My life changed forever the day I found him, half dead, and covered in horrifying old and new scars alike; the winged man. He was so beaten and terrified... I couldn't just leave him there, so...I took him home with me. I did my best to coax him out of his shell, but I think there's something he's not telling me, something besides what happened to him...
Why was he trapped when I found him? Why can he hardly speak? Why was he so scared of people? He was so scarred I swore he might have been tortured... How did he get those scars?
Who did this to him? What could they do to me; what WOULD they do to me if they found out how close Raven and I are getting? And...what would they do to get him back?

I feel something slam into me, knocking the breath from my lungs. Only it is not the car that hits me; it is a person. He takes the brunt of the fall, rolling under me so that my face does not brush the street, but the force of the impact knocks me out of his arms and I skid across the asphalt into the grass. The car speeds past, flying down the road before disappearing on a turn. I wait in agony until my lungs finally work, and then I roll onto my back and gasp for air.
"Are you okay?" Liam's voice is frantic as he crawls toward me. He cups my face in his hands and checks my body for injuries. This time I know I am not imagining things.
There are dark wings coming out of his back.
I sputter a few fragmented sentences before I can get the words out.
"What are you?"
