I sped forward, not caring where I was going, or if I would ever come back. I pulled the tracking device out of my pocket that I had almost forgot about. When I shrieked at Zakk about her being like my daughter, I remembered what I had found in her little blanket. The little tracker device I held in my hand now, and a note from her actual mother.
To whoever finds this precious baby: Please. Take care of her. I couldn't. There is a chip implanted in her neck in case you would need it, and the device on top is for you. Please take care of my dear Savana Jade. I want nothing more than to know that she's safe.

I had hid the note and the device, and wrote on a paper napkin, "she's safe" and stuck it in the door frame. I'd forgotten about the tracker, which I had hidden in the very bottom of my emergency backpack. Until now.
I followed the direction of the little glowing dot, heading due East. I was closing in, fast. Hope began to rise in my chest. As long as the dot glowed, it meant she was still alive.
I got within 500 feet, and I could seethe building she was most likely being held in. It was a bland, gray building, resting on sand. There were few windows, and the ones that were there were either covered up or darkened from the inside. I shot towards the one that I hoped was just darkened. I broke through the glass, watching it shatter around me. A few sliced my skin, but the sting was the last thing I was thinking about.
What were the chances of breaking into the exact room that held Nanna? Slim to none.
But it had happened.
I rushed forward, tears of joy streaking down my face. But as soon as they came, they stopped. My eyes had subconsciously analyzing every aspect of her, including one I didn't want to see.
She wasn't breathing.
I choked on my own breath, taking one hesitant step towards her. I blinked sporadically, trying to clear my vision of what was hopefully just the light hitting her wrong. I knelt beside her, gently touching her. Nope. She was cold as a rock. Tears leaked out of my eyes again, this time of pure heartbreak. I picked her up in my arms, laying her across my lap and bowing my head over her body. You were too late, you were too late, the words kept repeating in my head. A silent sob racked my body, and I clutched my baby closer. The fact that she was gone didn't make sense, couldn't make sense.
Just then, two buff guys wearing all black busted into the room. The surprise didn't even register in me. I simply stood up and launched myself out the window, still carrying Savana. They ran over to the window, but by the time they looked up, I was almost completely out of sight. I didn't care. My mind was already on overload.
They had killed my baby.

Action"Alright, then. Up and away, guys!" I shouted, already running in the direction of the shore. My toes barely skimmed the water when I jumped, probably a good 2 feet in the air, and unfolded my pure white wings. I pumped them up and down, gaining alt...
