Chapter 42: The Silence

Walking out of the factory with Makenzie, a familiar dark silhouette stood a distance away from us. The screeching of sharp metal grinding against one another reaches us, making me grow concerned.

"...W-What is that...?" Makenzie hid behind me, trusting me with her life.

His dark form gave off a very intense protective vibe over me, until he watched Makenzie hide behind me. His feathers began to soften, along with his mood.

A smile formed upon my lips, sensing him grow soft, I take off running toward him, allowing him to catch me once in reach.

Amon held me tightly, lifting me off my feet as his purring grew loud, he buried his face into my neck, "...You can't keep doing this to me, Viv..." The pain was clear in his voice.

My face buried in his neck as well, my hat fell off my head, "...I'm sorry, Amon...I had so much to do..."

"How many lives did you save?" His purrs rumbled through his words, very proud of me despite everything on his end.

I giggled a little, "...Hundreds..." His form felt so warm against my clothes, breathing in his scent drew tears to my eyes.

Makenzie stood before the doorway, watching me hug a large creature with two giant wings, she began to assume, "...Is this your mate...?"

Her voice snaps her existence back into my head, making me pull myself from Amon despite wanting to stay there forever. I look at her while laughing a little, "No. This is Amon, my mate's brother."

Amon eyes me almost dangerously, not understanding the situation and the fact I am introducing him to a human, "Who is this human?"

"This is Makenzie, I just saved her life. Two friends of hers just tried to kill her inside...she has an abusive father at home, and had been staying here for a while to avoid him. I will be taking her in until I have a chance to move her farther away from Florida. Then, she will be given to a human family who are allies with my species" I informed him, retrieving my hat from the ground.

Amon's eyes lock onto hers, trusting my decision to make her aware of things. Makenzie's fear remains, Amon quietly taking in the scent of it. She looks at me, "Let me know where we are going, so I can get us there."

Watching her, I walked back over, "You got a car somewhere?"

She smiles, "Yes. It is my dad's, its over here-"

My voice interrupted her, "Chances are, your father had already informed authorities that his car had been stolen. Driving around with the plates of a stolen car wouldn't be your best move. Wouldn't you rather..." My wings sprout from my back, perfectly fitting through two slits in the back of my outfit, "..fly?"

She nearly staggers backward at the sight of my wings, her eyes wide in shock, "...You have wings...? I...I don't think I can fly with you..." Her fear was as clear as day.

I motion over toward Amon, "He can carry you, if you feel more comfortable that way. I won't drop you, either. But driving that vehicle is not an option."

Her heart gets caught in her throat, her stomach twisting, "I-I can't...please don't make me do this..."

Crossing my arms, I think of a different way, "Well, there is teleportation. But with that, there is a chance that you could get torn apart during the transition through the fragments of reality. Take your pick, my own car isn't anywhere near here either. I left that back in Texas."
