Nightmares And Scars
I awoke with a startled scream and my whole body was shaking. I looked around fearfully as my eyes darted around the room. As I curled up into a tight ball, I felt two pairs of wings wrap around me. I looked up to see the worried and concerned faces of Shadow and Tempest.
"Hay. Hay. Hay. Frostfire calm down, what's wrong?!" Tempest whispered in concern, her aqua green eyes looked like they were glowing in the dark as she stared at me.
"Y-yeah I-I'll be f-fine." I quietly replied, as I clenched and unclenches my talons. Shadow frowned looking unconvinced. Her dark amethyst eyes stared right into my dark blue eyes.
By this point, Ruby had woken up and she quietly patted over to my sleeping platform where both Shadow and Tempest were sitting.
"What's wrong?!" The SkyWing quietly whispered, and Shadow just sighed. I looked up at Ruby, who stared at me with concerned yellow-gold eyes. I sighed and took another shaky breath.
"You okay, Frostfire?" Ruby asked, with concern and I looked down at my talons. I was to embarrassed to tell them that I had a nightmare. 'I mean what would they say if I tell them?' I wondered with a bit of trepidation.
I sighed softly as I raised my gaze to meet Tempest's. After a few moments of silence, I finally regained the ability to speak.
"T-to be honist with you, the reason that I'm scared of Coyote is because I had a bad experience with a SandWing when I was little." I explained, looking down at my talons. I then lifted my wings where two deep gashes went from the top to the bottom of my wings.
I folded my wings back at my sides and I looked back up at my friends who were all silent. I fiddled nervously with the sapphire necklace that hung around my neck. I thought of telling them that I was an orphan... but judging by there silence... that might not be the best idea.
It felt like hours but it was only a few minutes before Shadow was the first to speak.
"Oh my gosh! That's horrible! I understand now." The NightWing said quietly, as she looked at me with horrified amethyst eyes. I just nodded numbly in response.
I was really squeamish around blood because of my traumatizing past, and I hate small spaces and I'm afraid to be alone. I have had panic attacks a lot over the years. The only ones who know my dark and traumatizing past are, the Queen, Snowdrift, the Healer, and my two best friends, an IceWing/RainWing hybrid named Flurry, and an IceWing/NightWing hybrid named Duskwing.
I was still shaken up by the nightmare that I had, I lowered my head at the vivid memories of how my parents and younger sister will killed. Now I'm six, it has been two years since Hail had found me starved and close to death near the borders of the IceWing Kingdom. She had rushed me to the healer, she was a kind IceWing named Tundra. She still has me come in monthly to check on my scars. My back right talon has a scar from where the SkyWings knife had slashed me, and the end of my tail had a scar from it getting slashed by a NightWing.
I took a while to calm my self and I wrapped bandages around my tail and back right talon, I did it so that no one could see the scars.
