A/N: Alright so I really enjoy recreating famous love scenes or even for readjusting scenes from other movies to fit my need. So I shall do it again. Kind of. That last one by the way wasn't in modern times. Think the scene from Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney) where Frollo is trying to get Esmeralda to confess or whatever. Pretty much that scene with a dark ending.
Draco looked down at the creature lying at his feet. He couldn't believe that he had actually done it. The creature was quite subdued, for a moment he thought it might have been dead. But there was the slight shudder of breath every few seconds that made Draco think otherwise. This creature could really get him noticed now. Everything would change because of this. If this worked, he would be the hero of the town. No one else had ever... but that didn't matter. He actually had to kill the thing for it to matter.
He took out his knife and took a deep breath. This was it. This was the start of a new life. He started forward, determined on killing the creature. He breathed in again and got a grip on himself. He was about to strike the creature, cut it's throat open, when it opened its eyes and looked directly at him. Draco froze for a second, scared that it would be able to break through the rope binding it.
Draco just stood there, watching it as it watched him. It made no move to release itself from the bind, but instead watched Draco, it's eyes wide with fear. And Draco saw his own fear illuminated in the eyes of the creature. It was just as scared as him. How could he kill something like this? How could he kill something that could possibly be just as scared and determined to please as him? Draco closed his eyes and knew that he was going to do something stupid. He started forward and started cutting at the ropes that bound the creature. He could feel the eyes of the creature watching him, calculating how to get out of this without hurting itself further or alerting the townspeople to it's presence near the surface of the Earth.
As the rope came lose around it's wings, it tensed them waiting until the right moment to take flight. But a sound was heard from just barely behind Draco. Draco suddenly turned around, nervous that someone would come and try to kill the creature. He hurried, trying to get the beast free before it was too late. Finally the ropes were gone, allowing the creature to fly off into the distance and away from danger.
"Go on! You're free! Get out of here." Draco whispered pushing at the beast. It looked at him for a split second before pinning him to the ground and staring down at him. Draco waited, almost welcoming the fiery death he knew was just another hazard of what he was. But for a few moments nothing happened. then he heard the loud roar of the creature before it took off. He heard a cry as the beast leaped into the sky, and then fell gracelessly down to earth in a canyon not too far west of where Draco now lay on the ground.
He rushed away, hoping not to give the creature another chance to kill him. As he appeared in town, he saw kids his age look at him in disgust as he passed by. Not many people liked him. He wasn't the best at being what they were. He had other abilities, much to everyone's surprise he was actually quite a good aim. Of course no one else knew it, mainly cause no one else believed he could have downed... well never mind. In training his teachers had always said that creatures will take the kill. No matter the circumstances, they will always. ALWAYS. go for the kill.
Draco looked at the town, watched some people repair houses, a few kids training in the streets, and some older adults making new boats. The majority of the town had left for another little mission a few days ago. Including Draco's father. Draco had stayed behind because he wasn't the town's most able anything. Sure he had good aim, and he was good with making a few things like different weapons and such, but he wasn't good at fighting. At all. It was common knowledge that whenever there was an attack on the town by anything, all the hard work the rest of the town had put into defending against the town would be ruined by Draco's attempts. He had been confined years ago to the blacksmith's shop. Making and sharpening weapons. He was relatively good at it.
This place was always so boring. Nothing ever happened here. Maybe something would change. Maybe today's events would change everything. Maybe it wasn't a total mess up at all. Perhaps today was the start of something better.
As Draco passed through the town, he thought back to in the forest, when he had been spared.
If you guys always go for the kill why didn't you?
A/N: Alright. So review with what this scene is an adaptation of. :) The person who does will get kudos in the next chapter :)
