Yoongis POV:

I woke up from the sound of distant chatter.
It took me a few seconds until I remembered what happened. Worried about if the other angels where alright, I wanted to get up, but an immediate pain shot into my back... right there where my wings were supposed to be. I reached out for the aching spot and felt something wet. The second I realized that it was blood, I also noticed the pounding in my chest, which became faster and faster. All of this got me concerned.The fact that I was asleep; felt pain; bled; had a heartbeat... That's not what angels do.

I pulled myself together and got up from the ground. It was the middle of a field, but I soon spotted Jin, Hoseok and Jungkook standing a couple meters away, near the edge of a forest.
„Thank god...", I said to myself, happy that they seemed to be alive and about the realization that I wasn't alone. Were I even allowed to say this? Thank god?
I slowly walked over to the other angles until Hoseok saw and moved towards me.
„I'm glad you made it.", he said smiling as we met halfway.
My heart skipped a beat. Also a new feeling. „Did someone not make it?" I thought about Taehyung and Jimin. The way Raziel let them disappear was violent and different to how he sent the rest of us to earth.
But my question was unnecessary...

„Don't blame us alone!!!" Taehyungs voice sounded loud from behind Hoseoks back. „You guys were here too and it's not like we forced you!"
I looked over Hoseoks shoulder and saw that Taehyung stood between Jimin and Namjoon, who looked not happy at all. In fact it seemed like he was ready to attack Taehyung. And I was right.
„But you came up with the idea and look what happened to us!", he shouted and pushed Taehyung so hard that he fell to the ground. But that wasn't enough for Namjoon. Before Taehyung had the chance to get up again, Namjoon bowed down and placed one of his knees on Taehyungs chest.
„You and your stupid ideas... I should have known that it would only get us in trouble." He lifted his fist. „Are you happy now? Being on earth, the place that you love so much?"
„Oh no...", I sighed and ran over to them. I got there just in time to hold Namjoons arm, before his fist could crash on Taehyung.
„Stop it!!", I shouted and was surprised how strong Namjoon seemed to be, since I had trouble holding him back. Or maybe I was just weak?
Taehyung whined under Namjoons pressure he put onto his body, but he also was too weak to have a chance against him. Only as soon as Jin came to help me, we managed to pull Namjoon away.
„What is wrong with you, Namjoon?" Jimin who observed the whole scene was in shock.
Namjoon couldn't calm down.
„What's wrong with me?", he asked angry. „What is wrong with you?!"
„No, Jimin is right." Jin interrupted him. „Just Imagine what could have happened if you kept going. You would have beaten the hell out of him. Is it want you want? To see Taehyung on the floor covered in blood?".
I looked over to Taehyung and gasped. For a split second I could see the picture Jin just described. Taehyung laying on the ground, his clothes soaked with blood. Eyes swollen and with cuts all across his face. I could see it so clearly that I was even more confused, when I saw him sitting there, totally fine again.
„Did... Did you guys see that?", I stuttered, but only looked into the blank faces of the others.
„What are you talking about?" Namjoon switched to his angry expression again and shook his head. The other guys didn't seem to know what I meant either, so I dropped my question. „Nevermind."
Did I go crazy?
I knew what I saw, but it was like I was the only one.
While Namjoon and Taehyung picked up their argument again, I asked myself what just happened. Why did I see this scenario? And why the others didn't?
„Yoongi, are you alright?" Hoseok asked worried while laying a hand on my shoulder. „What did you see?"
A little struck went through my body as soon as he touched me and I looked at him, totally confused.
„Huh?"
Hoseoks face mirrored my confusion. „What did you see?"
„What.. what do you mean? I didn't see anything?", I replied and shrugged my eyebrows.
Hoseok let out a little laugh. „Yoongi, are you joking? You just asked ‚Did you guys see that' and then you seemed to be totally confused by it?"
„I... I can't remember asking that."
Now it was Hoseok who shrugged his eyebrows. „You did... and you really can't remember?"
I shook my head. „No..."

At this point I didn't know what was going on anymore. I sunk to the ground, pulled my knees tightly to my body and rested my head on them. My head was aching and so did my back. I didn't know if I was still bleeding and right now I didn't even care. Why did I feel exhausted? Why did I feel tired? Why did I feel sad, angry and anxious? Why did I suddenly feel so much? This was so overwhelming...

Everyone acted so differently since yesterday. Namjoon for expample... I never saw him angry before. Jimin started to become rebellious, just as Taehyung. He never was the type to talk back that much or search for confrontation. His behavior earlier in front of Raziel wasn't him at all. Jin was... I don't know. I couldn't really point out what exactly was different about him, but there clearly was something off. Hoseok was, in comparison to the others, the most normal to how he was usually. Still, there was this weird feeling inside of me. But there was this one thing that literally scared me. It was Jungkook. I realized it just now and looked over to him. He was standing there, a little bit a far from us, just staring. While everyone seemed to be full of emotions, Jungkook had a cold look in his eyes. And something else was unlike him... he barely talked. Jungkook was, along with Hoseok, one of the most bubbly and talkative angels I knew. Something definitely was wrong here.

Suddenly I felt alone. While everyone was either fighting or doing nothing at all, my heart got heavy.
Heaven isn't your home anymore...
Raziels words repeated in my head over and over again. And without realizing it, I started to cry. I cried so much that eventually the other angels stopped their fight and gathered around me, not knowing what to do.
„Yoongi, why... why are you crying?" Hoseoks voice was filled with worry.
Namjoon shook his head. „No. The question is, why can he cry?"
And he was right. Angels weren't able to cry. Actually angels had no kind of strong emotions at all. That's why everything that was happening felt incredibly wrong.

„It's because he is human now." A strange, yet familiar voice behind us answerd Namjoons question. „Like all of you."
„Simon? What are you doing here?", Taehyung asked and hearing this name ripped me out of my emotional outbreak. I slowly turned around to take a look at the man we talked to yesterday evening when we went to earth.
„Oh I forgot... I'm sorry.", he said quite amused. „Simon is not my real name. Let me introduce myself correctly. My name is Foras. And I'm a recruiter from hell."
