Alright, I made you wait long enough :P Here is chapter 3's rewrite.
I open my eyes the world still blurry, not remembering what happened. I raise my head, when the pain floods back to my body as well as the memories. I put my head back down, and sit there, unable to move. I stare at the world as I sit there motionless, as the citizens who have come out look at me, stare at me. Then, I see someone who is especially horrified by what she sees. I see her stop, and she yelps, and starts running in a random direction, Crying.
It felt like hours till she came back, with someone following her, mother. I look at her, as she is in tears coming to pick me up. Nearia came up to me and I feel her put her arms underneath me and lift me up and put me on my mother's back. As she started to walk, and walk, and walk, and walk
It felt like an eternity, waiting, in pain, for them to either put me out of my misery, or bring me to the hospital. I look at Nearia, who forced a smile, I then turn my head and look ahead, and saw the hospital, and she ran through the door.
I heard her say something, and a bunch of people run out and pick me up, slowly, and place me on a stretcher, and carried me to a room, where they put me on the bed, and started running around, until I see one of the doctors walk back with a shot, and a large needle. 'So this is it,' I think, as I feel them push the needle through my scale in into my flesh. My eyes get heavy, and my thoughts become slurred. 'Goodbye.'
Darkness,
All I saw for who knows how long, it seemed like an eternity. Until I start to open my eyes, the world coming back to me. I jump up, and looks around dizzily, as the nurse comes over and lays me back down. I look to my right, and see Nearia, who is staring at me, a nervous smile on her face.
"Thank the ancestors you're OK," she says, as she gets up and lays on the bed next to me, and the nurse then comes over to tell her to get off, but not before my mom stops the nurse.
"What happened while I was out," I ask, as the nurse looks at me.
"We just stitched up a few things," she says, as she turns back around.
"No," I say, as my mom looks at me, "Before Nearia found me." then Nearia looks at me, face to face with her.
"Nothing," she says, as I look at her with a confused look on my face. "There we no other attacks, no-one else reported an attack, beside the people in the same area you were."
'Why was I the only one attacked though,' I thought as I stare at Nearia, and fake a smile.
"You should get some rest," I hear the nurse say, and I look out the window, and see it is nighttime. "Do you mind if they stay?" she asks, as my mom gets up.
"No, I don't mind," I say, as I put my wing over Nearia.
"I think I'll go," My mom says, and the nurse follows her out of the room, and shuts off all the lamps, and I quickly fall asleep.
I open my eyes, and see nothing but white, and a dark red figure in front of me, staring at me.
"Who are you?" I ask, as the dragon raises his head, and tilts it, staring at me.
"I am you," he says, walking towards me, "I am the better you." His face is in front of mine, and I see the same face I see when I look into a mirror, except, all I saw in this face, was hate.
"How are you better than me, you don't even exist," I back up, slightly frightened
"I am you, I control you,"
"No you don't!" I yell, but I feel a strange feeling, as I am forced to the ground, as he lowers his head, I try to fight it, but my muscles don't listen, and continue to lower me to the ground.
"You were saying?" He says, as he explodes into a cloud of smoke, and I shoot awake, breathing heavily, as Nearia jumps awake, startled by my sudden movement, and I notice it is still nighttime.
"Are you alright?" she asks, as she looks into my eyes.
"I am fine, just a bad dream," fine, not even close, what had just happened, was what I saw real.
'Yes, I am real,' the voice of the dragon appears in my head and I start to shake.
"Get out of my head," I scream, and Nearia grabs me, and starts to shake me.
"Snap out of it, you are ok," She says, worry clear in her voice, and I stop, and hear nothing, but silence, and sigh.
"Sorry, let's go back to sleep," I say, as we both lay down again, and hope that the rest of the night well be more calming.
When I woke up, Nearia was under my wing, curled up in a ball, like a little pup, and I nudge her to wake her up. She stares at me and yawns, then stretches out on the bed and stares at me upside down and giggles.
"Good morning," she says, as she flips over and gets up, then proceeded to lean forwards and stretch, and I sat up and the nurse then walked in with my mother.
"He should be good to go," She says happily, then pauses and leaned over to my mother, and whispered something that I couldn't hear.
"You ready to go?" mom asked, as she looks at me and Nearia.
"I guess so," I say, as I got up and walk to the door, I look at the nurse, and nodded my head, "Thank you," I said.
We walked through the hospital towards the exit, and everyone was giving me stares as I was walking through, and, I didn't know why, until I hear someone mention my face.
"Mom, I need to go find a mirror," I say, and my mom hesitated, but then faked a smile.
