The night breeze brushed against my face, my wings glided through the sky. I just wore a simple tank top since that was the only thing that exposed my shoulder blades, the only clothing i could wear that my wings won't have to tear through.
I've only gotten these burdensome acessories a few days ago. Even though i flew at such a slow speed it ached my shoulders. It was safe to fly around at this time of the night. 2:30 am, no one would want to be up right now. I looked at the little map that i drew myself before leaving home. I had a leather jacket in my hand, a butterfly knife strapped to my thigh and a lighter in the pocket of my shorts. My first hunt... My first step to revenge.
My phone vibrated in the other pocket of my shorts. I reached to get it, suddenly i felt wind rushing up my legs.
"Arh forgot to flap again" I bit my lip and quickly flapped my wings trying to get back to the height i was at before. 

-Don't spend too long, the lab might be looking for us. If you can't get any information out of him just come home.-
Sungyeol. 

Sungyeol, my brother. He was a total genius like appa... Except Sungyeol didn't have a weak body. I didn't bother replying, There were some other things already planned out in my mind. I wasn't far from my destination.
"Omma, appa. I'll take back what was suppose to be ours... I'll take revenge on all they did to you." I swore holding the necklace that once belonged to my omma tightly in my hand. 

The house was visible from my eyes. I glid through the wind and attempted to land. My legs stumbled then tripped making me roll on the lawn. I groaned as i got up from the moist grass. My wings folded behind my back. The two storey house stood in front of me, i walked around the corner searching for a way in. One of the windows were half opened.
"Dr Lee... You are so careless" I thought  examing the window. With as less noise as possible i started cutting the fly net with my knife. I cut along the edges making the whole thing come off from the window. My hand pushed the window open wider so i could get in. It creaked, i froze on the spot. A few seconds past, there was no movement. I let out a deep breath and climbed into the house. The interior was comepletely black but my eyes saw everything clearly. 

Table, couch, chair, random stuff... I started to tiptoe towards the staircases. A photo caught my attention. It sat on the bookshelf next to the window. I picked up the photo frame and studied it carefully.
A room filled with people wearing white coats, some wearing glasses and glove. Everyone was smiling as though they had a great time. My appa was sitting in a chair towards the center of the photo with his friends doing the peace sign. Omma was in her glasses at the side drinking water.
I my a hand over her face, tears formed in my eye. I looked up trying to stop them forming. All the books on the shelf were extremely thick.
Human Science, Animal Studies, Lab Handbook, Aggelos. The name of the last book was written by hand. I placed down the photo frame carefully and reached for the book. It made the shelf creak when i took it off. 

The cover was just plain brown with the title however it looked extremely old. I turned the hardcover, dust flew into my face. I fanned myself and wipped the remaining dust off before reading it. I couldn't understand a single word... It was all in Greek or something.  I flipped to a random page. There was a piece of paper that was folded in between the two pages. I opened it, appa's handwriting... 

- Experiment 001
  Result, fail
  Human dead, unatta-
The rest was burnt off so was half of the photo that came with it. The photo was in black and white, i could kind of tell it was a man but that was all. 

I heard the stairs make a sound i close the book and stood still facing the staircases holding onto my breath.
A middle ages man in pyjamas flashed his flashlight around the place. The round patch of light stopped at my feet, it slowly moved up. I heard the man shallow.
"Who-os-e th-her-e" He shuttered. I started to walk closer to him. The light came onto my face, my eyes were like black marbles under the moon.
"Nice to see you again Dr. Lee." I smirked while getting closer.
I could hear him breathing heavily, he dropped the flashlight on the ground. His hands searched the wall desperately for the light switch. 
"Don-n't-t com-e clo-ose-r" I don't know if that was a threat or not but i knew he was ting himself.
The light suddenly blinked on, my wings spread out wide apart in alarm. The man stood there with his legs shaking uncontrollably. I flapped my wings a little, they almost reached from one side of the room to the other. A gust of wind blew onto the man's face. One of my pure white feathers drifted to his feet, he glanced at it. Beads of cold sweat were drooling down the side of his face.
"Do you remember me Dr. Lee." I asked in a cold tone. The truth was I wanted to scare him, it was pretty fun.
His hand shook as he pushed up his thick glasses.
"S-seoyeon!?" It was as though he saw a ghost... Well in my case an angel.
I snorted and picked off one of the feathers from my left wing, it felt like pulling out a bunch of hair. Seoyeon, that was omma's name... It's not absurd that he would mistaken me for her. After all my mother was an angel when she died... And we have the same dark eyes that were almost black in colour. The silk straight black hair... I was just a lot shorter and i don't wear glasses. Pretty much i was an exact copy of her...
I walked up to him slowly, he tried to step back but slipped and hit the floor hard. However his eyes never left me, he slid back on the floor. I could see his teeth chatter, not from cold but from fear. Eventually his back hit the wall.
"Why are you so scared, dear?" I pretended to be my mother. I tried talking just like she did, it felt uncomfortable talking like this but i guess I'll just go with the flow.
The man scrambled to his knees and hit his forehead on the floor. "Seoye-eon, I'm terribly s-sorry. Pl-e-ease don't kil-l me."
I stared at him with a extremely cold expression, the feather twilled in my hand. He lifted his head off the ground but he didn't look up. I lifted up his head by his chin, making his eyes meet mine. He stared into my almost black pupils. I brushed the feather on his cheek. 

