So, chapter 15 is here! Phew! I had no idea my story would be this long. And it's not even halfway through! Can you believe it!? Neither can I! I hope you're as excited as I am.

Oh yeah! I planning to make a second story as a sequel to this one. I have a few ideas, I just don't know which one to do, so I'll put up another story for you guys to determine which idea I should make into the sequel.

Please review!

"So, how's your leg?" Turquoise asked, glancing at Wildfire with concern. He shrugged, grimacing as he moved. His scales were slightly discolored where they had been singed by the leaping flames.

"I'm fine, Turquoise. Why don't you stop worrying about and give your own well-being a thought, huh?" Turquoise rolled her eyes.

"You're the only one that's hurt." She pointed out. "Besides, I'm perfectly fine." Wildfire wasn't convinced. He pointed to the tip of her tail with his talons.

"What about that?" he asked. Turquoise frowned and hid her tail with her wing. She flinched as her wings brushed against the badly burnt scales along her tail.

"It's only a little burn." she reassured him, not wanting him to worry about her. Besides, it didn't hurt unless she touched it.

"Trust me, I know burns." Wildfire frowned, "And that's no little burn. That's pretty serious."

"Don't tell anything to the others." Turquoise pleaded, glancing at the sleeping forms of Nish and Crystal. Wildfire sighed.

"Fine. But if it gets any worse, you have to say something. Got it?" Wildfire glared at her.

"Sure, sure. I'll tell you if it gets worse." Turquoise promised, wincing nervously. Great, there goes a promise I know I can't keep, she thought.

"Good." Wildfire smiled. "We'll head south in the morning." Turquoise smiled back weakly. Wildfire gathered some sticks and branches into a large pile. He looked at them as if he were thinking hard. He opened his mouth and shot a small flame into the mound of sticks. They exploded into flames for a moment then calmed into a slight flickering. Wildfire stretched out his front legs and curled up close to the fire. Turquoise smiled and curled up as well, glad that Wildfire had created a light. After all, she was afraid of the dark after all that time in the mountains.

"Wake up!" Turquoise sat bolt upright. Nish was bouncing excitedly. I haven't seen him this happy since he beat me in a race, Turquoise thought, rubbing her eyes. Come to think of it, he hasn't been this happy since we left the cave. Turquoise frowned, Why's he so happy? "Turquoise! Get up!" he shouted. "Get on your feet lazy-scales! The sun isn't going to stay up for us!" Turquoise groaned and stretched her jaws in a large yawn.

"What are you so excited about?" Turquoise murmured sleepily.

"Isn't it obvious?" he asked. "We're going to the rainforest!" he announced. Turquoise glanced at Crystal, who shrugged in confusion. Turquoise trotted up to her.

"When did we decide that?" She asked Crystal.

"Don't ask me," she said, "I have no idea."

"So, Nish." Turquoise asked. "Why are you so excited about the rainforest?" Nish stared at her.

"Seriously?! It's warm, quiet, the RainWings are quiet and peaceful, there's lots of food and colors, and...Everything!" he shouted. Crystal and Turquoise exchanged worried glances.

"I hope he doesn't act like this at the Rainforest." Turquoise mumbled.

"Well, it's not my home. I'm not as worried." Crystal said, never looking away from Nish. "Is he always like this?" she asked.

"Nope." Turquoise replied curtly. He'd better not act like this when we meet Exotic, Turquoise thought sourly. Exotic! She suddenly remembered that was why she had wanted to escape in the first place. I have to meet Glory's daughter! How could I forget?! Wildfire appeared from behind a tree and froze when he saw Nish bouncing around.

"What's going on here?" he asked. Turquoise glared at him.

"Did you tell Nish we were going to the Rainforest?"

"Yeah, why?" he replied.

"That's why he's doing that!" Crystal spat. Wildfire backed away.

"Gosh, sorry." he frowned and apologized sarcastically. "Anyway," he broke the silence (which wasn't really silent because Nish was shouting and bouncing around). "Shouldn't we get going?" He wondered.

"Of course!" Turquoise blurted. She caught herself. "I mean, sure." She grinned sheepishly.

"Okay! Yeah! Let's go!" Nish yelled, opening his wings and shooting into the sky. Crystal shrugged and soared upwards.

"Come on, Turquoise!" Wildfire called after he had taken to the sky. "We have to catch up with Nish and Crystal!" Turquoise nodded and flew up beside him. I'm coming, Exotic. She thought, her eyes lit with determination.

I hope you liked this chapter!
