Could Be Worse [Awesome x Mayah]

[Its Smiley]

Alcott crouched down to get off just as he heard Michaela's screams. He lifted his head and met her gaze for a moment, as if things were in slow motion, and watched her fall from his grasp. "Dammit, Michaela!" Alcott yelled and quickly got up. He backed up a few steps then ran off the cliff.
Just like a professional skydiver, he shifting his body until he was falling face first, his arms to his sides to help him speed up. As he neared her, Alcott realized that simply falling wouldn't help.
He cursed again, his words lost in the wind, and in the blink of an eye his large, nearly seven foot long wings appeared, both nearly white except for his left wing having a few black feathers, one of which fell off. He flapped the wings once and immediately sped up, severing the gap between him and Michaela by half. After another flap of the wings Alcott got close enough to grab her arm. In those blazing seconds he pulled her towards him and moved his body so his legs were closest to the ground, then he flapped his wings a few times and managed to stop them from falling anymore.

Michaelas arms latched themselves around Alcott the moment he caught her, but one look at his wings and she fell limp. "What...are you..." she murmured just before losing consciousness.

He looked down at her, the sunset to his back, and sighed when she passed out against him. This was good, though. Maybe she'd be asleep the entire time the full moon effects him. An entire three days.. He didn't know if that'd be good or bad. Only one way to find out. Alcott turned to face the sunset and, with a few graceful flaps of his wings, flew to the nearest hotel.
At least his back felt better.

Michaela clutched Alcott tightly close to her. "Alcott..." she whimpered.  

[Its Smiley]

By the time she said that she was over Alcott's shoulder, his wings folding and pressed against his ripped shirt to look like a tattoo, and his disgruntled face ordering a room key from a confused employee. A few minutes later and the two were in a normal, vacant hotel-sized room. He gently set her on the bed then walked towards the window, letting his wings ease out a little. Both wings were fully white, his hair was beginning to get black strands in it and his eyes turned golden every other second. Any minute now he would become... nice.

 

[Mayah Playah]

On the bed, Michaela whimpered again, calling out for her guardian. "Alcott..."  

[Its Smiley]

By that time Alcott's hair was nearly fully black and his eyes were rapidly turning golden every second. He leaned against the wall with his arms wrapped around his sides and his body trembling. He had reached the point where if he wanted to he could recite biblical verses. He didn't even have the urge to smoke!

 

[Mayah Playah]

At the sound of a loud boom of thunder, Michaela shot up, fully awake. "NO!!" she cried, clutching the sheets.  

[Its Smiley]

"Michaela?" came Alcott's voice from down the other room, only something was different about it, it had a softer, more caring tone. Footsteps grew louder until her room's door creaked open and in stepped... an entirely different man. This man had Alcott's height and build, but everything else was completely different. He had a black suit on, black hair, golden eyes, white protruding angel wings behind him, and a concerned look on his face. "Are you okay?" he asked her and walked to the foot of her bed.

 

[Mayah Playah]

She shrank away from him, terrified. "Who-who are you? And what have you done with Alcott?!"  

[Its Smiley]

He paused for a minute, confused to her attitude before realizing her fear. "Oh, OH! Please don't worry. It's me! Alcott!" he said and backed up a step with his hands up to mean no harm. "I'm just the full-Angel Alcott." he said and gave her a friendly smile the moonlight added to.

 

[Mayah Playah]

Michaela's eyes grew wide. "Full...angel? B-but...what?"  

[Its Smiley]

Alcott smiled and sat down beside her, folding his wings up a bit. "I'm half-angel and a half-demon. When the moon is full, I become full angel; this." He smiled and flapped his wings to emphasis it a bit before folding it again. "When it's a new moon, I become full demon." he spat the final word with deep hatred then composed himself. "And all the time in between I am the Alcott you know."

 

[Mayah Playah]

She shook her head, trying to understand. "But I don't-" A loud crash of thunder cut her off, the light from the strike of lightning showing a frightened teen burying herself inher guardian's arms. She trembled uncontrollably in his arms, tears falling down her face. Another loud boom made her cringe, seeming to shrink.  

[Its Smiley]

Alcott quickly wrapped his arms around Michaela and held her close, rocking her back and forth. "Don't worry, don't worry," he whispered softly and soothingly. "I won't let anything happen to you."
