Faded Wings [Birdtale Sans x Reader]

Chapter 39- Flying Weather

You two strolled through the woods silently. While your mind was filled with a tsunami of thoughts. What is going to happen when we get back? How long have the others been searching for us? Are we going to have to go to the police? Are they going to ask me about the scars? What am I going to say? What happened to the Shadow? Is he in jail or did they let him go? No, they wouldn't do that. Would they? Are we going to have to go to court? Will they separate us? One by one they crashed into each other, mixing in an order that didn't completely make sense. However, they grew more frightening and terrifying as you neared the end of the woods. Your greatest wish and worst nightmare were finally coming true. You just didn't know how to handle it yet.

"Hey [Y/N] we're almost out," Skyla disclosed as the trees began to thin and the sun grew brighter. She dragged you out of your downward spiral and the woods. 

The bright sun blinded your eyes a bit, making you squint quickly as rainbows clouded your vision. Slowly, they began to dissipate and you were greeted with a beautiful view. From where you stood, you could see the majority of the town. The small shops crowding around the small concrete lanes. The colorful houses shined in the morning light. Bright leaves littered the ground like messy sprinkles. However, they added color to the clean and neatly cut grass. You peered up, seeing clear blue skies. Not a single cloud in the sky and the breeze today didn't seem to be too strong. Perfect flying weather, you thought as you felt an itch in your wings. 

"Sky what do you think about flying to the cafe," you questioned as you tore your eyes from the vibrant sky. Skyla turned sharply towards you with wide eyes and a slacked jaw. "What you don't what me to fly us to the cafe," you repeated with a smile.

"Really?! You never fly," she exclaimed.

"Well, I flew yesterday to get us here," you noted with your hands raised as you shrugged, "Also, the town's really far from here. So why not?" In other words, you were saying, 'What else do I have to lose? Everyone's already seen them.' You watched as her smile began to stretch wider than you have ever seen before. She shook and hopped in place from excitement.

"Yes, Yes, Yes," she squealed loudly as nodding vigorously, "A thousand times yes!" You smirked at her reaction and stepped in front of her, putting an arm out and pushing her back.

"Stand back," you said. Slowly building up the energy for your medium black and white wings. After the quick summoning yesterday, you were extremely tired. It had been ages since you used your wings for flying, nevertheless, diving! So, your wings were slightly tender from underuse. Not to mention, that the sharp gusts of wind and the previous nights beating were still healing. You close your eyes and focused.

You listened to the whipping of the wind as it blew past you. The shuffling of the leaves from the trees. You thought about yourself dancing and soaring with birds. Breaking through the fluffy clouds and greeting the sun. You felt a tingle behind you and tried to expand it. You felt the breeze pushing the hair in your ponytail. As well as the wind cutting climbing onto your back through the holes in your shirt. Plus the sun heating your neck and face. You felt the tingle grow and grow larger, only needing to do one more thing. You breathed in deeply and let it out. I want to fly! You opening your eyes quickly and you summoned your wings behind you, stretching them to their full width.

"Oh my god," she whooped, "OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GODDD!!" You twisted towards her and laughed. Skyla was fanning herself with wide-eyes like a fangirl getting her dream come true.

"What Sky there just a pair of wings," you teased with a smirk. Her eyes snapped towards you with a face that could only be seen as 'Really?!'

"NO THEIR AMAZING," Skyla complicated stretching her arms out to showcase their 'greatness'. It was kind of like the Will Smith meme. She bounced towards your wings and reached out to the edge of your feathers, gently placing a single hand on them. Upon contact, you flinched lightly, briefly flashing to the Shadow pulling your feathers and laughing. However, after you realized that these hands weren't hurting you, you relaxed a little. Feeling her small fingers drawing over your feathers, putting moons and planets with your stars. It feels really nice, you thought as you closed your eyes. "Hey [Y/N]," Skyla called a little bit quieter. No longer bouncing and smiling as brightly, but more in focus.

"Mhm," you hummed.

"What happened to your wings," she asked quietly, her hand softly running over one of your new wounds. Your eyes snapped open as you winced loudly, feeling a burning pain by the slight pressure on the cut. You grimaced and pulled away, grabbing the injured part of your wing. Trying to protect it from any more abuse. Skyla's attention snapped to your pained face and stepped back with raised hands. "What hurt you," she questioned worriedly.

You looked over at her. Her eyes had tears peeking out of them as the hopped from scar to scar. She clenched her fists tightly when she noticed the burn marks and the sections of pulled feathers. She's worried about me, you thought slightly astonished yet, you felt more concerned about it. I can't tell her that he did, you thought, if they let him go and she was to know...

"Ah, it's something you don't know," you answered slightly lying.

She was able to get a glimpse of the shadow, however, she didn't understand. The Shadow was completely different than you- her father. Her father was a kind man who loved and cared for his children. While the Shadow enjoyed seeing everyone in pain and misery. It was like the switch in you. When it was on, he was her father and when it was off, he was the shadow. Two completely different settings and people.

"But don't worry," you assured her with a smile, "I'm fine." Skyla eyed you up and down, glancing every now and again at your wings. "Now come on," you said changing the subject, "I want to get a chocolate muffin before their all gone." This seemed to snap her out of her inner debate.

"MUFFINS," she cheered as ran over to you, lifting her hands in a pick me up motion. Forgetting all about her concern a couple of seconds ago. It was always easy to do that with Skyla. You laughed softly and lifting her up.

"I'm going to need you to wrap your legs around my waist. While you wrap your arms around my chest," you ordered. Quickly she followed your instructions and held on tight. "Now when I take off, it's going to get really fast and windy," you explained, "So, it is best to keep your head down until I say so. Okay?"

"Okay," she beamed as she put her face in your chest. You sighed quietly, god is this uncomfortable. Knowing that she is now willingly shoving her head between your boobs. You shook your head lightly and spread your wings out again. Flapping them a little, helping you get into a good pace.

"Here we go," you shouted as you launched up.

A/N- Why an early chapter and a question for you.

I posted this week's chapter earlier because May 10th is a really busy/long day for me. 

First of all its mother's day! So, I gotta make everything amazing and fantabulous for my mom. I'm planning to make her some pancake art of her favorite things and some sayings. I don't know how that is going to turn out so, wish me some luck! Also, I'm letting her put makeup on me, which I dislike a lot! But, I'll do it for her. 

Second, it's my birthday! I'm going to get the usual wave of 'happy birthdays' and everyone in my fam. is going to facetime me. So, it's kind of going to drain my energy a lot and I'm probably going to forget to post.

However, I also have a question for you guys. Would you like it if I did something for this? Like a mother's day special or a Q & A or anything. I've tried in the past multiple times and nobody really says anything. Yet, I'm still determined! There are new readers every day and I feel like they should have a chance to decide too! So, write a comment about how you feel and what you may like to see. Think of it as a gift from me to you as I grow older. 

Anyways that's it! 

Have a great day and be you boo!

Luna_Storm_72 OUT!

I'm going to bed.
