Tommy chocked.
All of the air left his lungs.
He heard a snap.
His wings were burning.
Don't cry.
Distantly, he could hear Micheal start to scream.
But the pain was so much louder.
Don't cry.
He heard a cackle. Than a rasp.
"You listen 'ere kid. You ain't gonna make any noise. Or yer baby ain't gon be screaming much longer. Got it?"
Don't cry.
Micheal was still screaming.
His wings were still stabbed with flames.
Tears began to prick his eyes.
Don't cry.
Tommy managed to nod.
The man giggled. "Good. Now turn out yer pockets. Or I'll start snapping the baby's fingers."
He screwed his eyes shut.
Don't cry.
A whisper.
The hand left his throat.
A breath.
The man froze in his place.
A command.
"Don't move."
Tommy's breath was stolen again.
danger danger danger run run hide danger hide
the thing with claws muttered.
Micheal stilled against his chest.
run run hide danger not not safe danger danger
it hissed louder. More panicked.
His eyes were still shut. He was frozen.
RUN. HIDE. DANGER. it screamed.
Oh little creature, if he could run, he would have been gone long, long ago.
"You. Give me everything you have. Then go find a cop and turn yourself in. Don't stop walking."
Fabric rustled. Keys clinked. Gravel crunched.
The mugger choked on his words, sputtering and spitting. Turned. And left.
"You."
Tommy shuddered as the man turned to face him. He didn't want trouble. He just wanted to go home, put Micheal to sleep, unbind his wings and pass out.
"You can move, but don't run away."
And just like that, he felt his body relax. His eyes peel open. Micheal snort in shock against his chest.
It was right. He was in danger.
The man stood there. Smiling.
