Everyone's eyes snapped opened immediately after the vision ended.
The symbol on the ground under their feet was glowing brightly which gave enough light for everyone to notice what had happened.

They didn't even have time to analyze what the vision was about because they had something more pressing to deal with at the moment.

"Oh shit" Sam cursed as he and the rest of his roommates looked around.

There was a wolf in the place where Colby once stood, Devon's eyes were full purple sclera while her hands had a purple magical aura around them, Sam had a mouth full of gangs with blood-red eyes, Corey wasn't even there! But Elton... Elton was down on both knees and out of breath as a pair of dark grey feathery wings were now planted on his back.


Sam went and knelt down beside him. "Elton... Hey, Elton are you okay" the blonde asks as Elton looks into his red eyes.


"What the hell just happened," he asked in between deep breaths as Sam put a hand on his shoulder "I-I I don't know..." Sam said as Elton pushed his hand off and wobbly stood to his feet. The wings now stiffening as they raised up and opened wide.
"And some, please explain to me what the hell are these?" Elton points at the wings with his thumb.
"Wait- Corey? Corey... Shit" Devyn begins to look around with worry. Colby's wolf form took a  step backwards as he looks in confusion, it only hit him once he looked down and noticed his little brown paws.

Corey looked around as he saw all of his friends in distress, but he also noticed that they weren't the only ones there. Ghosts of people long gone now walked among them as Corey's eyes grew wide. He looked at his confused friends calling his name.

"They can't see me..." Corey says out loud, to no one noticing as he begins to raise his voice. "guys... GUYS!" He tried shouting as he received the same answer as previously. "shit shit shit" he cursed as he anxiously undid his man bun and retied it.


What do I do?


So he did the first thing that came to mind. Corey ran up to the ghost nearest to him. It was a teenage girl with an 80's style outfit jumper with a bloodied nose. 

"Hey! Yo! How the hell do I get out of here?" He asks with concern as the girl's fear-filled eyes meet his.

"W-What?" She stutters as Corey rolls his eyes with frustration.

"I'm not from here, so how do I get back to them?" He asks frantically, gesturing towards his friends how are now freaking out over Elton having wings... 


Wait wtf Elton has wings?
Okay, not now Corey... You've got more serious things to worry about


"Close your eyes" the girl instructs as her nose bleeds some more.

"Excuse me?"

"Close. Your. Eyes" she repeats herself, pausing in between each word.

"What do you even mean-" but before the banshee could finish his sentence the girl reached out, her cold fingers touching Corey's face and closing his eyes.

Her fingers were like ice on his skin. Upon contact, it sent shivers down his spine. It was the first time he ever truly felt a ghost. Every other time they've just passed through him or given him chills.


Maybe it's because of where I am... This other realm.


Her fingers lingered on his eyelids for a couple of long moments as her touch began to grow warm, the chill of her touch disappearing the longer she stayed there. 

A sudden chill caused his eyes to snap open, as he gazed at all of his friends in shock.

He could feel his body temperature start to warm up again when he realized everyone was staring at him. 

""Corey?" Devyn's voice was weak and scared, his lips curled into a small smile at the sound of his girlfriend's voice.

"H-Hey" His voice was shaky with the sudden switch between realms.

She slowly walked towards him, reaching out and letting her hand touch his arm, the skin under her fingertips was cool. Deyn was able to sense that the magic aura around her fingers was dimming the longer her fingers lingered on Corey.

Her hand ran up his arm, making sure he was a physical being and not a figment of her imagination.


I wouldn't be surprised if he was...

After what just happened I don't know if anything could surprise me at this point.


When it was evident to her that she wasn't going to phase through him, she wrapped her arms around him. Corey hugged her back as he craned his neck to rest his forehead against hers.

"Never, do that, again" She whispered to him.

While the two love birds were having a moment, Elton slowly got to his feet, using Sam as a crutch to stay steady. "We're gonna figure this out, okay?" The blond assured him, but all he got in response was a laboured breath followed by a sharp inhale as he stood up and out of Sam's grasp.

Elton's arm's flew back as his back arched backwards and his chest faced the ceiling. His figure became a silhouette as light began to melt off of his body. His new wings spread out behind him, their wingspan doubling as they opened to their full and glorious size.

Sam stumbled, falling to the floor and he crawled backwards, unsure of what was happening. He moved his hand up to cover his eyes from the bright light.

The light disappeared as fast as it appeared. Once the room was back to its natural darkness, Elton fell back onto the ground, this time fully face planting on the ground. But as his body straightened out, the wings on his back slowly started to disappear.