"Dr Lee... I'm Seori." I said with a smirk while letting go of his chin.
There was a moment of silence.
"Prof-fesso-or's daug-ghter?!" He pointed a shaking finger at me. "You-u are not d-dead?"
The smirk on my face widened, gradually turned into laughter. My unquie laugh echoed in the silent night. I tried to stop myself laughing. My wings curled up close to my arms, that man stared at me as though i was crazy. 

"I'm surprised you still call him professor afterall you are the ones who killed him..." My expression went back to serious.
"We didn't k-kill him." He replied.
I snorted and pulled the lighter out of my pocket. He watched silently as i light the feather i was holding.
"Care to tell me where my parent's research is?" I asked playing around with  with the flame.
"I d-don't have it."
I placed the half burned away feather on the fabriced couch. The flame slowly creeped onto the fabric. He just watched in shock. I unstrapped my butterfly knife and held the non bladed side on his neck.
The metal was cold against his skin. His eyes shook with fear.
"So who has it then." I whispered into his ear.
"D-Dr Na-m." He mumbled.
I stared into his eyes, he wasn't lying.
Another one of my father's workers... 

I walked away from him with a sigh. The flame went out even before it even got a chance to burn the arm of the couch. My phone rang, I didn't feel like picking it up. I took a book off the bookshelf. 

Random science stuff... I teared out a handfull of pages and light it. The man sat frozen on the ground and i light up more of his books. I chucked the pages behind me. I wanted to try lighting the house on fire for fun. I did the same with every book. The smell of the smoke... and growing heat behind my wings. There was one last book that sat on the shelf.
"Aggelos..." I hesitantly reached for it. Something in my mind told me that it might come in handy. The fire alarm in the kitchen started to ring. I turned around with a grin seeing all the pages flaming on the floor. The leg of a wooden chair had also caught on fire. 

"Goodbye Dr. Lee." I said before climbing back out the window with the book in my hand. I didn't get to see his expression before leaving. I looked up at the sky, it was still fully dark. My wings started of flapping lightly bring me off the ground. Gradually they flapped harder taking me back home. 

------------------

I stopped flying a few streets away from home. I tucked my wings tightly behind my back and put on my jacket. It was extremely uncomfortable... But i had to do this. 

"I'm home..." I mumbled as i opened the front door.
Sungyeol spun around on his arm chair that was at the side of the living room.
"Oppa, you should be sleep." I could see dark bags under his eyes.
He shook his head, then the book in my hand caught his eyes.
"That..." His voice was slightly horse.
I shut the door tightly behind my back and locked it before taking off my jacket, revealing the wings hidden under them.

I passed the strange book to him, "What does it say?"
"...Angel" Sungyeol whispered. He was a genius it wasn't strange he could understand whatever that language was. 'What did Dr. Lee say?'
"He said Dr. Nam has it..."
Sungyeol's eyes twitched at that name.

------------------

I laid in bed on my side since i couldn't sleep on my back anymore. My mind recalled what happened a week ago. Since that night on, i started believeing the fact that you would dream about someone before they died. With a sigh i sat back up in bed, i guess i was paranoid. I the tv, there was nothing to watch. I flicked past the news channel, normally i won't watch news but the word 'Lee' caught my attentsion.
A smirk appeared on my face when i realised it was talking about Dr. Lee.
§ Well known scientist Dr. Lee's house has caught on fire throughout the night. Currently the cause is unknown but it will be investigated. The professor has been rescued suffering from burns along his body. He seems mentally unstable from the shock. Futher reports will be coming in. §
§ Now for the weat- §
The channel suddenly seemed to change, an emergency news report appeared. I watched with a confused expression.
§ Emergency report, scientist Dr. Nam has been found dead in his apartment. Police is now investigating his death§
I moved closer to the tv, Dr. Nam... It was the guy that apparently had my parent's research.
"How..." Without much thought i jumped out of bed and ran to Sungyeol's room. He spun aroud in his seat when he heard me push open his door. The tv was also on the same channel as mine. His dark circles...
I went over to his table, he was studing the book i brought back earlier. A strange form was on the corner of his table, i picked it up and read it.
"What is this?" I asked, it was an enrollment form for school.
"You are going to school." He replied writing down random stuff in his book.
"Yeah i know, i can read this but why?"
"You saw just then didn't you"
"You knew he died?" Sungyeol always knew everything before hand. It kind of irrated me.
"He probably died a few days ago... Someone must of went after him"
"Then the research..."
Sungyeol sighed and stopped what he was doing. "His son probably has it."
"Huh?"
"His son, Nam Woohyun"
Maybe it was just me but it seemed like Sungyeol had to force the name out of his mouth.
"Ahh that's why you are enrolling me to school" I wasn't a genius but i was still pretty smart.
"You need to find out where he lives."
'Woah you don't know?"
"I don't stalk everyone okay..." Sungyeol seemed to not be in serious mode anymore. He was normally a choding but lately things have been to serious.
I chuckled, 'I can't sleep' I said sitting on his bed.
Sungyeol had the largest bed in the house, maybe cause he has strange sleeping habits.
"You can sleep in my room for tonight." He said turning back to his work.
