Chapter 7

"Is it done yet?" a voice hissed.

"No. I'm not able to-" Desert stopped. She pricked her ears. She heard shallow breathing. Someone was listening! 

Desert spun around to see a magenta tail disappearing around a corner.

"Well? What?" the shadow hissed. "Nothing." Desert lied. "I don't have all day, Desert. It better be done by the end of this week.

***

Violet thought about what she had heard. What was Desert planning? And how in Pyrrhia can she talk to a shadow!? Was it dangerous? Was everyone in danger? Why had she been the one who overheard Desert? Couldn't it have been Moon, Qibli or any of the others? What could she, out of all the dragons do!?

"Hey, Violet! Watcha doing?" Amethyst bounded into the cave. "Uh, I was thinking about going to the art cave during free time." I fibbed. "Okay! Can I come?" Amethyst asks. "Sure." I answer.

On the way to the art cave I saw black eyes glaring at me. Desert! She knows! I immediately quickened my pace. "Hey! What's the rush?" Amethyst asked catching up. "Nothing!" I quickly answer. I hated lying to Amethyst, as she was my friend. But what would she do when she found out?

"Oh... Okay." Amethyst said looking at the ground. I felt horrible. What type of friend lies to her friends? 

"We're here!" I exclaim, trying to break the odd silence. Amethyst only nodded, lost in thought. I walk over to an easel and start painting. Amethyst did the same. I took a peek at what she was drawing.

"Wow!" I couldn't help exclaiming. Amethyst had used different shades of purple and black to create a night sky and had added little stars too. "It's beautiful!" I say. "Thanks." Amethyst said looking at the ground. "What did you paint?" She asks. "It's not worth seeing." I say. "Aww! Come on! Lemme see!" Amethyst said. "Oh all right." I say giving in. It was good to see Amethyst as herself again.

"What should we do now?" Amethyst asks bouncing around me and spraying water all over me. We had just come back from swimming in one of the underground pools to cool off. Surprisingly the water was very cold. 

"How about drying off?" I say looking down at the puddles we were making on the floor. "Before someone slips and falls or before any of the teachers get mad at us." I say. "Good point."

After we were dry I found myself walking towards the prey cave. When somebody gets in my way. I look up into the eyes of Desert.
