Chapter 1: The one with black wings
Childish laughter rang through the air, as the angel children played. Though there seemed to be one who sat on his own underneath some shade. His mother sighed as she went over to him. She could see tears sliding down his face, as he sat there motionless, oblivious to even his mother. She felt a deep pang of sadness when he glanced up at the others, longing clear on his face. She wrapped her beautiful white wings around him, bringing a light smile to his face. “Don’t worry about them; they’re just not used to seeing someone with black wings, that’s all!” His mother reassured. “Once they get used to it they’ll start playing with you!”
“Mom that isn’t the case…” He sulked quietly, making his mother frown. “Their parents said that since I have black wings that I must be evil… they said that ‘I should be disposed of before I can cause any harm…”
His mother eyes shone with sadness as she hugged her son. “Don’t worry about what they say; you still have me don’t you?” She asked, ruffling his hair.
“Yeah, I do…” He replied smiling happily…

“Vlad you’re going to be late for school!” Vlad’s mother tolled him, shaking him lightly. “Now get out of bed!”
“Why? Those jerks at school are evil…” Vlad mumbled cuddling up to his pillow.
“You know I don’t like it when you say that!” His mother expressed.
“Well, it’s what they call me!” Vlad retorted.
“Vlad… that’s why you’re better, remember?” His mother explained. “You don’t let it get to you and you don’t insult them… it’s what makes you better…”
“Fine, I’ll go to school…” Vlad finally gave in…

Vlad stared out at the other kids. They were all so happy and playful, but none of them seemed to like him. He cuddled his legs, trying to hide from all the taunts and cruelty of the other kids. He cried silently, wishing he didn’t have to come, when he felt someone’s hand ruffling through his hair. “So what’s your name?” The person asked.
“My name’s Vlad” Vlad introduced, turning around to see the person. “What’s your name?”
The person wore a black shirt and white pants with sneakers to match. “My name’s Dein” The stranger introduced himself. “So why are you up here on your own?”
“Because the other kids told me to go away…” Vlad explained, looking at the ground. “They say that since I’ve got black wings, I’m evil and then they beat me up and tell me to go away…”
“So why don’t you beat them up?” Dein suggested, a smile of mischief forming on his lips.
“Because mom says that if I do I’m just as bad as them…” Vlad told Dein, looking over to the other kids. “Besides, they’re so happy, why would I want to make them cry?”
“So that makes it right for them to beat you?” Dein asked, following Vlad’s gaze. “If you think like that then they’ll just keep on beating you…”
Vlad looked at Dein in astonishment. “They don’t care if you’re happy and they’ll think that you’re scared of them if you don’t do anything about it” Dein explained. “So, does them being happy really justify them picking on you?”
“I… I guess not…” Vlad agreed, thinking over what he had just heard. “But I’ll be just as bad as them if I make them unhappy won’t I?”
“No, you won’t be as bad as them, especially since they did it to you first…” Dein explained, looking back at Vlad. “Well, anyway do you want to hang out after school?”
“Re-really?” Vlad asked in astonishment, and smiled happily as Dein nodded. “Yeah, sure!”
“Great, so I’ll meet you near the front gate okay?” Dein asked happily.
“Yeah, good idea!” Agreed Vlad, smiling to himself happily. “I’ll see you then”
Dein smiled and walked off. Vlad noticed the glint of something in his eyes, and noticed that he wore glasses…

