Chapter 21
Idk anymore. All the songs I want to put are either way too sad for the chappie, or I just....can't. Song is Faded by Alan Walker. P.S. sorry about the rant down below! Read plz.....if you can handle it.....
Sera
I quickly head back to my room, before either of them see me. I hope they think I'm still sleeping. I'm mad that Ryan's door was locked. If it was open, I could've used something to contact my family or friends.
Right as I hop into bed, my left shoulder blade starts to feel weird.
"What the...?" I mutter, feeling like it's clenching inwards.
It doesn't hurt, but it feels super weird. My other blade starts as well, and a warm feeling starts to spread from those two points.
"What the heck?!" I ask myself, feeling my legs start to tingle.
My arms follow as well, until my whole body from head to toe is tingling.
This is so freaking weird? Is this me... oh no. I'm changing! This cannot be happening! I don't want to change! No!
Too late. I feel really warm, almost like I'm burning, and then it's suddenly gone. In its place, a strange weight is placed on each side of my back, right in between my shoulder blades.
I glance behind me to catch a glimpse of some green, shimmery material.
"What the...?"
I suddenly feel the weight being flexed and I get a full view of what's behind me. It scares me so much, I fall off my bed, resulting in a loud thump. Turning my to my left, I see my new body part. A shimmery and green wing flaps in the air, translucent and magestic.
I jolt up to my feet, but I don't actually land on my feet. Instead, my new wings flap downwards, causing me to float upwards, hitting the ceiling.
"Ow."
This is insane. I'm a freaking bird now!
"Sera?!" A voice asks, pounding on my door.
I gasp, keeping quiet afterwards. The pounding increases, until the door flies completely off its hinges, echoing with a loud bam.
Drake runs in, followed by a grim-looking Ryan.
"Sera? Woah, your wings look amazing," Ryan murmurs.
I scowl. They both look up at me, in complete silence. Drake, who's taller than Ryan, tries to grab my hand, but I draw it away. My wings take me backwards, making me hit the window. Wait... a window! I can escape.
"Sera, we're not going to hurt you. Please come over here?" Drake pleads softly, keeping his hand out.
I place my hands behind me, finding the lock to the window. I start to play around with it, until I hear a soft click. Drake and Ryan snap their heads to where they heard the click.
"Serafina, what are you doing?" Ryan says lowly.
Using my hands, I slowly pull up the window, turn around, and fly right out, feeling the wind by my ankle where Drake almost caught me.
"Woah," I cry, bobbing around in the air a bit.
"Serafina Cara Davidson, get back here!" Drake shouts, sounding like Jace a bit.
I giggle a bit, but back away more in the air. I'm starting to actually get control of my wings. Willing them to propel me backwards, I turn around, and slowly fly away.
"This is so cool!" I scream to them, before flying off.
Now to find Quinn.
Drake
"She did it!" Ryan shouts with joy, doing a random, weird dance.
"Yeah," I breathe.
I turn back around to see Ryan grinning like an idiot.
"What?" I ask him.
"Once she finds Quinn, they can kill those siblings, and we can tell her the truth! We're so close!" He beams, his dark grey eyes sparkling a bit.
I've never actually seen them so alive until now. Ever since he changed, he's always had a dark cloud in his already dark eyes. It pained me to know one of my best friends was so sad. I knew, though, that he would be happy again soon, but I just couldn't bear to see it then. Now he's finally happy, and it makes my heart swell with joy as well.
"Well, now she has to actually learn to use her abilities. I'll help however I can, though I'm sure Sera won't let me go near her now that she sees how friendly we are. You're going to have to stall those Atlas and Astraea, though."
He nods.
"I know. I will try."
"Let's hope she gets home," I murmur, before closing the window.
Sera
After a few minutes of flapping around, I hear a howl, though it's extremely weak. I recognize it though, and grin, using my wings to soar down into the trees.
"Ooph!" I yelp when I hit a bunch of trees.
As soon as I land, I'm crushed by a warm hug, that sends sparks through my whole body.
"My Angel!" Quinn sighs, burying his face into my neck.