"Ok, be quick though," So I start walking towards the bathrooms, and walk inside and look into the mirror. What I see horrifies me.
The dragon was not me he was bent, broken, out of place, my jaw was jagged, there was a scar going down the side of my face right next to my eye, luckily it had not hit my eye, so I could still see but there wasn't much left for there to see.
I walk back up to mom, tears streaming down my face, and she just hugs me and starts walking again. As we walked, I said nothing, as I continued to get stares from the citizens, each and every one of them, turning their heads towards me, gasping, crying, the more and more I heard them cry for me, the more it felt like a nail was being driven into my heart.
It felt like years before we got back. By the time we did, it was lunch time, and stomach was gurgling up a storm, but when mom brought out food, I didn't feel like eating. Something was missing, someone. Right then I heard a knock on the front door, and got up to go get it. I opened the door to see it was Zeta, who looked past me into the house, and saw Nearia.
"Is Sheara ok?" He asks, then looks at me and nearly passes out, "Your, your face," he says, as he pivots his head around mine, inspecting every detail.
"Does it hurt?" he then asks, and I shake my head, I couldn't really feel the pain, then, The memories crack back like a whip, and one word is screamed through my head, 'Sheara.'
I then lean towards Zeta and whisper, "Sheara was kidnapped by Cynder," at this, he backed up, and starts to cry.
"We… we need to find her," He then said, as he stood up tall, and I waved for Nearia to come over to the door, and she leaned in.
"What's going on?" she asks.
"We are going to go find Sheara and get her back," Zeta and I say, as Nearia stares at me.
"I'm coming with you," she says, and I look down and sigh, "Alright, I'm going to tell my mom," I say, as I get up and walk over to mother.
"Mom, we are going to go play," I say, and she looks at me, then looks back, "Alright, I'm going to go ask all of Sheara's friends to see if they have seen her," I cringe as she says this, and I start to talk, but quickly close my mouth, as I knew my mother could not live with herself if her daughter had been kidnapped.
"See you later," I say, as I pull my two friends out the door with me.
"You were supposed to tell her," Nearia says, after I had shut the door.
"I knew she wouldn't let me go if I told her," I said, and it was true, my mother was a bit overprotective, she would never let me do anything as a hatchling.
"Well, I guess that is a good reason," she says, "But we should get going, before your mom comes back out."
We started to run down the road towards the city wall, in the direction we assumed she would go, north, since that is the way she came from. Once we got to the wall we all started to fly up the side, but as I reached the top, I heard a tear and felt a pain in my wing. My wing hadn't fully healed, and I came crashing down on the topside of the wall.
"Are you ok?" Nearia says, as she comes over to me and helps me up.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I then pause, and look over the other side of the wall. "I think."
"We can lower you down," Zeta then says, as he grabs on half of me, and Nearia grabs the other half, picking me up and slowly lowering me, until I was on the ground.
"Thanks," I said, as we all started to walk again.
"Which way should we walk?" Nearia asks as she turns towards me.
"Just keep walking in any direction I guess, there are cities everywhere around Warfang." Zeta answers for me, as she looks at him, and continues to walk.
"Alright, I hope the one in this direction is pretty close," She replied.
Walking, nothing but that and talking. Walking and talking, until night starts to fall, and we start to quicken the pace.
"We need to find shelter by nightfall, so we aren't out in the dark," Nearia says, as she starts to look around. So we started to run now, as we all looked around for a place to sleep, when I found a small little opening in a cliff nearby.
"What about over there?" I asked, as they both looked in the direction I was pointing.
"That will do," Zeta says, as we all walk over to it, and they fly up the side, while I start to climb up the side of the cliff, and they pick me up and carry me up to the ledge.
"Thanks," I say, as they put me down. I go and sit down at the end, and take off the pack of stuff I had bought before we had left, which included firewood and some food. I set up the fire, and passed out the food, which was jerky. It's the best food in the world, I think.
"We should all get some sleep," Nearia says, as she walks over to me, and lays down next to me, pulling my wing over her.
"Night."
The next morning, when I woke up, everyone was still sleeping, so I decided to go and look around outside, and sat down on the edge of the cliff. It was beautiful sight, tree's painting the ground, the sun rising in the distance. It looked like something out of a famous painting.
"Enjoying the view?" I hear Nearia say, as she comes and sits down next to me. I sit and think, as she looks me in the eyes.
"Yeah," I say as I look back at the sunrise, "We should probably wake Zeta and get going."
So, there it is, the rewrite of chapter 3, chapters 1 and 2 are on the way, they will stay almost true to the original, some things will change, a lot changed with this one, but it was pretty worth the work and the wait, hope you guys enjoy, peace until next time.
