"What makes you think he can do that? He's an innocent person!" I yell at the top of my lungs, with Mitch still holding me. Ouch... That's got to hurt his ears.... Sorry buddy. Everyone turns and gasps at me. "Yeah, you heard me right! Why?" I say.

"I'm going to let you go, just this once. Soon you will follow in my shadow." Catanya says, glaring at me. I cross my arms, all while Mitch is hugging me to him, and give her the same face she is giving me right now. Then she twists Rob's arm back again. That's it! I jump out of Mitch's arms, and find my jacket being pulled off. Lexi stands behind me, my jacket in her hands. With a triumphant look, she shreds it to pieces. My wings are displayed for all to see.

I give a small scream, then turn and face towards Catanya. I then pull my wings close to my body, trying to not show them off as much. Everyone, even Catanya, is dead silent, staring at me in shock. I close my eyes when I see the look on Flash's face. He looks like he was betrayed, and it makes me almost cry. I've never had someone look at me like that before, and it is NOT a good feeling. I feel guilty for no reason.

Mitch pulls me to him, trying to stop me from getting myself hurt. I shrug him off, glaring at Catanya. Then I look at Dash, and she looks defeated and like she is about to faint. I am then slammed backward into the wall. A hand closes around my throat. I look up, and see Catanya holding me, a smug look on her face. Well, that won't last for long. I bring me leg up, hitting her in her stomach. She winces, but doesn't let go.

Grabbing her wrists, I pull myself free and flap my wings as hard as I can, flying up to the ceiling. She grabs my ankle, and starts pulling me back down with uncanny strength. I try flying back up, but she is too strong, and slams me to the floor. I see stars, but fly back up to the ceiling.

"You get back here!" she screams, and it is almost like fury is rolling off her in a giant waterfall. I fly up to the ceiling and she looks up at me. Rage is in everything she does, and I glance over at Rob to see if he is okay. He looks a little relieved that I got her off of him, but he isn't safe yet. Ooohhhhhh.. That's not good. I look over at Catanya and I remember that she has wings. Oh dear...

"Great.." I sigh, and float around while she gets back up. Jumping up, she speeds towards me, a hand outstretched to put around my throat. I fly to the side a half of a second before she reaches me, and she crashes into the wall. Ouch... That's gotta hurt... Then I pull my wings and dive to the floor as fast as I can. Pulling my wings back out, I zoom back towards the ceiling and shoot a bolt of magic at her. It collides with her back, and she turns around, clearly mad. It looks like the spell did nothing at all. Uh oh...

She flies towards me and I fly away, and she is just out of reach with my ankle. She braces herself, then propels towards me and grabs my ankle. We crash to the ground, and chaos erupt from the room. Everyone rushes towards us, and Unicity sends a spell around everyone in the room except Catanya. She is pushed back. My friends then run over to me, Mitch in front of them all. He hugs me with all the strength he has, almost shuddering.

"Twi, I thought I lost you." he says, looking worriedly at me. "Are you hurt?" he checks me over, not finding much.

"I'm just a little sore, I guess." I tell him, and he nods. Meanwhile, Jackie and Peony are right in front of Catanya, waving and smiling at her while they are still in the energy field. She is really mad now, trying to shoot at them with all she has. Then Flit and Dash come over and steal me from Mitch, helping me back into the air. I look over at Catanya, and she is staring at Mitch. He must be her next victim. No! I dive in front of him and her spell breaks the barrier, and I deflect it right before it hits me. Whew! She dives out of the way of her own spell, and it hits the wall creating black smoke everywhere. I raise my arms and do a delete spell, making all the smoke vanish. By the time the smoke is gone, Catanya is right next to me, an evil grin on her face.

She slams me into the wall, hard enough to make it crack. My wing! I think she just broke it, because it hurts SO much and I can't move it at all. I push off her and try to fly, only managing to get a few feet of the ground with one of my wings. Well, that will have to do. I shoot more spells at her, all of them making a direct impact. Yes! By now, Catanya is covered with grey streaks, and her hair is smoking and jaggedly cut. I turn around to se if everyone else is okay, when I hear Dash scream.

"Twi! Watch out!" I turn around and just miss another spell from Catanya. It "harmlessly" crashes into the wall right next to me. Then I lunge at Catanya (as fast as I can with one wing) and I fling her into the air, my other wing hurting from the strain of holding me up. She comes back at me, hitting me in the side. Oh that hurts.... The breath is knocked out of me, and she uses that to her advantage. She takes hold of my other wing and I hiss with pain. She then slams me into the floor, and stands over me, creating a bolt of pure bad magic, ready to shoot it at me at any second. Thankfully, Jackie and Peony get behind her and hold her back.

The shot that was meant for me hits the wall, and pieces fly everywhere. At first I think the ceiling will collapse, but it doesn't. I get back up (well, I TRY...) and stand up. Flit and Dash come over and put me on their arms, helping me get away. I hold my head and discover that it is bleeding. Not only that, but my blood isn't red - it's a silvery purple. Okay.... That was definitely NOT expected...

"Are you okay?" Flit asks.

"Yeah.." I say. Then the two of them notice my blood.

"Oh my gosh Twi! What IS that?" they shriek.

"Uh.. my blood... No idea how it's possible, though."I tell them, and they look between each other and me. Then Unicity comes up.

"Oh my goodness! Darling, are you alright?" she asks. I nod, my head beginning to feel worse. I look over at Rob, and he smiles at me. I nod, giving him a thumbs up to show him that I am alright. Then I see Mitch looking over at Rob, confused and a little suspicious. As Mitch comes over to me, I hear Peony shriek, and Catanya bursts towards the ceiling. She then tries to fire at all my classmates, and I latch on to her arm. Then, pulling with all the strength I have left in me, I bring her down to the floor. She tries to wrestle away, and brings her nails down on my arm. Soon, more blood is flowing, and I snatch up a piece of my jacket that Lexi had ripped earlier, trying to make a bandage to stop the blood flow. As I am doing that, she jumps on my back, pinning both of my wings, and pulls my hair back. I scream, and she falls off the back of me.

As she is on the floor, Peony and Jackie cover her with a net, and Unicity makes it a portal. Right before she disappears, she strikes the ceiling above me, and it starts to fall. When she is almost gone, she shoots one last time, hitting me right above my heart. I fall, and parts of the ceiling falls on my legs and wings, and I can't get up. The last thing I see is the ceiling collapsing on me, and then the world goes black.

Hi everyone! Here is another chapter! I know I have been updating almost everyday, but unfortunately, that is about to change. On May second, I got a concussion -again! :( why....- so when I usually would be in gym, I got to write. Next week I am going back to gym class, so I will lose 40 minutes of valuable writing time. I promise that I will update as soon as possible, but it will definitely be slower. Anyway, now a more happy subject. I want to thank you all so much for all your feedback and support, and I look forward to getting more as I continue to update. Special thanks to Christina, Vicky, and Stephanie for nagging me to write and write and write whenever possible. (Though I would do it anyway, whether you nagged me or not) Be sure to check out Dash's perspective of this story by going to:
