Yes, I did drop her but I was going to catch her. I did a flip in the air then leaned down towards the ground tucking my wings in so I could shoot down with low air resistance. I caught her just before she hit the ground and dropped her onto the dusty cool sands. She stared at me in shock.
"NO MORE FLYING!" She screamed, her eyes lighting up with fear.
"I'm sorry." I mumbled.
"SORRY DOESN'T CUT IT!" She yelled again. Then she mumbled something in a different language and sped off with her vampire speed toward the village. She was just a blur through the night, finally lighting up outside one of the houses. A figure emerged then disappeared into the house with Scarlett.
I spread my wings and shot up into the sky. A tear dripped down my check and fell to the sands below. I flew up to the clouds and hid behind the first layer of clouds. I curled up in a ball keeping my wings going and wept like I never have before. It wasn't from pain like in the lab, I have no idea what it was, but it just hurt.
I stayed there for hours and hours floating above the clouds slowly dozing off in the sky. Finally I just fell asleep not knowing what would happen when I was flying and slept. I was so caught up in trying to make myself better; I just forgot I was even flying. My wings stopped and I dropped. I have no idea how long but I woke up from the cool winds hitting hard against my body. The air resistance was high with my wings spread, but gravity won the fight. I woke up startled and forgot how to fly. I was flapping around in the wind trying to gain control. Eventually I turned so the ground was in front of me, shooting towards me and my wings were straight. I flapped them once and I slowed down. I flapped them twice and I started to reach the point of rising but I was still going towards the ground. I decided to roll with it and tilt instead using the velocity I have to keep moving. I tilted my outstretched wings and shot up into the sky heading towards the village close to me now. I shot straight over the top looking around. People were gathering staring at me. One had a catapult with a net in it. The net flew through the air spinning towards me. I dodged one but another caught my right wing. The net got tangled with my arms and legs as I fell towards the ground not being able to fly. I crashed on the pavement of the ground with a sickening crack. Pain spread through my body but instantly started to stop. I opened my eyes whilst curling in a ball. My vision was blurry I felt the rope from the nets rubbing on my skin. I looked at my arms. Blood was dribbling down from the large cuts that had skinned my arms down to the bone. But my flesh was moving. It was slowly stitching itself over, covering the skin and closing up the cuts. The blood stopped oozing and my vision cleared. I looked around and saw Scarlett on the ground beside me knocked out and also tangled in a net. People where standing around us holding daggers and guns. One gun was pointed directly at my head. I heard it click when I shifted my wings. He quickly diverted the gun at my leg and fired. The bullet ripped through my flesh going directly through my knee. I screamed in pain and once again lost consciousness as the bullet was forced out of my leg.