Vlad sat at the front gates, happily watching some butterflies. He had been waiting for half-an-hour, but he didn’t care. ‘Dein didn’t seem like one to lie, he must’ve gotten hold up’ He told himself. Some more kids ran by, scaring off the butterflies. Vlad frowned as he wondered why he was still waiting, when some kids walked up to him. “What is a stupid little curse like you waiting for?” The first one asked, looking down at him. “Bet the little jerk can’t even speak!”
The kid slapped him across the face, making tears come to Vlad’s eyes. “Oh, is the little curse going to cry?” He taunted, rubbing pretend tears off of his eyes. “You should be put down!”
The kid kicked him, causing Vlad to bend over in pain. “Heh, does the little curse actually ‘feel’ something?” Another one taunted, hitting Vlad. “Shouldn’t of left home should of he?”
Vlad rubbed his bruised arm, crying as they continued to hit him. “Adults won’t put him down will they?” One asked, hitting him in the stomach. “Because his mommy won’t let them, but mommies not here to stop us is she?”
Vlad gave a light cry, which was blocked out by his sobs of pain. “What’s that the little curse wants us to stop?” a fourth one taunted. “Well, that’s too bad because the little curse isn’t going to get a little gift is he?”
They laughed as they continued to beat him. “Hey leave him alone!” Someone yelled, jumping over the fence.
“And what’re you going to do if we don’t?” The first one mocked.
“Just this” The figure said, punching the guy in the gut.
The bullies seemed astonished at the kid, and decided to leave Vlad and gang up on him. One of them charged at him, receiving a swift kick to the gut, before collapsing winded on the ground. “Think you’re big and tough do ya?” Another asked angrily, brandishing his fist. “Well, we’re just going to have to teach him a lesson now won’t we?”
The bullies ganged up on him, yelling abuse at him, and charging at him. As they beat him Vlad realized it was Dein, and smiled as his friend stood up for him. “Heh, you’re ganging up on me and I’m the one who thinks he’s tough?” Dein taunted, as he took another punch to the gut. “Stupid little cowards…”
The bullies continued to beat Dein, until Dein was barely conscious. Vlad gave a light cry at seeing this and went to get up, when another bully knocked him back down. “What’re you going to do little curse?” The bully taunted, kicking Vlad. “You’re only going to make things worse for you’re friend!”
“Hey get you’re hands off my brother!” a nearby teen yelled at the bullies picking on Dein.
“Or you’ll what?” Another bully asked, clearly not having learnt his lesson as the teen hit him in the gut knocking him out.
“Now, any of you want to try it?” The teen asked.
The bullies seemed to think it over then went to surround the teen. They charged at the teen, each being knocked over by the powerful veer of his wings. “Now then, if you ever touch my little brother or his friend again, I’ll beat you to an inch of you’re life okay?!?!” The teen threatened, staring knives into them.
The bullies had taken enough and ran off, the majority either crying or trying to hide their tears. “Dein, why do you do that to yourself?” The teen asked walking over to Dein and ruffling through his hair.
“It’s not my fault! They attacked Vlad!” Dein stated, glaring at his older brother. “I can’t let them beat up my friends can I?!?!”
“I guess not…” Jake surrendered turning to Vlad. “So you’re this Vlad Dein won’t stop talking about? Well, I’m Dein’s brother Jake, nice to meet you.”
Vlad smiled. “Thanks for helping me…” Vlad thanked wiping blood off of his lip.
“Don’t worry about it! But, please don’t tell me that they beat you like that regularly?” Jake asked the worry clear in his eyes.
“Don’t worry, normally they can’t find me to do so!” Vlad stated, looking Jake full in the eyes. “They beat me like that because of my black wings…”
Jake then noticed his black wings and took a step-back. “Well, really it’s nothing to beat you over…” Jake explained, staring at the wings. “Though I will say they’re not natural, it doesn’t give them a right to beat you though…”
“See!” Dein shouted, pointing at his brother. “It doesn’t justify it!”
“Yeah, I guess…” Vlad agreed, turning to Dein. “So what’re we going to do?”
“Oh, yeah!” Dein realized. “Hey Jake, let’s go!”
“Okay, follow me!” Jake ordered, leading Dein and Vlad through a few street ways…

Vlad could only stare in amazement as he saw the city for the first time. He looked over to Dein, a question in his eyes, and smiled happily as Dein nodded. Jake motioned for them to follow him, and they went through a nearby cave. When they came out, Vlad cried in astonishment, as they came out right in the center of the city. “Here’s some money, do what you like with it.” Jake said, handing Dein some money and walking off. “I’m off to go see Jenna, see you!”
“Who’s Jenna?” Vlad asked, staring at the place that Jake had flown off from.
“She’s his girlfriend” Dein explained, looking around. “He always goes to see her while we’re here, so what do you want to do first?”
Vlad spun around, marveling at everything’s excellence, until he saw something that especially caught his attention. “Can we go to that?” Vlad asked, pointing at a nearby festival.
“Sure!” Dein agreed, buying two tickets for it. “Now what would you like to go on?”
“Ummm…” Vlad sighed as he spun around, until he saw a ride that made you hover in the air. “Can we go on that?
“Sure, I’ve been wanting to go on that but Jake won’t take me…” Dein explained, walking over to it. “So, what do you think about the city?”
“It’s amazing!” Vlad replied, enthusiastically following Dein into the ride. “Wow!”
Vlad got shot up into the air the second he got inside. He laughed as he just hung there. “Its fun isn’t it?” Dein asked, coming up behind him.
“It’s great!” Laughed Vlad, happily floating in the air.
Dein laughed along side him happily floating in the air beside him. After that they went on five more rides. Finally Vlad pointed to one last ride. “Are you sure? We’re out of money after this one” Dein reminded.
Vlad just smiled. “Fine, let’s go!” Dein ordered happily.
The ride was specially designed for angels, with straps for both their wings and their arms. Vlad laughed happily as it spun round and round and then started on a track, doing loops and downhill falls. He noticed a section coming up where apparently you were thrown 5 inches away from the other people on the ride. Vlad smiled happily, looking forward to it. All of sudden he got jolted straight up, adrenaline rushing through him; he saw the part coming up. He immediately felt the rush of excitement as it pulled him up; he smiled happily as he saw one of the other passenger’s was scared. The ride suddenly stopped, and Vlad felt a quick rush of fear, looking up to see what the problem was, however when he looked up he came face-to-face with a girl with brown hair, wearing a pink bow and then the ride suddenly veered downwards…

After the ride, Vlad and Dein sat down at some nearby seats waiting for Jake to get there. “So did you have fun?” Dein asked Vlad.
“Yeah, it was great!” Vlad thanked. “But did you notice this girl on the last ride who was wearing a pink bow, and had long Brown hair?”
“No, sorry…” Dein apologized, thinking back to the ride. “I didn’t really notice anyone…”
At that moment Jake came back, smiling at the two of them. “Never get girlfriends who like to ‘shop’ okay?” Jake asked happily. “Especially if you have a good income…”
Dein and Vlad just smiled at this. “Well, it’s getting late, so I better get you two back to your parents r they’ll murder me…” Jake explained, leading them back.
Dein and Jake walked Vlad back home that night, exchanging their farewells at the door as Dein went inside…
