Hi everyone! So, this chapter is dedicated to Zero. Zero, your reviews have inspired and encouraged me. I really appreciate your support. Please continue to read and review! Thanks.
Saphina- yes. Scarlet is nothing but an evil torturing machine. I agree completely.
Guest- OK, um, not sure if Guest is your username or if that just means you don't have an account, but thanks
Kitty- your book sounds pretty freaking awesome! But, um, you're starting to scare me. Have you tried not being violent? OK, never mind. I'm violent too. I bite and scratch and file my nails to points when annoyed. No joke.
Zero- THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! You are officially my favorite reader.
Ebony-The-Dragon: You are the first person, sorry, dragon, to follow me. I love you so much! Please review! It would make my day.
FanFictionConnection- yeah. I like cliff hangers too. Also, you are my second follower. You are awesome.
Well, here's chapter 4:
Starflight was trying not to freak out. He couldn't see Tsunami, being blind and all, but he could tell she wasn't doing so well. Her breathing was labored, and the stench of blood and burnt scales filled the air. If there was going to be a test later on how to stay calm in an emergency, he was going to fail. Which was crazy, because Starflight usually dominated tests.
Unable to do anything else, Starflight drifted into a fitful and dreamless sleep. He woke with a start to the sound of a key turning in the lock, and that familiar cold laughter. Backing into a corner, he tried to blend with the shadows. He heard a rustling sound, and reaching forward, he found that Clay had spread his wings in front of him protectively. "Your efforts are adorable, MudWing. They really are. But I suggest you step aside, or I'll do more than just hurt him. Is that what you want?"
Clay let out a mournful keening sound, and suddenly, Starflight felt exposed, and he knew Clay had moved away. "I don't need guards for this one. I'll take him myself. Come along, Little Shadow," Scarlet purred. "We'll have so much fun. Don't you agree?" Starflight whimpered. He dug his claws into the stone floor as the SkyWing pulled on his leash. Chain. Whatever. Anyway, Scarlet pulled so hard she nearly strangled him. With a muffled choking noise, Starflight was yanked forward.
One of the dragonets growled, and judging by the scrabbling noise and loud thud, accompanied by a splash, Tsunami had tried and failed to stand up. Starflight smiled reassuringly in what he thought was in Tsunami's direction. He was pushed and pulled along, Scarlet rambling about all the things she was going to do to him. Abruptly, he was pulled to a stop. He heard a door being pulled open, and was unceremoniously shoved inside.
Tripping over the threshold, Starflight landed in a heap at the center of a cold room. Without a word, Scarlet dragged him across the floor. His collar was bolted to the rough stone, and his muzzle was removed. "If you're gonna kill me, get it over with." Before the NightWing island, Starflight's voice would have shook, and he'd be cowering in fear. Now though, he was braver, and would battle an army singletaloned to save his friends. Which meant there was no way he was going to betray Glory.
"Oh. I'm not going to kill you. Or at least, not yet. We're going to have a little fun first.
Bwa ha ha! Yeah, I know. I'm totally evil. Kitty, please don't kill me for leaving you guys hanging. I'll try to update soon.