"Quinn."
He pulls away, keeping me at arm's length.
"How'd you escape?" He asks, starting to pull me through the forest.
"I changed today, opened a window, and tried to fly out. I managed, but it was hard."
"Oh, I'm just glad you're safe in my arms again."
"Where are Jace and them?" I ask.
"They're at the pack house. Everyone else is resting."
"Resting?"
"Yeah. When the sorcerers attacked, they put all our wolves but mine in a comatose state. Mine wasn't because I didn't shift when they attacked."
"Oh."
"Come on, we need to get you home."
I nod, following him up the pathway to the house.
When we get there, I'm crushed by more hugs.
"Guys, you're hurting me!" I gasp.
"Sorry!" Violet squeaks.
They all step away, but Jace gasps when he sees my wings.
"You changed, " he murmurs.
"Yeah. I did."
He smiles, tears filling his eyes. He rushes up to me and hugs me again, squeezing me tight right below my wings.
"Serafina! Oh, you changed! You look so beautiful!" Kristine gasps, coming.
She looks dead: her eyes are dull and lifeless, her hair matted up and unkempt. Under her eyes there are large black bags, and her skin is pale and pulled tight over her face.
"Mrs. Harris! What happened?" I ask.
She sighs, her eyes filling up with tears.
"What happened? And where's Alpha Harris?"
She suddenly breaks into a sob, crumpling to the floor. Quinn rushes to her, soothingly stroking her back.
"Wh-what's wrong? Did something happen to Alpha Harris?"
"H-he... died. Rick's dead," she sobs.
"What?! H-how?" I ask, feeling tears sting my eyes.
I liked - no, loved - Alpha Harris. He was like my father. The father I never really got to have.
"The sorcerers killed him when he was waking up. Weak, he couldn't stop them from ripping out his heart. They almost killed more, but Quinn chased them off," Kristine explains, sobbing in between her story.
"I'm so sorry."
"It's fine. It wasn't your fault, anyway," she mumbles, dabbing at her eyes.
"I know, but I still feel responsible."
She stands up tall again, wiping away some stray mascara, and smiles lightly.
"You must be starving. Come one let's get you some food. How does a nice grilled chees sound?" She says to me, walking towards the kitchen.
"Um, yes, please."
My whole family leaves before me, while I stay behind, lost in thought. I hear footsteps behind me, and feel a warm body pressed up lightly against me, wary of my wings. I know who it is by the soft tingles flowing down my body.
"Quinn? Are you okay?"
"I am now that you're here, Angel."
I smile lightly, leaning back into him.
"Quinn, will the sorcerers kill you all?"
"No. We'll destroy them before they can even lay a finger on anyone."
I hope so.
Wow, I just read the last full paragraph while writing this A/N, and I'm like, "What was I thinking with this entire BOOK?"
Like, seriously............wow. I just......this was in that couple month-long period where I was like, really into werewolf stuff. It gives me cringe attacks (reference to a person right there try to get it! Hint: it's a youtuber and someone I put in earlier chappies via pics. GET IT RIGHT FIRST AND U GET THIS CHAPPIE DEDICATED TO YA) every time I even think of that time.
QUESTION TIME: What's your favorite music genre?
My Answer: Well, if it wasn't obvious by my music choices for chapters, I love indie/rock/alternative/kinda pop (not really)/anime music (pretty recent). Yeah, it's a huge ol' mix that multiple songs can fit in as more than one of those (did that even make sense?)
Idk what I'm talking about anymore. I'm sick. I've been acting half high all day and I practically aged back to when I was five or something mentally. I'm still all loopy now.
ANYWHOO, OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. IK THIS IS LIKE, REALLY LATE, BUT THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR GETTING ME TO #599 IN WEREWOLF. IT MIGHT NOT BE MUCH, BUT HONESTLY, IT'S SO HUGE FOR ME. I've been so excited all week! I kept going in and out of being on the list period, and now I'm just slowly climbing up! THANK YOU THANK YOU THAAAAAANNNKKK YOUUUUUUUU.
I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH..........see? I'm still all loopy.......this was long
