Author's Note:Well, this is my first ever fanfic!!! Sorry the blurb thing sucks, but I've spent ages trying to perfect my story, so I hope you enjoy it. Please Read and Review!! My story was inspired by the song 'Taking Over Me' by Evanescense.
Please Note that this is set when Prosper and Bo have joined the gang, but the whole wing and merrygoroung thing (rhymes!) never happened and they know now that he is actually rich, but have forgiven him.
Chapter 1
A Feather
Scipio streaked through the silent street, the treasures in his brown bag dragging him back. His trainers made no sound on the wet cobblestone pavement. He turned his head to his left and right when he was just by an alleyway. His face was covered by a mask with a black bird beak.
The hair on the back of his neck stood on its end. I'm being followed. His thoughts raced across his mind, but he had an idea. He turned into the alleyway and hid behind several boxes. A few minutes later, a shadow paused at the entrance of the alleyway.
Scipio ran forward quickly and grabbed at where the throat of this thing. He pushed it against the wall.
"Why are you following me?" Scipio made his voice harsh and filled it with anger.
"Answer me!"
Still, silence. Then suddenly the clouds moved and the full moon illuminated the scene. Scipio gasped. In these brief seconds, he had seen long dark hair, a pair of gold eyes and what was that…? It couldn't be……wings?!? He saw this girl's hand hold something silver then the street was plunged into darkness, he felt a searing pain on his wrist that pinned this creature. He let go and breathed in sharply in pain.
This thing ran out the alleyway and turned to the right. Scipio cursed himself and ran after her. He looked around. She had gone. Where did she go? What did she want? He lifted his bag up and raced towards the Stella.
The angel crouched on the roof and spread her wings around her. Her golden eyes easily found this mysterious dark figure and she leapt silently from building to building after him. The only reason she followed him was because there was no one about…
"Scipio!! What happened?!" cried an earnest looking Hornet when she opened the door to him. "Come in quickly, I have to clean that." She dragged him in and closed the door behind them.
"Scipio!!" cried a little voice joyfully. Scipio smiled, it was Bo. Bo was 6 years old with slightly long curly blonde hair. He adored Scipio, but his beaming smile vanished when he saw the wound. "You're bleeding."
"It's nothing, just a scratch."
"It looks more than that to me Scip" spoke a voice. It was Bo's older brother Prosper. He too had slightly long hair, but it was brown and bright blue eyes stared and the blood. But nothing else gave away any concerns he had, he was 14, he had to make sure he didn't act scared.
"What the hell happened Scipio?!?!" said Riccio a 13 year old with spiky hair and disgusting teeth.
"Nothing Hedgehog." Mosca didn't look up, he knew that Scip was fine, but his mind was concentrated on fixing the radio. He was a strong 14 year old with dark skin. He was a natural sailor. Hornet was the only girl, and had medium length brown hair in plaits. She rushed in carrying some cloth and a small bowl of water. She quickly washed and bandaged his wrist. He pulled off his mask, but his face was expressionless.
"Thank you Hornet, but it's fine now. No more questions on this subject. Don't you want to know what I've brought?" He pulled out the bag and emptied it's contents, They all gasped, the treasures were magnificent. But it was smaller than usual. Scipio knew this,
"I'll try and get some more, don't worry."
While this was going on, they didn't know that they were being watched.

The girl had reached the building into which the boy had disappeared into. She saw an open skyline window and glided through it. There were rafters on the roof and on one of them she perched to watch. Inside were many children, but she took no interest in them, she wanted to know about this rough new stranger. A little blonde child ran forward, but was stopped in his tracks. A boy with horrible teeth ran forward. She heard him say 'Scipio'. This must be the older boy's name. He soon removed his mask and she began to commit his image into memory.
He had dark hair that had a slight curl and as a bit longer than what a normal boy's hair would be. He had slightly tanned olive skin. His eyes were a deep brown with a shine of kindness in them. Overall slightly handsome. She had gotten all she needed and got ready to leave, but first, ah yes, a little remembrance gift to them. She felt in her black feathery wings and wiggled a loose one out. She dropped this and flew out of the window, which she had arrived from.
"What's that?" said Bo pointing at the gently falling black thing from the roof. They all stopped talking and gazed up. Scipio's face turned white. Bo picked it up and brought it to Scipio to show him.
"Look Scip! A feather!"
