Unlikely [C]

Chapter sixteen: Fly

Ricky smirked as he made the captain actually move the ship. He sat back, twirling in a spinny chair. He was like a large child now. Chris and Angelo sat in a corner, Chris whispering sweet nothings into the man's ear.

"You'll be okay." Ricky whispered. "No one will harm you anymore. Just stay away from the man with green hair and black hair."

"What?" Angelo frowned.

"Trust me." Ricky chuckled. "Avoid him." Ricky stood up as he watched a small island near them. He frowned at the sight of several boats in the water heading towards them. "Hm. I didn't see this. Someone down there is making it impossible. It's just black... Where's Kuza?!" Ricky pressed his hands to the glass, glaring out.

"Ricky, what even are you?" Angelo whispered.

"I'm not... I'm a pure blood Angelo."

"What? You'd have to be... What the hell? You're obviously not..."

"Registered? Like I'd get registered." Ricky muttered as he crossed his arms. "Kuza isn't out there. He must still be on the island. I really hate having such a clear head." He sighed. "You can stop the ship here. I suggest you surrender fast. They're coming for a fight."

"Ricky, be safe." Angelo whispered.

"I will." He nodded. "Chris, stay away from the man with green and black hair. I mean it." Ricky left them in the room, slowly making his way downstairs. He shook his head, clenching his fists. He was angry that he'd have to go over water to find Kuza.

Ricky managed to avoid most of the fighting. It was when he got onto the deck that he was scared. A man's stood there with a gun pointed at him. Ricky shook his head, eyes wide.

"Where did you get that?" Ricky whispered.

"Not telling and I'm not going to kill you. I just thought you were a human." The man grunted. "Who are you?"

"Ricky."

"Kuza's friend." The man whispered. "You're older than I thought."

"Don't tell him I'm like this. I'm changing back soon. I hate being able to... Understand what I see." Ricky whispered. "Where is my little demon?"

"Back on the island. I'm Ryan by the way. Where's Angelo and Chris? He wants them too."

"Up there." Ricky stated, pointing to the room. "Angelo is in shape to fly. He was hurt."

"I know." Ryan whispered. "I was the one who saved Kuza. Please go to him. He's alone."

Ricky slowly walked to the edge of the ship. Sure he could fly but he was scared. He was always scared of such large bodies of water. "I can do this." He whispered unfurling his grey stone like wings. "I won't fall. I won't fall." Ricky jumped off, closing his eyes as used his other sight to guide him without having to look down.
