I stared at the door; my ass on the ground with who knows what in it. For some reason I expected them to open the door, but the only thing that changed was the sun transforming into the moon. I could hear all three of them screaming at one another, switching sides at one another, discussing on whether to let me back in or not. "Hey!" A voice hissed at me, and my neck threatened to snap because of how fast I turned in the direction of the voice, but there was nothing there. I scanned the dark trees, even though I knew no matter how hard I looked I wouldn't see anything anyways - it was too dark.
"Well, are you just going to stand there or are you going to come here?" There it was again, but the voice still scared me just as much as the first time. I lost my train of thought, I didn't know what to do, what to say, or where to go; so I just sat there - frozen. "My goodness girl, are you deaf? You're going to get yourself killed." The voice was annoyed, and he sounded somewhat frightened. "Ooh, Synx just go get her, before someone else takes her." There was another voice, a squeakier voice, which didn't calm me at all. I found myself looking back at through the window, but the bickering had stopped, and the light were out; they had decided to let me stay out here for the night. Tears began to stream down my face. Stepmother or not, they were still my mothers, and they had to take care of me.
"Awww, look she's crying." They squeaky voice was now directly behind me, almost ear level. I screamed and turned around - clumsily thrashing my feet, to crawl away from them backwards. "I can see that, and look now you scared her." That was from the voice that first started talking to me. I didn't really understand at first, but they looked to be tiny dragons. One was purple and black, the other black and purple. I've never seen anything like the creatures that were in front of me, but I had a clear idea of which voice belonged to which body. "What are you?" I didn't mean it, but there was a hint of disgust in my tone of voice. "What am I? who in the hell says that? when you first meet some random dude do you just go and say, what are you!" I leaned back as he came closer, he stopped after his was no longer in rang of me, the other one was holding his tale, like it was a normal thing.
"I'm sorry?" The black and purple one sat down with his legs and arms crossed, as the other one got up to where he was. "My name is Sydney, and this is my brother Synx. We are a dragons if you couldn't tell, wear just . . . um . . . travel sized." She tried to give me a friendly smile, but it wasn't very comforting to see each and every blade that she called teeth in her mouth - each one covered in; for my sake I'm going to say a lot of cherry juice. She put out her four fingered claws for me to shake. I put out my hand, but it shook vigorously in fear. "I'm Aurora." It sounds like something easy to say, but my voice cracked and squealed as I spoke out those words.
"We know." They both said at the same time, I guess my step-mothers were louder than I thought. "What are you doing out here, are you suicidal or something, what the hell is wrong with you." Synx hissed at me again, I was starting to believe that he was more like a snake that happened to have legs, arms and wings. Sydney began to nod in agreement to her brother. "Yes, do you know who roams at night? If your not inside, then you're going to get killed, or worse . . . live your life as if you were dead." I had no idea what they were talking about. I've heard nothing of such danger, and as strict as my step-mother were I didn't think they hated me that much.
The wind began to fly from every direction possible. "Come, come, come. we must go now." Sydney was yelling at me, but only loud enough for me to hear her tone. Both Synx and Sydney dragged me through the woods - for small dragons, they had a lot of strength. We didn't run far, until I noticed that there were no more trees, and the ground looked like it had stopped, but I was praying that the dark was just pulling my leg. Before I could say anything, There was no longer soil underneath my feet, nothing was under my feet, but air. And both Sydney and Synx transformed into their true size and spread there wings which shot us back, and then they both shrunk back to size, and all three of us landed in a cave that was a part of the cliff.
I tumbled, and once again found myself sitting on the ground with both dragons in front of me. They closed the wooden door and turned around to look at me. "So you have nowhere to stay, so you're welcome to stay with us." Sydney smiled, this time with her mouth shut, and waited for my response. "Oh no, I couldn't." I wanted to be polite, but what I said was just plain stupid. I needed a place to stay. "Nonsense, you need a place to stay, we can teach you how to survive the woods, both day and night-" Synx crawled up my back and onto my shoulder. "- and then if you really want to go, we'll be ok with it, because we'll know that you can survive; deal?" I opened and closed my mouth, not really knowing how to respond to his proposal. "Great she said yes!" he then jumped of, and I began to breathe again.
"What were you talking about, the think that roams the night?" I wanted to know, curiosity got the best of me. They both looked at me, and then to each other. "You two will meet soon enough, we all get to encounter with one another sooner than later." Synx spoke as if there was a bad memory behind it. "Well I want to know who this thing is." I guess I was getting a bit more comfortable. "Be careful what you wish for." They both whispered to me, a chill ran down my spin when they both spoke in such a tone. Synx blew out all of the lights, and we were all in darkness, until morning.
