A/N: This will probably be my longest chapter yet, and hopefully my best on this story, which won't be saying much because I only have one other chapter on this story. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thanks for reading.
A&E
Cynder's POV
I sat there in the A&E waiting room anxiously as Spyro went into intensive care. The doctors came and saw me an hour later and told me the news.
"He's OK if your worried, and judging from your expression I'd say you are" the doctor said.
"How bad is he hurt?" I asked, preparing myself for the worst.
"His left foreleg has been shattered and it need and needs immediate surgery, he has a serious concussion and he probably won't remember much about the accident" he said. Tears started streaming down my face as I heard the news.
"I nearly killed him, didn't I?" I asked, sobbing.
"No, you didn't don't worry about it, he'll be fine" the doctor said "He's awake and you can see him for a few minutes before he goes into surgery is you want" I thought about it for a few seconds before slowly nodding my head. The doctor led me through a maze of corridors until we came to Spyro's room. The room was white with spotted curtains, the bed covers were bright red and the pillows were gold. I walked over to Spyro's bed and I saw him looking around drowsily. He looked at me when I walked towards him and then he smiled.
"Hey Cynder" he said quietly.
"Hey Spyro" I said, then I started sobbing again. I collapsed on the chair next to his bed and cried, he leant over and put him arm on my shoulder. I looked up and saw his smile and I suddenly felt better. He wasn't angry with me, he didn't hate me, he was just concerned about my state of mind.
"Hey Cynder, don't cry, I'm OK, see I'm still alive" Spyro said, still smiling at me.
"Spyro how can you be smiling at me, you nearly died because of me!" I sobbed.
"No I didn't nearly die because of you, I nearly died because of the fall" he said. I sobbed even harder as the memory flashed through my mind. Spyro sighed and pulled me into a hug. Suddenly I felt all the bad thoughts leave my mind. In his embrace I felt safe and protected, like nothing could hurt me when I was with him. He wrapped his wings around me and I cried harder into his shoulder for a few minutes. Eventually the doctors came in and told me I had to leave to Spyro could get into the operating room, I reluctantly got off him and watched as hew as wheeled away. He looked at me one last time and winked as he disappeared from view.
I didn't see Spyro for another day, my parents came to take me home and they promised they would let me visit tomorrow. I left reluctantly and on the ride home I couldn't help remember the feeling I got when Spyro held me. I had only known him for a day but I thought I was already feeling something for him. I wondered if he felt the same about me, but then I remembered what the principle said about him. He was a ladies man and that I was sure of. I laughed a little and my mother looked back at me from her seat in the care and gave me a confused look.
"Is everything alright back there honey?" she asked me.
"Yeah I'm fine mom" I replied.
"Don't worry too much about Sparrow" my dad said.
"It's Spyro dad" I corrected.
"OK, I'll leave your boyfriend alone" he sighed.
"He's not my boyfriend!" I shouted "Mom tell him!"
"Alright, but Cynder don't yell at your father" she said "And dear stop teasing Cynder about her boyfriend"
"Mom!" I shouted. My parents laughed and no one spoke for the rest of the drive home. That night I dreamt about my time with Spyro and how he whispered things in my ear when we hugged, and I woke up to find myself crying. I dried my eyes and went back to sleep.
The next day I was excused from school to go and see Spyro. I was excited to see how his surgery had gone and I hoped that his leg would be fixed soon. The doctor showed me and my family to Spyro's room and closed the door behind us. My parents never actually met Spyro the day before and were quite surprised to see what he really looked like. They hid their surprise but not before Spyro smiled slyly at them then turned to me. His uniform had been removed and he was only wearing his pants, so his muscled chest and abdomen were exposed to my sight. I tried to hide my blush but Spyro noticed and so did my parents, but they didn't say anything.
"Hello Cynder" he said, then turned to my parents "Good morning mister and is this your daughter?" Spyro asked cocking his head. My dad chuckled deeply and wound his tail around my mom's.
"No this is my wife" he laughed.
"Oh sorry, it's just that you look quite young so I just assumed-" Spyro explained.
"it's quite alright Spyro" my mom chuckled. I rolled my eyes and turned back to Spyro.
"How's your leg?" I asked.
"Stinging like a nest of hornets" he replied with a small laugh.
"Is it that bad?" I asked.
"Yeah, they had to slice open my leg and remove all of the bones, then they put metal fasteners and bolts in to keep the bone together, and then they had to weld my leg back on to make sure it stayed on" Spyro said "I won't be able to walk unsupported for at least half a year or longer but I don't really mind" I started to cry again and Spyro noticed, but my parents didn't, he gestured for me to go over to him and I ran over an gave him a hug. My parents were quite shocked when I started sobbing onto Spyro's shoulder but they began to smile when Spyro started to comfort me.
"It's OK Cynder, I don't blame you for this, I don't blame anyone for it" Spyro said rubbing my back with his arms "I'll be OK and we can go back to school and forget about this, well you can but I'll have to stay at home for a while"
"But Spyro this is my fault, if I hadn't pushed you then you wouldn't be here" I sobbed.
