Part 1 of Chapter 6:

Karr woke up to find the scenery dark as well as the sky with bright sparkling stars peppered all around. He must've fallen asleep out here at some point.

Wait….

Why was he out here anyway?

Oh yeah. That.

He sighed tiredly and heavily before laying his head back down when it all came flooding back to him. He really did not want to have to deal with all that drama of giving an explanation for why he did what he did and all that lecturing crap. He silently debated in his head if he could just fly away. With how things have played out these past couple of hours, its clear the others wouldn't care if he left. And its not like he needed them anyway. He always loved the lone wolf life. He thrived in it. I mean, he had wings. He might as well use them, right? The only question now is, where would he go? Of course, if he went through with this plan, he could only go out and about at night under the cover of darkness. Dragons, he didn't think, would last very long out in LA.

It would have to be somewhere with no humans, plenty or food and water and many areas/options for shelter. The desert popped into his head, but there isn't enough food to be able to sustain him. He would have to go hunting 24/7 to keep his belly full. And don't even get him started with the water situation. The only pros of the desert were little to no humans and plenty of caves to take shelter in. No, he decided, that place wouldn't work. There's a 50/50 chance of that place working for him. Not a good choice. So he kept it as a last resort in case he didn't last long in other areas.

Next came the forest. He would have to fly up further north, but it could work. Plenty of food, water and numerous hiding spots thanks to the dense brush and tree cover meant that he could go out and about whenever he liked. And in case he didn't find a cave down there, he could always just retreat to the mountains if necessary. The only problem with the forest was humans. Humans constantly used forests of all shapes, sizes and places as popular camping grounds. But, he argued in his head, if he stayed really deep in the forest, he could be safe from prying human eyes. No human would ever be foolish enough to go that deep into the forest…

He was pulled from his thoughts suddenly when he heard footsteps behind him; approaching him. He snarled and whirled around to face whoever was approaching. The intruder turned out to be another dragon, Kitt.

Kitt stood there, frozen for a second with fear in his eyes as Karr continued to growl at him with narrowed, dilated eyes.

"What do you want?" He snapped at him.

Kitt's gaze left Karr's and stayed on the ground , his tail curled around him slightly in an unsure manner.

"I…couldn't sleep." He replied softly, still looking at the ground. "Whenever I can't sleep, I always come out here. You just never see though because, well, you're usually passed out."

Karr still stared at him with his narrow eyed gaze. Kitt still stood there, finally having the courage to meet Karr in the eyes again. But Karr could easily see the fear in those blue eyes. Eventually, Karr lay back down. Kitt still stood there a moment before finally walking over and laid down in his own spot several feet away from Karr.

The two dragons sat in silence for a while. Kitt eventually broke it.

"Why do you treat me this way?" Kitt asked him softly, keeping his gaze on the lake in front of them.

Karr rolled his eyes at the question. He thought it was pretty clear why he treated him this way.

"Well what do you think?" He snapped at him, annoyed.

Kitt winced at the tone. He knew where this was going, but he needed answers. True answers.

"For one, I know it was the recent mission that all the sudden brought this out in you. But I know it has to be something deeper than that." He said flatly.

"Wow. Took you that long to figure that out? Congrats. Maybe you're finally getting somewhere." He said with mock enthusiasm.

Kitt was beginning to get a lump in his throat. He was trying to start conversation with him and get Karr to at least acknowledge him without snapping of growling. But he was starting to fear that he really has lost Karr all together. And this is how their relationship will be…forever. Actually, it was more like an abuseship.

"Karr-"

"No! I'm sick and tired of you always guilt tripping me about every single damn fucking thing I do! I'm sick of it Kitt!" He snapped as he stood up from his spot and faced Kitt.

"Who said anything about me guilt tripping you?!" Kitt yelled back at him as he to, faced Karr. "I just want answers as to why you treat me like shit now! Is that too much to ask of you?"

"No. not at all. You want to know why, its because I hate you, Kitt! I always have! I don't love you! I don't care about you! Hell, I can give a shit what happens to you! You can get a bullet to the head and I won't shed a tear over it!"

When Karr finally stopped his ranting, He looked at Kitt threw narrow eyes. Hurt would have been a major understatement as to how Kitt looked. His eyes were closed and saw tears streaming down his face. When he opened them again, he looked Karr directly in the eye, fighting threw the tears.

"What kind of a monster have you become?" He asked, but his voice was failing him.

At that remark, Karr snarled and growled deathly, launching himself at Kitt. Kitt closed his eyes tightly and tensed up, hoping Karr would snap out of it and realize what he was doing was hurting his little brother.

When Karr finally made contact with Kitt, he barreled into his side, causing Kitt to fall and roll on to his side. Karr, blinded by his rage, wrapped his jaws around Kitt's neck. His sharp dagger like teeth quickly broke through the most sensitive layers of skin on his neck. Bright red blood soon began to run down into Karr's mouth and onto the ground. As Karr continued to growl and pin him down, he saw that Kitt was trembling and still had his eyes closed. He saw how Kitt's sides rose with shaky breaths.

Then he noticed something else out of the corner of his eye. His eyes travelled down to Kitt's lower side, just below his wing and widened at what he saw…

Gill like scars. Deep scars. And he knew exactly where and when he got those scars. He was shocked really that no one had noticed them before, but he could've been covering them with his wing the whole time.

He was pulled out of his trance when he heard soft whimpers leave Kitt's still trembling body. Tears raced down the side of his cheek like a river flowing in a canyon, waiting in agony for that final blow that he knew was coming.

He felt Karr's jaws grow a little tighter which broke more skin….

And then…release. That finally blow never came much to his surprise. Instead he felt Karr's jaws loosen their grip on his neck and removed themselves completely. When he weakly opened his eyes, he saw Karr backing away with a shocked look on his face. Once Karr was back in his original spot, he still stood there, to shocked by what he saw. So he just continued to stare at Kitt.

Kitt, seeing that Karr had no more intentions of attacking him, curled up his trembling body into a tight ball and began to sob. This easily had to be the most hurtful and scary attack Karr has executed on him yet.
