It wasn't an angel. It had wings like one, but these wings were pitch black. The creatures back was to me, so I could see all the black veins scrawled across his back, leading from his wings. There was this horrifying snarling noise coming from his direction and I couldn't help but hear whimpering and moaning. A heavy cloak of dread washed over me as I realized that it was eating something. I tried to make any noise as I backed away slowly, but it noticed and turned around to face me. When he turned, I saw that there were tears mixed with blood streaming down his face. His eyes were just as dark as his wings which caused me to jump. He dropped what he was holding and put his hands on his face as if he didn't want me to see it. There was a small moaning sound coming from whatever it was that he had dropped. It sounded seriously in pain before it just instantly stopped and here we were- staring at each other in deadly silence. "Melody... No." I could barely hear as the thing whispered my name. I didn't feel scared, I just felt off. "W-what?" "Why? Of all the people- why you." It didn't come out as a question, it came out as a statement of anger. "What do you mean?" He was in front of me now and I could smell the sickly-sweet smell of blood radiating from him. "Why the fuck are you here, Melody?" "I-I don't know. I woke up here." I tried to back away a little more and his face softened before he reached his hand out for me. There were black veins spiraling all along his hand, which confused me even more. "Who are you?" He retracted his hand and put his head down, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." "You can't know what I believe unless you give me something to work with." I tilted my head to the side and huffed. He sounded familiar and warm, but he looked terrifying. "Who are you and why am I here? Where is here, by the way?" He chuckled and smiled, shaking his head. "I cannot tell you who I am, but you are in the forest."

In the beginning, there was death. The darkness flows from hues of purple and orange, the moon rising to kiss the sun's rays one last time as the darkest cloud of night I've ever seen falls over our tiny haven. I catch Will's face from the side of my vision and my heart tightens slightly. The tick of his jaw wouldn't be noticeable for anyone but me. His best friend, his lifeline. A solemn tear forms in my eye as he wipes his face, another tear falling for the family he lost. I love him. Utterly and desperately so, but, there's nothing I can do about that. The ultimate forbidden fruit, if you will. I reach to comfort him and he doesn't respond. I open my mouth to speak and he looks my way, but the gleam in his dark brown eyes hits the moonlight just right and I fall. My voice escapes my throat and I can't do it. I've tried for years to tell him. 10 years, actually. All this time, I hopelessly remained devoted to a ghost who had given the best of himself to a fiery red-head with a sassy personality and the body of a supermodel. For 10 years, I held to the desperate thought that maybe, just maybe, he'd be someone I could count on. Instead, I watched him marry my best friend, smiled as they welcomed their son. Stood, holding that beautiful boy as his mother was in the first round of executions after the beginning of the Revelation. Helped heal Will's wounds in the aftermath. Cried, clutching the tear-stained shirt of my best friend as his son took his last staggering breath in that first harsh winter. The guilt of my emotions crawl through me. My heart twisting in regret, guilt, desperation, and grief. I loved my best friend. She was so much more than that; she was my family. In this dystopian quick read, join a group of people desperate to recapture their freedom and end a tyrant's reign.
