Chapter Text
Eddie opened his eyes. Slowly at first everything was a total blur he could only see red and black. He tried getting up without success. Gosh why his body felt like it weigh a ton. His vision still blur, he tried to see around him.
He only remembered dustin, the boy was beside him when he closed his eyes. This time he was able to got up. Why is he shorter. Wait is that his clothes. What is happening with him. He looked at his clothes and tried to grab them.
WHAT IS THAT BAT WINGS!? Instead of his hands, he found bat wings in front of him. He quikly looked his body. No no no this can't be happening. He didn't see his body it was only a shape full of furr. He tried screaming the only sound he could get out of him was a little screeching. *what i-i can't talk! *. He passed his tongue on his teeth. All of them were sharp.
He only wanted one things. To wake up in his room or even an hospital bed and that all of that was just a dream. Yeah it's just a dream nothing more than that. He tried to pinch himself without success. He doesn't have any fingers. He ran off not caring about anything else at the moment.
He slipped on the floor and fall miserably on his back. "screech!" was the only sound he got out. *fucking world *he got up once again, this time he walk but fast to his trailer. The door was open so he had no difficulty in entering inside. They was a new rope on the ceiling. *so the others must have succeeded *. He clang his sharp- what is this part anyway - claw on the rope and start going up. There's the fall luckily the mattress was there to catch him. *fuck the door is closed *. He tried to go for the window but it was to high for him.
There's only one solution left. He looked at his wings- god it's weird to say this- and tried to shake them.
After a few failed attempts he finally succeeded to get himself off the ground. He flew in the direction of the window, almost hitting the wall on the way. He then flew in the only direction he could think of. Tyro's house.
Tyro is his best friends since middle school when they moved to hawking with their parents. When he found the house he tried to stop himself on the porch without success and hit the door pretty hard.
A noise followed by a big bat screeching was heard outside my house. I was home alone and, not gonna lie, this scare me to death. I got up and silently got to the door to look. When i opened it i saw a bat looking hurt on my porch. "aww poor things come on i will help you".
I quickly checked the bat, his right wings looks bad but the rest seem pretty good. I take him inside and ran for the aid kit. I also take a stick for keeping the wings in place. After i've finished i take the bat up in my room.
There i cover him up in my bed. He instantly positioned himself on my cushion. He looked still asleep so i let him and i goes sit in my chair with a book.
I waited a good 2 hour before the little bat woke up in a jump quickly looking around.
Eddie woke up in the room of tyro laying on his cushion. He looked around, looking for tyro when his eyes locked on the face of his friends he calmed down a little more. Tyro looked at him with tender eyes.
"hey there sleep well enough?" eddie try to talk in response but just let out a little screech. Tyro chuckle a little at that. "gosh your so cute i can't" at the same time the front door open.
"sweetheart where are you?"
"i'm in my room i'm coming! Well it's time to see if my parents will let me keep you" tyro said caring the little bat in his hand. "mom - they said showing the bat- can i keep him pretty plllleeeeeaaaaaassssseeeee"
"are you sure it doesn't have rabies because if he does you will not have a really bright future" she said looking at eddie. "don't worry I'll be careful about it". Tyro looked at eddie with a bright smile. And eddie tried to return it giving his best shot. Tyro laughed "look mom he just smiled at me" tyro said laughing. It's been a while since they have laughed like that. The last time was their last d&d campaign with eddie. Gosh that's hurtful to just think about it.
They smile faded at the memories of their dead best friends.
"you can keep him just make sure to take him, all by yourself to the vet. I don't really wanna drive you there" their mom said, a little grin on her face. "don't worry mom i'm gonna take care of him!" tyro said running to his room. Eddie just stay in his hand the whole time, trying to content his laugh. God he love tyro's mother.
He got settled on the cushion once again. Tyro rumming through their closet. Then eddie sniffed something in the air. Something that smell delicious. His stomach gurgle at the smell.
He ran off to the smell to find a insect on the wall. It was a cockroach. He salived at the sign of this thing and even if he didn't want to his body took over and he ate it with a disgusting crunch sound. Tyro turn over to see the bat finishing his meal,before sniffing the air again and ran to another corner of the room capturing a butterfly this time. He also ate it without thinking, his body going on autopilot. He also ate a spider another cockroach and he almost ate the white mouse of tyro.
"you look really hungry but how about i gave you some other meat than my mouse huh" they said taking eddie in his hand. They let him on the bed, take their mouse with them and goes to the kitchen letting eddie alone.
They came back with a steak and gave it to eddie. He ate it without thinking, once he finished he goes to the bed and let himself flop into the covers, his little full belly sticking out a little.
Tyro laughed at the sign before getting back to what he was doing. He was sketching in the notebook eddie gave him the day they created the hellfire club. They were in charge of the logo and the tee shirts.
But they also created the design of some character. Then the talkie walkie dustin gave them made a sound, making eddie jumps and screech at it. "hey tyro it's dustin with the party we are going to steve's house tomorrow, do you wanna come or not."
"yeah of course i want to. But can i take something with me, i'm sure some of ya gonna love him" tyro said turning to eddie.
Eddie was moving of excitation. Seeing steve again seemed like a dream, but now he got the chance to see him tomorrow . "yeah sure you can bring whatever you want to bring, but don't take your snake please i almost died last time!" dustin exclaimed, terror in his voice, from the memory.
"last time it was in my house and it's not my fault if eddie was not scared of mr slurp!" tyro retort, looking offfended. "yeah okay well i have to go so, see you tomorrow. Finish" dustin said stopping the conversation.
Tyro looked at the talkie walkie, the memory turning in their head. Eddie swear he saw tears in their eyes. He screech, catching tyro's attention. Then he got up and did his best for doing the devil horn with his none injured wings, sticking his tong out. Tyro looked half shocked half amused.
"what are you doing there little guy?" they said giggling. Eddie gave him a unamused face, not liking the nick name. Tyro just laughed even more, almost falling out of his chair.
Eddie gave them a pouty screech, turning away. "okay sorry for laughing little guy"
"bweey"
"🤣 what was that!?"
Eddie sat down, ears down looking almost angry and ambarassed. "okay sorry" tyro said when they finished laughing
Tyro took eddie off their bed and into another covers on the floor. "there, you sleep here and nowhere else." tyro explain going to bed to. They took a toy gun and shoot into the switch, turning off the light before getting themselve confortable.
It didn't take to long for eddie to climb to the bed also getting confortable before drifting off to sleep.
