Wings ( A SBI Story)

1

                          A young boy named Wilbur rolled in the grass with a laugh after tripping over nothing mid-run. He was by himself but having fun all the same in the royal gardens under the watchful eye of his father, who was in his study. The Study window allowed the King to have a perfect view of the whole garden and the woods that surrounded it. He watched as his son got back on his feet before the sound of someone walking in grabbed him attention. 

                     It was his beautiful wife holding a tray that held a newly brewed pot of coffee. " How's little Wilby doing?" She asked in a soft voice smiling at her husband as he made his way over to her. She moves to set the tray on the desk the rests in the middle of the room and was shortly met with arms wrapped around her waist. " He's fine, Love. Jumping off things like normal still trying to fly." 

              The king felt his Queen lean into his touch making him smile. " He wants to be like you. Doesn't help that you make it look so fun up in the air." She commented making the king chuckle before he rested his head on her shoulder. " Long day?" She asked earning a nod from the taller man. His raven black wings drooped a little with a sigh. " I have so much to get done and I promised I'd spend time with Wilbur..." The queen hummed before turning in his grasp, facing her husband to see his tired and broken expression. 

             " With me and Techno working all the time Wil has no one to play with and he refuses to go out and find friends his age." The queen brought her king in for a soft and loving kiss to help him relax a little. " He'll be fine Phil." She said before making her way over to the window it wasn't long before panic washed over her face as she called her husband over. " Phil! I can't see Wilbur anywhere!" The king quickly made his way over to take a look for himself before panicking himself. 

            Phil run out of his study in a rush almost tripping down the stairs just to get to the garden doors before slamming them open. " WIL?!" He yelled calling for his son. His wife joined shortly after just as scared as he was. " WILBUR!?" She called before Phil ran back in the castle to get his guards to search the grounds for his son. 

=======================

                 After a bit of laughing at himself for being so clumsy, Wilbur got back on his feet again just in time to see a fluffy, grey tail hide in one of the many bushes that combined the garden to the woods beyond. Curiosity got the better of the young boy and he followed close behind, eventually ending up surrounded by tall and wild trees. Wilbur's eyes were wide with wonder as he looked around before his attention was quickly caught by the movement of a small dog-like beast with that same fluffy grey tail Wil was fallowing. 

                 Wilbur followed the grey pup deeper into the woods until a deep growl came from the shadows in front of the small creature that he was fallowing, causing him to come to a stop. A much bigger version of the dog emerged from the shadows with his teeth showing in a not so friendly way and his green eyes were set on the small boy as he snarled. Wilbur stepped back away from the beast before he tripped on a rock causing him to fall back on his one of his wings. 

              The boy yelled out in pain before his was quickly surrounding by a group of mean looking dogs. Wilbur quickly got up, shoving some of the dogs out of the way before making a run for it. He didn't make it far before he was caught by one of them. " DAD!!" Wilbur called in terror and pain hoping, by some miracle, his dad would hear him call and save him from this nightmare. 

========================================

                   When Techno was informed of his little brother's disappearance he instantly jumped into action looking in all Wilbur's favorite hiding spots and as the sun set for the day's end Techno decided to check the garden once more. The older boy was completely prepared to return to his parents empty handed and was already thinking about staying out here all night looking for Wilbur.
