  > Chapter 1
  You instantly awaken to the sound of your iphone ringing like an old fashion telephone right next to you. The ringtone reminds you of a retro movie that you produced a while back. The movie itself became a huge box office hit! That retro movie was actually what kick started your career as a producer/editor in the first place! It was also the first time you ever worked with Jim and Darlene.
  
  Jim Vaughn and Darlene Wilson are two of Hollywood's most exclusive celebrities. Jim is known for his action films, more specifically the new and latest rendition of James Bond. Ever since that movie, his personality has skyrocketed to an all time ego. Interview talk shows and reporters constantly say that if there was an Oscar for "Most Arrogant Actor", he would win across the board.
  
  Darlene Wilson, on the other hand, is considered Hollywood's most classy woman. She's constantly winning awards for Hollywood's "Best Dressed", "Most Interesting Celebrities", and even "Best Cooking". What really started her career; however, was a television show similar to Friends. Her decade as one of the main characters on the show allowed her to get a name for herself. Eventually she started to do major motion pictures.
  
  What made Jim and Darlene the best; however, was their chemistry on camera. Despite their constant bickering behind on the scenes, they're always quite pleasant to work with.
  
  Tiredly, you turn over in bed and reach over to the iphone on the nightstand. You read the caller id: Jake Smith.
  
  Smith is your current boss and director for the new horror film he's making called: "The Monsters Within". According to "E! Magazine", Jake Smith is considered the modern day equivalent to Tim Burton. Apparently, they even shared the same High School class. While Tim Burton's movies are more tame; however, Smith specializes more on the horror genre. He's not afraid to make his movies as bloody and gory as possible.
  
  When a popular talk show challenged Smith to produce a thriller instead of his typical, run of the mill horror, he decided to accept the challenge.
  
  Smith can be very demanding, especially when it comes to the smallest things. In Hollywood, he's known as the "absolute jerk of directing", mostly because he has a tendency to fire at least one person every day, go on wild tantrums, and go in and out of anger management rehab. Quickly, you pick up the phone. Hello? Is John there?" Smith asks in a demanding tone.

  -Chapter 2: The Discovery-
  
  "They're DEAD!"
  
  The voices of several nervous and terrified crew members filled the vast studio room. The two dead corpses of Darlene and Jim lay lifeless on the wooden set floor. You feel a small shiver tingle down your spine as you glance at what was once the scene of a horror film, is now the scene of a crime. In the near distance, you notice Jenny on her cell phone, probably trying to call the police. Every few seconds she tries to wave the phone in the air. Trying to get reception, maybe? At the other side of the room, you see Smith trying to regulate the crew.
  
  At a table near you, a radio on the weather station can be heard.
  
  "Good morning folks. Unfortunately, the weather outside in California will not be very ideal. A massive hurricane will be passing through the area for the next several long hours. Please try to remain calm and seek the proper shelter to stay safe. The storm has already begun very dreadfully."---you hear static--"phone lines are down"--you hear more static until the radio completely dies out.
  
  Along the other side of the room, you notice some of the crew members trying to open the large studio doors to leave. In seconds, they manage to open the door. Outside you notice very quickly the dangerous and vivid storm. Trees and cars are being pelted in the air like leaves in the wind. Quickly, you watch the crew members struggle to close the open doors.
  
  In doesn't take very long until everyone in the studio is quiet or whispering. You glance at many of the people, whom all seem to be glancing at Smith. Reluctantly, Smith gets up and speaks before the terrified crowd. "I'm just a movie director! I can't help you guys! We're all going to die!" You watch as he runs off into a corner of the studio.
  
  Jenny, the studio manager, steps up.
  
  "There's no need to be wild or jump to hasty conclusions.
  
  We are currently working on the situation and we will all get out of here alive and safe!"
  
  Jenny looks to you. "John? Could you help me out?"

  -Chapter 3: Path to the Light-
  
  "Does anyone have a flashlight?"
  
  The studio lobby is instantly swept by darkness. Many of the people in the room begin to push and shove their way into you, screaming for help. Fortunately, Jenny is able to regulate the crew from going insane in minutes.
  
  "I'll ask again. Does anyone have a flashlight that we can use to get around?" Jenny asks in desperately.
  
  "I have one in my sound stage area!" Danny shouts from the darkness.
  
  "Well do you think you can go get it from here?" Jenny asks through the darkness.
  
  "I can try but I'm going to need some help..." Danny shouts from the darkness.
  
  You try to get your eyes adjusted to the darkness, but to your dismay no luck. You quickly search your pockets for your cell phone to use it as a light.
  
  "Ok everyone!" Shouts Jenny from the darkness.
  
  "For now just use your cellphone if you have one as a temporary flashlight until we can get the studio back and running. John, Danny, and I are going to look for some flashlights. Stay calm and stay inside the studio area!"
  
  Using her cellphone flashlight, Jenny looks to you.
  
  "John, I'm going to need you to head down to the studio basement and find a way to the generator. Normally, the generator is supposed to kick on, but I guess it needs to be manually restarted. Danny and I are going to look for some flashlights."[Themes: love & dating, romance, serious, drama]
  
  You sigh heavily as you check the date on your phone. It's almost June. The summer concert is approaching, and you still haven't picked out what song you are going to play. You wanted to compose something, but with such little time, you will have to drop that idea.
  
