My Perfect Weapon

Skylar set stunned for a moment. "You have wings?!?" she asked in shock. She slowly stood up and walked over to Andy. She brought her hand up and touched one. She ran her hand along the edge of his left wing. It was felt like the wing of a bat.

"Yes." he said watching her. She looked up at him, taking her eyes off the wings for the first time. "How is that possible?"
"Remember when I told you I had control over what I am and what I do?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Yes." She replied still looking up at him.
"Well, it's true. I can change things about myself. Just by thinking about it, I can add or subtract something about my appearance. I wanted wings, so I added them."

This new information scared her a little. "You're getting scared again." He always seemed to know what she was feeling. "How do you always know what I'm feeling?"
"I know because I can feel it too. I'm directly connected to your thoughts and feelings because thats how I was created." That made sense.

He pulled her closer to him. "You don't have to be afraid of me, Skylar. I will never hurt you. It's those who hurt you that should worry." He said as he wrapped his leathery wings around her.
"Did you kill Amber?" she asked as she layed her head on his chest.
"Yes. And Trevor." He answered stroking her hair.

This should have scared her, but it didn't. "Why?" she asked simply. "Because they hurt you. They had to pay for that. You know I will always protect you, Skylar." He said kissing the top of her head.

Maybe it was wrong, but what he said made her happy. He had just admitted to killing two people, but she felt safe wrapped in his wings. There had been many times that she wished that something would happen that would make people think twice about bullying her. So many times she had been tormented, made to feel like she was less than a person. She couldn't help but feel some satisfaction about what he had done. I mean it's not like he killed innocent people, right?
