Zero-Thank you sooooooo much for the encouragement! This is so awesome. I've had 70 viewers so far and it's only my third day as a member of this website! Anyway, I've got a little bit of a writer's block, but I will try my best to make this chapter acceptable, if not better. As much as I may want to, I don't own WOF or any of the characters. Most of my updates will happen at night, as I am virtually nocturnal. I'm actually writing this chapter at 4:46 AM. I do work for the first half of the day though, since I only sleep for a few hours each day. Ok, I'll stop rambling now. Here's chapter three:
Clay was having nightmares. Sunny could tell by the way he twitched and muttered in his sleep. She wanted to wake him up, but then again, they all needed their rest if they were to survive what was to come. She made up her mind. Clay couldn't be getting much rest like that. If anything, it might just make him more tired. Gently shaking his shoulder, Sunny poked Clay with her snout. Clay woke with a start, yelling something incomprehensible through the iron muzzle binding his mouth.
The three sat in miserable silence, trying to block out Tsunami's screams from the other room. Sunny felt like she was going to start crying again. Suddenly, everything went quiet. Starflight sat up, pricking his ears. Then Sunny heard it too. Footsteps echoed down the hall, along with a clanking noise. The footsteps stopped outside the dragonets' cell, and Sunny heard the click of a key turning in the lock.
The door swung open, and there stood Scarlet, with blood on her talons and a sort of leash in her claws. Yanking on the chain, Scarlet pulled Tsunami forward. The SeaWing was covered with cuts and bruises, and there was blood everywhere. She looked half dead. As the guards were chaining Tsunami to the floor again, Scarlet said, "Well that was fun, wasn't it. Oh, don't worry, I'm not done with you yet, but tomorrow I think I'll play with someone else. How about you, NightWing?"
She put her clawtips under Starflight's chin, forcing the blind dragonet to face her. "Yes. I think you'll do nicely. We'll have so much fun together. I wonder if I can get any of you to tell me where that cursed RainWing is hiding." Starflight flinched. Clay, Sunny, Tsunami, and Starflight had been patrolling the outskirts of SkyWing territory when they had been attacked by Scarlet's soldiers. Sunny had been overpowered first. Starflight had had no way of fighting back, as he couldn't even see his opponents. Clay had been next, the burn in his leg making fighting difficult. Tsunami had been the last to go down, but the fight had been unfair. The dragonets were outnumbered five to one.
Only Glory hadn't been captured, since she was in the rainforest trying to rule both her tribes. There was no way Sunny was gonna betray her friend to this lunatic. "Until tomorrow, Little Shadow." Scarlet said sweetly. Tsunami stood glaring defiantly as the red dragon left, but as soon as she was gone, the blue dragon collapsed. Sunny was at her side in a heartbeat. She and Clay went over the SeaWing's injuries. Blood poured from several deep cuts, and many of her ribs were broken. Scales had been ripped off, and there were burns all over her body.
Sunny was most worried about a deep gash that ran along the rebellious dragon's side, from the base of her tail to her left foreleg. It looked infected, and black was starting to eat away at the edges. Poison. Tsunami's breath came in short, ragged gasps, and her sides heaved as she fought to breathe.
Sunny wished there was something, anything, she could do for the suffering dragonet. But there wasn't. All she could do was wait.
Ok, so I had a lot of fun writing this chapter. Not sure why, but I did. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it.
