Saving Sarah

Man, it's been so long hasn't it? I've been really busy with other stories I almost forgot about this story. Anyways, here's chapter 10!

Kirby made it back to the hideout. Everyone turned around. "Kirby, where've you been?" Klonoa asked. Kirby panted, "Sarah…she…turning into…monster…" Spyro instantly leaped from his lying position, "What did Sneedly do to her?" He asked furiously. "Well…" Kirby replied.

Flashback

Rajan was dragging Sarah by her neck into the villains' hideout. She struggled to get free as they stepped into Sneedly's lab. The ugly villain turned around and grinned. "I knew you'd get my little guest," Sneedly said fiendishly to Rajan, "Thank you, I'll make sure you get a spot as a playable player in my game, once the heroes are gone." Rajan bowed, "That is a very generous offer Sneedly, and I'd be glad to accept." He tossed Sarah to the ground in front of Sneedly and left the two alone. "Well my pretty," Sneedly began, "How do you like my humble abode?" Sarah sniffed, "Fine, if you're one of those thirty-five year old men who still live with their mom." Sneedly growled, "I do not still live my mother!" "Sneedly," said a high-pitched woman's voice, "I hope you wiped those windows clean!" Sneedly sighed impatiently, "Yes, mother!" Sarah smirked. "Shut it!" Sneedly roared, "Besides I still have plans for you." He grabbed her by the tail and restrained her to a chair. "Now then, I have a few things to tell you…" Sarah's eyes widened, "What do you mean?" Sneedly grinned, "About your parents…" Sarah remembered to breathe, "What do you know about them?"

"Oh nothing…just that they were quite noble…"

"Go on…"

"Well after you were born, while you were still trying to hatch…I killed them!"

Sarah whimpered. "You what…?" She said with an edge of anger in her voice. "You heard me," Sneedly bellowed, "I killed them, turned them into little carpets!" Sarah lowered her head, "So I lived my life in constant abuse because of you?" She bared her fangs viciously. "You monster," She screamed, "I'll kill you, just you wait!" Sneedly simply laughed. His hand went yellow with magic and he plunged his hand into Sarah's necklace. A stab of pain went through her whole body. She trembled, as if trying to contain something inside of her. Sarah's scream echoed through the whole castle. All the villains stopped what they did and listened. After a few moments, Sneedly came out with Sarah's trembling body. "She's paralyzed for the moment," He muttered viciously, "Take her to the dungeon now, and keep a close eye on her!" The guards nodded and grabbed Sarah, walking upstairs.

End of Flashback…

When Kirby finished with his story, everyone was still. Spyro trembled with rage, Crash scratched his head, and the others whispered quietly about what they should do. "We've got to help her," Spyro said, "We've got to find her…" "The finding part shouldn't be too hard." Crash whispered fearfully. Everyone except Crash cocked their eyebrows, "How come?" They asked in unison. "Because I found her…" Crash replied horrifically. Everyone stared in growing horror at their friend. Her horns had grown wickedly sharp, her claws capable of slicing anyone to ribbons. Her eyes had gone blood red and twin rows of incisors protruded from her jaw. Spyro walked over to his girlfriend, "Sarah, what happened to you?" He said quietly. Sarah roared, and plunged her jaws into his shoulder blades. Spyro screamed, "Don't you remember me?" Sarah leaped from his boyfriend, who collapsed. She growled and glared at him. Sarah lunged at Spyro to deliver the final blow. Just as her claws came down, Kirby blocked with his sword. "You need to snap out of it!" He bellowed. He drove her away with his blade. Sarah hissed and blasted a blue ball of flame. Kirby quickly got rid of his sword ability and inhaled the fire. He spat it back at his friend. "Sorry…" He muttered. Sarah went flying several feet and slammed into a wall, knocking the breath out of her. The female dragon winced before falling unconscious. Kirby frowned. Sarah slowly began to revert to her normal form. The others picked up Spyro and Sarah to tend to their wounds.

Dream Sequence

Sarah was floating effortlessly in a black void. "I killed your parents…" Sneedly's voice echoed through her mind. She frantically looked around frightened. The void then turned into a lush field of roses, she walked around, amazed at its beauty. Then, in a flash, the garden burned into a wasteland. She gasped as another voice echoed through her mind.

Everyone you love will perish…

She turned around and saw Spyro and the others lying lifeless. "Spyro, no!" She wailed. She started running but then she froze. Her stomach felt like a giant stone. She collapsed to the ground, feeling heavy. Sarah looked up to find Sneedly with a weird device in his hands. He pressed a button two times, and suddenly she felt strange. Her belly began to inflate like a balloon. She found herself screaming for help, to stop the pain, to stop the madness. "Say goodnight little dragon…forever" Sneedly whispered right into her ear. Sarah couldn't take anymore and her belly began to rip open... "Help me…" She said quietly, and then got louder, "Help me! Please help!"

"Help me!" Sarah screamed right into Crash's ear. He shouted in pain and leaped right off his feet, falling face flat on the ground. "Don't startle me like that!" He replied, "I nearly had a heart attack." "Sorry Crash…" She muttered. Sarah frowned, "Where's Spyro?" Crash pointed to a corner where Spyro laid on his side, breathing softly. Bandages wrapped around his shoulder to stop the bleeding. "Did I do that to him?" She asked horrifically. Crash did not want to make her feel bad. "Yeah, but he's going to be okay," He answered cheerfully, "Sure it was your fault and you nearly killed him but…" He stopped, staring at Sarah, who was now close to tears. "Oh, I didn't mean it like that!" Crash said frantically, "What I meant was that you would've killed him if it hadn't been for Kirby knocking you out cold…" Sarah sniffed, "That isn't really helping Crash…"

"Sorry…"

"Where are the others?"

"They went and planned another mission to break Sonic out."

They stopped for a moment. "Can I…see Spyro?" Sarah asked, feeling awkward. Crash nodded, and she leapt out of bed. "Spyro, are you okay?" She asked once she reached the corner. Sarah waited for a small response. Now, she began to worry that she probably killed him. "I think I'll live…" Spyro replied with a weak chuckle. Sarah was relieved and burst into tears. "I was worried that you didn't survive…" She said quietly. Spyro merely smiled, "Hey, I've been through worse, trust me." Sarah then lowered her voice to a whisper, "I…I had a dream while I was unconscious. You and your friends were in it, and you were dead…" Spyro's eyes widened, "Sounds more like a nightmare if you ask me." She nodded. "But it got worse," she continued, "Sneedly was in it, and he held a sort of remote control. He pressed a button twice and I felt like I might burst open at any moment. I was so scared I…I…" She sobbed uncontrollably. Spyro weakly nudged her, "It was just a dream, I'm sure it will never happen." She nodded her head furiously, wanting to accept that it was a dream…but what if it came true?
