Wings of Fire- Frost Biting (BOOK ONE)

Chapter Four

Frost fought with all her might as they plummeted toward the ground. She ended up clawing the side of his face as he tore at her hind leg.

She could hear a hissing sound as his chest ignited with flame, one weapon she had to save for something more important. As the flame came out, Frost twisted away. She thought he'd missed, but pain flared across her wing. She couldn't fly anymore, now it was just her falling. She watched the dark figure fly above her, he suddenly twisted into a spiral and caught her by the arms.

'He's saving me?' Frost thought bewildered.

She noticed he was having trouble keeping her up so she flapped her good wing. It seemed to help, they were soon on the ground panting as they stood up.

Frost was finally able to get a good look at her attacker. He was not a IceWing, but he was a NightWing, SkyWing, and a SandWing? A Tribreed like her? She sorta felt bad for clawing the side of his face, he was really handsome when you took away the blood. He was a dark maroon- no wonder he could hide in shadows, with a white underbelly and scarlet details. His eyes were a beautiful, obsidian black that starred intently into hers and he had a poisonous barb on the end of his tail.

'Lucky he didn't hit me with that!' Frostbite was grateful.

Finally, she noticed she could not hear his thoughts. The voice that was supposed to be there was not, that was odd.

"Sorry, Are you okay?" He asked, gesturing towards my charred black wing.

"OKAY?" She barked at him, "Your the one who did this in the first place, on purpose! Why are you saying sorry?"

"Umm..." His eyes slightly held a humorous gaze, "you were the one who attacked me!"

"You were going to attack my friend!"

"How do you know I was not going to yawn, which I was going to do. And did I mention you have amazing eyes?"

"I don't know, a dark and creepy figure opening his mouth, not suspicious at all. And don't try to charm me!"

"I can't help but have dark scales- I am part NightWing!"

"Oh ya? Explain why you attacked Inferno in his room!"

'Three moons,' Frostbite thought as she let the truth slip out.

"How did you know that?" He skeptically asked.

"Qibli- the SandWing told me," She lied.

His expression told her everything, he knew she was lying.

"You can read minds, can't you?" He started circling her with a wry grin.

"No!" She blurted, which was a futile answer to this clever assassin.

"Yes." He stopped moving, "don't lie to me Firebrand, your secrets are safe with me. I'm a mind reader, and prophet, myself."

'Firebrand?' She thought, the name strangly didn't bother her, although it was a very strange name for an IceWing.

"Wait," Frostbite looked up at him with new hope, "your like me?"

It was like a fire lit between him and her for a moment. The fire was put out as Tsunami and the winglet landed beside them.

"Frost!" Kinkajou rushed toward her and gently grabbed her wing, "what did he do to you?"

"It's okay," Frostbite pulled away, "this was all a big misunderstanding. He actually was just yawning, and he only landed behind you for a rest."

'Thank you, Frost.' A voice as clear as a bell rung in her head. 'Just so you know, I'm Darkflame. I can't read your mind but I think we can mind-talk.'