"If you hadn't pushed me then you wouldn't be having a day off school, so that's a bonus right?" Spyro asked. I laughed a little and started to stop crying. I was hiccupping softly as Spyro wiped the tears off my eyes and smiled at me.
"I'll be fine Cynder I promise, don't worry" he assured me.
"When do you get out of the hospital?" I asked.
"In two weeks, why you wanna visit me again?" Spyro asked.
"Sure, if you'll let me" I said.
"Why wouldn't I?" Spyro asked. I shrugged my shoulders and began to talk to him. We discussed our early lives and kindergarten, our first grade in school and our first crush. We talked about random subjects for ours until my mom tapped me on the shoulder and told me it was time to leave.
"See you later Cynder!" Spyro called as I left. I turned around and came him one last hug goodbye. My parents smiled and intertwined their tails again. Spyro hugged me back and we released each other.
"Bye Spyro" I said to him. Spyro waved goodbye and we left the hospital to go home. When we were driving I daydreamed about Spyro. I remembered his laugh and his funny jokes. I definitely remembered his gorgeous smile. Then I caught myself.
"Did I just think that?" I thought. I was arguing with myself until my mom spoke up and brought me out of my thoughts.
"Spyro's quite nice, isn't he?" she asked.
"Yeah he is" I said, not really paying attention.
"You like him don't you?" she asked.
"Yeah, he's my friend" I said.
"No I mean you like him like him" my mom said. I spluttered suddenly and my eyes widened.
"What no I don't!" I protested.
"Don't lie Cynder" she said "I've seen how happy you are when your around him, how you look at him and how you've been daydreaming about him for the past twenty minutes" she said.
"How did you-?" I asked, dumbfounded.
"I'm your mother, I know these things" she said "And if you do start dating, well you've got my support, he's quite a charming young dragon, isn't he dear" My dad turned his head and joined in the conversation.
"He's a strong dragon, I can tell, you'd be smart if you picked him" he commented.
"See, you have mine and your dad's support" my mom said.
"I don't know if he likes me back" I said.
"Ha I knew you liked him" my mom said.
"You mean you-?" I started.
"Yep I just guessed" she smiled "Our little girl has her first crush" I growled defensively and ignored their teasing for the rest of the ride.
I finished my homework and got ready for bed when a thought crossed my mind. Did Spyro like me back. I hoped he did, I liked him a lot, and I wouldn't mind dating him. But what would Ember think if I started dating her crush? I let myself ponder the situation as I went to bed. I dreamt of Spyro again, and all of his good qualities. I liked everything about him, especially his smile.
I went to visit Spyro right after school the next day, I took the bus and walked ten minutes to the hospital. When I arrived at Spyro's room there was a tall cerulean dragon stood there talking to him. I walked up to his bed and cleared my throat. The blue dragon and Spyro looked at me. The blue dragon looked at me with confusion but Spyro smiled when he saw me.
"Hey Cynder I was just talking to my mom here" Spyro said gesturing to the bigger dragon.
"Oh hello" she said to me "Are you Spyro's girlfriend?" Spyro spluttered and I blushed.
"I'll take that as a no" she said "But I'm quite surprised he hasn't tried to seduce you yet, you are quite a fetching young dragon" I blushed even deeper at this comment and I looked away.
"Mom stop teasing Cynder!" Spyro yelled.
"Oh Cynder is it, well it's a pleasure to meet you, my name's Silvia" she said.
"Nice to meet you" Cynder said.
"I'll leave you two alone together for now" she said smiling at me, then turned to Spyro "No making out" Spyro put his hands up in mock surrender. Silvia walked out of the room and I smiled at Spyro. I was about to sit down on the chair when he patted the space on the bed next to him. I looked at him worriedly and looked at his paw.
"Don't worry there's plenty of room here, come on hop on" he said, giving me one of his smiles. I shrugged and jumped on the bed next to him. I lay down next to him and we started to talk. We talked about school and homework. Then we talked about our parents and families, I found out that Spyro and Malefore were supposedly the only purple dragons in the world. Eventually I began to feel sleepy and I rested my head against Spyro's shoulder and before I knew it I fell asleep.
When I woke up it was dark outside the window. My eyes shot open and I checked the clock and saw it was nearly two in the morning. I looked around and saw my parents staring at me.
"Umm" I began. They just smiled at me and gestured to Spyro. I looked and saw that I had been laying against his chest. I blushed madly and he began to stir. He woke up and he smiled at me.
"Hey Cynder, you still here, what time is it?" Spyro asked. My parents answered the question for him.
"It's about two in the morning" my mom said. Spyro looked at them and then back at me.
"Look I'm sorry, we didn't mean to fall asleep really, we didn't" Spyro explained.
"Look it's fine Spyro, we don't mind really" my dad said. Suddenly my mom's phone went off and it began to play it's ring tone.
"Huh, Moves Like Jagger, I like that song" Spyro said. He whistled the tune and sang a few lines. When he noticed everyone staring at him he stopped.
