Karina gagged as she looked away, battling her mind wanting to leave for dear life and her body gluing her to the spot.

His body abnormally bent in different ways with two bloody cuts on his back. Slowly, a flame of fire circled the figure, glowing a bright red.

The scene lasted for an amount of time she couldn't think of. Her feet were stuck in the same spot, her body still, eyes focused on the angel-like man.

That's when the fire stopped, leaving a trail of smoke, of which the smell tipped her nose. The lack of emotion, the internal denial she was feeling was understandable.

He rose, in a strangely beautiful way, with black extensions. Replacing the two bloody scars which he bore just a while ago. He had black robes draped around him, which was visibly passable.

This was something she should've been terrified about, had nightmares about. But the sight of the man with black wings looked mesmerizing.

To her surprise, he turned around again but didn't look at Karina. He looked like several emotions were attacking him at once, making him only show discomfort.

She got a closer look. His silky black hair was messy, the mud on his face gone. Without a trace, so she could see his face. Karina just gaped at him, awed by what she saw.

He was breathtakingly beautiful. Indescribable. His distinctive enigmatic eyes were on the ground as if just coming to terms with what he experienced.

His body looked lean but built. His bare shoulders were exposed. The robes draped so loosely, so delicate. She felt drawn to what he radiated.

It looked just like two people in the same proximity, doing different things, indifferent to each other. But her attention was solely on him. The power he radiated, something not of this world. Like he was something angelic. Which was true considering what I just witnessed.

He had wings. Wings. What the fuck was that? How can she out of all people be put in a situation with which she cannot fully come to terms with? And how godly he looked. How she was taken aback by his beauty. A mysterious creature whose wings were cut.

The thought made her cringe. Feel like a freak. It was all so bizarre.

While all these thoughts filled her mind like stuffing a pillow, she forgot the presence of the angelic man, whose eyes were on her, as if waiting for her to meet it. And so she did.

She glanced at the man, whose golden orbs bore into mine. Her body instantly stiffened. Scared. Her head, once again, as blank as a sheet of paper.

Karina was intimidated by him now. For real. Was he dangerous? Was she going to die?

Does this thing have something to do with her parents? Why would he end up here in her parent's land?

It felt like an hour of him just analyzing her, observing her. As she stood there like a fucking idiot, a naive one at that. He walked towards her.

Karina's heart raced so high, reverberating throughout her body. She was walking back, her pace increasing.
