The dragon doesn't have time to do anything as a land on him shoving him to the ground. I thump down next to time but quickly get back up to me feet. The strange dragon rises too quickly looking me up and down as I stand protectively in front of Moon.
" Well, I see it's come to us instead." The dark dragon hisses. I don't speak but instead watch him carefully as he tries to move around me. " Now little hatchling, Why don't we get going, I know a special someone who would like to see you,"
" I'm Not going anywhere," I snap back.
" Oh is that so? And how do you manage to accomplish that hmm? Your parents couldnt even save themselves, so what makes you think you can? They were weak, and so are you. Your race is over exaggerated. You're not powerful." He angrily growls the last few parts.
I feel my blood start to burn. I may not have known my parents, but they were not bad or weak! My race is not over exaggerated and I'll prove it if I have to! I am the last of my kind! I will show you weakness! And it won't be mine.
An odd feeling starts in my throat as my anger grows. The strange dragon gives me an odd look. A new instinct tells me to open my jaw. I do and ma slightly alarmed at the bright light that shoots out. It hits the dragon from across of me sending him sprawling backwards.
It takes me a few seconds to figure out that, that hot white ball that had shot out of my mouth was a large fire ball. If I were in a different situation I would have sat in awe of my creation, but I don't have time for that. Instead I attack the dazed dragon. I clamp my jaws on the back of his neck biting hard. A loud yell of agony erupted from him before he flips over rolling on top of me causing me to let go.
When he gets back up to his feet he quickly pins my shoulders and wings back before deeply growling with slitted eyes. I glance over at Firebird after hearing him growl. He has gotten the dragon off of him and was now one on one battle with the muddy colored dragon. Hookedclaw was still knocked out on the ground, moon by her father. I turn back to the dragon pinning me.
" I'm going to cause you pain for that," he snarls. I gulp nervously.
I can't move, he is way to big for me to shove off, he's bigger than even lightflame.
His curved claws suddenly break through my hide. I don't let myself make any noise but my breathing quickens. His claws are digging into the skin and scales on my shoulders under my wings. When I don't give him the reaction he wants he moves to my wing shoulder. " Maybe we need a more sensitive spot to teach you a lesson hm?" He rips his claws in a downward motion tearing through the softer scales. I squeak comes from me but I quickly stop it and squeeze my eyes shut trying to block out the pain.
Don't be weak, you can never be weak. Show no emotion, hide your pain. I chant the familiar words, something I've lived by after being found and raised by Galla. If there is no pain, there is no weakness.
His claws rip out of my scales and I can't stop a scream of pain. " Are you dead on the inside? Why do you not cry out hatchling! Show me how weak you are!"
Don't be weak, you can never be weak. Show no emotion, hide your pain. If there is no pain, there is no weakness. An image of my father and mother gazing down at me with happy eyes floods my vision. One of me first sights. You're the reason they're dead! You will pay!
But you are weak, to physically weak to kill him. You are too small. One of the evil voices whisper in my head. The one always pulling me down.
But when I'm an adult, I can make him pay.
I feel a cold claw touch my wings membrane. " I will make you cry, cry out for mercy,"
The claws start to dig into my wing.
Hide your pain! I scream at myself.
You'll never fly again. The demon whispers.
No! I will! I have to!
I force my eyes open and stare up at the evil eyes of my attacker. An evil smile form on his face. " Your pain if obvious in your eyes. You ready to cry hatchling?"
" no," I manage to weakly say, blackness threatening to take over the world.
Suddenly the dark dragon is gone, and there is a new deep pain in my neck. I look over slowly towards muddy brown dragon who was slumped under my father's black talons. His Golden eyes meet mine and a warm feeling floods my body pushi gaway he searing pain. I look back up and see My mother standing above me.
" Mother?" I croak. A panic worry is clear in her eyes as she stares down at me,
" You're going to be okay Darkflame. You're going to me okay," Her sweat, but worried voice echos through my head as the black ness takes over my body along with a sickening cold.
