Some Random Fan (Guest): Hopefully this was a bit faster than last time. We will try to get chapters out as quickly as we can but with us starting to prepare for college it might start to get tricky.
Spyro's POV
As much as Spyro would rather just enjoy the moment and fly around, he knew that Cynder was right.
We've been here for a while and we still don't really know anything…
Sure observing the humans was interesting, but that couldn't really tell them whether or not the humans were their allies. So far from what Spyro could tell, unless they were all like Ben, they wouldn't be much help.
But then how could someone have found out about us? Spyro thought as he glanced back towards the dorms, which now looked a lot smaller since they had flown away a bit. They couldn't be too careful about all this.
If someone sees us like this…
Although the thing that caught Spyro's attention was the fact that they couldn't turn into dragons until now, which puzzled him. He thought back through conversations that had been between him and Cynder to see if they had let anything slip that they were dragons, but he couldn't really find anything.
But then how could they have figured out, whoever 'they' are in the first place?
He turned towards Cynder in mid-flight, seeing her expression vary as well and he knew that she must be puzzling over the same things that he was.
"We were careful, right?" He asked and her attention came back to the present. She nodded before looking puzzled again.
"But 'how' is the question. I mean, it's not like we could do this before…" She trailed off and Spyro nodded, before glancing back at the dorms.
It still seems like we're too close…
Spyro had to hold in a laugh at their predicament. Never had he thought that they would have to worry about showing their true forms.
But of course that was when we were back in the Dragon Realms…
"The other question is, if someone has found out about us by now, then why haven't they come forward about it?" He asked, flapping his wings to boost himself higher when he almost hit a tree. Cynder followed his movement, almost like an instinct, before she glanced back towards the dorms as well.
"For one thing, we should be thankful about that, if anything. It would make our mission a lot harder if everyone knew…" He nodded, and also agreed with her statement before shivering.
If Ben found out… I can't decide whether he'd stuff us like dead animals or put us on display for everyone to see…
"You thinking about what Ben would do also?" She asked and he nodded again before laughing.
"Can you imagine? I don't even know what's going through his head half the time." He saw Cynder shiver, probably at whatever she was thinking that Ben would do to them, before she twirled in the air to reorient herself. Now that he thought about it, the idea was really creepy…
Especially since he's my roommate…
Spyro shook his head, before glancing around, feeling a bit paranoid. Nothing seemed to be in sight, only the trees moving with the wind…
"We need to figure out a plan." Cynder stated suddenly and Spyro whipped his head over to look at her. She rolled her eyes at his confused look before he quickly remembered what they were talking about.
"Well, we could do nightly surveillance…" He said, although he could tell that between classes and then flying all night, they would be in trouble.
No sleep means less awareness of the situations…
"True, but there's only so much we can observe during the night. Plus we'd have trouble keeping up with the schedule if we did it every night…" She trailed off, before glancing around, looking uncertain.
Is she looking for something?
He looked around as well, feeling like he was being watched.
But that's impossible. There's no one out here…
They glided down towards a pond that was in that middle of a grove of trees, the moon lighting up the surrounding area. He folded his wings towards his side once they were on the ground.
"Did you…?" Cynder started to ask before she shook her head. "Never mind."
Spyro glanced at her curiously.
She seems kind of off tonight… Maybe she didn't get enough sleep?
"What about during the day then?" He asked, trying to distract her from whatever seemed to be bothering her. It seemed to work because her eyes quickly focused back into the present problem that they were facing.
"But how?" She asked, her head tilting towards the side. Spyro took a few seconds to think about it before answering.
"Maybe we could create an excuse during class? Take turns observing the school…" She nodded, suddenly back in her thoughts.
"I see kids leave the classroom a lot… All they have to tell the teacher is that they don't feel good or need to use the restroom…" Spyro thought over the two options.
If we say we don't feel good everyday then it'll quickly become suspected…
"We can go with the bathroom one for now." Cynder nodded and her eyes lit up, mirth shining in them.
"Although this time, let's try not to get sent to the principal's office." Spyro's face heated up at the reminder and he laughed.
"Yeah, that could be a problem if that happens a lot. We can only make up so many excuses…" Spyro glanced back towards the forest, in the direction that the dorms were.
"We might want to be heading back…" He trailed off, hating the idea of going back to that place. It almost seemed like a cage now that they could fly…
"Yeah… but how are we supposed to turn back?" Cynder asked and Spyro's thoughts froze.
How?
"Maybe… think really hard about being a human?" He laughed nervously at the suggestion. Cynder rolled her eyes, before taking off, hovering above the ground and waiting for him to join her.
"Sure… we can try that. Although this time I would suggest doing it while you're on solid ground." Spyro looked up to see her smiling down at him and he laughed, taking off and heading towards the direction of the dorms.
"I'll try." He stated, before racing on ahead, with her quickly catching up. Tomorrow would be a busy day for them and they needed all the rest they could get.
AnimeWolfGirl16: So… more planning and data in this one than the last few chapters. :)
AnimeWolfGirl9: For everyone out there, pay very close attention to this chapter, maybe read it a few times. There will be something of a Cynder POV chapter coming up explaining a few things that Spyro might not have caught on to :)
AnimeWolfGirl16: Cynder's just awesome like that. :) Also, thank you so much for helping us reach over 100 reviews! You guys are awesome!
AnimeWolfGirl9: Yes~ When she told me that we had over 100 reviews, I thought that I was dreaming. Then she showed me all the feedback we'd gotten over the years and… it got kind of emotional :D
AnimeWolfGirl16: So once again. Thanks for being patient! I know we haven't had the best updating schedule so I thank all of you who have stuck with us all this time! Please let us know what you thought! :)
