Hidden Angel (Pentatonix - Kirstie Maldonado)

Chapter 1

Calypso missed her twin sister like crazy, but she knew this was for the best. Well, what she thought was the best, although her sister didn't agree. Her wavy, long, dark hair flowed in waves down her back over her black angel wings. No one except her family knew about her wings and that was the way she intended to keep it. Even though her wings had saved her life on more than one occasion, she was afraid of the consequences if she was discovered. That she did not want.

She was born with slits on her back but her wings didn't really start to develop until she was about 5. She also had invisibility skills, which came along with her wings, so she could keep her wings (and, if she chose to, herself) invisible if she needed to. No one in her family knew why she was like this, but none of them cared. They all accepted her as she was.

Growing up, Calypso was home schooled. The main reason being to avoid potential discovery about her wings, because she and her family knew that if she was discovered, she would most likely end up dissected and experimented on because it's not normal for a human to have large, black angel wings. She never officially met any of Kirstie's friends either. When Kirstie decided to go on The Sing Off with her new acappella group, Pentatonix, Calypso knew that it was time for her to disappear. She promised herself and her parents that she would keep an eye on her sister to make sure that she was safe.

She was currently at one of Pentatonix's shows (she is at pretty much every single Pentatonix concert), sitting atop one of the rails on the ceiling, unnoticed in the darkness by all the screaming fans. She was watching her sister with a smile on her face. She closed her eyes and listened as her sister's voice echoing through the venue in her solo. Kirstie was still short, but had matured so much. She was beautiful and no longer had the long brown hair they shared as they grew up, but now had short, wavy, blonde hair, which Calypso thought suited her very well. Calypso hadn't talked to her sister in person since she left for The Sing Off, but she has been keeping an eye on her to make sure she was safe.

Soon enough, the concert had ended and Pentatonix was heading offstage. She waited until all the fans had filed out before jumping off the railing and gliding to the ground, her wings spread out in order to guide her to the ground. Calypso landed lightly on her feet but sensed someone behind her. She spun around only to be faced with her shocked sister. What was she still doing here?

"Calypso?" Kirstie asked, a look of shock and disbelief at seeing her sister for the first time in years.

"Hello Kirstie." Calypso greeted her sister, a soft smile on her face.

"What are you doing here?" Kirstie asked her in a shocked and amazed tone.

"I came to hear you sing. Question is, what are you doing here at such a late hour? Shouldn't you be on the road or back at your hotel by now?" Calypso asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I forgot something." Kirstie replied.

"Have you got it yet?" Calypso asked.

"Yeah, I have. Why haven't you come to visit me? The last time I saw you in person was the day I left for The Sing Off." Kirstie asked. Calypso could hear the curiosity and hurt in her sister's voice, and even see it etched on her face.

"I was always there, watching over you. I just made it so that no one saw me. For example, I was watching you all tonight but I was sitting on the railings on the ceiling so I went unnoticed. I couldn't risk exposure." Calypso replied, pointing up.

"Please would you at least come and meet my band?" Kirstie begged.

"You know why I can't Kirst." Calypso said sadly, sadness clear in her eyes and on her face.
