I grab the beer from Chester. As I do, I brush against his hand and unleash a little more of my power, heightening his emotions.
“I’d like to see you try,” Trey scoffs, as I take a sip of the green beer. It’s disgusting, but I gulp a bit down anyway.
Chester gets right up in Trey’s face and he’s so angry now his face is bright red. “Stay away from my girl.”
Trey takes a step closer and actually lets out a growl. “What are you going to do if I won’t?”
Chester throws the first punch at Trey’s face, unable to contain himself between his overwhelming lust and anger. Fighting breaks out between them, and I rush in to try to break it up. As I do, I’m shoved backward, hard. My beer falls to the ground with a loud crack and my back hits the side of the balcony—and then I’m over it.
Falling.
Falling.
Falling.
Wings unfurl from my back with a loud snap, breaking up my screams. For a second I hover over the pool, black feathers flashing through the air, while everyone down below and on the balcony stares at me. Then I plummet toward the water again. The second I hit it, everything goes black.
Exactly as I planned.
