Why she went back

A/N Hey I'm glad to say I'm back to this story. Thanks for the reviews and help on whether this story should stay M, but I think I'll change it to T once again my conscience go the better of me, if I ever grow some courage I may jack it back up to M and put some adult content but I doubt it. And if anyone cares my pole on my profile is STILL there because I haven't figured out a new question to ask, but for anyone who hasn't seen it, it asks who of all my OC's do you like the most, and for you people who can't choose I made the selection cap 3 so have fun choosing, personally I voted and of course I chose Kirk and two others. So thanks for the support and I hope you enjoy what's coming up next.

Cynder was trembling as she stayed in her old room. She was obviously in pain and she had multiple fresh whip, scratches and other injuries from her recent beating from Demodius.

It had been like this for two weeks now, since she came back he had mercilessly beaten her for betraying them. They thought she was a spy since she had lost the battle in convexity and not immediately come to Concurrent Skies. She had tried to tell him multiples times but he either shut her up with his shouts or by hurting her or he gagged her.

She cried every night, she had no idea why Demodius, the dragon she thought loved her, was hurting her without any remorse. She loved him and that was the only reason she was here, she felt so stupid for coming back, she had it way better at the temple. She had a safe home to live in, great teachers to help her learn what it's like to be a real person with actual emotions… and Spyro, he helped her the most. He tried his best to make her feel at home and was the best friend she ever had, even Sparx was cool… in his own way at least he wasn't as bad as when they first met, he had gotten slightly less harsh.

How could she ever run away from all that? Everyone there respected her, they never hurt her and the times she trained they always encouraged her to keep up the good work and when she failed they always made her feel better, they also never beat her mercilessly for failure.

She shuddered as her body was racked with crying again and she looked at her barred up windows. She hated these damn bars, they made her feel like she was in prison, and don't forget about the locked door and the dark crystals keeping her from using her powers. She was constantly weak and sometimes walking through her room was hard.

She barely was able to lift her head enough to look out the window and saw something surprising.

Outside she could swear she saw a slight glow in the air. Was she hallucinating, was she actually hallucinating of the most annoying person she had ever met? Before she could even rub her eyes to see if she was hallucinating it zipped away out of sight and she sighed. Despite how much she hated him at least he occasionally let up and gave her praise once in awhile…. very once in awhile.

She looked down and started to cry as she realized she was so desperate to see anyone from the temple she was willing to see Sparx if it meant not being hurt.

She felt the air in front of her 'whoosh' into her direction then "Cynder?" from a very familiar voice and lifted her head sniffing and saw the most beautiful sight she had seen since she got here, it wasn't the sunrise because it made her even more depressed knowing that sun could come and go as it pleased from this place.

No in front of her was a purple dragon she had known to be her friend, correction, best friend.

"Spyro?"

Spyro smiled warmly and sighed "Thank the ancestors I found you, I've been looking since you left"

Cynder wanted to jump at the bars and try and hug him as best she could but the collar she wore would shock her if even a body part left the window or door without a another device being nearby that Demodius had, not to mention she was so tired but said "Spyro!? What are you doing here?"

"I've been looking for you since you left, I thought that discussion we had made you so angry you left to get away, but I finally heard some rumors from apes that we'd been listening in to had mentioned you might be here, so Sparx went to scout and told me he found you"

Sparx managed to smile "Your welcome, took a lot of my pride to do this"

Cynder smiled to him and said "Thanks Glowbug"

Sparx smiled puffing out his chest and said "Ya hero right here!"

Cynder made a shushing noise "Quiet dumby, if Demodius learns you're here he'll kill you" and to her that would be worse than the beatings right now.

Spyro frowned "Ya I heard about Demodius before I left, the Guardians never mentioned him until now, who is, he not even they knew much about him?"

Cynder sighed "He was a hatchling stolen from their parents at birth like me but nobody knows where his egg came from. Like Malefor has never told anyone if he came from the temple or from a family that kept their egg. He was trained like me to be a perfect killer without remorse and he took the training much better than me from what I hear which is why he never was corrupted like me. He was always jealous of that and soon, because he's a near master of alchemy, he made a potion that could make him a better warrior. He asked Malefor if he could test in on some apes but he refused and told him that if he was loyal he'd test his own potions on himself. Well it worked but it nearly killed him and no he has spikes on his shoulders that can inject poison, razor sharp claws, back spikes and horns. Lastly the potion made his body different slightly, he has more muscles but he looks very starved and his favorite thing from the transformation was he grew fangs like a snake which he uses to bite enemies he's captured and torture them with his poison. Well eventually Malefor had another ingenious idea and thought he could make a shadow dragon army through both of us and after finding a way to temporarily shrink me down from my adult form he ordered us to…. Mate"

Spyro and Sparx looked at her in shock and the purple dragon asked "You've mated?" he was a bit horrified with the idea but let her continue.

