Losing A Brother

Flara's Age: 7

Lucky's Age: 5

It was very dark when it happened. The guard was out sleeping against the door, snoring very loudly.

Suddenly, a tail slipped through a small crack in the door and began to feel around for something.

"You knew that was there and haven't thought of this before?!" Lucky asked, giving his sister a look.

"Hey, in my personal defense, I just notice it today!" Flara said back, before she began to feel around again.

After a bit, her tail finally found the man. She soon began to creep it up until she felt the keys. After making sure it was slowly unsecured from his belt without him waking up, she brought the keys through the hole.

"Yes!" Lucky whispered-yelled as Flara picked up a key for their door. She put it in the key hole and turning it, unlocking the door.

"You know, I never doubted you when it come to your ideas." Lucky whispered to her as they tip-toed out of their.

"Hey, you know I'm the only one here with a human brain." Flara remarked, looking at the sleeping guard.

"Then again, I don't even know what to make of this brain." She said after an after thought, making Lucky chuckle slightly before they ran away from the guard.

They were running for a while, making sure that they didn't run into any humans. They soon found themselves where Drago imprisoned his own slave dragons.

"Oh my..." Flara mumbled, looking at all the dragons that were, tied, beaten, and were hardly breathing. She even recognize a few, the ones who would call her names and make fun of her. But now they look more lifeless than usually. Despite at what they all done to her, Flara couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

"I knew that human was a madman, but this is..." Lucky trailed off. He too was feeling sorry for them, even after all they did to his sister.

"We can't just leave them here!" Flara suddenly spoke up, making Lucky look at her like she was demented.

"What? Flara, I understand why would you think that, but-" He was cut off when Flara quickly look at with a look.

"Lucky, these dragons had probably been here longer than we have! Do you think they deserved more of this torture?! Yes, I know what some of them did to me, but not even them deserved this!"

Lucky looked down a bit, feeling a little ashamed for thinking that. But can you blame him? All those dragons every did to Flara was either teased and make fun of her, he even heard one of them called her a half-breed.

Meanwhile, Flara was heading over to a large Rumblehorn who was chained and muzzled. She quickly began to pull at the chains, hoping it could break. However, it also caught the Rumblehorn's attention.

"What are you doing kid?!" He asked in shocked.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" Flara said back, with Lucky soon joining her on pulling the chains, "We're trying to set you free!"

"Have you've two lost your minds? You're just kids! You would never make it! We live in a life or death situation, I would suggest in going back into your cells." The Rumblehorn tried to reasoned with them.

"Are you kidding me?!" Flara nearly screamed at him while Lucy began working on the locks with his tail. "Why would we go back into that nightmare when we could be free?!"

"You don't get it, do you?" The Rumblehorn said gruffly, "This isn't your imaginary world. In this world, we can't trust anybody."

"Yeah, you'll say that even when we get you out of here." Flara mumbled as she begins to help Lucky with the locks.

The Rumblehorn grumbled at them, before he began to hear a few human guards talking behind the door. Suddenly he began to roar very loudly, starling the two siblings.

"Will you keep it down in there!" Shouted a guard from outside as they heard keys turning and the door opening. The guards stopped right where they walking when they saw the Typhoomerang siblings out of their cell.

A moment of silence...

"Hey, two of the dragons escaped!" The guard shouted to the other one, who quickly nodded and ran out of the room, getting more guards while the other guard was slowly walking over to them with his spear raise.

"Alright you little, monsters.." He growled as Flara and Lucky jumped off the Rumblehorn and began to back away from the guard, "Time to go back into-"

Before he could finish, Flara's tail found a hammer and threw it at his face, knocking him out cold.

Both Lucky and Flara were breathing deeply after that, but Flara's breathe soon became even heavier as she turned to glared at the Rumblehorn.

"Why did you do that!?" She screamed, her pupils narrowing at the Rumblehorn while Lucky backs away from her, knowing where this is going. "We were trying to help you!"

However, the Rumblehorn wasn't phased by her outburst. "I'd told you kid, you can't trust anybody in this world..." He said with a hard expression.

That made Flara's face calmed down a little, thinking about what he's saying. Before she could fully think it through, she heard feet thumping and yelling coming from behind the door.

"Flara, we need to leave!" Lucky yelled, as he darted towards a door on the other side, but stopped when he saw Flara still where she was "Flara!"

Flara was still in thought about what the Rumblehorn said, before she looked up and glared at him. "Well, I hope you're happy that you're going to stay in this nightmare." With that said, she ran over to Lucky, but soon the door from other side slammed open, showing a lot of angry looking humans.

"There they are!" Shouted one of guards, soon they ran straight towards the siblings, but they quickly close the door with them outside. Making sure they couldn't get out, Flara and Lucky both shot out fire blasts on the edges, melting them into the wall.

"Hey!" Shouted one of the guards as they all pound on the door, trying to break it down. But it couldn't get to budge.

Flara and Lucky were breathing deeply from their close call.

