Chapter 1
Piper was looking around her room, wondering how she ended up in this mess. Her father would come home drunk every day, beat her and blame her for his bad job and her mum leaving. She loved going to see her mum and always felt safe, but was too scared to leave her father's place. Until tonight.
Her father, Mike, came home drunk again tonight. He had been out with friends and been drinking. He had been gone for hours, which gave Piper the time to pack her belongings into her car. She was taking all her stuff, which was a fair bit, with her, but it all fit in the Ford F250 her mum bought for her. She pretended to be asleep when Mike came home, but her father didn't care. He burst through her bedroom door and started screaming obscenities at her, before dragging her by her hair downstairs. He started to beat her, and this time was the worst it had ever been before. She thought she was going to die.
She was fighting her father with everything she could throw at him, but he was overpowering her. She found a way to get out and took the chance. She ran as fast as she could to the front door, but her father grabbed her from behind. He beat Piper with his fists, but just as she was about to give up fighting him, something extraordinary happened. Five boys saved her life. One boy had wings, as pure as a child's soul, another had red eyes and fangs, the third had black eyes and a darkness around him, the fourth had a golden sword and was floating on air and the fifth had just transformed into a wolf.
Piper saw all of this before she blacked out. The boys knocked Mike out, and all turned to look at Piper, only to find she was unconscious. The boy with wings picked Piper up saying,
"Guys, I'll meet you at the house. One of you take piper's car. Be there soon" and with that he was off.
Back at the house, the angel laid Piper on the couch and placed a blanket over her. He was worried, but just glad she was safe.
When the other boy's finally came home, Piper started to stir. All the boys were watching her, in worry and relief. Piper opened her eyes.
She surveyed the room and looked at each of the boys, just grateful she was alive. As she remembered what had happened, she looked at each boy fearfully. She was scared and had no idea what had happened to her father or how she got here.
She looked at all the boys and asked them, shakily,
"What are your names, and what are you guys?"
The angel answered first. He said "My name is Niall and I am an angel".
Next was the vampire, who said, "I am Louis, and I am a vampire."
"I am Harry and I am a demon" said the boy who had the black eyes.
"My name's Liam. I am a demigod" said the one with the sword.
The last one said. "Zayn. I'm a shapeshifter".
