Felix's P.O.V.
I land on the small platform, careful not to fall off as I sit down. The usual boys were there, laughing about a stupid joke. I hated them, knowing I should be part of them because I'm high in the ranks but I'm different. I don't like to be a snob.

Someone climbed up to the platform making me turn to Peter. Peter was a friend who grew up with me. My nest was close to the village he lived and we would spend time together when his parents were off somewhere. I hand him a little bag of berries which he takes, hiding them. I'm not allowed to steal food but the village is in hard times and Peter needs them for his family. My father-the chief- allows Peter to come here but he needs to swear to not say a word to anyone else.

"Thanks. It's good to know that there are some good people in this world."

"Of course. You're all I have left." I answer truthfully. 

"Don't get all crazy on me now." We look down at the boys, seeing they were picking on someone. My senses were now on high already since I knew her. I open my wings, ready to interfere. "Felix don't do it. They're just a load of crap." Peter warms. I ignore him, jumping off the platform and gliding down to them, beating my wings in front of me to slow me down as I land.

"Let her go, Sam!" I snap. The five boys all turn to look at me, turning away from the girl as she ran off to the tunnels, flying in before they could follow her. The leader looked at me, scoffing. His horns alone were tall enough to pierce through your skin, not too thick, they looked like you could snap them off but they were strong, I've seen what he can do with them. His wings were wide, big enough to push you back. He wasn't to be messed with, but I've had enough.

"And what are you going to do, Felix? Hide behind your big brother like the coward you are?" Sam gets closer to me. I stand my ground, opening my wings slightly in anger.

"I'm not afraid of you, Sam." I snarl. The boys chuckled, whispering about bets.

"But you should be." He growls. In a split second he was on the ground, the boys in shock I just punched their leader. I glance at Peter who hid in the shadows, know they would go after him if they knew I was here. Sam glared at me, getting to his feet as he tried to punch me back but I block him.

Before I knew it, the two of us went into a full out fight, wings tangled in wings, horns clattering, fists colliding. I hear the other boys now take teams, cheering us on. Something scraped past my eye, causing me to fall back. Sam tried attacking me again but something flew in front of us to keep him back.

"Alright stop it the both of you!" The voice of my big brother echoes through the cave. "Felix get back to the house, Mom wants you." He looked back at me, seeing you he gash. "Hey you alright?" I get to my feet.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I growl, opening my wings and flying down the tunnel, heading back to my home. As I get there, I land in the kitchen.

"There you are. I sent Borra looking for you an hour ago. Where were you?" My mother asked, panicked as she walked over to me. "Felix what happened!" She sees me, taking my hand off my eye.

"It's nothing. Just Sam." I mutter as she sighs.

"Mom we need to go, now!" Borra suddenly flew into the home. Both me and my mother turned to my brother.

"Borra what's going on?" I ask.

"People, they've found us." My brother said.

"Ah!" I turn to my bother to see her suddenly on the ground, a metal arrow in her abdomen.
