Same as usual, leave a comment, check out my other stories. I do feel sad doing this, but it must be done.
Sunny POV:
I was knocked out for only a few seconds, though if felt like hours. I heard a lot of muffled voices, but they all sounded sad. I slowly opened my eyes, no one was around me, so it wasn't me they were sad over. I got up and looked around. The attackers were running. I felt my heart drop when I turned around. I looked to see everyone crowded around a nightwing. Starflight was frozen still, but breathing heavily. I walked to the nightwing on the ground. I looked at his face and gasped. Then I collapsed on his head and started crying. It was Stonemover, my dad. He was dead, thanks to Starflight. Why didn't I run when I had the chance. Now because I was stubborn, my father's dead. I layed there with everyone else crying over him. Mom was the one crying the most next to me. She noticed me and hugged me tight, still crying, but clearly happy I'm still alive. Then Starflight seemed to have come to his senses and shook his head. "What happened?" He came closer but I pushed him away angrily saying, well more like yelling, "Get away from us." He came closer again saying. "Sunny?" I only pushed him away again. "Get away from me and my family. I don't want to see you again!" I blew a small harmless puff of fire, but he got the picture and ran away. Then I realized what I'd done and tried to chase him. "Starflight wait." but it was too late, he was gone. I fell down again and cried more. This can't be happening. Then to make things worse, Blister came up with her guards and had them take us away. I let myself be taken, no fight left in me.
We where all in separate cells. It was me, Clay, Fatespeeker, mom, Glory, and Coral, who were the main prisoners. Even Soot was a prisoner. I'm glad Qibli escaped. He's safe at least. Then, for some reason, Starflight was in the cell with me. Maybe they thought I was too broken to be much of a problem if I was with someone else. That, and there was no more room. I just lied here, thinking, drowning in my sorrow. Starflight came over. "Sunny, I am so sorry. It's just whatever Drago did to me was just too much for me to handle. You know that it was him and not me." He tried to put a wing around me, but I batted it away. "I know it wasn't you. But just stop talking about it please." I squeaked. "Just know, I'm always here Sunny, and that even though you refused me, and Fatespeaker is my lover, but my heart will always have a small space for you." he said, sounding like his normal self again. "At least someone's back to normal." I said a little bitterly. He only sighed, which flooded my mind with images of Stonemover. "Can I please have some time to myself?" He did as I asked and backed away.
Narrator POV:
Sunny still sat there full of sadness, but for some reason, when Starflight had said those words, she felt something in her heart open up. Memories of her and Starflight together. All of them, from their first hatching day, to today. She felt something she had never felt before. It was love, but she already loved Starflight as a brother. But this love, was so much the same, yet so much different. She suddenly had a feeling that, she wanted Starflight to be close. Very close. Is this what Starflight felt about me? she wondered. She decided to sleep on it. Clay was around just as sad. He basically lost his uncle. He felt deeply sorry that Sunny had lost her father. Maybe if she never knew him, she might not have been as sad. I'd never known, and never will know my father. He thought to himself. Glory was knocked out during it all, but when she heard what had happened, she too was deeply sorry for Sunny. She was a constant flurry of sad blues and dull grays. She didn't care if her scales shown her emotion, she was too busy with her own thoughts to care. Soot sat in his cell thinking of the dream he had. It's slowly becoming reality. It's my fault I didn't help when I should've. Fatespeaker felt the same way as Sunny. She never noticed it before till now. Sunny had grown on her a lot, like she was her own sister. She cried only a little, but the tears still came. She felt horrible just sitting there and watching Starflight stalk Sunny and kill her father. Coral to be honest was also sad, but mostly afraid of what Drago did to Starflight. Could he did that to Tsunami? She felt bad that her daughter's sister's father died thanks to that moons forsaken scavenger. When I get out of here, I'll see that he and Blister get the most painful punishment I can think of. And some less cruel punishments for Scarlet, Glacier and Morrowseer. The mudwings for some reason though did nothing, they fled when we arrived, telling that they were out, so I can let them off the leash. Leash! Oh moons what will Anemone and Auklet think of this! Oh this is why we fled to the Deep Palace. So that we have no more losses. Coral kept on yammering on in her thoughts about the dead animus, her daughters and punishing Blister. Thorn however, was in the most pain next to Sunny. It's my fault. I let my mate die on my watch. I wasn't strong enough. I should have clawed that nightwing when I had the chance. But then again, he's Sunny's friend, no, brother. This Drago guy and Blister are so cruel. They have no heart, and feel nothing. I swear Sunny, I'll make them suffer for taking Stonemover away from us. But would Sunny want that? She believes in non-violence and peace. This is the exact opposite. Oh Stonemover my dear, if only you were still here. She then started to cry silently, and no one noticed. She collapsed on the floor and cried herself to sleep, and as did everyone else, but Coral went to sleep still thinking of ways to torture Blister. The only two that were left awake were Sunny and Starflight.
