🪐 chapter ii: saved by a boy with wings

1930, February 07 ─ TOMORROW’S ORPHANAGE

a week has passed and the trio’s bond seems to get deeper. they don’t treat each other as friends─ well, they do but much more, they treat each other as siblings.

there’s never a day where you can see them separated. wherever the one is, the others will be there too.

just like now, yiella was on a branch of a huge tree and so does daniel and steve.

“yiella, are you sure we won’t fall off of this tree?” steve asked, voice trembling. yiella only laughed at him.

“come on, steve. don’t be such a scaredy-cat.” she said with a grin.

steve’s jaw dropped. “i-i’m not a scaredy-cat!”

daniel and yiella laughed. they both know that steve is indeed a scaredy-cat. that latter glared at them.

“daniel is a scaredy-cat too.” steve mumbled with his pouting lips. the three continued to climb up the tree despite the fact that anytime soon they would fall on the ground. but alas, they’re too stubborn to listen─especially yiella.

“y-yiella? i don’t think steve and i can climb up that high anymore.. can we please go down now?” daniel said, glancing between the height they had climbed up and yiella.

but yiella was too high to even hear a word they say. daniel wants to go after yiella however there’s a part of him that doesn’t want to climb any further. it was too dangerous.

“daniel! i’ll go down now! i can’t climb that high!”

“how about yiella?”

“tell her to go down! i’ll ask for help if she doesn’t want to!”

daniel can only nod. steve climbed down the tree whilst daniel tried to follow yiella. the latter was too occupied of what she’s doing that she didn’t noticed there was no branch on that part of the tree.

yiella fell but luckily she hold on one of the branches of the tree.

“yiella!” daniel screamed. steve gasped when he saw what was happening: yiella was hanging on a branch and daniel was trying to climb up to her.

“terry, hurry!” steve yelled. daniel’s forehead creased. terry?

daniel tried to look down and saw steve with another boy. he’s wearing.. uhm.. a thing? that looks like wings..

“he invented this wings! he needed some place higher to catch yiella!”

steve said, noticing the way daniel stared at them.

daniel looked back at yiella and noticed that her grip on the branch is slowly loosening, his eyes widened.

“steve, you need to go now! yiella can’t hold on any longer!” he screamed. on the other hand, yiella was tearing up. she was so brave to climb this tree but now that her life is in danger? she doesn’t know anymore.

yiella yelped when her one hand had finally loosened its grip on the branch. she glanced at her other hand and just like the other, it was now starting to let go.

and when her hand couldn’t hold the branch any longer, it let go.

daniel and yiella screamed but before she could finally hit the ground, a firm grip on her shoulders and legs surprised her.

both of them crashed on the ground, his arm on her head. yiella coughed because of the dirt that surrounds them.

“are you okay?” a voice asked. she looked up and saw a boy younger than her, weakly smiling.

but before she could even reply, the boy fainted. and starting that day, the trio became a quadro and that’s because yiella was saved by a boy with wings.
