Hi everyone! thank you so much for the reviews!
Warren and Peyton had been together at Billy's house for three week now, they were happy there together. Warren, for the first time in 10 years was truly happy and felt that he could really be himself. He always had to put on an act for his father, especially after his mutation. He was always expected to act a certain way but with Peyton he could laugh when he wanted to laugh, smile when he wanted to smile and say whatever he truly thought.
Warren got a phone call off his father that morning. Warren's father had called him a few times while he had been there, just to make sure he was ok and (much to Peyton's disgust) to make sure he was keeping his wings covered up as a work associate of his lived in the area.
This phone call however was different.
"Warren, how are you son?" said his father.
"Fine" He answered.
"And Paige, how is she?"
"Her name is Peyton, and yeah she is fine"
"Son, listen the reason I called you is because we have found a cure"
"A cure for the mutations?"
"Yes, a cure for the mutations" his father repeated.
"Uh that's great dad, congratulations" Warren stammered not really knowing how to react.
"Well, I'll expect you back before Tuesday. You are going to be the first one to be cured" Warren could hear happiness in his Fathers voice.
"But I -"
"Well see you soon Warren beep" he hung up.
Warren sighed and put down his phone. Peyton walked into the room and saw that Warren looked quite confused.
"Angel, are you alright?" she said walking up to him putting her hand on his shoulder.
"Uh, yeah" he said absentmindedly "That was my dad. He's, um, he's found a cure for the mutations"
Peyton felt her stomach drop. No she thought he's leaving. She looked down at the ground as he kept talking.
"And he wants me to be the first to be cured"
"Oh, are you going to?" she asked him.
"I don't really think I have a choice" Warren said simply.
"Don't have a choice! Warren you're not a little kid anymore, this isn't his decision it's yours" She yelled at him.
"You don't understand Peyt!"
"Tell me then!" she yelled "Why is this up to daddy dearest and not you when it's your body and your life"
"Why are you yelling at me?" Warren started yelling too "You don't get it Peyton, you don't know what it's like to have your father look at you everyday like you're a freak!"
"I have seen how he looks at you and it makes me sick! That's why I think you should be making this choice for you and not for someone who would make you feel this way!"
"PEYTON! NO YOU DON'T GET IT, YOU MIGHT THINK YOU DO BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA! THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU ANYWAY SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET LOST!" Warren yelled at her, he immediately regretted it seeing the hurt look on her face "Peyton I'm-"
"No, don't" she cut in "You're a prick" she said quietly and walked past him went out the door and slammed it behind her.
Warren sighed and ran his hand through his hair. He hadn't meant to upset her he just needed her to understand that there was more to it than what she saw. He suddenly felt really guilty as he realized she only said all that because she cared about him. He cursed himself for treating her that way and ran after her.
He ran down the street and when he saw her he called out her name.
"Peyton!" He called "Peyton wait! Listen I'm sorry" Peyton kept walking and Warren called her again. When he caught up with her he grabbed her arm and turned her to face him "Peyton, please"
She turned at looked at him. He was about to apologize to her but before he could speak she had kicked him in the chest. He fell to the ground and she stepped on his chest pinning him down.
"Peyton what the hell are you doing?" Warren asked finding it difficult to speak because she had winded him.
She laughed and leaned forward looking at him. His eyes widened with shocked as Peyton's whole body started to turn blue. She transformed into a blue scaly woman with orange hair. Warren realized she had been one of the people outside Peyton's house the night he had saved her. "You're never going to see her again" said the woman.
"You! What have done with her? If you've done anything to her I swear to God I'll kill you!" Warren screamed at her. Please God let her be alright he prayed.
The woman simply laughed, took her foot off her chest and kicked him hard in the chest. Another woman walked up next to her with her arms crossed, she shook her head and laughed as Angel groaned in pain. "Pathetic, isn't he Spike?" said the blue woman.
"Yeah, absolutely" Spike agreed "By the way nice kick Mystique"
"Come on let's go before Pyro stuffs up again and loses her again" Mystique answered she kicked Warren again before the two women turned started too walk off. "Shit, too late"
"Warren!" screamed a voice.
"Peyton" Warren felt a wave of relief sweep over him.
"Warren, are you ok?" Peyton called out running up to him, but before she get to him, Mystique slapped her in the face and Spike held out her hand and a thorn shot out of her palm hitting Peyton in the neck. Peyton cried out in pain and swung her arm expecting it to cause a deep cut to appear on Spikes body but nothing happened. "What?" Peyton thought out loud.
"Your powers are gone for a while" Spike said with a smirk pointing at the thorn Peyton still had in her neck.
"Pyro!" Mystique called out as she saw him run around the corner towards them "What are you doing? You idiot! You almost lost her! We gave you one simple friken thing to do and you can't even do that right!"
"It's not exactly easy!" Pyro told her "I'd like to see you try"
"Fine!" said Mystique. She walked up to Peyton and punched her, knocking her out and then she picked her up and handed her to Pyro "Do you think perhaps you can keep an eye on her now?"
"Let her go!" Angel wheezed still trying to get up of the ground, but he couldn't because his ribs had been broken the last time Mystique had kicked him.
Mystique snorted and turned to Spike "Go find Gargoyle"
"No need, I'm here" said a man coming around the corner with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. "You ready to go?"
Mystique nodded. Gargoyle took one last puff of his cigarette and threw on the ground, them ribbed off his shirt. He grew taller and taller, his skin began to go brown and his jaw stretched, his nails and teeth became sharp, his eyes went black and hideous bat-like wings formed on his back.
When the horrible transformation was complete Gargoyle grunted at the others and they walked towards him he picked Mystique and Spike up with one arm and Pyro and Peyton under the other. Gargoyle kicked off from the ground and flew off into the sky.
"No!" Angel called out and with all the strength he could possibly muster he stood up and took off his shirt the flew after them.
I have to get her back Angel told himself.
But before he could get anywhere near Gargoyle and the others, Spike turned and shot a thorn out at Angel. It hit him in the chest and he felt his wings withering away, he watched his feathers gliding down slowly as he fell towards the ground…
