Beak and Talons Chapter 5: Wings
Jp, I need your help! ASAP.
We might need an extra hand if one of you wants to come over.
Jp yelled knocking on the door of Max and Krista’s cottage before walking in.
Jp heard Krista and he ran to where the bedroom was, and there was-
—-------------------------------------------
“Uh? Krista, isn’t he human?”
Jp asked tilting his head and walking over to the messy nest in the middle of the room.
“He is! But uh you might want to see for yourself,”
Krista's voice quivered gently pulling up Max’s shirt to show his back as Max cooed cuddling up to Krista.
Jp got a bit closer to the two without getting in the nest while staring at the burning rashes and something slithering under the rashes.
Jp gulped quickly scanning the rash before pulling out a small dagger from his inventory,
“His wings are stuck under his skin so I am going to have to create an opening for them. Do you mind holding him still, this might hurt.”
Krista nodded as she hugged Max tight while making sure Jp had room. Jp climbed into the nest before slicing an opening in one of the rashes. Max shrieks while trying to escape out of Krista’s grasp, but Krista holds onto him tighter as he withers in pain. Jp frowned gently pulling out a bloody, fluffy, yellow, and black small wing from the open gash. He sighed in relief watching the small wing flutter before moving to the rash and cutting again. Max just warbled this time while Krista mumbled soothing words into Max’s hair. After the second wing was out, Jp and Krista were finally able to breathe. They both quickly grabbed a blanket or towel and pressed it against the base of Max’s wings.
“Krista? Jp? You guys here?”
Fizzy voice ranged out through the cottage.
“So Max is not as human as we thought? Or maybe a late bloomer?”
Jp suggested cleaning up the medical supplies lying around.
Max slept contently in the now clean nest, his back wrapped in bandages stopping the bleeding, and wings preened from any blood.
“No Max is completely human. I’ve seen his code before,”
Krista stressed throwing away the bloody clothes that they used.
“Well, that doesn’t answer why he has wings, when did it start?”
Fizzy asked while sitting cross-legged on the floor watching the others clean up.
“I caught it about a week ago, but there is no telling how long before that it was progressing,”
Krista sighed and finished her tasks before sitting on the floor with Fizzy.
“Well then..I guess we’ll just have to ask him when he is awake then,”
Jp faltered closing the first aid and joined the other two on the floor.