"What?" he asked.
"You have an amazing voice" my mom said. Spyro chuckled and scratched his neck.
"Thanks" he said.
"Come on Cynder you can see Spyro tomorrow, now it's time to go home" my dad said. I nodded and got off Spyro's bed. I suddenly felt brave and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. I blushed and ran away from him, and when we were outside the hospital my mom turned to me and smiled.
"Did I just see you give him a kiss?" she asked.
"Don't tell dad, please?" I begged. My mom winked at me and began to walk to the car.
"Don't worry I won't" she said.
We drove home down the same route until we saw the traffic start to build. We stopped and saw that there had been a crash. The police were gathering round with an ambulance to the left. The strange thing was, the driver looked a lot like Mr. Knight from school.
The next day school was hard, Mr. Knight was injured in a car crash the previous night and we had a substitute in. The day went by really slow for me, my thoughts kept drifting off to Spyro and I couldn't help thinking about him. When the day ended I rushed out of school and ran to the bus stop. But I stopped when I saw someone, it was a purple dragon in a red hoodie and denim jeans. I walked towards him and recognized him as Spyro. I ran towards and almost crashed into him, but at the last second he moved position and grabbed me with his tail when I ran past him. He pulled me to a stop and I looked him over, he looked quite handsome in his street clothes.
"What are you doing out of the hospital?" I asked him.
"They discharged me early, thanks to my rest I healed really quick" Spyro said "Well not healed, I still can't walk on my leg but I can still walk around with three legs though" I looked him in the face to try and see if he was lying. He kept a straight face so I decided to believe him. Just then Ember walked over to us and when she saw Spyro she gasped.
"Spyro is that you?" she asked.
"Yeah it's me" he said.
"What are you doing talking to Cynder?" she asked.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Well after she nearly killed you, I thought that you wouldn't want to hang out with her anymore" Ember said.
"No I don't blame her for that, it wasn't anyone's fault" Spyro said. Ember was obviously confused but she ignored it and began to walk away.
"See you later guys" she called over her shoulder. We said goodbye and we began to talk again. We talked until Malefore and his friends walked over.
"So you aren't dead, shame" Malefore muttered "Why are you hanging out with my girl?"
"I'm not your girl" Cynder growled.
"Sure you are, if you weren't then you would stop me from doing this" Malefore laughed as he whipped his tail up Cynder's skirt.
"Hey!" Spyro shouted, stepping between me and Malefore.
"Spyro don't" I warned. Spyro stamped on Malefore's tail and he swore loudly. Malefore swung at Spyro but he lifted his paw to block the attack, his damaged paw. A loud crack sounded through the air followed by Spyro's roar of pain. Malefore laughed and Spyro lunged at him, biting at his throat. Malefore and his lackeys managed to get a few hits on Spyro but Spyro broke bones, ripped skin and smashed teeth. Spyro stepped away from the fight, his right eye bleeding heavily and his right paw hanging loosely by his side.
"Now if I catch you even talking to her the wrong way I'll rip of your tiny dick and shove it up your ass!" Spyro roared, his voice sounding slightly demonic. Malefore and his friends ran from Spyro in terror and I walked round to face him. I gasped when I saw how bad a state he was in. I ran back inside to find the principle but he had left already. Spyro was waiting by the bus stop when I got back, not on the floor in pain, just calmly waiting for me.
"Spyro what's the matter with you!" I shouted "You could've been seriously hurt, you've snapped your bone I half again!" I had tears in my eyes now. Spyro walked over to me and started hugging me, his blood running off onto my uniform, but I didn't care. He called his dad on his mobile and asked if he could be taken to the hospital. Ignitus arrived ten minutes later and drove us to the hospital.
The doctors asked us what happened when Spyro and I were in A&E and he replied with 'I was in a fight'. The doctors rushed him into the hospital and told him to take his clothes off for an examination. He stripped down naked and blushed and turned away for his privacy. I heard him laugh at my embarrassment and then the doctors began to examine him. They confirmed three broken ribs, a fractured one and his paw had snapped in half again. I sighed as I sat down and waited for him to come out of surgery.
A/N: So here was the newest chapter to my high school story and I hope you enjoy (I repeat myself a lot don't I) Well here's the most important points of this chapter.
1. Cynder hates herself.
Well at the beginning Cynder blames herself for what happened to Spyro last chapter. I managed to get myself to write this in detail.
2. Spyro not blaming Cynder.
I tried to base Spyro's character on my own and if something like this happened to a girl I wanted to impress I wouldn't blame her.
3. The flirting.
Cynder is realizing her feelings for Spyro as she visits him in hospital. I don't know what they do when someone snapped their leg off so I made it up LOL.
4. The fight with Malefore.
Well that was there for some well needed action. It wasn't very descriptive but it was the best I could do in a story about school.
5. The stripping.
I felt like that needed to be in there for some much needed sexual tension between Spyro and Cynder. He He He.
R&R please.
Yours sincerely
