So, I didn't get much feedback on the most previous chapters, but I got the next chapter done.
Please Review!
Turquoise lay awake in her sleeping area, thinking of Exotic. Where is she now? What does she look like? How old is she? Does she have NightWing powers too? She would have a lot of questions to answer when she met Turquoise. Turquoise glanced over at Nish and saw his wounds. She smiled when she saw that the bruises were already fading away. But she was soon reminded that he had destroyed her chances of escaping. Now we're never going to meet Exotic! She hissed. Of course we will, she reassured herself, We'll get out at some point. Nish groaned and turned over. "Ow…" he hissed, clenching his teeth. He opened his eyes and glanced at Turquoise. "Is it still supposed to hurt?" he wheezed.
"Yes, Nish." Turquoise rolled her eyes. "I told you, it's supposed to keep hurting until it's healed."
"Why?" he sniffed.
"I don't know why! That's just how it works!" she shouted, exasperated.
"Fine…" Nish mumbled, glaring at Turquoise. He was beginning to curl up again when he suddenly froze. "Did you hear that?" he asked.
"No." Turquoise pricked her ears, straining to hear the noise. A quiet rustling noise came from right outside on the surface.
"There's somebody out there! I I'm pretty sure it's not Glory, Clay, Tsunami, or Sunny." She decided.
"How do you know?" Nish asked. Turquoise hissed in annoyance.
"Well, the steps are too light to be Clay's, Tsunami steps too proudly to walk so clumsily, Glory is almost completely quiet when she walks, and Sunny isn't that clumsy."
"Oh." Nish replied dumbly, probably realizing that what he had said before was stupid.
"Let's go check it out. Maybe we'll find another way out." Nish shrugged and followed Turquoise as she trotted towards the source of the noise.
"There!" she whispered, pointing at a hole in the wall. "There it is!"
"How are we going to get out of there?" Nish asked.
"Well, it's big enough for us to speak through." Turquoise pointed out.
"What makes you think that that dragon is going to want to talk to us?" Nish hissed.
"You'll see." Turquoise trotted up to the hole and pressed her eye against it, getting a glance at the outside world. Are those…stars? She gasped, glancing at the shimmering white lights in the sky. Suddenly, she remembered why she was looking outside in the first place. "Hello?" she whispered. "Is anybody out there?" She heard an audible gasp and glanced around outside.
"Where are you?" she heard a young dragon voice call. "I can't see you!"
"I'm over here!" Turquoise called back. Suddenly, a red dragonet appeared.
"Where?" he asked.
"In front of you. Take a few steps forward! I'm looking out a small hole!"
"I can see your eye!" the dragon smiled and walked forward. Then he frowned. "Why are you in the mountain?"
"We've been in here our whole lives!"
"Wait. Did you say we?" he asked. "Are there more of you?"
"Yeah, one more." Turquoise stepped back and let the other dragonet look through. He saw Nish and smiled happily.
"Oh, wow! And you aren't leaving! You're staying right there and talking to me!"
"What do you mean?" Nish asked.
"We don't have time for that, yet." Turquoise glared at Nish. "Um…" she glanced at the dragonet.
"My name's Wildfire." He smiled.
"Okay, Wildfire. Could you pull some of the stones out of the way so we can squeeze out?" she asked. Wildfire grinned.
"Of course. Here you go!" He began clawing at the loose rocks and rolling them out of the way. Soon, the hole was big enough for both of them to crawl though.
"Thank you." Turquoise gasped.
"Anytime." The dragonet beamed. "Wait… What are your names?"
"My name is Turquoise." Turquoise explained. "And this," she pointed at Nish, "is Nish. We're the dragonets from the new prophecy."
"You're the dragonets from the, huh?" he asked, cocking his head.
"The prophecy? All dragons have heard of it…right?" Nish said. Wildfire shook his head.
"Nope, I haven't." he said. "Why? Am I supposed to know about it?"
"Uh, yeah!" Nish barked. "What, you grow up under a rock!?" he demanded.
"No…" Wildfire said nervously. "I've lived by myself. I don't really know much of what's going on out in the world."
"Neither do we." Turquoise glared at Nish, who grinned sheepishly. "So," she changed the subject. "Do you know where the Rainforest is?" she asked Wildfire.
"Yeah." He perked up. "I've been there before."
"Can you take us?"
"Of course! I'd be happy to!" He bounced away and climbed down the mountain. "Come on!" he called. Turquoise unfurled her wings and took off, gliding down the mountainside.
"Whatever." Nish growled, spreading his wings and flicking his tail, brandishing the poisonous scorpion tip. "He'd better not steal my Turquoise." He hissed, watching as her beautifully colored scales disappeared into the heavy fog. I won't let him take you away from me, he thought, determination lighting his face.
Yes, Nish has a crush on Turquoise. And yes, he is half SandWing and half SeaWing.
