Octavian

The flight attendant appeared. "Is everything okay here?"

They most definitely did not look okay. They were all covered in scratches and peck marks, and the room was in utter chaos.

"We're fine." Rachel said.

"Oh. That's good." The flight attendant said, before reaching over and pushing Rachel into thin air.

"What the fuck?!" Lunella, Daniel and Octavian yelled. Daniel never swore. Never.

Octavian ran to the door and did what Lunella had instructed him to do. "Maia!"

Wings sprouted from the sneakers Lunella had given him, and he flew after Rachel.

She was falling, she was falling too fast-
He swore, and urged his shoes to go faster.

Her eyes were closed, her paint-stained hands outstretched.

Octavian grabbed it, and tried to stay balanced.

Rachel's eyes snapped open. "What-"

Octavian shushed her. "I'm trying to get the hang of it!"

He carried Rachel bridal style, and tried to keep his balance.
The good news: they stopped falling.
The bad news: they were still in midair.
