Chapter 2

Sunrise shuddered, and she returned to her sunrise colored scales and wings. She shrank down to her size and placed a claw on his chest feeling for a pulse. Her claw trembled, but she wrenched her claw away from fading warmth of his chest. Finally, his expression was soft, and his hateful snark had faded. "Nightshade..." Sunrise looked down at her claws shocked at what she had done but felt no true remorse, only shock in her talons. She shook slightly but flicked her bloody tail and peered through the crack of her long-lasting prison. She touched her wing tip to Nightshade as a final goodbye, and hardened her eyes determinedly taking flight through the crack.
