First of all I want to thank Fluffyblobz for the suggestion! I have creativity flowing through me again! So thank you soooooo much!

Virgil POV

I wandered around the bunker I was staying in for the what seemed like the hundredth time this week. I didn't exactly have a lot to do at the moment. I groaned in frustration and plopped down on a chair. My hand rubbed over my face and I felt a twinge of pain in my back. "I need to get out," I told myself. Standing up, I stretched my wings out. Man that felt good.

I covered my eyes as I stepped outside, breathing in the fresh air. It's been weeks since I felt this good. I looked around the area as best I could from my place on the bunker roof. Good, nobody was around. I launched myself into the air, the familiar feeling of air under my wings washed my anxiety away.

The sun on my pale face and the cool air rushing past me was amazing. I flew over an ocean of red, orange, yellow, and some green tinted leaves. I was able to spot patches of the yellowing grass beneath the trees. I loved this change in the world. All the colors molding and shifting into a new world for a few months and then shifting once again. Yes, I loved all the seasons but, nothing was like autumn.

I flipped onto my back so my face was towards the sky. The sight before me had brilliant blues coating it all with a few wispy clouds here and there. I smiled at the peace I was feeling. If only I knew how fast that would go away...

Within moments a sharp pain washed over my left leg. I cried out and plummeted to the ground beneath me. This can't be happening. No, no no no no no! I hit the floor with a loud thud, the air escaping my lungs. "Such a pity, a beautiful thing like you being an utter nuisance to the world."

I look up to spot emerald eyes staring into mine. A forest of red hair with grey strands littering the area bringing the hair down into a facial mask. That's......that's Roman's dad. His dad is a hunter!? My crush's dad is a hunter. And he has me in his hands. I tried to get up and run, but my leg jolted more pain up the limb. I screamed from the pain and collapsed.

He laughed at me and pulled my hair, to raise my head,"You can't get away now. Your mine," he cackled into my ear. Tears made their way down my paled cheeks, my heart going a million miles a minute. I couldn't let my life end like this. I have to live for mom.

"N-no!" I yelled jabbing my elbow into his stomach.

"Ah! What the hell!?" he shouted at my sudden action. I ran despite the pain coursing through me. "Come back here you little shit!" Roman's dad bellowed.

I kept going, ignoring the loud screeches from the old man and the pain. I folded my massive wings behind me, hoping to increase my speed. I passed trees, shrubs and other objects I didn't pay attention to, until I screamed as I felt something in my leg pop. After I collapsed to the dirt coated ground I look to see my foot bent at a crooked angle. My eyes widened in panic as I heard Roman's father come closer. My breathing was fast and my heart pounding so hard it might burst out of me. I turn around at a rough voice, slightly out of breath. "There you are."

Then I saw black.