"Yes I…. mated with him…. And loved it…." She looked down because now she was ashamed of this since back then she didn't know about waiting to find 'the one' and stuff like that, and to be honest if she did she wouldn't of cared because her master commanded it.

She still looked ashamed but continued "Well lucky for everyone else it didn't work, the corruption made me infertile…. Or maybe somehow my young age affected it even though I was technically older. But Demodius and I continued, we loved each other, despite his jealousy and Gaul and Malefor didn't seem to care as long as we did our jobs"

Spyro suddenly asked "Wait but Malefor was in Convexity all that time, how'd he command you?"

Cynder said "He found a way to speak to us from his side, and we informed him of what was going in this world and he made plans from what we told him"

Spyro nodded in understanding then asked just noticing this now "Cynder, are you ok, you're slouching… and shaking…. And covered in cuts and wounds?"

Cynder looked away and said "Demodius….. he's been….. hurting me…" she muttered.

Spyro gasped "What!? He's been hurting you, I thought you two…. loved each other, why?" he asked making a slight pause in his speech.

Cynder said "When I didn't come back immediately after you beat me in convexity they assumed I was working with them now and when I came back Demodius tricked me and started to hurt me, it been like that since I got here… I can't use my powers since the walls are lined with dark crystals and the constant exposure has made me physically weak too, I can barely think properly sometimes"

Spyro got a more determined face "Well I'm getting you out of there"

"NO! You can't…. You have to leave before someone sees you out there" She pleaded.

"No I'm getting you out an….." He stopped hearing something at Cynders door and flew to the side so nobody could see him and Cynder tried to act as pathetic as possible.

When the door opened it revealed Demodius, his face was emotionless and his black scales still shined in the somewhat dark room.

"Hello my dear Cynder, how are we doing today?" he smirked

Cynder said pathetically "Tired…"

Demodius chuckled and said "Good" smirking evilly.

Cynder looked down refusing to look him in the eye as he approached and he chuckled "What lost your courage already, what happened to your words my dear? What happened to your begging a pleading that you love me and came back for you and that I should trust you?"

Cynder didn't answer, she hoped that being quiet and not fight back would spare Spyro and Sparx the horror of listening to him torture her.

Demodius said "Oh no I broke you already… I always thought the great terror of the skies would hold up longer then my normal prey, damn even that cheetah last week lasted more than a week"

Cynder just continued to look down and stay quiet.

Demodius scowled and back handed her violently and said "ANSWER ME!"

Cynder couldn't help but let a tear escape her eye after he yelled, it wasn't the slap it was the yelling, he never yelled he was always calm and collective even in near death experiences. "I'm sorry Demod…"

"No you know what you call me" he said now more calm.

"…Master, Demodius…." She whimpered.

"That's better, now finish your thought Slave"

She paused for a half a second almost making Demodius tell her to speak but said "Sorry Master Demodius, I'm only here to serve"

"Serve who" he asked.

She knew it was a trick question, he always gave questions that either way he'd find a way to make it wrong and cautiously said "You and our master Malef…"

Demodius back handed her again "Wrong, you don't get the privilege of serving our great master, and what makes you think you're serving me? I never made you do anything for me yet?"

Cynder rubbed her cheek as that one hurt since she didn't expect it and said "I apologize Master"

Demodius said "That's right you better apologize…. Now I am feeling somewhat nice today, from now on you live in my room, but you must wear this" he strapped a collar around her that an inner lining of dark crystal "So you don't escape"

She didn't resist and he turned to lead her away. She looked at the window and frowned knowing how close she was to escaping; now they'd have to re-find her over again. She also had to worry about Demodius being able to more closely monitor her and she had, in only a few seconds, gotten into an even bigger hole. She followed her new master and looked back one more time to see Spyro frowning through the window but his eyes said 'I'll get you out'

She turned back happy she had a friend and a shread of hope and followed Demodius to his room.

Alright so that's the end I was kinda finding that last bit hard for some reason. I have no idea why but getting her out of the room and the talk with Demodius was difficult. Anyway as I said this story is dropping to T rating, but as I also said I may put it back up if I ever feel like I can do something M, I'm officially sending out a request for someone to help me with that, thank you so much for whoever answers this. So see ya next time and thanks for reading and I appreciate the reviews and make sure to chack my pole on my profile page it right at the top where there's a blue 'vote now!' if any of you didn't know.
