Hi guys! sorry this is kinda short but I have writer's block at the moment ^_^' I tried making it longer but if I did it wouldn't come out the best it could be and I don't want to post anything that I didn't put my all into... i'll try to make the next chapter long..
Metamorphosis
Fakir pov.
The words spilled from my mouth as I told the story. Duck stayed suspended in motion flapping her wings, her eyes widening at each word.
I noticed Duck started to cry and sob softly, but I continued. I had to finish this. I had to tell her the whole story, of course if she still wanted to run away after it was done... Then so be it. Not too long after I got up to the part where I had stopped. I didn't finish the ending so I made one up on the spot. Not the best story right? It was also cliche and anti-Drosselmeyer, it was a happy ending...I thought after all she'd been through, she deserved one.
With my hands outstretched to the heavens, I called out to her,
"Come back to me as the beautiful girl you once were! DUCK!" I extended my hand further, awaiting her response.
Duck pov.
I was speechless. Silence enveloped us for a few seconds after that. I was sobbing uncontrollably now, fresh tears brimming in my eyes. I glanced down at him, his hand was held out to me and he was looking me straight in the eyes, almost desperately. Oh.. Fakir... You- my thoughts were cut off as I was temporarily blinded by a flash of red light. I closed my eyes and I felt my self start to lose altitude. Oh no! I tried flapping madly but I felt gravity dragging me down. What's going on? Why can't I fly? My wings felt dense and heavy and I couldn't pick up any wind. I'm going to fall!
Finally, I hit something and heard an Oof! Come from next to me. I didn't hit the ground? No, I felt a pair of strong arms supporting me. Fakir caught me. I reluctantly peeked one eye open only to be met with startled green ones, staring down at me in absolute shock.
What? What was so surprising? I glanced around before I heard him murmur something.
"I... I did it..."
