Prologue

-Midnight, 6-13-06-

While walking down a dark gloomy path in the park, I stumbled upon a dead crow, blood surrounding its entire body. I bent down to look closer. A twig snapped from somewhere behind me. Still crouching, I turned to see who or what was there. Nothing. The wind began to pick up. Wings? The sound of wings flapping was being carried by the wind. I turned back to see that the once dead bird made its way towards the darkened sky. I stood, watching the bird fly into the darkness, but how? I looked down at the pool of blood, reaching down to touch it; the crimson liquid stained my fingertips. As I looked into the puddle there was another figure besides my own. I swiftly turned, hoping to see who or what it was. And I did. And a sight I will never forget, is what I saw that night. Its skin glowed in the moonlight. And then I noticed it's beautiful black wings with red tipped feathers. The sight filled me with awe. This beautiful creature began to move closer towards me.

I noticed it was also a man. His ears were pointed like those of an elf, his nails were like claws, and he wore black pants, boots and a black studded collar around his neck. In such a trance, I didn't even notice he was only a few steps in front me. I brought myself back to reality and stared him in the eyes. He stepped forward, closing the gap between us. He caressed my cheek. His body was almost against mine. He began to draw even closer. I lost my breath. His face came close to mine and then-- "Anyone out here?" A voice came from another direction, lights following the voice. I turned to see who was coming. I could feel a swift breeze behind me and saw that he fled back into the trees and the darkness. Two policemen patrolling the area shined the flashlights at me. I turned fast and held up my arms to block the light from my eyes. They told me I shouldn't be out at a time like this and all alone. They told me that they'd give me a ride home. As we walked towards the exit of the park, I glanced back once more. But there was no sight of My Dark Angel.
