The last thing you felt was throbbing in your head and losing control over your body. It was dark. A sultry darkness that burned your skin and made it hard to breathe. You thought it would last forever. You couldn't move any part of your body, not even your smallest toe. But like a snap of a finger, you opened your eyes.
You found yourself in a strange place. The trees had long pink blossoms dangling down to the forest floor and soft white feathers dropped from the sky like snow so that the ground became downy with the barbs.
You seemed to have switched clothes. You last remembered yourself in a stiff dress you wore to the party— a dark red satin garment that twirled whenever you moved, coupled with red horns to represent a devil halloween costume. Others said it was pretty, but you much preferred what you were wearing right now. It was a loose white dress replacing the red one. The fabric was made of a comfy cotton instead of the restricting silk.
You stood up slowly, hesitating in every step you took. You looked up at the dark sky. A clockwork star was laid in the very centre of it. It did not shine brightly, but rather flickered as if it was losing its time to live. The gears had stopped turning smoothly and were edging on at a sloth's pace. Everything you saw was so out of the ordinary from the place you knew before.
There were no cars racing by or thick smoke clogging up the air. Nobody was shouting curses and insults on the street, in fact, you couldn't see anyone at all. You were frightened at first, finding yourself in a foreign place so alienated from the one you were used to.
Your worries were hushed, though, as soon as you spotted him. He was sitting on a pedestal of some sort, situated by a fence and gazing up at the clockwork star with interest. The funny halloween costume he had worn to the party to match yours still seemed to be on it, or the remnants of it, at least.
The wings had been upgraded and you thought they might even have enough power to actually fly. He was still dressed in white, but he seemed more angel-like in this world. The construction of the wings mirrored the star in the sky, tiny delicate gears enabling it to move on its own.
"Kai? Where are we?" You spoke softly, stepping beside the pedestal and lacing your fingers with his as soon as he jumped down. You were scared to be separated with him again like at the party, so it was better if you kept him close.
"I'm not sure." He turned to you, head cocking to the side.
"How do we get back?" You questioned the star in the sky as if it would answer, but, of course, it didn't give you a response.
Kai's ears perked up as he heard the low meow of a cat. He clutched onto your hand a bit tighter, pushing you behind his back, shielding you with his wings.
"I don't trust anything in this place, Y/n." He whispered, eyes focusing on the woods where the sound came from. He spotted eyes amidst the deep dark trees. One blue and one green. "Y/n... I think we need to run." He gulped, trying to hide the fear in his voice but you caught on.
"Kai, can you fly with those wings?" You asked urgently. He glanced at you and then back at the eyes, watching as they came steadily closer.
"I can try." He muttered, turning back to you and hugging you to his chest tightly, "Hold on tight, love." You clasped your hands behind his neck securely, preparing to be swept up into the air. The cat emerged from the forest, evil eyes focusing on Kai's figure and dilating.
Kai breathed steadily and then jumped up just before the cat tried to swat at his feet. His wings spread out and caught the way the wind was blowing, allowing him to manoeuvre steadily forward. He held onto you tightly, paranoid that you might drop from this height.
He focused his eyes on a clifftop, managing to slow down his wings as he drew near to it. The landing was a bit rough as Kai tripped over his own feet, causing you both to roll on the soft grass several times before stopping, you landing on Kai's chest. You had tensed up in fear from the landing and as soon as you opened your eyes you noticed a glowing white orb covering you and Kai's body
"Did I do that?" You whispered, eyes examining it closely, but it soon disappeared, leaving white sparkles behind it.
"Ouch." He murmured, wings tucked behind as he gently let go of your body knowing you were safe now.
"You okay?" You asked, getting off of him as carefully as you could and brushing off your dress. He nodded with a wince, not taking any hurry to sit up. "Kai, I think I can make force fields." You said, glancing down at your hands, wondering how they managed to create the field in the first place.
"Really?" Kai stared at you with wide eyes, now sitting up. "Can you do it again?"
You nodded, "I can try." You closed your eyes, tensed your body, and sure enough, the white field surrounded you once again. You opened one of your eyes slightly, glancing around you to make sure it was properly there before grinning.
"Woah..." Kai reached out to touch it, his hand gliding through the white barrier once you relaxed your body. You vanished it altogether once the experiment was over, and glanced around the cliff you were on.
"Hey, look." You urged with wide eyes, noticing what looked like a portal opening up near you. "Do you think that'll take us back?"
"We don't have anywhere else to go." Kai reasoned, standing up and taking your hand again. "We narrowly escaped that cat... Plus, you have force fields now- what's the worst thing that could be on the other side of this?"
You nodded, bravely taking steps toward the portal with Kai. Once you stepped in, everything turned white.
