Angel had to get away, tears fell down her face in fat droplets as she ran "why did I kiss him?" A sob broke apart her words, "of course he was disgusted!" Angel felt betrayed by her own mind, she was thinking nothing and everything as she jumped the fence by the field. She was aiming for the forest, knowing Finn would not follow.
Curling up in the soft moss underfoot a tree, Angel cried softly, she cried for herself, for her parents who were surely worried about her, and for the home she had lost in RavenHill. Now she had nowhere to belong and no idea who she was. '𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦,' the voice soothed her mind, it calmed her slightly, even if she was crazy, at least she had the voice.
She stared up into the trees, wishing she could be anywhere but where she was now. She was exhausted, tired of running, and constantly moving around from place to place, she just wanted to go home.
The exhaustion got to her, her eyelids felt heavy and her eyes were sore from crying, she sank into the moss and closed her eyes, willing sleep to take her away for a while.
It was the voice that woke her up many hours later '𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭, 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘱, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦,' it was soft and melodious, like a bell chiming in her mind. Angel burrowed further into the moss, trying to retreat into her dreams, but the voice wasn't having that. '𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦, 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦, 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦.' It spoke with urgency, waking Angel up properly almost immediately, she glanced around blearily and rubbed her eyes.
There was rustling and a snarling in the bushes behind the tree, making Angel shrink into herself, even more. Every inch of her body was screaming at her to run, but she couldn't. She was rooted to the spot, frozen until she saw it. Horrid black eyes with sharp teeth and long claws, its face was wrinkled and worn, like the bottom of someone's foot, the monster had twisted horns protruding out of its face and warts on its neck. It stared at her, revelling in the fear in her eyes, then something strange happened...
Angel lost control of her body, something else pushed to the front of her mind, it was warm, like a blanket being spread over her, '𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘥'. The voice said gently, now it was in the front of her mind she realized something she hadn't noticed before, it was a voice of a man, a soft and gentle voice for sure, but a man's voice nonetheless. Her body changed, she could feel something firm and bone-like growing out of her skull, but it did not hurt, it was almost an out-of-body experience. A thin tail curled from the bottom of her back to around her leg. Then there was pain, an aching pain, like a new tooth, growing, it came from her back.
Beautiful leathery wings grew, jagged in shape, ruby red, and glowing faintly in the night. Angel didn't even register the fact that she was flying until she was staring at the ground below her. The strangest part is the monster seemed to have disappeared, '𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥.' The voice sounded worried, but Angel smiled, sadness in her eyes "Don't worry, we'll be fine." Then she tumbled quietly from the sky, seemingly in relief.
