Wow, the amount of support you guys are giving this series is amazing! I cannot believe this! Thank you all...so...much. So, a guest won the challenge, just the only person named Guest. So let me know what character or OC you want me to include! Good job guessing Hopes and Dreams correctly! Bye the way, let me repeat, the only way to get an OC in a chapter is if you win a challenge, not by asking for it. Sorry to anyone who did or will try by doing that. Next two updates are on Crashing Waves, another story. Please check that one out, too!
Point of view for this story is…Kinkajou!
It's Opposite Day, so I can safely say that I own Wings of Fire! (I really don't, don't rant on me because of a joke please)
Wait, what?" Kinkajou yelped. Qibli had crashed into the girls dormitory building yelling that he wanted to see Kinkajou, Moon, and Carnelian, bringing Turtle and Umber with him, they all looked worried.
"Winter hasn't come back from the parking lot yet!" Qibli yelled frantically, "I doubt he got lost for an hour, something's happened!"
"Hold on, have you tried calling him?" Moon asked, with a concerned look on her face, as if she understood everything Qibli was going through that minute.
"Of course I've tried calling him, he picked up, and all I could hear was blackness and little bit of muffled talking, I think he's been kidnapped or something!"
"Qibli, calm down." Kinkajou said, trying to sound reassuring, but it seemed to only make Qibli angry.
"Calm down? How the heck am I supposed to do that?" Qibli screeched, no doubt waking up everyone in the building, "My best friend's in danger and he might even be killed!"
Kinkajou was a little affected when Qibli mentioned 'best friend.' once, she had hid for about three weeks to see if others really cared about her. Camping up in the mountains near her home, she never noticed a single person look for her. Eventually, a nice girl named Glory found her, and angrily stated that no one went to look for her. Immediately Kinkajou took a liking to Glory, and the two became friends. On getting back, she went to talk to her best friend, Coconut, to see if he was worried sick.
He hadn't even noticed she was gone for three weeks.
"Qibli, we're gonna help you find Winter, no matter what." Kinkajou stated.
"Yeah, we are." agreed everyone else, including Carnelian. Qibli took a few deep breaths to calm him down, and then asked,
"Moon, do you think that you can track Winter's phone?"
"That depends, what model is it?" she replied.
"Um, I think it's a Ice-phone seven." Qibli answered.
"That one should work just fine."
They all went to Moon, Kinkajou, and Carnelian's dorm, and Moon whipped out her laptop, and started up a program. She was able to locate it, and it was moving, fast, as if it was in a speeding car.
"Uh oh." she muttered.
"What?" Qibli asked frantically.
"Qibli, I think that you're either right, or horribly wrong." Moon replied nervously.
"Oh no, he's been kidnapped? For what reason?" Qibli yelled.
Almost as if on cue, Qibli's phone started ringing with Winter's name as the contact. It rang for a few seconds, until Kinkajou cautiously walked over and picked it up. Opening a video chat, Kinkajou saw a face that she'd never seen before, pressed up against the screen, he moved back, and Kinkajou saw someone, dressed in all black leather, and holding...a baseball bat. He stepped back further, and she saw Winter standing with his ankles strapped to the ground, and his hands strapped to the ceiling, unconscious.
She didn't even have to look to tell that her mood ring was flashing red.
"Hello, idiots." the man said in a deep voice.
"D-d-dad?" Moon asked with a hint of fear in her voice, suggesting that she really didn't like who was apparently her father.
"Hello, Moonwatcher…" the man said mockingly, "Look! It's me, your dad."
Morrowseer stepped back to reveal two other people, one in blue, and one in orange. The first female, and the second male.
"Orca!" Turtle yelled suddenly, "what are you doing?"
The girl in blue and green smiled creepily up at them
"Oh Turtle, don't you know? I'm not the sister you knew anymore, why do you think our mother kicked me out?"
The man in orange laughed, and said, "It's a good thing none of the, know me, I don't want my name revealed."
Even though she could tell he didn't want her to, Kinkajou said to Chameleon, "Chameleon? What are you doing with them? Why do you look like you live in the mountains?"
Chameleon looked at the screen with a glare that satisfied Kinkajou for some reason, "Oh, right, some people still remember me."
Qibli yelled at the screen in front of them, "Enough introductions! What are you doing with Winter!"
Morrowseer smirked at the six watching him, and said simply, "I know about you, Moon, I know what you can do, and someone wants that power. You can choose to reveal it to your friends, or you can choose to come quietly. I'm not going to spare your friend if you don't."
Everyone looked at Moon, and she looked terrified, Kinkajou dismissed it for now.
"You're lying," Kinkajou said to the screen, "Why would you want to trade off your daughter?"
"Foolish girl," Morrowseer snarled, "she isn't my daughter, she's nothing to me."
Looking over at Moon, Kinkajou could tell that even though she didn't look it, she was hurt by those words.
"Well, want to see why you should hurry over here, Moonwatcher?" asked Chameleon, "Because the entire time you stay safe, you friend's life become more and more endangered."
Chameleon finished his sentence by grabbing his own bat and smacking Winter in the stomach with it. He regained consciousness and recoiled as much as his trap would allow, screaming through his gag.
Kinkajou turned away, unable to look at the horror in front of her.
"Want some more reason?" Chameleon asked. He ripped off Winter's gag and hit him in the stomach again, this time Winter's screams ripped through the room, bloodcurdling, terrifying, loud screams. Chameleon kept hitting Winter in soft spots, everyone watching horrified.
"Stop! Please! Stop it! Stop! Stop! Stop!" Moon screamed, as if it was the last willing thing she'd ever say, "I'll come to you, just please, stop."
"Better hurry." Morrowseer said. Then the screen went black, and everyone was silently staring at Moon.
"What did he mean." Qibli asked, still shocked by what he'd just seen.
"I…" Moon said uncertainly, "I can r-r-read m-minds."
Everyone went dead silent, Kinkajou was uncertain whether or not to believe her. So she thought as loud as she could,
"Say coconuts are better milk than apples."
"Coconuts are better milk than apples." Moon said.
"Umm, Moon, do you need a doctor?" Umber asked.
"No, Kinkajou didn't believe me, and none of you do either, but I am going to go through with this, Turtle, and I'm going to make sure that Winter leaves before I go in, Qibli. This will work."
"No, Moon, you're not doing that." Qibli said.
Flashes of the sounds of Winter screaming ripped through Kinkajou's mind, and Moon was no doubt getting that six times over.
"No, I have to do this." she said, putting on a resolute face.
Grabbing her laptop, and stealing Qibli's keys, Moon ran out the door before any of them could do anything. They all raced after her, following her to the parking lot, not saying anything, but thinking protests furiously.
Moon jumped in Qibli's car, and pushed on the gas before any of them were even to the car. Speeding off into the distance, Kinkajou thought one last thing, and hoped that Moon heard it,
"Come back to us, please…you can do this."
Wow, sorry that one was so short. I just don't really like transitioning from two different points of view in one chapter. I can't believe what I just wrote down, I'm the writer and I'm already hyped for the next chapter. Leave a review! Tell me what you think! And again, the guest that guessed correctly, what character do you want to see? Oh, and I'm changing the rating from K to K plus, thought it would be right. Have any ideas for a story? Give them to me, and I might just make it! See ya after I get around to publishing my next to chapters on Crashing Waves. Sorry I have to make you wait so long!
