Watching Stars: The Journey

Prologue

"Stay still!" Hissed a voice. "The leader wants to know why you're here." A bright light shined into Kinkajou's eyes.

"Ugh..." She whimpered. "BECAUSE YOU CAPTURED USSMMMMMMMPPPHHH...." Kinkajou trailed off as they muzzled her again.

"Please! We need no harm! We are just passing through!" Moon pleaded. The dragon who had occupied the bright light grinned, teeth shining. "You mean harm when you have your own plans against us!" He hissed. Moon flinched. "The Queen doesn't want her plans ruined. And that's exactly what you're doing!" He shoved his face into Moon's and she shrank back. "I-I'm sorry..." She trailed off. "I don't know of your plans."

"Good! You don't need to know!" He hissed, then turned. "I want THIS one with me. As for the bright-colored one, I want her locked up in Cell Z2." He hissed. The dragons grabbed Kinkajou and dragged her away despite her threats and protests. "Kinkajou!" Moon yelled, going towards her, but was dragged back by the mysterious dragon. "You're coming with me." He growled, then stomped off with her. Moon went limp, for he was too strong. "Please." She whispered. the dragon barely looked at her, and then they disappeared into a dark room.

Moon awoke with a start. "Alright. I want you to explain why I'm here." Moon said firmly. The dragon cackled. "Oh, really?" He hissed. "I'm not telling you that." Moon sighed, and settled back down. He would never tell her. "Well at least tell me where I am!" She cried. He growled to silence her, and yanked on her chain. "QUIET." Moonwatcher quieted down, her legs forcing her to move. 'I don't know where I am! But maybe his brain can tell me...' Moon thought, then reached out with her mind reading powers to hopefully catch some good info, but all she got was darkness. 'Great...' She thought, growling a little as they tramped through a dark hallway. The dragon was definitely bigger than Qibli and Winter, around half the size of Darkstalker. 'This chamber must be huge to hold a dragon like him...' She noted it, and tried to reach out with her mind again. This time, she heard the clamor of voices as she came closer.
'HELP! HELP ME!'
'SAVE ME!'
'I DON'T WANNA BE HERE!'
Moonwatcher cried out, and crumpled to the ground. 'Raindrops...' She tried to think, but the voices were too desperate and loud.
