Faded Wings [Birdtale Sans x Reader]

Chapter 36- The Fall

"SKYLAAAA," you shouted as you watched the shadow push her over the railing. A series of gasps and shouts sounded as your sister fell.

"AAAAAAAAAA," Skyla screamed, ripping every bit of calm and happiness in your body.

You dropped the cotton candy and ran through the crowd, stepping on the forgotten treat. Shoving people out of your way as you made your way to the front. Earning loud curses and swears in your direction. However, they were completely drowned out by Skyla's ear-piercing scream. Your mind was in a frenzy, thoughts and worries were being shot out a mile a second. But, they were so many that they muddled with each other and overlapped one another. Yet, one thing stood strong in your mind as you began to rip off your leather coat. Allowing it to drop onto the floor without a single care.

Nearing the front, you saw everyone's scared and frightened face. Frisk and MK were being held back by the two furry goat monsters. While Undyne was restraining the shadow, who was struggling against her. Papyrus was in front of Undyne trying to calm the shadow down, during the time Alphys was trying to soothe Undyne from hurting the shadow. sans, however, had his eyelights out as he snapped his head from you to Skyla. Putting pieces together.

"[Y/N] DON'T," sans yelled out as he stepped in front of your path. Trying to stop you as he knew what you were going to do. But, you only had one thing standing in your mind.

I gotta save her

You hopped onto the top of the railing for the stairs and pushed off with all your might. Launching yourself over sans and the 'safety' railing, over the edge. Your eyes landed on your sister and your heart shattered. She was flailing all over the place, her usually neatly brushed hair was flying all over her face. Some of it sticking from the tears that fell from her eyes. Her mouth opened as she continued to scream with her eyes shut. You adjusted yourself so that you were pointed vertically with your face down. Arms tightly on your side as you sped down to your target. Old memories of flying practice running through your head.

"SKYLA," you shouted, but she was in too much panic to hear you. You had to get her to calm down and listen to you. "SKYLA IT'S [Y/N]," you shouted louder. You saw her peek her eye open slightly to see you, closing it quickly again afterward.

"[YYY/NNNN]," she replied as more tears crept out her eyes. Reaching up trying to grab you yet, all she grabbed as air as you were too far. At least she now knew that you were with her.

"SKYLA I'M RIGHT HERE! NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU," you assured her. You noticed that this gave her some ease as she began to relax a little bit. No longer screaming and flailing her arms. Instead, she held her arms to her chest as she was still slightly scared. However, this only increased her momentum and caused her to fall faster. You needed her to focus on something else other than the fall. This would make the process a lot easier.

"SKYLA OPEN YOUR EYES," you exclaimed louder, "OPEN YOUR EYES!" Slowly you watched as she opened her eyes a peek, only to shut them tightly again.

"I CAN'T," she yelled in response.

"YES YOU CAN," you prodded, "I KNOW YOU CAN!" She simply shook her head quickly as tightened her arms around her. She's too scared. "SKYLA I NEED YOU TO OPEN YOUR EYES," you stressed as you glanced at the nearing ground.

"I CAN'T."

"COME ON SIS I GOT YOU! TRUST ME," you begged. Gradually she peeked her eyes open, this time she kept it open. "YEAH THAT IT'S," you encouraged her, "OPEN YOUR EYES AND FOCUS ON ME." Slowly but surely she had her eyes fully open. Staring at you with brown fear-filled orbs. Good.

Now you needed to get her to slow down.

"NOW I NEED YOU TO LET YOUR ARMS GO AND SPREAD IT OUT," you explained, "AS IF YOU WERE MAKING A GIANT X!" You noticed as she attempted to spread them. But, her breathing sharpened and she began to panic from the force of the wind hitting her arms. Throwing her off-balance and making her feel insecure. "RELAX SKYLA," you directed, "JUST FOCUS ON ME!" You felt her eyes bore into you as she looked at you for assurance. You nodded at her with a small smile, hoping that she would relax more. "FOCUS ON ME," you stated. Steadily she regained her balance with her arms and legs out, decreasing her momentum and slowing down.

With this new adjustment, your body rocketed towards her at quick speeds. Closer and closer, nearing her as she focused on your determined expression. That hid every ounce of fear due to your fear that it would cause her to panic again. You felt the cuts on your back burn as the wind cut into them. However, you didn't care.

Skyla.

You needed to save Skyla.

You reached out towards her with an extended hand, which she tried to return. Just a little bit closer, you thought as you dropped a bit more. The ground was coming closer as you could no longer see the white lines of the field. Your arm swung and missed her hand. Just a little bit closer, you thought. Once again you reached for her but, missed. Just a little bit closer, you thought. You didn't have a lot of time left. Brushing your fingers against hers. Just a little be closer, you thought. You could almost pick apart the details of each blade of grass. Just a little bit clos-

Suddenly, you felt her little soft hand grasp onto yours. Quickly you pulled her into your body, wrapping your arms around her. As you summoned your wings within seconds and opened them just before hitting the ground. Your hand was tickled by the grass as you glided. You held onto Skyla harshly until you lost speed, landing in the middle of the field. Your wings wrapped around you two as a shelter, hiding you guys from the world.

"Skyla are you okay," you asked quietly as you tried to peel her away from you. Her arms tightened around you as she shook in fear. Ugly sobs escaping from her small form as her tears and snot strained your light grey shirt. You opened your mouth again, only to realize the loud commotion around you.

You peered over your wings and scanned the area. Almost everyone had wide-eyed faces and slacked jaws. However, a few had their hands over their mouth as they stood frozen looking up. You glanced up and felt your blood run cold. You were on the big screen, your cut up and destroyed wings hiding Skyla were on display for everyone to see. You looked behind you towards the flying drone camera with your eyes frozen open. In the corner of your eye, you could see people flying towards you. Frisk and MK were being flown down by the two furry goat monsters. While your 'friends', Mr. Smith, and security were flying to you at a quick speed. However, the biggest surprise was that sans was at the front of everyone. Staring at you with large concern and worry. But, you couldn't. You knew that they were going to question the scars and cuts and you couldn't evade them. Everyone saw it, there were witnesses and video evidence. You darted glances from the camera to them and knew what you needed to do. You couldn't...

No one could know.

"[Y/N]," sans called as he neared you.

However, before he could say another word you launched into the air. Still holding onto Skyla as you escaped. You flew to somewhere you knew nobody would find you.
