Winged Worry

11.

Amaya POV

We took Jin to his home on the way to ours. I was sitting on Shun's lap and hugged him, his wings were wrapped around me, which feels so relaxing. That tons of thoughts what was in my head finally disappeared and I could think straight for a bit. Everything is still scaring me but now I know I'm in good hands.

We arrived at our house and got out of the car. I was hugging Shun's right arm tightly, he covered me with his greenish-gray wings.

Shun took a deep breath, we are living at the edge of the city and the air here is freaher here than in the city. "home, sweet home!"

We walked in and Shun sat me down on the couch. "I'll go help Tosh bring in the stuff. I'll be right back!" he slowly pulled his arm out of my grip and stood up. I watched him walking to the door and leave. As the door closed I got a flashback.

FLASHBACK:

I wake up in a dark, cold room. My entire body hurts a bit. I looked up and saw someone standing in front of me. I couldn't see his face. I only blinked and at the next second I found myself trowen at the metal bed behind me. I hit my head, it's fucking hurt! I felt a strong grip at the button of my wings. He lifted me by my wings and trow me at the wall, like I was a trash bag. There was a heating grid on the wall. It was turned on, it's very hot. He pushed me to it and I felt my wings burning. He ripped a few of my feathers out and pushed 'em at the heating grid.

The feather is everyone's weakness and it's the biggest crime you could make, burning or ripping out someone's feathers. They're very sensitive and even if they are not attached anymore you still can feel if something touch it or worse.

I felt a gentle pat on my shoulder. I quickly opened my eyes and jump up from the couch. I could hardly catch my breath. I was breathing heavily and fast, my eyes started filling up with tears. My body is shaking...

"Amaya! Amaya! Hey!" Toshiro hold me to catch me if I'd fall. He gently rub my back, avoiding the spot where my wings were.

Shun watched us, worried from the other side of the couch. He was froze down. He only left for two minutes and this happened.

"hey.. You good?.. Dodo... Clam down. There's no one who wants to hurt you.. Sh... It's just us" Toshiro said. He hugged me and wrapped his wings around us.

I slowly started to clam down. My breath slowed down a little. I hugged him back and cried on his shoulder.
"why didn't you saved me?! You promised to not let anyone hurt me! You lied to me! You weren't there! I needed you two dumbasses!! I fucking needed you and you weren't there!" I didn't really meant it, did I? I just needed something to relieve my tension. I dug my nails into Toshiro's back while hugging him so tight.

"I'm so sorry, Dodo.. I couldn't be with you... I wasn't there when you needed me.. I'm sorry! I was looking for you everywhere! But—.. I- I couldn't find you!" Toshiro's voice become shaky at the end of his sentence. He hugged me so tight. We all remind in silent. After like two minutes I felt a dip running down my back. I looked up and saw Toshiro crying. The last time I saw him crying was 5 years ago when James was drunk and beat him up.
