The touch was electric, possessive. I could feel the eyes of other girls on me, on his hand on me, and a thrill of victory shot through me.

He managed to grab onto the edge of the rocky surface, clinging for dear life. I grabbed his hand and started pulling up. We all grabbed a part of his body, hauling him up when a gust of wind hit us and knocked us back. I couldn’t hold my grip on him and I heard his scream as he plummeted. I closed my eyes. Unable to comprehend what the hell just happened. “What was that?” Joel roared at Gabriel. “Now, now, settle down. There were simply too many of you. Be prepared.

It only cares about our destruction.” Nathan clenched his fists,“How can I trust you after all this time?

Zach snickered. "Then why aren't you there?" Keira smiled. "I was hungry, figured missing one practice would be fine. I mean I am the best one on the team, I need to give them time to catch up..." He laughed. I smiled at the pair thinking they would be an adorable couple. Keira glanced at me through her thick eyelashes, as if she needed help to talk to him. I have her a shrug and she rolled her eyes, as if we were having a private conversation. "Subtle guys..." Sophie broke the silence and we all laughed. The bell rang signalling the end of lunch, Keira and I headed towards the gym for PE, just as we reached the door it was swung open and I felt a sharp pain as I walked into what felt like a

His wings still out, tensed, and ready, the rest of us holding our weapons. He moved so fast I didn’t even see him. Sliding past the others as fluid as water going around rocks in a stream he came for me, I felt his arm snag my waist and my feet left the Earth. I heard Devon’s shots fire and Kenneth soared into the air in pursuit. Cassi let out a scream and I heard the others calling my name as we ascended, until they were just specks. Kenneth closing in, aiming his crossbow at Shamshiel’s wings, his purple wings beating as he tried desperately to keep up, his face contorted in anguish as he realized he would not be able to help me. In the blink of an eye Shamshiel closed his wings around us

Using one hand, clamped my arms on top of my head and used his free one to tickle my sides making me burst into uncontrollable laughter. "Please...stop...Leo..." I said between laughs, trying to wiggle out of his grasp. I brought my legs which were tucked under him and took this as an opportunity to straddle him.
