The United

BROKEN WINGS

There were 12 of us in total that have been changed. 12, almost half so far and we were all scared for our life, we wanted answers... no we needed them. We wanted to know who this shadow guy was, what does he want specifically with us and what happened to the rest of the school. But we just stood there in what was left of our classroom, spectating as each student got a specific ability. This time, the shadow man targeted Gabriella Diluca. She was one of my good friends other then Riley, Alexandra Yick, Jolly and Ariana. She looked up at the shadow mans glowing white eyes, you could see the red streaks down her face signaling she was crying before. He put his gloved hand on her and she didn't move, just looking at me, she looked at me, I felt bad, I wanted to help, I wanted to move. But I couldn't, all I could do was watch and take this in. The shadow man had clear liquid in this syringe. Gabby looked at it in disgust. And the shadow man squeezed it in softly, she made a small noise, yeah I can relate it did feel weird but I kept quiet. After he stopped she got up and didn't seem like anything was happening. Then it changed as she started screaming in pain. She went to her knees, making small noises, she hit the ground in pain and her back made a cracking sound. Something was growing out of her back. The shadow man snapped his fingers and In one second, her shirt came off. Gabby's cheeks were on fire and she put her arms around her chest which was only covered by a bra. Now we could see it, wings, wings grew out of her back. They were like fly wings, but bigger. She squirmed in pain as they grew out until fully out, they were huge and beating fast. She stood up, still holding her chest and she started to levitate in the Air, her wings beating like a hummingbird. She looked behind herself to see her wings. Then a suit formed on her, it was a brown body suit, with copper colored metal on the arms and legs. Then a black cape came out like magic, it was placed on her, she looked like a goddess. The hood came on her, she looked like the shadow man, except wearing a brown copper plated body armor and you can see her face under the hood. The wings came out magnificently. She went to the ground, and she looked at us. Her eyes were the color of blood. The shadow man laughed, and said "your eyes have changed color to suit your incredible power, look at Chelsea for a second, she deserves this." I could see her shaking, as she was scared of what happened to me. But she looked at me, her eyes seemed to glow with anger, and then I felt it. A sharp pain went on my left side. I let out a small noise of pain. Next thing my legs give out, like someone kicked them from behind, I was on my knees, infront of her. Gabby looked at me in fear, she looked terrified. I tried to resist looking into her eyes but something about that blood glow just made me stare and the pain got worse and worse every time that I looked away. " I want to stop" gabby said. "Look away" the shadow man simply said. Gabby did and I felt the pain and torment release its grasp from my body and I collapsed in total agony. "Chelsea I didn't mean too..." gabby says, hugging me as I was down. I knew she didn't mean too, believe me, she was one of my best friends and I held her back. Then I remembered what the shadow man said, about me deserving this. I cracked my knuckles and just layed there until I got the will to get up, even if I still felt sore from here sinister power of inflicting pain on people with her mind. Gabby joined us, joined the crew of mutants with no hope. "Dominick" the shadow said, taking out a bright neon yellow colored syringe. Dominick sat up tall, even if he wasn't that tall. The shadow man pierced it in his neck, Dominick letting out a small grunt. After the process the shadow man took it out and stared at him, waiting for the effects. Dominick let out a small scream as he went on both knees. Megan looked in horror at her boyfriend as his face twisted in pure agony as his back arched up, similar to Gabby's. Then he started tearing his shirt apart, the teal fabric ripped off easily and the most incredible thing happened. Wings opened up, and they were like birds. They were bigger then his entire body, were the color of buttercream and looked fluffy with the feathers. At the end, the feathers were a metallic color, like metal. "AWESOME!" He exclaimed. The shadow man laughed, probably at his stupidity. The wings looked like they picked up by themselves, you could feel the whoosh of air as the feather wings flapped. "Wanna see something cooler" the man said. "Sure" Dominick said eagerly. I had a really bad feeling about this. "Flap your wings in a forward position" he says. Dominick went into the air and did as the shadow instructed. The metallic feathers at the end shot out from the wings, heading straight towards us. Mateo ran and shot a blast of red at the metal. The sharp metal feather turned black with ash, the aroma of something burnt filling the air. "Woah, I did that@ Dominick said, looking at his large angelic wings. "Indeed" he said. "Is that all" Dominick said, a little disappointed. The shadow man chuckled and said "one more thing". "What is it" Dominick said, looking at his body to see if anything else weird happened. "Bite your tongue" the man simply said. Dominick did and something amazing happened. His skin hummed to life like a electric fence and turned a vibrant yellow, you could say he was a human flashlight. "OMG YOUR LIKE THE KIDS IN THE DISNEY AFTER DARK!" Jordan yelled, Elijah chuckled a bit and so did Ishmael at his stupid comparison to the holograms in the novel. Dominick laughed and said " IM A FLASHLIGHT!" And kept biting his tongue, his skin turning neon to regular, neon to regular. "Enough of this nonsense, lets move on with the process... I still have an army to complete" The shadow man said, clapping his hands. It felt like a sonic boom dropped, silencing us at once. Dominick dropped his head down and flew over to our little group of vigilantes, where we would have to stand as one... as a United team to watch all of us to become people we never dreamt we would be...
