Chapter 20 - Appearance

Angel was not in a good mood. She hadn't seen Finn all morning and it was starting to worry her, what if he didn't come back? She couldn't think about that, because it would mean accepting that he doesn't want to travel with her anymore and that was a hard pill to swallow.

She decided to divert her attention to other matters, like where they were going and what they were doing. '𝘈𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶,' the voice had returned.

Angel rolled her eyes "Shut up." She said, a warm sound floated through her head which she could only assume was a laugh. "I really am going crazy," she muttered to herself. '𝘕𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵.' the voice spoke up. Angel groaned and rubbed her face, "but you're not real!" She shouted into the still morning air. A cough came from behind her, Angel spun around in surprise.

"Uh, you okay there?" Finn raised his eyebrows at her, Angel scoffed and crossed her arms "I'm perfectly fine, thank you very much." Her cheeks were stained with a red blush of embarrassment.

She looked up at Finn's eyes "where were you last night?" She questioned him. Finn coughed again and turned away slightly "I was scoping out the area, ya know, making sure we're in the right place and all that." The voice spoke up again, from the back of Angel's mind '𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘭𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶'. Angel didn't trust the voice quite yet, but she wanted to test if it was right or not, she took a deep breath and glared at Finn.

"You're lying to me! I can't believe you, why are you lying?" She demanded, Finn looked at her with a shocked stare. "How'd you know?" he said, then waved his hands at her "er, what no, I mean, I wasn't lying!" He raised his voice slightly, trying to convince her, but Angel just shook her head at him. "You literally just admitted it, now tell me, where were you really?"

Finn started walking the other way, then he stopped a little way down the field and faced Angel again "you really want to know?" He shouted, Angel had an uneasy feeling in her stomach at those words, but she nodded anyway "Of course!" She shouted back.

Then something she couldn't imagine even in her worst nightmares happened, Finn transformed into a monster. His bones cracked and crunched and ground together, she thought his other form had been ugly, but this one was terrifying, his bat ears were huge and thin, like giant pointy satellite dishes, his face was twisted and deformed, his nose was a flattened stub with two slits for nostrils. His eyes were curved and ginormous, he was staring right at her, she looked up at him in shock and awe. He was bigger than the average house and his wings rose above his head, tiny clawed hands reached out from them, Angel watched in fascination as the claws clacked together, they could surely rip a building apart.

Angel watched as Finn tucked his spindly clawed legs underneath him and nestled into the grass, she was scared, but also intrigued, and if she was being honest with herself, Angel thought he looked kinda cute, but of course she wouldn't admit that.

Finn looked at her expectantly, waiting for a horrified reaction, but Angel only smiled "you look like a fluffy cat," she said. Finn blushed bright red, he definitely wasn't expecting that. Then his expression got serious "this isn't the only thing I had to show you, we need to talk about last night."
