Disclaimer: I do not own Draganta. I don't own Spyro, or related characters either. I own Rosie! ( Looks at Rosie ) Rosie didn't I tell you we're done playing paintball! Although, it was so much fun shooting Ember! Oh, what the heck! Let me get my paintball gun and lets all go shoot Ember for no apparent reason! Viewers, you're all invited as well! Also, just to give you a heads up, this chapter is even more depressing than the last one, so don't expect ANY humor in this chapter... Rating might go up on this one, too...

Chap.10: So Cold

"Draganta! Ignitus! Rosie is gone!" Spyro cried out when Draganta had returned. Draganta just gave him a confused expression. "What do you mean by she's gone?" He asked. Spyro told them how Rosie thought that it would be better if she wasn't around. And how she plans on going somewhere, but not going back home. "We got to go find her, because if we don't..." Draganta hesitated in finishing his sentence, "Night will..." Spyro and Draganta set out to find Rosie, leaving Ignitus back at the Dragon Temple to wait for Rosie to see if she ever decides to come back on her own. Too bad they didn't notice the dark figure that was overhearing their converstation from the top of the Dragon Temple..."So the little girl has decided to run off somewhere..." Night said to herself. She smiled wickedly. "Maybe I can be of assistance and go help the girl out myself." Then she used her dark powers to teleport herself to Rosie.

Rosie has been running for miles now, and she was getting very tired, so she sat down to rest. Rosie took her time to observe her surroundings. There was much more trees here than in the Dragon Village, which made it even more dark than it really is. "Maybe no one lives here..." Rosie said to herself. It's not that she needs anybody, it's just that... She's lost! Rosie has no idea where the HECK she is, so can't there be at least one person out here that can tell her where there is a small village around here!? Rosie walked to a small clearing on a ledge and she saw someone sitting there.

She looked a little like Night, only a bit smaller. She wore a purple cape with a hood. She had the same bat like wings as Night as well. She was quickly disturbed when Rosie appeared. But instead of attacking Rosie, she smiled, then slowly disappeared into the fog. "No wait! I need help!" Rosie cried and jumped at her, but surprisingly she went straight through her causing Rosie to fall off the ledge and into the stream down below. When she swam up to the surface for air, Rosie saw that the mysterious person wasn't there on the ledge anymore. Who was she? Frustrated, she slapped the water. Rosie swam to back to land and held herself, wondering if leaving the Dragon Village was a good idea. Cold and lonely, she wished she could go back, but she knew she couldn't even though she badly wanted to...

A/N: I found a really good song to go with this scene! "I'm With You"!

I'm standing on the bridge.
I'm waiting in the dark.
I thought that you'd be here by now.
There's nothing but the rain.
No footsteps on the ground.
I'm listening but there's no sound...

Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?

[Chorus:
It's a damn cold night!
Trying to figure out this life!
Won't you take me by the hand,
Take me somewhere new?
I don't know who you are,
But I.
I'm with you.
I'm with you...

[End of Chorus:

I'm looking for a place.
I'm searching for a face.
Is anybody here I know?
'Cause nothing's going right!
And everything's a mess!
And no one likes to be alone...

Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?

[Back to Chorus:

Maybe they aren't coming for me... Rosie thought to herself. Maybe they are better off without me... She felt a drop of water fall on her snout. She looked up at the sky and saw that it has began to rain. It was times like these where she wished Draganta and Spyro was here. Spyro... She suddenly realized how much she misses him. He was the first person to be nice to her, and she promised herself that she would make a friend, and there she goes and BLOWS it just like that! Rosie sighed. Why must life be so hard...

Oh!

Why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind!
Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah YEAH!
It's a damn cold night.
Trying to figure out this life.
Won't you take me by the hand,
Take me somewhere new?
I don't know who you are,
But I...! I'm with YOU!
I'm with YOU!
Take me by the hand,
Take me somewhere new!
I don't know who you are,
But I!
I'm with YOU!
I'm with YOU!
Take me by the hand,
Take me somewhere new!
I don't know who you are,
But I.
I'm with you.
I'm with you...

