Horror

(part 2 of Destined)

(GOING ON VACAY TOMORROW!)

Song: None, or same from last

Ella

Max took me by the hand and motioned for me to land - now. So, I did. Fang was looking at me with a hardened anger, and Dylan an expression of awe. Max pulled me, not saying anything, to Dr. Martinez's house. Dr. Martinez greeted us then gasped loudly when she saw my wings.

"Ella! Maximum...what did...what...who..." she asked frantically. Maximum looked at her then gave a faint nod, and my Mom stared after us as we went into my room. Max pushed me into a sitting position on the bed, then ran her fingers over the top of my wings. She then looked at my eyes, my hair, and pulled my sleeve up to reveal something that even I hadn't noticed. Little, swirled light blue patterns leading up my arms and across the top of my back, like a tattoo.

"What did they do to you?" Max asked seriously. I grinned.

"They gave me wings!" I said enthusiastically.

"They gave you more than that, Ella. They gave you costmetic, permanent tattoos and blueish hair and...worse..." Max held up my silver antique mirror. My eyes were cornflower blue with cat-like eyes. I smiled, happy with my appearance.

"Do you see any extra colors?" Max asked.

"Don't be silly! I doubt that-" I scanned the room, seeing more colors than can ever be charted. Max grimaced.

"Butterfly sight." she announced grimly. Fang crossed his arms.

"How did you know about this?" he asked Max. She turned to him.

"Stolen plans. When we were with Dr. God, I noticed that there was a diagram for this mutation sugery, otherwise known as the Insectisa procedure."

All of the sudden, I flapped my wings gently, and watched my feet rise from the ground. The colors of the room began to fade to black and white, and I found myself screaming for my wings back and for this to be real. But then softness and light reached my eyes, and I sat up.

It was a horrific nightmare.

But the worst part?

It was the only thing I wanted.
