(ON HOLD) Horns and Shadows // [demon AU]

8) Falling

Zak/Skeppy POV

WHAT DO I DO?

I watch as both Darryl and a6demon fall from the sky. a6demon seems to be holding his wing with one hand and is reaching out to Darryl with the other. Darryl is trying to reach a6demon but can't.

"How can I save them?!" I ask to no one in particular.

"Your wings! Fly!" Vincent shouts back.

But I can't fly right! How can I save them if I can't even fly myself?

"I can't!"

"You have to! Save Darryl, I think I can get a6demon."

"How?"

"I just can! Now go! Fly!" He says before completely zoning out.

"What?!"

I have to fly don't I? But how?

I take a deep breath before trying to fly once again.

Vincent/a6d POV

A6DEMON! What is happening?!

I can't fly! Darryl hit my wing.

What do you mean he hit your wing?

Anyone else touching my wings will make them freeze up, they've always been that way. That's why you can't touch them.

Ok, but how long does it last?

It depends.

Can you make me a pair of wings? It's the only thing I can think of.

No. Not enough energy.

I watch as he tries unsuccessfully to forcefully open his other wing. The one that is working is aimlessly trying to balance his weight, slightly slowing his fall. Trying to move his working wing will cause him to spin in circles, which wouldn't help.

Zak/Skeppy POV

I look up at the sky, determined to save Darryl. Vincent says he could get Darryl before he zoned out, so I'll believe him.

I spread my odd colored wings and take off. Each wing beat is crooked and uneven, but it is enough to keep me in the air. I steady myself before flying higher. Again, the sense of falling comes, but I ignore it and climb higher.

I have to do this, for Darryl.

I fly above Darryl and grab onto his arm. He is so much heavier than I thought.

"Hold on!" I yell.

Each wing beat becomes increasingly harder with the added weight. I think about trying to get Darryl to move but then the same thing might happen to me that happened to a6demon. I slowly descend back to to the ground.

I feel Darryl's hand slip.

"No!"

Again he was falling down. Seemingly faster than before. But this time he doesn't have as much time. I hover in the air and look to my wings prepared to do anything to save him. I do the only thing that comes to mind.