Rosie was all soaking wet when she finally found shelter. A small cave will do, it's better than sitting out in the rain that's for sure. Rosie didn't have time to relax of course, because she didn't know that she was going to have an uninvited guest... "Lookie here. Little Rosie, all alone..." Rosie turned around and saw it was Night. She was so frightened, Rosie tried escaping out of the cave, but Night was able to grab her rist. "Let me go!" Rosie cried, as she tried pulling away from Night. Night smirked, "Why? It's not like you're going anywhere. And if you were, who's going to help you? Your friends?!" She laughed and knocked Rosie down. Night took out her wand and pointed it at Rosie. "Now to finish you off..."

Rosie used her fin tail and slapped the wand out of Night's hands, then she ran for it. Rosie stopped shortly, because now she knows that running away doesn't solve anything. Rosie was going to stay to fight. Night came right at her, but luckily Rosie jumped up, preformed a perfect melee move, and kicked Night right in the face!! "You little brat!" Night growled, and blasted a ray of dark chi from her wand at Rosie, sending her hard to the ground. Rosie cringed as she slowly got up, feeling pain, because she had broken her wing. Night was about to give her a punch, but Rosie was quick enough to blow ice around her fist so Night was unable to lift it. Night used her other fist and punched Rosie.

"Once I'm finished with you, then the position of Queen will be mine!" Yelled Night as she tried attacking Rosie again with her wand. Rosie jumped out of the way. "I still can't believe that my mother would actually let you have the position!" Rosie said. She did another melee move, but Night caught her by Rosie's neck and started choking her. "Oh, that's because that will was fake. I wrote it and they all fell for it, too! Just like I knew they would!" Night answered. Rosie slashed Night's face with her claws. "WHAT?!" She cried out angery. "You mean the reason why I can't go back is because of you! The reason why my mother is being hated!" Rosie was angry, and that meant it was the perfect time for a fury attack... Using almost all of her energy, she managed to preform her fury attack!

---

Somewhere a mile away, Draganta and Spyro were still looking for Rosie. "Worried?" Draganta asked Spyro.
"Yeah... I never actually thought Rosie was serious on the whole running away thing. I thought she was just... you know... being Rosie..." Spyro answered softly. "Where can she be?" Suddenly, a huge explosion erupted farther ahead. Spyro looked at Draganta. "You don't think...?"
"There is only one fury attack like that I know... It's Rosie's! Come on, we have to hurry! She might be in extreme danger!!" They both ran to the scene, but ended up seeing something they never wanted to happen...

---

Rosie callasped onto the floor, because she felt even more weak than the last time she did a fury attack. She looked around to see if Night was still around. She wasn't. Rosie slowly picked herself up and smiled. "I did it! I won!" Rosie cried out happily. Then without realizing what was happening, Night silently snuck up behind her.
Raised her wand.
And took a HUGE blow at Rosie's head, knocking her out!! Maybe... even completely knocking her out... Night hovered over Rosie's body in triumph. "No little girl, I won..." She smiled wickedly when Draganta and Spyro finally made it. "I believe this is yours." Night said as she pierced the sharp bottom end of her wand into Rosie's heart. Then Night disappeared... Draganta and Spyro raced to Rosie's bleeding body. She was not moving... "Oh no..." Draganta said silently. This was the last thing he wanted to happen. Spyro tried to hold back tears as he watched Draganta picked up Rosie's lifeless body. "We're too late..."

A/N: OMG! Did I just kill my character?! ( Slaps self ) What have I done?! So many questions I'm going to get... Who is that mysterious person and is Rosie really dead?! Well, you'll see in the next chap. Anyway, I'm going to have a hard time figuring out how EXACTLY Rosie lives. A potion?! A spell?! I need more ideas! Please review but no flames!