Starflight POV:
I still layed on the ground, trying to sleep, but I couldn't. Not while Sunny was still up. I told her that there is still a place for her in my life. I hope she didn't take it the wrong way. I looked over to her; she still lie there, thinking, crying, drowning. I figured I should comfort her some. I got up slowly and layed down beside her. I offered my wing again, and she didn't bat it away this time. I slowly wrapped it over her, and she seemed to have snuggled closer. "Starflight?" she whispered. "Yes Sunny?" She paused for a second then said, "I've been thinking, and when you said that you still have a space for me, those words seemed to open something." I leaned a little closer. "Which is?" She looked at the ground. "I can't seem to bring myself to say it, so I'll just do it." then, to my complete surprise, she pressed her snout to mine. Even though it wasn't Fatespeaker, it still felt so loving. She pulled away and looked at me with tearful eyes. "Ok, I see now." I was a little confused on what she said. "I know what you've felt for me when you told me you love me." she finished. She What? She understands what I felt for her! "That's great Sunny." I looked away though, in fear of how she'll react to what I'm going to say next. "But, just know, that you will always be in my heart ok. But, I'm afraid you're too late. I have Fatespeaker now. I know, I'm a jerk for being the one to reject you. You of all dragons. But that's exactly why I am. I'm not the perfect dragon for you Sunny. Go ahead, shout at me. Be mad at me, I deserve it. I killed your father anyway." I seriously regret saying that to her, but I agreed to be truthful. The look on her face saddened only a little. "I know, but it wasn't your fault. I'm not going to call you names or yell at you. And I except your rejection. But, can we at least make this moment last?" she said. I turned around, and gently shook my head yes. Then we both kissed again, filling it with more love than before. "Make it last." I repeated. So we sat there kissing for the rest of the night until we fell down asleep.
Tsunami POV:
"Can't believe we failed." I yelled knocking down whatever I could get my claws on. "Tsunami calm down!" Riptide said still calm for the moment. "I will when we get everyone back!" I said throwing a vase on the ground, but it only bounced back up. I caught it and tried to slam it again, same result. I did it for another four times till Riptide grabbed it and sat it back on its pedestal. "Tsunami please. You making me worried." He said. Then I couldn't control myself any more. I ran into his chest and sobbed. He put me in an embrace. "Shhh. It's ok. I'm here." he whispered. My tears slowed down, but they still came. "What are we going to do?" I asked. "For now. Let's get some rest. It's been a long day." he said calmly to me again. He led me out the door, but not without bumping the pedestal the vase was on, and it fell off. I expected it to bounce again, but no. It shattered, and I laughed. We later arrived at the hut I stayed in. "Good night Tsu." Riptide said about to leave. "Riptide wait." I said urgently. "Can you stay with me tonight?" He smiled and said. "I'd love to." I smiled and he laughed a little. "There's that big brave Tsunami." He came inside and we fell asleep side by side .
Deathbringer POV:
"I can't believe Glory was captured." I said gritting my teeth. "And to make it worse, I wasn't there to protect her when I basically devoted my life into doing so." I continued to stamp around the room. Well Glory's room. "I'm sorry, but I may have to make a few exceptions on the 'no killing' Glory." I said, even though Glory was no where near to hear it. I jumped onto her bed. I half expected her to kick me off, but common sense said she's not here. Then I felt a twinge in my heart. Sadness. I was filled with sadness. "Oh Glory, if only you knew how much I love you." I said to the bed frame. Then a single tear ran down my cheek. I closed my eyes. I opened them after a few minutes, and they were like daggers. "I swear to the moons I'll do what ever it takes to protect you Glory. Even if it means loosing my life." I flew to my hut, grabbed my things. I was about to leave, but I had forgotten my bag of bladed discs in Glory's room. I flew back and went in. Again, I half expected for Glory to yell at me, but no one was here. I got my bag, but it felt heavier than normal. I looked in to see and envelope. I took it out and it read: To Deathbringer, the ex-assassin. I opened it to find a note.
Dear Deathbringer,
It's been only a few days, but I'm afraid. Afraid that I may never tell you something I've been keeping secret, even to myself. I can't bring myself to tell you in person, so I wrote this for you. I want to say, I love you Deathbringer. And I want no one else to be with but you. I hope you except, smug-face.
Glory the rainwing.
I sat there for a minute. Two, five. I finally found the strength to move myself, but I didn't go far. I went to Glory's bedroom, and plopped down on the bed. "She loves me back." I whispered. "Now I'm in even more need to get her out of there." I fell asleep on the bed, imagining and hoping this was a dream, and Glory was with me. Tomorrow, I will get her out of there. With, or without the others help.
I almost cried writing this, and I'm a guy. Well, I hope not too may tears where shed. Look out for more chapters in the future. Leave a comment, and yes, Deathbringer will get his revenge. Also, I made Star say no because I'm Starspeaker fan, but I put in that Sunnyflight for you guys to show that I do reserve some love for the ship. Also check out my other stories. Good night ya'll.
