"well at least if I leave they'll stop hunting me down and leave everybody else alone if I go far enough. They'll never find you." She sobbed, a huge sniffly mess. Macha probably couldn't understand her between the cries, but she didn't care.
Macha gave Skylar a squeeze. "I thought that too." she murmmured sadly. "it didn't work."
(I'm gone for today, sprry!)
(@TOPAZZZZZZZZZZ NOOOOOOOOO. Sorry, but I gotta continue and Sky might storm off on Macha. NO hard feelings to Macha, though! I think Sky needs Peter, (If @Lil-Owl is on) haha)
Aye, ye !
Or in the eloquent words of my sixth grade sister…
YEET )
"OH YEAH?" She yelled, tears blinding her. She jumped up from the spot she was sitting. "YOU DONT KNOW HOW IT FEELS. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW HOW IT FEELS. WATCHING YOUR FAMILY DIE ONE BY ONE. HAVING YOUR BEST FRIEND GET KILLED BY YOUR FRIEND. HAVING MY ONLY BOYFRIEND I'VE EVER HAD KILL HIMSELF SO I WOULDN'T GET HURT. YOU DONT KNOW HOW IT FEELS, OK?" She screamed, throwing a few pillows at Macha. Skylar didn't even care. All she wanted was to get the rage out of her system. After throwing multiple pillows, sky finally calmed down enough where the tears was only a light stream, pooling up on the floor. "Im going to see Peter and Ace. Im saying goodbye. Im going yo turn myself in." She huffed, rubbing her eyes with her sleeve. Skylar ran out the door and to the direction Where Peter and ace had disappeared to. Finally finding them, she turned around and wiped her nose with her sleeve so as not to seem full of snot. she turned around and started running, stopping right in front of him. Grabbing his face with her hands, she kissed him. At first he seemed surprised, but eventually he calmed down. Her heart was beating fast but she kept kissing him. She hoped she would never see him again. It was better for him. He would be safe.
Peter was still only half dressed in his suit, and half yelped in muffled surprise when he found a pair of lips mashed against his own. "Mm–" he half choked on an exhale when his brain registered what just happened, being slightly dissappointed that he hadn't had any warning beforehand. Alas, it was still a kiss.
He brought his palms to her cheeks, and pulled away an inch or so when the timing seemed appropriate. His voice was gentle, worried, and had an acoustic appeal similar to the way a thin slice of smooth glazed ceramic feels between fingertips. "Skylar…?"
"That was goodbye." She whispered, pressing her forehead up to his, and staring into his eyes.
"Goodbye?" He echoed weakly, sure he misheard. His wings created a curtain around them. "Skylar, what's wrong?" He insisted, bothered by her disdainful vibes and demeanor.

(Thanks! I'll try my best to catch up although there are 71 pages so…)
" I cant risk anyone getting hurt. Not you, Macha, ace, Dani. No one. They've been after me since I was 3. They have not stopped. I've been here too long. Im turning myself in to the R.A.C. then you'll be safe. I have to go." She started crying again, wrapping her arms around Peter.
"No," Peter spoke, "I'm not letting you go." His demeanor was oddly calm, yet his voice a stern sort of reassuring. "You can talk to me, Skylar.. If you turn yourself in, who's to say I won't do it too?"
"you cant!" Skylar cried exasperated. "Im doing this for you guys. Why would you turn yourself in too? Listen. My whole family died, leaving me alone. It was the R.A.C. I found Jean and Jacob, they were my best friends. Jacob killed Jean. Then ran off with the R.A.C. Then I found Adam. I was in love, Peter. And he killed himself because he was tortured by the R.A.C. I CANT LET YOU GET HURT TOO! I love you, Peter. Though I've only known you for a short time, I truly love you. I cant let anything happen to you."
"Will-" He paused to fix the break in his voice, a ribbon of moisture threatening the brim of his stoney colored eyes. "If you're going to leave me.." he exhaled, trying to come to grips with her sudden decision, "Promise me a last dance."
"Peter.." She pleaded, "I have to go."
"Just say yes.." he resisted a whimper by whispering, "Please. I've already lost a lover. This is the least you can do to soften the pain of departure.. after everything we've done for one another."
"I.. Cant. dance." Sky looked down, embarrassed and upset that she couldn't fulfill Peters last wish from her.
"I'll teach you," he attempted, unable to resist crying now. "I didn't even get a warning, Skylar..!"
"Fine." She whispered, looking up into his tear filled eyes. "Teach me "
