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. '๐ ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ,' 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 '๐๐ฏ๐จ๐ฆ๐ญ, ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ถ๐ฑ, ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฏ'๐ต ๐ด๐ข๐ง๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ,' 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. '๐๐ฏ๐จ๐ฆ๐ญ ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ฆ, ๐ญ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฎ๐ฆ, ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐จ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ช๐ง ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐บ ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ, ๐ง๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ช๐ฏ๐ฏ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ท๐ฆ.' 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, '๐๐ฐ๐ฏ'๐ต ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ง๐ณ๐ข๐ช๐ฅ'. 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, '๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ช๐ด๐ฏ'๐ต ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅ.' 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.
