"Uh, yeah! I'm fine!" She put on a smile as she shoved her hand into her pocket. A bell sounded in the distance signaling it was time to eat. "We should get going." she said as she attempted to climb down with only one hand.

"Here, hold onto me, I'll get you down." He tightened his grip on her and slowly climbed down with her in his arms until he was back on the ground.

"Thanks." She gripped his hand and walked into the cafeteria. Sitting down, she whispered, "Oh, hey, I forgot to tell you. A couple of the girls were talking about how they were gonna rig the boys cabin today. Something about silly string and toilet paper. Watch out."

"Well I guess that means I'm sleeping in a tree tonight." He chuckled.

"Nah, we can just camp out in a tent for the rest of the time we're here. Once a prank war starts, it doesn't stop until someone admits defeat." She wouldn't let him go out there alone. Never know what could be out there.

"That's true. But knowing the guys, they'll try to get me involved and that's going to be a nightmare trying to get them off my case."

"True." Angel glanced down at her hand. Regardless of whether Jay was going, she was staying in the woods until this whole thing was over with whether he liked it or not.

"So, um, what's going on with your hand?" He felt awkward asking but he was genuinely curious.

Angel glanced around the room to make sure no one was looking. Once satisfied, she leaned in and said in a hushed voice, "We can't talk about this here. Meet me by the lake after dinner. I'm going AWOL. Cover for me?" She couldn't risk anyone hearing. There was no telling what would happen.

"Yeah, will do." He went up to eat, shooting a confused look back at her before brushing it off, trying to seem nonchalant.

She took a sandwich from the salad bar and walked back to the lake. She looked down at her hand, only to see the amber was now making its way up her arm. She sat against a tree, hidden from view of anyone who walked by.

He finished up quickly and headed out to the lake, looking around for Angel.

(This is right before curfew btw)
"Over here!" She waved so he could see her. The substance had encased her arm and was traveling down her side by this point. "I suppose you want an explanation."

"Yeah, definitely, what's going on?" He looked at the amber, highly confused and concerned.

"Well, for starters, I'm going through metamorphosis early." She grabbed onto the tree with her free hand and stood up. "I didn't really expect for it to happen TODAY, but it looks like it's happening whether I like it or not." She turned and started walking up the river that led into the lake. At the end was a waterfall she slipped behind it and sat on a grass mat. "I'll be staying here until it's over. I'll probably be encased completely by tomorrow morning, and when I come out the next day I'll look a lot different." She was worried about what he'd say. She hoped he wouldn't tell anyone. She really needed someone on her side.

"Well what am I gonna tell the counselors? They'll probably ask me where you are since they've more than likely noticed we've gotten a bit closer."

"Ugh, good point…" She thought for a moment before snapping her fingers. "Tell them I got sick and my parents picked me up! That should work right? Wait, how are you not freaking out right now?"

"Do I really look like the kind of person that has the mental capacity to care that you're a human butterfly?"

She stared at him for a few moments before she started laughing. "That's great! Actually, I'm not a butterfly though. I'm a Lillith. It's possible that I'll grow horns and a tail too."

"Well for the sake of simplicity, I'm just gonna call you a butterfly."

"Alright. You should head back. They'll be looking for you soon." She got up and kissed him on the cheek before laying on the grass.

He waved with a slight smile before heading back to the cabin, slipping in with the other guys and heading up to his bunk without a word.

~Timeskip™ brought to you by an amber cocoon~
Angel emerged from the cocoon and leaned against the wall for support. She slowly made her way to the waterfall and looked at her reflection. Dark black and purple, feathery wings had sprouted from her waist, horns protruded from her head, curving back and looping around to her cheeks, and she now had a scaly tail that reached to the floor and had a spade at the end. "Wow."
(Horns: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/652740539718083515/ the one that loops back to the cheeks. Only difference is there's no notches in hers and they're purple and black.
Tail: https://petephoenix.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/ketu2.jpg hers only has one end though and is purple and black.)

Jay had managed to shake off the counselors and even though he was still worried about Angel, he decided it was for the best to leave her be.

"Shit, how am I gonna hide all this?" she said to herself as she quietly slipped out into the open. It was dark out so she wouldn't have to worry about anyone seeing her so long as she didn't get too close to the campsite. "Perfect." She walked around in the woods trying to find a good clearing. It would take about an hour for the blood to flow through her wings and tail so she could use them properly. Once that happened, all she needed to do was figure out HOW to use them.

Jay was laying in his bunk, staring up at the ceiling. He couldn't sleep. He hadn't taken his meds on time and now they wouldn't kick in until later.

She had learned how to take off, but landing was a different story. She always ended up tripping or crashing into trees. She did however figure out how to use her tail to grip things. "I can't wait to show Jay!" She took off running in the direction of the campsite but suddenly stopped as soon as it was in view. "Wait, I can't be seen." she whispered to herself. She knew for a fact that some of the workers walked around at night to keep the campers from sneaking out. I'll just wait here then. She climbed into a tree and waited there until morning.

When morning broke, Jay headed down to the lake like he had the past few mornings. He had his sketchpad again and was planning on drawing the woods on one side of the lake. He liked having the same picture from different angles, it made him remember it better.