"Okay, I don't know how can this get anymore worse..." Flara said, but after saying that, they heard men shouts echoing from another hallway near them, where they saw a light in a distance.

Lucky turned to give his sister a look, who was staring wide eye at the hallway. "Me and my big mouth..."

Soon both Flara and Lucky were running as fast as they could from the stampede of Humans behind them.

"This way Lucky!" Flara shouted, stopping at a small hole in the wall. She quickly went through it followed by Lucky. The Humans chasing them stopped right at the hole and tried to grabbed them, but they were too far away already.

Flara and Lucky soon found themselves out of the hole and back into the cave. On the far side of the cave, they found an opening and a ledge that leads to the sky.

"Lucky, look! Moonlight! We're almost there!" Flara grabbed one of Lucky's horns and began to make a break for it, but suddenly Lucky stopped.

"Flara, wait!"

"What is it?" Flara asked, looking at her brother in confusion. However that confusion turned into shocked and worried when she saw Lucky panting really fast and putting his tail on his heart. How could she forget? Lucky has a weak heart, he can never run that long.

"Flara...I think...you need...to...go...without...me..." Lucky breathed in hard, trying to get control of his breathe.

"What?!" Flara whisper-yelled, hoping she didn't startle Lucky so he couldn't get a heart attack. "Lucky, I'm not leaving you here!"

"Flara, I'll...just...slow you down." Lucky put his head down, feeling upset that he

"Lucky? Look at me." When he didn't, Flara said it a bit more forcefully, "Look at me!"

When he did, he saw Flara looking at him with an intense stair. "Lucky, I've been looking after you my whole life. All I practically raise you, fed you, be the best big sister I could! Ha...I even saved your life just moments after you were born! If you think I'm going to leave you here to rot, then think again. I've been protecting you forever, and I'm not going to leave you here now."

Lucky was staring his sister with admiration. All her life, Flara has spent her time looking after Lucky, not once has she thought about having her own life. That was a big sacrifice Flara had made, which inspired Lucky's wish to return the favor. He would do anything to give Flara her own life.

"So what do you say?" Flara said in her light heartily voice as she put a tail on his shoulder. Lucky nodded, maybe if he did come with her, he could find a way to fulfill his wish.

Suddenly they heard a bunch of human shouts coming from their right. They quickly turned to see a light on the other side of the cave, knowing there is a bunch of humans coming there way.

"Lucky, we need to go." Flara said, fear etched in her voice as she tugged on Lucky's horn. "Think you can fly long enough?"

When he nodded, the two quickly made a break for it to the edge. Quickly flapping their wings, they took off before they ran off the ledge. The humans stopped at the ledge, watching the Typhoomerang siblings fly their way to freedom.

"We did it!" Flara cheered while Lucky was laughing with relief and amazement. They did it! They're free! Finally, they could have the life they wanted.

Just as Lucky was enjoying his happiness, it quickly turned to horror and petrification when he looked back down at the humans.

The reason why he was so scared cause back on the cliff, the humans were setting up a roper trap. Once they were done, they quickly aimed it at them and fired. That was when everything started to slow down.

Lucky was staring wide eye at the bola that was coming towards them. Then he realize it wasn't after both of them, it was heading for Flara.

He quickly turned his head to warn his sister, before he stopped to look at her face. She looked so happy, happy that she and her brother could finally have the life they wanted that she didn't even notice the bola coming her way. She kept on thinking about how they would grow up together, explore the world together, and be strong together.

That's when Lucky realize this is Flara's wish. All she ever wanted was for both of them to live a good life. But it was Lucky's wish for Flara to have her own life...

Knowing what he must do, he let himself fall back from Flara, before he quickly pushed Flara from the behind. It caught her off guard at the sudden shoved, by the time she regained the control of her flying and looked down to see Lucky get trapped in the bola.

Lucky stared up at his sister with guilty eyes as he fell towards the cheering humans. He knew Flara is never going to forgive him for this. Flara loves him too much. But Lucky loves her just as much, she spent her whole life raising him, that she never once thought to consider herself. Lucky knows that's unhealthy, that's why it was his dream, to repay everything Flara has every done for him. He slowly closed his eyes with a small smile on his face as he fell, finally feeling truly happy that he finally repaid his debt.

Flara on the other hand, was staring horror-struck as her brother fell towards the humans. She couldn't believe it, Lucky; her little brother, the little brother she always looked out for. The one she promised she would protect, but now she's watching him fall towards his doom.

With the last of her breath, she screamed "LUCKY...!" Before everything turned black.

Author's Note: Okay, I know what some are you going to say, 'You kept waiting this long to see Flara losing the only family she has left?!' But hear me out! She wouldn't be that dragon we saw in Seaworthy if it weren't for this tragedy! I promise, it's not over yet! Oh, and on a lighter note, I stared in the Peter Pan Musical on May 7th and it was an excellent show!

SHOUT OUTS-

Omegaman17: Yeah, I know you probably want to kill me for keeping you waiting and 'killing off' Lucky *Winks* But if it makes you feel better, it's not over yet.
