I want to warn anyone reading this story that due to school starting I may not be writing as much as I used to, but give me time and I will update I don't plan on ditching this story ever. I will update when I can.
Also I am starting to revise, review, and correct the starting chapters because yes I did reread the chapter that I made almost two years ago and some of them have errors I can't ignore anymore, so I will be updating as I correct chapters
Dragon's point of view
It was already mid day and I could not for the life of me get out of this cove. I tried to climb, I tried to fly, but I just couldn't get out. I refused to give up though I already did that once I was not going to dishonor my family again. I was going to get out of here one way or another.
I leaped into the air one more time flapping my wings trying to fly just a little bit more to reach the rim and climb out. When I felt myself falling I tried to sink my claws into the stone and climb out, but the wall was to steep and all I did was leave a scratch on the wall. I let out a frustrated growl when I knew I was going to fall and expanded my wings to glide to the other end of the lake.
I tried to fly out one more time flapping my wings once more trying to raise myself higher in the air only to fall back on the ground this time on my side. I bite back my whine. Although dragons heal quickly hitting that tree did more damage than I thought now that I wasn't concerned with dying.
"One more time" I say to myself expanding my wings and leaping into the air. For a moment I thought I would actually make it, I was higher than I had been all day. However just like all the other times I came crashing back down. I shot a fireball into the ground angry at my failure. Before bowing my head thinking about just how pathetic I must look. Like a new hatchling trying to learn how to fly only to fail miserably.
I heard a splash coming from the water next to me and lift up my head to see fish in the pond. 'Well I might last longer in here than' I thought. I walk over to the pond watching the fish swim around before dunking my head in the cool water and snapping my teeth at the two fish. However the fish were faster and were able to escape my powerful jaw.
I was going to let out a whine of sadness when I heard something fall to the ground. I quickly look up to see something sitting on the top of a rock…it was that human girl from before. 'The one that did this to me' I thought angrily, but as I watched her just staring at me I found myself more curious than angry. I could only look at her wondering why she was here.
I observed her as she turned her head in question and I mimicked her movement to show that I was just as equally confused as she is about this situation. I was getting annoyed when all we did was stare at each other when she suddenly yelled out. "Wait right there I'm gonna find you something to eat." I watched as she jumped to her feet and left the cove.
I had two problems with that statement. One she just watched me struggling to get out of this cove and must have realized that I'm stuck so where am I suppose to go…that idiot. Second why would she feed me…I am not her responsibility, she should have just run off and forgotten about me or killed me.
'But than why is part of me happy that she didn't?' I thought, curling myself to the floor lowering my head to my paws. 'Hmm I wonder what she'll bring me,' I thought as I decided I would try to catch some fish.
At last I heard the shuffling of rocks and a small whine and intake of breath I knew that the human had return and although the human said she would be back I still held doubt that she would, but I was happy that she kept her word.
'Do not get attached to this human…remember that she did this to you, she is the reason that you need help in the first place,' but as I watched this girl climb down the wall something in her arms I couldn't feel any hostility towards her.
I didn't move when she reached the bottom of the wall and neither did she. As I watched her I saw her smiling again, but it wasn't like the same one when I pinned her down. This one showed happiness not depression and it seemed to actually be warm and meaningful.
She smiled larger and said "All we seemed to be able to do with each other is stare…are we that odd to each other." Her voice was light and she seemed to want to laugh, but all I could do was tilt my head at her. She thought this was funny…I could kill her at any moment, but yet she wasn't afraid.
"Sorry its just that nether of us know how to act with one another its kind of funny" she explains further the laughter still in her voice. I watched as she started walking to my left still keeping her eyes on me. 'So she's not scared of me, but she is still cautious of me' that made me feel somewhat better about this situation. After a while she moved up, but she was far enough a way that I didn't feel threatened.
I watched as she placed the bundle in her arms on the ground and was a little disappointed when I saw that it wasn't meat, but red berries. She placed them on the ground in a pile. After she was done she placed the fur vest back on her and walked back to the base of the wall she had climbed. "The berries are called Blood berries they are suppose to be really good when it comes to healing the sick or the hurt." She said out loud looking sheepish as she raised her hand to scratch her head, but she stopped. That's when I looked at her hand and noticed that it had numerous amounts of cuts on it. I looked at the other hand that was at her side it was also bleeding.
"Its also called Blood berries because you always bleed no matter what when you try to pick them. I know its not meat, but its all I can do for today." I made no reply, but its not like it matters she wouldn't understand me anyways. When I didn't move she sighed and started to climb the rock wall. I watched as she winced as the dirt came in contact with her open wounds. After she was all the way up near the entrance she waved goodbye and disappeared.
I could only stare after her. She would wave at a dragon and treat me like a…like a…human after I scared her and I knew I scared her when I pinned her down I could see it in her eyes. So what is wrong with that human?
I sat in the same spot that she had found me in swishing my tail back and fourth wondering why this situation isn't a typical situation. She should have killed me and that was that, or had she let me go I was suppose to kill her. That was life that was the cycle so why didn't we act the way we were suppose to. Why does she care what happens to me? Was she looking for me or did she find me by accident?
After a moment I walked over to the berries she had picked for me. The berries she had bleed for me. Yes she took my tail fin, but it was an accident and she seemed sincerely sorry and genuine about what she had done.
Yes I was sad that I could never fly again…I was depressed that I could never fly against the night sky or do loops in air feeling the cool air swoosh around me as I become one with the sky. The very thought depressed me, but this human has also taught me something. It takes very little to disturb the common cycle of life, I mean one little girl shot me out of the sky, but has shown me that not all humans are killers like other dragons say. I may not be able to fly, but I don't have to follow the queens ordered anymore…that lifted my spirit a bit.
I hovered over the berries, they seemed red and juicy and she claimed that they would help me. I leaned in closer and could smell her blood on these berries and saw a few drops of blood on the ground.
'That human went through all this pain to get me these,' I thought lifting one into my mouth. Hesitantly I swallowed. I waited a little bit to see if they were poisonous, but nothing happened so I ate another swallowing some before I was curious as to how they taste. So I grabbed a few berries with my tongue and chewed them.
The berries were sweet and juicy. However they had such a weird flavor, but they weren't so bad it was no meat or even fish, but they weren't bad. I started to chew the rest of the berries savoring the flavor and purred in happiness. 'It seems the human wasn't so bad' I thought, finishing the berries watching as the skies became dark and cloudy.
'Great its going to rain soon' I thought looking for a place to take cover, I could take cover under the tree, but it was mostly bare so that wouldn't work. I saw a small space between the rocks, but it was not small for me.
"If I can't find my own shelter, than its time to make some." I growled walking up to the wall that was closer to the tree on the other end of cove that had a perfect view of the human's entrance to this secret area. 'That way I could see her when she comes.' I thought widening my stance, before I gather a big enough fireball and shot it at the wall.
After a few fireballs, I was able to make a cave tall enough that I can stand on my hind legs, wide enough so I can almost spread my wings open, and it was deep enough that I could stretch out tail and all without fear of getting wet. The cave was huge for only a few fireballs and I finished it just in time.
I could smell the rain, it was almost here and when it came it was going to be bad. So I ducked into my cave shooting fire at the ground before stomping on it and curling up into a ball. I heard the thunder and a few seconds after the rain followed charging down. 'I hope that human got home before the storm started' I thought, watching the rain fall a bit before lowering my head and going to sleep lulled by the sound of rain.
