Chapter 5

Willow's POV

Nick grabbed Flynn then proceeded to stuff him in a bag. Flynn lashed out the best he could with his nails and teeth. "Run Willow!" Flynn managed to yell before a rag was shoved into his mouth.

With tears in my eyes, I did as my brother said. It ripped my heart to do too. I jumped to a different branch and missed it. Following instinct, I flared open my wings. When my fall slowed, I pushed downwards with my wings, sending myself skyward. I struggled to stay aloft. The longer I moved my wings, the better I got. But I also got more tired. "Flynn! Hang in there!" I yelled, diving down where her brother was. An Eraser held a bag open, running around trying to be under me so if I fell, I landed in the bag. It would've been more funnier if the whole situation wasn't so scary. I flew past him, ripping the bag that held Flynn from Nick's hands. "Stop moving you dumbdumb! Do you want me to drop you?" I said through clenched teeth.

"Willow?" Flynn's voice was scared. Well, I think he said my name, since he still had the rag in his mouth.

"Yeah, who else would it be? Now shush. I need to focus or we'll fall out of the sky and right into their hands." Flynn was silent after that.

I flew towards the house we saw earlier, not sure where else to go. Nick and his pack had went away to somewhere. I couldn't see them anywhere. When I went down to land, my wing hit a tree branch that I didn't see and I lost control. I screamed. We tumbled down quickly. Flynn ripped his way out of the bag before he hit the ground. I crashed down next to him.

We groaned together as one. It took us a minute to find the will to sit up. I took stock of out injuries. Flynn had a bruise forming on his cheek, scratches all over his body along with a long cut on his leg. Blood was quickly staining his pants. I myself could feel several bruises forming all over my body and I couldn't feel my wings. When I turned to look at them, I saw blood speckled on them. My shoulder stated to ache painfully. I gently put my hand on my wing and pulled it back to see it was covered in blood. I felt like crying. If Harmony had been here, she would've taken care of us.

"Someone's coming," Flynn mumbled suddenly.

"Who?" I asked, struggling to get my feet. If I had to meet anyone, it would be on my feet. Flynn looked like he was going to faint. "Hey Flynn, just hang in there okay?" I said soothingly. I didn't know what do if Flynn fainted, but Flynn fainted a few seconds after saying, "Trust them. They're safe."

"Flynn!" I cried, dropping to my knees to my brother. All that movement send the world spinning.

A twig snapped. My head snapped up at the sound. I watched closely as a man and a woman slowly walked towards us. I froze. They were beautiful; too beautiful. They had to be Erasers! No, I told myself. Erasers can't be that pale and there has never been a girl Eraser before. And Flynn said to trust them. I calmed down slightly, but I was still wary of them. The man had blonde hair and kind honey-golden eyes. The woman had pretty light brown hair and matching eyes. Their eyes were wide at the sight of us, wide at the sight of my wings. "Please help us. Please don't let anyone find out about us. Don't let them take us back!" I whispered, then I fainted myself.
