Black clouds formed above the forest. Swirls of black and grey intertwining above the Earth. Shadows fell upon the land. Flames arose from the ground as the shadows brushed upon it. Trees would scream as fire crawled up its bark. Animals fled the forest hoping to escape the inferno.
In the middle of the forest, where the fire has not touched yet, stood two figures. The were standing in a protective stance, staring at each other.
The figure on the right, a man, had dark silky black hair, waving just past his nose. Behind his back, standing 8 feet above his head, were wings. They were black and ragged like they caught fire many years ago.
The other figure, a female, stood holding her gaze on the man. Her long ,blond, sparkling hair swayed in the breeze behind her. Behind her back, above her head, also were wings. Hers were a silver color with a golden tint to them. Every feather perfectly intact.
They both turned in the direction of where the fire was blazing further away. They knew what was coming. They knew it was bound to happen, but when? They did not know.
The boy turned back to the girl, " you knew this would happen. Why do you still insist on trying to stop me?"
The girl snapped her head in his direction and snarled, " why would I just sit and let it happen? It is my job to protect him." They heard the sound of crackling trees, proving it was making its way to their location. " We can't stay here or we will burn to ash." She reaches her hand towards him, " please Flint, stop this madness."
He looks at her hand then to her. He extends his hand only to slap hers away, " I will not join you. That would be madness in its integrity." He smirks at her, " why would I join you when I almost have everyone's future in my hand. I would be mad not to keep it at that." He pulls out a dagger and slices her pale face, leaving a cut on her cheek, " you are weak. Useless to me and everyone else. Don't you see Spyder, I am in control here, not anyone else."
Spyder stared at him astonished. She touched her cheek where Flint cut her, " you would betray us all, just to control him?"
He smirked, raising his dagger. He answered her by pushing her several feet away from him. She was shocked by his reaction. When he started running at her with his dagger raised, she jumped out of the way. He kept lunging at her, trying to pierce her heart.
She ran to the trees. She could make out the flames eating away at the trees. She ran up a nearby tree. It was really tall. She stopped on a branch, clinging to the tree hoping she doesn't get spotted by him. She pulls out a dagger of her own. It is silver and has a dragon wrapped around the handle.
Flint laughs, " you can't hide Spyder. I'll always find you. I can hear your heart beating. I smell the blood running through your heart." He looks at a tall pine tree. He jumps towards it, cutting it in half. Nothing.
Spyder jumped out from behind the tree, running towards Flint. She lifted her dagger delicately. Flint had his back to her, not knowing she was running at him. She caught him around the throat, putting her dagger to his throat.
He looked at her, shock in his eyes. She took a deep breath, " forgive me, brother." She dragged the dagger across his throat.
