Okay, so on with another chapter! This is basically Embers side of the story when she regained consciousness. Hope you enjoy! As usual, no characters are mine, except for those that I made up like Pyro and co.

Embers story

White. Every thing around Ember was white.

Blurred shapes moved in and out of focus, and some voices and sounds reached her ear.

"Ember...okay?"she heard. The voice was slow and at first she didn't recognise it.

"Ember...honey, are you alright!"the voice was slightly panicky and distorted but it was definitely her mothers.

"M...mum?"asked Ember, keeping her eyes shut.

"Ember, oh thank god you're alright! You had us worried sick! I'm so glad you're okay!"cried her mother as she hugged Ember softly.

"W...what...what happened?"asked Ember, sitting up and glancing around.

After noticing she was in hospital, she started to panic.

"Mum, where am I! What's going on!"she said in a worried voice.

A sickly feeling swirled around inside her and she cried out in pain.

One of her ribs had been damaged in the blast and she had just applied more pressure onto it, making it feel as if a red hot poker had been plunged into her side.

She fell back onto the bed, tears starting to roll down her cheeks, mixing with the dust and dirt that had settled there after the blast.

"It's okay, everything is going to be alright! Calm down honey! Please!"begged her mother.

Ember let out a sob and collapsed in to darkness.

"Angeline, she'll be alright, leave her alone to sort herself out. She's been through enough today,"said Embers father, "anyway, I think we should show our appreciation to Spyro, after all, he did save her from...well, I just can't bring my self to say it,"

And with a final worried glance at Ember, her parents left.

After being alone for a while, Ember awoke and replayed what had happened in her mind,

"Spyro saved me! Does that mean he cares about me?"

Lots of thoughts entered her mind, mainly about Spyro.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps in the corridor. She didn't really know why, but she felt she'd better lie down and try to go back to sleep.

She closed her eyes and stayed perfectly still, she heard the door open and some one come in.

"Oh my god! Its him!"she thought.

She felt a strange feeling sweep through her when she felt Spyro's warm, steady breath against her neck, a kind of craving.

Then, without warning, Spyro kissed her slowly on her snout. Embers heart did a back flip and she tried her hardest not to blush.

"Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god!"she thought to herself as he pulled away.

Her heart felt like it would burst right out of her if it went any faster. She felt so happy, like nothing mattered any more except Spyro.

"I love you Ember, but I'm scared of putting you in danger. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you," he whispered gently.

Then, with one last squeeze of her hand, he left. Soon after, Embers parents came in and told her what had happened while she was unconscious.

"Spyro saved me?"asked Ember, her eyes lit up in awe.

"He's so brave! Oh Spyro, I love you!"she yelled at herself mentally.

After a while of waiting(and Ember convincing her parents that she could walk home alone)

She left the hospital and began home. She didn't know that she was being followed by Pyro.

Pyro was in the mood for a scrap, and who better to scrap with then a lonely, defenceless hatchling that couldn't even carry herself out of a smoky building.

Ember was thinking about what Spyro had done and felt so happy, she didn't notice a large red tail swing her way.

There was a small trickle of blood from a cut that had been planted on Embers leg.

Ember yelled out in pain and clutched her leg as tight as she could to try and disperse the pain.

She skidded across the path and hit a rather large rock, sending another large jolt of pain fly through her.

"Please, don't do this!" cried Ember in an attempt to dissuade Pyro from breaking her leg.

Pyro raised his claw, intending to slash her leg, drawing more blood. He enjoyed watching this pathetic dragon cry.

But just as he brought it down, A purple flash darted into Pyro, sending him flying.

"Looks like the boyfriend has just arrived!" yelled a rather angry Pyro.

Spyro, of course, was the reason for the now even angrier Pyro.

"Leave her alone!" warned Spyro.

"What if I don't want to?" asked Pyro with a smirk.

"Then I'll make you!" yelled Spyro, who charged into Pyro sending him hurtling into a wall.

Pyro came right up to Spyro with a knife shaped rock in his claw.

Now, considering Spyro was only a hatchling and couldn't breathe fire, imagine every ones surprise when Spyro sent forth a burst of flame that landed on Pyro's chest, knocking him clean off the floor and against a wall with a thud.

"Lets go!" he called to Ember. And Spyro grabbed her by the hand and led her away.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Erm...well...I...well I...er,"she stuttered. She was stunned at the fact that the boy she was desperately in love with had grabbed her hand and saved her again.

She blushed and looked worriedly into Spyro's eyes to see if he'd noticed.

Sure enough, he too blushed and gave her a quick smile before running off.

"I wish I could be with her, but someone's out to get me and it would put her in danger if anyone found out!"he thought, and he instantly felt upset.

Little did he know that his later life would make this fact even more true.

After all, his later enemies would be able to use his love for Ember as a weapon against him, and Spyro couldn't put Ember in that much danger.

And so his future began.
