There was a girl sitting in front of a desk in what looked like a college dorm. The moonlight was bleeding in through the window beside her desk, lighting up the room. Making it easier for her to study.
She looked quite diligent while she studied. She was a top student who usually studied all through the night, but she suddenly stopped.
"Urg, I'm finally done!" The girl said while throwing her arms up, stretching.
She closed the open book in front of her, stood up and walked to her bathroom. She grabbed a toothbrush and started to brush her teeth while looking into the mirror.
In the mirror, there was a girl with slightly tanned skin, burnette hair, and green eyes. Her nose was small with a nice pair of cherry colored lips under it. She was over all really cute. Her figure was on the slimmer side, but it was nothing to be embarrassed about. At least she had an above average size of "you know what."
After she got done brushing her teeth, she flashed the mirror a cute smile.
"You can do it, Emi, just a little more!" Emi said to herself for encouragement.
She then jumped into the shower. She didn't spend too much time in it because she needed to quickly get to sleep. After getting out, she took her towel and dried off. Then, quickly changed into pajamas.
She walked out of the bathroom and jumped onto her bed, feeling refreshed after her shower. She closed her eyes, trying to go to sleep.
'I have a big test tomorrow, one that might decide my entire life. I have to ace it!' Emi thought. She then slowly drifted off to sleep.
***
She suddenly awoke from her sleep, a little groggy. A slimy sound was coming from her left. She didn't open her eyes right away. She wanted to ignore it and go back to sleep. So she turned on her side away from the sound.
But she realized that her bed felt a lot like she was lying on the ground with grass prickling her skin. It was then that she shivered from the cold wind blowing past her.
"Wait." she said under her breath, really confused.
She opened her eyes to only see the night sky with a forest resting under it. Her brain was trying to work out how she got here. She had no idea where she was.
Emi tried to sit up right away. She finally sat up, she realized that her body felt incredibly numb and her chest was heavier than before. Looking down she realized that she was naked.
"My tan is gone!" Her tan was completely gone. Replaced by white pale skin.
Emi frowned as she grabbed her chest. They were really soft. She could feel that they were definitely bigger, too.
'So I'm in a forest, I don't know how to get back, and to top it off, I'm in a body I don't even think is mine, while naked. Well, at least my skin is much smoother than before. But this is probably a dream, though, right?' she was in deep thought when she heard it again, like slime rolling around on the ground.
She looked over with a frown still on her face. She was kind of in the middle of something here, you know. The usual brake down and all. But after seeing it, she blanked.
She foze in shock. She didn't know what she was looking at. But she was able to calm herself down, so many things were happening at once. It was all so confusing, but looking at it as one problem, not multiple made it easier.
She then stood up. The numbness subsided a little by the time she stood up. After standing up, she slowly walked away from the slime. Yeah, that's right, it was a slime and a smelly one at that. It was a snoty green, the smell was comparable to a rotting body, and it was disgusting.
The smell was slowly but surely dissipating as she walked away from it. When she couldn't smell it anymore, she felt much better and could relax a little. As she walked, she tried checking herself out.
She could see at the corner of her eye that her hair looked like a different color. She grabbed some strands and started looking at it. It was a little coarse from neglect.
"Well, good news is I like the color white." Well, having white hair usually means you're graying.
'Maybe I'm fifteen or sixteen, though?' She was slightly embarrassed to be smaller than a girl that seemed to be 7 years younger than her.
"Errrr, this doesn't matter!" Emi said as she put her hands on her head, feeling she was going to go crazy, only to feel something protruding from her head.
"Huh?" The sound that came out of her mouth seemed like it contained her soul, as she felt like she lost it.
She started pulling at the horns on her head, hoping they were not a part of her but merely just really really realistic horns that you would wear on Halloween or something.
"They aren't coming off." Emi said, almost bursting into tears.
"Calm down, Emi, calm down." She said while taking deep breaths.
She started to calm down. But that's when she felt it. Her numbness was barely there now. She could feel her entire body now, and that included something on her back.
"More, huh?" She said, being too out of it to react.
She reached back and graded one of them. It felt extremely soft. She could feel herself touching them through the limbs themselves.
She tried focusing on them. She thought that she could move them. So, like any person with a good curious bone in their body, she tried to. She spread them as far as she could.
"So that's what it was. I do have to admit, their beautiful." She said, looking at the feathery wings that were spread out to her sides.
In front of her were beautiful feathers. Her wings had soft, pure white feathers that would slightly glow in the moonlight. She ran her hand through them and found that they were the softest things she had ever felt.
Her wing span was just as tall as her body, for each wing. She folded them in front of her to get a better look.
"There so soft!" Emi continued to rub her hands on them. They were just too soft. It was addictive. It was then she got a brilliant idea.
'Can I fly?' As she had this thought, suddenly a screen flashed in front of her. She was surprised, but this lacked luster compared to the other things she had seen. Not knowing what else to think, she started to read it.

"Clothes!" Emi's eyes were practically glowing.
She so wanted to wear something, she was not some freak that liked being naked. She felt cold and uncomfortable.
"Wait, wait, wait! That's not important, what is this?" She said, feeling her focus was to scattered.
She started to think about it. She has read about these things in novels, she wasn't entirely clueless. What she didn't know was if she was really in a novel fantasy world, I mean slimes? It was obvious she was never going back.
"This is a future problem." After saying that Emi threw it to the back of her head, she didn't want to think about this. Because if it was real, it would mean bad things. She might never see her family again.
"It's too bad. I have to fly naked." She said this while spreading her wings outwards.
She had to learn to fly. She couldn't dawdle. She couldn't think while being naked, too uncomfortable. Suddenly, she could feel something. She felt incredibly excited.
'Is this the instinct the system was talking about?' She held her wings horizontally and lifted them high into the air. She then started flapping her wings slowly. She wanted to get used to it.
She slowly lifted herself off the ground, kind of in an unstable way, though. She was little all over the place. But she was patient. she went a little higher with each second. She was slowly getting the hang of it.
To fly felt incredibly calming and relaxing.
By the time she fully got used to it, she was above the trees. The sky was beautiful. The sky was clean, with no pollution to be seen. Were Emi came from, in the city's, the sky was usually grey and dull, full of pollution. She was sad that the world came to that, but she wasn't going to waste her time trying to save something that she couldn't save alone.
She shook her head, trying to clear her mind. She then leaned forward and started to glide while flapping her wings to keep altitude. As she was flying forward, she felt incredibly cold, well, she was still naked. She swore that she was getting those clothes.
Flying above the trees, it was a good Vantage point. She could see all around her. She felt so free to be able to fly.
She spread her arms out along her wingspan. She could feel the wind pass through her hands. The way the wind flowed under her wings and through her feathers was a mysterious feeling.
She wanted to try and land next. She thought it was one of the most important aspects of flying. Who would want to crash into the ground. When a plane crashed, it was likely that all the passengers were dead with few exceptions.
So she started to descend a little bit by softening her flaps. She would go down a little and then hover for a second in between. Before she knew it, she was already close to the ground. But before she could get close enough to the ground, a strong wind suddenly came at her, making her fall.
"AHHHHHH!" Now she wasn't screaming because she fell, but because of what she fell on. She had fallen on something that was squishy, gooey, smelt like a rotting corpse, and green.
