Evan's POV

"There you are, Evan!" Craig came and slapped me on the back. "Me and Lui have been looking for ya."

I nodded and looked up at the gray, lifeless sky. I decided to skip class today, because I couldn't be bothered to deal with that. So, I went to a cafe with an outdoor area.

"I'm bored." I said.

"Oh, c'mon, we just had to listen to an old man on the bus telling us about his adventures in 'finding the right denture for you.' We should be the bored ones here." Lui chuckled.

I smiled and slapped Lui on the arm.

"Dude?!" He pouted, earning a laugh from me and Craig.

"Well, lets go do some productive stuff with or lives." I smiled.

"I vote we go to a club and hire lap dancers! Like in Grand Theft Auto!" Lui said as his eyes sparkled with ambition. Me and Craig face palmed.

"Lui, what the flip." Craig asked.

"What?"

"Guys, how about we just go get some pizza at the mall and hit an arcade." I offered.

"I'm down for that." Craig said.

And Lui pouted yet again.

~(Timeskip to Mall at the Pizza Place)~

We all sat at Little Ceasers with a three cheese pizza, and we ordered some slushes. Slushes and pizza were the perfect mix.

"Dude, this was a great idea. I can feel all my workouts for the past month just going down the drain." Lui joked.

"You sound like a white girl. 'Omg I, like, feel the calories! It's gross!'" We all burst out laughing at that joke.

Craig and Lui kept talking, but something caught my attention. The staff was gone. And we were the only customers in the restaurant.

Okay?

"Guys, something's up." I said. Craig and Lui were confused until they saw what I did.

We were shook.

All the sudden, a few men in black came into the restaurant. We were uncomfortable by their presence, considering these guys were HUGE. You could see their muscles through their suits.

They all were staring at us. And there was really no way for us to "play it cool" and pretend like we didn't see them. I glanced over to one of the men and freaked out when he turned to a girl behind him. She had short brown hair and her bags covered one of her eyes. The one eye that was shown was a hypnotic blue. She stood out because she was the only female. She was short, making her look absolutely tiny to the men. She wore a rather casual outfit, an icy blue tank top with a whit long jacket, with blue jean shorts. She also had finger-less gloves. So despite her what could've been cute appearance, she instead had a threatening aura.

She spoke something to the guys before coming closer to us. "Hey! Can I buy you guys something on the menu? Anything? Its on me!" She said, smiling brightly.

"Not that I think you really need to pay to someone right now. I mean, is anyone even working right now?" Craig asked.

She smiled nervously. "Oh, y-you're right!" She chuckled. She sighed and looked us all in the face. "Listen, this happens to be my first rodeo, doing this sorta thing."

"What exactly are you doing?" Lui asked.

The girl looked at him like he was an idiot. Then she sighed. "So, you don't know..." She then looked as threatening as before. "You'll be coming with us." She looked at the escort of men. "GRAB THEM!"

We all instinctively got ready for a fight. The men came over and Lui kicked two of them square in the chest, I think I heard their ribs cracking. "Oh, sorry!" Lui called to the men that doubled over.

I jumped off the chair and launched myself into the air and spun kicked a few of the guards. I didn't even know I could do that?

Craig decided to just be chill and he started uppercutting the escorts. He looked shock when it was revealed he had finished them off.

There was a glowing blue light from behind us. I looked to see that girl from before, with a FREAKING GLOWING SWORD JESUS CHRIST WHAT.

All the sudden, Craig started glowing pink. He was floating in the air and pink and purple butterfly wings came from his back. Lui started glowing a burnt orange, and he grew ears like a monkey with a monkey tail. I looked down to see me glowing red. When i went into the air, i felt a tinging sensation from my back. I tried to see, but I only saw feathers.

Feathers.

I'm taken back to a memory, one I don't remember. I'm in the woods, there's snow. I feel the weight of my wings on my back. My wings? Yes... that's right.

A woman walks at a quick speed with me. My mother. My mother? She's dead. Hold on... Were running. We're in danger.

"Evan, I need to hide your wings. You'll be safe."

I'm back to reality, extremely confused.

"All of you, power down." The girl says, waving her sword. She's ready to attack.

"W-Wait! Power down?" And she started charging at me with incredible speed. "We dont even know what's going--"

I feel pain and my vision goes black.

"--on..."