  "You should play this piece, Kain," Your classmate Atsu's voice can hardly be heard over the noise of chattering students. You wonder how many seconds it will take before the teacher has the whole class writing lines for "disrupting learning environment."
  
  "I told you..." you say, "I don't play songs other people have written. It feels like copying someone else, you know?"
  
  Your classmate gives you a what-exactly-are-you-talking-about look. "But you are good on the violin, and this song suits your style." He drops a pile of photocopied music on your desk, each marked with the concert date. "Play as often as you can. I never see you practice."
  
  Of course he never sees you practice.

  > Secret Hideaway
  Afterschool, you immediately head to your hideaway, making sure nobody follows you. No one knows, but you come to the back garden of the school everyday to practice playing.
  
  It's very peaceful there in the middle of summer, despite the increasing temperature. Even the birds are quiet. There is a lot of shade here, and the plants here are very carefully managed.
  
  You can play whatever you want to here, and there's not a human soul to disturb you. So far.
  
  You sink down next to a patch of concrete under the willow tree and dig out the crumpled piece of music your friend gave you. Summer-colored Wings. What kind of name is that?
  
  You are just about to take out your violin when a human girl literally falls down on top of you.
  
  > say "Are you alright?"
  "Phew!" she pants. "That was scary. I slipped off that tree!Those branches aren't as stable as they look."
  
  "What the hell are you doing here?" you shriek. The girl was surprisingly heavy."And get off me!"
  
  She simply smiles and pokes her tongue out at you. "Whoops," she mutters. "I got discovered. Tee hee. Don't mind me, you can play."
  
  Discovered? So she comes here everyday? Is there anyone else? You whirl around quickly, making sure there are no other raining spies.
  
  "So who are you?" you ask after a couple of seconds.
  
  "Well, you could say I'm the Summer Seraph!" she beams.
  
  You survey her appearance. Jet black, silk-like hair. Pale skin, even in the middle of summer. Plus a pair of feathery wings sprouting from her back. Combined with your school's uniform, it's not the cutest look.
  
  "Fly away," you snap. "You're annoying. I won't play with you here."
  
  She grins, flapping her wings. "That's a bit unfair, but...as you wish, boy!" Within seconds, she has disappeared, leaving you there with a single gold speckled feather.
  
  > Saturday
  Even though it's a Saturday, you decide to head back to the garden to practice. Its starting to become part of your daily routine. Not that you have a daily routine.
  
  Then you hear her singing.
  
  "If I close my eyes...will I see you? I miss you so...dar-ling you are my one and on-ly...you make it hard for me to be...a-lone..."
  
  The girl with golden wings.
  
  "Oh, hi, Kain!" she smiles, waving. You don't remember telling her your name. "I thought you'd come. I was waiting for you. Isn't it peaceful here? It's even better in the weekends because there's nobody here."
  
  You grin. The girl in front of you reminds you of your sister. "Would you like to hear me play?"
  
  "Sure!" she says, giggling. "I never got a chance to hear you play before!"
  
  You take out your violin and play and loud as you can to drown out the sound of your beating heart.
  
  > Days pass...
  Days go by quickly, and it's getting closer to June. Today is another typical Sunday. You know you should go to school and practice playing on your violin. Or you can go and see what shit is on sale in town.
  
  > Shopping Centre
  The shopping centre is crowded with screaming people. Of course. It's the weekends. You are hardly into shopping, but you are even less into staying home with a Justin Bieber Devotee, a.k.a your sister.
  
  Your sharp ears pick up the sound of violin music. A street performer is playing songs you wish you knew how to play. I'll never as good as him, you think.
  
  Afterschool, you immediately head to your hideaway, making sure nobody follows you. No one knows, but you come to the back garden of the school everyday to practice playing.

  You are just about to take out your violin when a human girl literally falls down on top of you.
  
  > say "What are you doing?!"
  The girl looked stunned for a while. "Hmph, looks like I'm not cut out to be a ninja." She stood up and brushed herself out, blushing a little.
  
  You stare. "What kind of ninja would wear wings?" you scoff, glimpsing at her get-up. She looks like some cosplay freak you would only see in magazines. Wings don't look good with the school uniform.
  
  "My kind," she simply replies. "Don't ask."
  
  "And you are..."
  
  "I'm the Summer Seraph!" she giggles, flapping her wings. "What do they call it...champion of justice? I'm here watch you play!"
  
  Champion of Justice? She must be a kindergarten graduate. "Go away. I don't want an audience. I'm practicing. Don't need you here."
  
  "I wanna hear you play!" she pouts. "Please...!"
  
  You sigh. "Maybe tomorrow."
  
  > Saturday
  Even though it's a Saturday, you decide to head back to the garden to practice. Its starting to become part of your daily routine. Not that you have a daily routine.
  
  Then you hear her singing.
  
  "If I close my eyes...will I see you? I miss you so...dar-ling you are my one and on-ly...you make it hard for me to be...a-lone..."
