Basilisk

I traveled through the dense rainforest as soon as I heard the screams of my parents, screaming in pain, I swear I shot like fire through the dense undergrowth and various puddles. I saw my brother as soon as I came to a stop at our hut, he was cowering from the giant mudwings that stood before us, my two other siblings doing the same. They scowled as they saw me,

"A usual gesture of their obvious love for me and that they love having me around," I thought with a snarl. Of course family rivalries were not important at the moment, as the Mudwings that stood before us, looked to be about 6 Mudwings, and of course like many other dragons that come into our small part of the rainforest they must have been drunk on belladonna. Quickly one struck me, my mind reeled as I fell off our platform onto the ground in a crash, I wished I could do anything useful but nope I don't even know how to change my scales to a color that could make my siblings like me. The world seemed to float away as I lay there with my throbbing head.

Visions shot through my head, the cave I had lived in before we came to the rain forest, a simpler time when I thought my siblings were nice, well I was about to be proven how wrong I was...

I saw a familiar face shake me, I saw dusk settling onto the sky "Wait it was noon a minute ago?" I thought as my brain was still reeling.

"HEY ARE YOU ALIVE!?" my sister screamed in my face as two other heads popped up from the bushes.

"Oh darn it he is alive," hissed my brother turning a violent shade of reddish orange.

"Should we... dispose of him," grinned my sister deviously, with a slight sadness that did not seem to match up, "After all mom and dad can't stop us..."

I glanced at my siblings angrily, "What do you mean mom and dad, can't stop you!? They are totally coming back and are going to ground you for a month?" I said with the smallest of smirks, but somehow the threat seemed hollow as it sunk in, mom and dad died, they died...

"THEY DIED!?" I shrieked at the top of my lungs, tears flowing freely down my cheeks, instantly I felt angry for crying as I could not show weakness around my siblings.

"Oh are you sad about mom and dad dying? How about you join them!" growled my brother in delight.

Before I could even move a muscle they all shot forward scratching and clawing at me, I flailed around desperately as they scrambled around me and started to drag me across the jungle, I always knew they hated me, but I never thought they would do this.

"W-why are you doing t-this!?" I said tears falling down my cheeks,

"CAN IT!" hissed my brother wrapping a big leaf around my mouth. I continued screaming the whole way out of the jungle. They quickly threw me into the sand and buried me all while laughing and telling jokes. By nightfall they left and I was able to wiggle out of the sand, it was already midnight by the time I got all the sand out of my scales. I did learn an important lesson that way though, even though my siblings practically tried to kill me.

Never Trust Anyone Again! This world is filled with disgusting dragons that deserve to die.

"Hey Basilisk! Come on the Skywing Queen called all her allies to the palace for her hatching day! Race you there!" called out a purple seawing.

Well all except for one. "Ok! You're on!" I told Shell.

As I flew towards the Sky Palace I thought of the day I would get back to my siblings and give them something they will Never forget.
