Above is a picture of Alexandrite's wings.

*Alexandrite's POV*

Thunder rumbled through the sky, as lightening struck down a few feet from me. I scrambled to my feet, my shoes splashing in the puddles that formed on the ground. Running through the alleyways, lightening struck the brick wall.

"You're not getting away this time you little bitch!" I heard him scream as he flew above me.

My lungs were screaming as I pushed myself to run faster. I felt my wings catch a gust of wind and I was propelled backwards into a wall. I clenched my jaw, digging my nails into my palms, trying not to cry out in pain.

I heard the beat of his wings as he landed in front of me. Looking up, his stormy grey eyes pierced through mine. I lifted my hand and my red mark lit up, fire igniting my hand and i threw a ball of flames at him. But the rain extinguished it before it could strike him.

"I told you, you will never escape from me." He stalked forward and grabbed my neck, picking me off the ground.

I opened my wings and jerked my body to the right and my wing hit him in the side of his head, knocking him to the ground. I gasped for air as I hit the ground, my wings tucked underneath me. Quickly getting to my feet, I bolted down the alleyway, away from him. Lightening flashed across the sky and I felt my adrenaline kick in as I turned the corner. I raced towards the opening of the alleyway, I knew that he wouldn't dare attack me when there are people around.

I called upon the elements to make me invisible and when I hit the opening, my wings stretched opened. I jumped in the air and with a few powerful beats through the air, I was flying high above the small buildings. I glanced behind me and saw that he was catching up to me. I climbed higher into the air, but that seemed to make matters worse.

My head started to fog up and my vision was blurry, black spots clouded my eyes. I felt my wings give out and I dipped down, lowering my altitude. The dizziness went away and I opened my wings, catching my fall. I raced forward, weaving through the buildings trying to shake him.

But as I turned the corner of the building I felt a bolt of lightening strike me. I screamed out in pain, as I spiraled down to the ground. I wrapped my wings around me and I bashed into a wall, then a bright white light blinded my vision.

I gasped as I opened my eyes. Looking around, hearing the others laughing in the front, made me realize that I wasn't on the street anymore; but I was safe on the bus with Andy and the other. My heart raced as I slowly sat up. Light shined through the crack in the curtain that hung in the bunk. I could smell Andy's cologne on the blanket and I remembered that I fell asleep with him.

My ears picked up voices coming from the front of the bus and I slowly crawled out of the bunk. I felt a feather pull and I yelped in pain as it came out of the bottom. Fluttering to the floor, I quickly picked it up and put it in my pocket. My fingers playing with the grey speckled feather as I slowly made my way to the front.

"Are you sure we should play tonight?" I heard someone ask, it was probably Jinx.

"I don' t know. I'm still trying to figure out what to do." I heard Andy say, he sounded frustrated. I peeked around the corner and saw him holding his head in his hands, his elbows propped on his knees.

I felt bad, it was like I was the reason they might not play tonight. I walked to the back and stepped into the bathroom, locking the door behind me. Switching on the light I looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes shining back at me, my hair was in all directions and I honestly looked like I didn't sleep for days.

I found a brush and combed the knots out of my hair, pulling it back into a tight pony tail. I shrugged my arm out of the sweatshirt, pulling it over my head and stretched out my arms. I opened my wings up a little bit, feeling the muscles stretching and soreness came from my right wing. A knock on the door caused me to jump and my wing hit the shampoo off of the shelf.

"Alex are you alright in there?" I heard CC's voice on the other end of the door.

"Y-Yeah." I stuttered as I closed my wings and rushed to put my sweater back on.

The doorknob jiggled and I yanked the sweater over my head, causing a wave of pain through my right shoulder. I clenched my jaw trying not to scream and jumped when the door flew opened.

"Oh thank god." Ashely sighed as he scanned the room, I guess making sure I wasn't hurt.

"I'm okay, sorry I accidentally knocked down one of the bottles of soap." I picked up the bottle and climbed on the tiny lip of the mini tub, putting it back on the shelf.

"But-how- you..." he gestured to me then to the bottle and shook his head, dropping his hand to his side. "I'm not even going to ask."

I walked out of the bathroom, Ashely moving away so I can walk down the narrow path to the front lounge.

"Oh hey, you dropped something." I turned around and saw Ashely holding a feather... one of my feathers. Checking my pockets, I realized that I must've dropped it.

"Thanks." I took it from him and put it in my pocket. My fingers played with the it as I walked passed the counter and sat down next to Andy on the couch.

"Hey Andy." I said softly, peeking up at him.

He moved his hands from his face, looking at me and smiled a little bit. "Hey, Alex. How did you sleep?"

I shrugged my shoulders, feeling my wings move. That caused Andy to jump, but I played it off as nothing. "Okay, I guess. Better than I had in days." I answered.

Andy nodded his head and sighed, looking at the guys. I looked up and saw CC sitting at the booth, jinx sitting on the small counter, Ashely and Jake were leaning against the wall.

"So what are you guys playing tonight?" I asked.

"We have a concert to play tonight, but we don't know if we should." Jake answered.

"You should, just because I'm here you guys shouldn't put it on hold." I simply stated. "Besides, it would be cool to be behind the stage, for my first concert."

"Then it's settled, we are playing tonight. But Alexandrite," CC pointed to me, "you are helping us with our set list."

I smiled and nodded. I looked back at Andy and he was just staring down at me.

"What?" I frowned at him.

He shook his head, searching my eyes like he was looking for something. Then he sighed and said it was nothing. I watched as he got up and walked into the back.

I sat there, feeling confused but scared at the same time.

Was he on to me? I can't let him know, any of the guys know what I am. It could awake a disaster that can destroy them all.
