Phoenix Drop Love, A Garmau Fanfiction

Rain

Aphmau's POV

I was strong, I was scared, I was light

I stared into the dark forest ahead of me. I don't know what to do. I sounded so determined saying we must find Laurance, but.... how?? I've got no clue where he is. The only information I have on this monster is that he's somewhere in these woods and he's got Zane on his side. I continue to stare in confusion, making Katelyn annoyed. She forcefully turns me around.
"Look. We need a plan! Aphmau, you have freaking wings! Go fly and look around where we can't." With this, Garroth piped up
"Wait, no! What if she gets hurt?! I.. I can't let that happen! I need to go with her!"
"If you do, you'll only get lost!"
"But I love her"
"And I want to get out of this messed up place!"
"....I want to get my family...." Aaron says. This arguing hurt. It felt like a knife. I hated it. I turned away from them. This felt like a form of torture watching people you care for fight for nothing. I got mad. Really mad. Laurance planned the cage, the fights, Zane. Everything. I felt my wings lift up. I began to arise. The air feels cold but comforting and my wings take me away from the group.

The flight continued for several hours. If didn't know where I was. I felt like I was going in circles and I expected to see the group again and again.... I didn't. No group. No broken cage. No noise.. Well, except for an eerie sound. Sort of like a buzz from an alarm clock but more sinister. I kept going though I didn't seem to move. I pushed my wings as fast as they would allow.
Still nothing
The sky became red. The noise got louder. I began to move down. No matter how much I pushed against the force weighing me down, it just got harder. I soon grew tired of fighting, knowing the inescapable bounds of this force. I allow it to continue. Soon enough, I was on the ground. I couldn't get up. I couldn't move anything. I was stuck on my stomach, staring ahead. It was pitch black. The landscape raining red dust. I have to admit I was scared, though I didn't show it. Then I saw shadows. Multiple actually. I started seeing the outlines of my friends. I called out.
But Nobody Came
The group continued towards me, I called more and more, hurting my voice. I knew it was them. I just knew.
The closer the shadows got, the closer the went together. They seemed to form absolutely terror and destruction before me. I shut my eyes, not allow this horror to get to me. I heard a familiar voice, but I ignored it.

And that's when I felt someone kiss me
"Don't worry, my precious Aphmau. I'll keep you safe"

(You pancakes didn't deserve such a long wait but I waited anyway. It's just so hard sometimes to get ideas. And then you get busy with work and life, but I'm trying my best. I appreciate your existence. Have a good day, dudes.)
