to me, he looks the most annoyed.

"Damn loon." He spits. "Might as well send her straight to the asylum."

Just as he was about to touch my motionless body, a deep growl is heard in the area.

"Keep your filthy tainted paws away from my angel!" A woman growl, the same woman in my head. "You or anyone is going to take her, EVER!"

The police officer that is crouching next to me then takes out his gun, a fearful expression writing all over his face. He the aims the gun at one of the other officers. He pulls the trigger and shoots an officer in the head. He stands up and continues to kill each one, they all are held by their own will. They all scream bloody murder as they plead for mercy, plead for him to stop. Blood stains the forest floor, the men lay dead with blood seeping out their ears, noses, and mouths. The last officer is shaking in fear, as he raises his gun and holds it to his temple. He cries and begs for his life, pleading for mercy.

"You'll just go after my little angel, so no." The woman said with a cold hearted voice.

The officer than pulled the trigger, and everything went dark with a bang.

I shoot upright from the cold stone floor, sweet and tears cover me.  I dread it when my memories make their way into my dreams. I look around and see a beam of sunlight cast inside the cold and dark cave. I collect myself from the cold floor and walk out the opening of the cave, letting the sun beams warm my cold skin. I walk around the area, investigating where I was. Because I had ran into this area at night in a downpour, and wasn't able to see the surroundings I was passed. Just as I passes a few moss covered boulders, A throbbing pain struck my back.

I drop to my hands and knees, screeching a blood curdling screech. The pain was horrific, and the skin by my shoulder blades started to rip open. Blood drizzled out of the opening wound. Cracking and popping started sounding from my wound as something forced its war out, ripping the back of my green shirt in the posses. In one excruciating and swift movement, a pair of deep (almost black) blue wings shoot from my back. Forcing more blood to come out. The pair of wings where two times my size, this time they happened to be blue. I stay on my hands and knees, tears pour down my cheeks, panting from my long screams, I will never get use to that pain. The blood finely stops coming out.

"Now they decide to come out, when I don't even need them." I say in a frustrated manor, still panting.

"Do you like them my little angel?" Sapphire asks. "I thought this time you should have a blue pair, they look so graceful on you~!"

"Yes I'm thrilled." I say sarcastically. "It's just what I needed."

"Come now my little angel." I can hear the pout in her voice. "Don't be such a suck-up. Come now, we must get you some new things~!"

Just then, the wings outstretch and I am forces into the air. Over the canopy of trees. I protect my head with my arms from the incoming branches, the sun is shining onto my flying figure. Once in just over the trees, I see a town only two miles away. And she fly's me in that direction by force. Wind rushes past me, and it feels kind of nice.

"Wait, what?!" I begin. "I cant go into town with wings!"

"Sure you can!" Says Sapphire. I can feel a mischievous grin in her voice.

I sore through the sky, feeling the wind move through each one of my feathers. But right now I'm not enjoying the breeze, I'm squirming around under my own wings."Over reacting" in Sapphire's wording. I was nearing the town, the forest still underneath me. Sapphire swiftly and carefully lands me in the woods that are just near town. I can fly myself, its just that she wanted me to come to town. And I didn't. I tucked my wings back just as I exit the forest, many people had started looking at me. Just as I expected. But there was something else that I didn't expect, they where all wearing costumes. It was a town festival.
