Shadows and Peace Book 1: A Wings of Fire Fanfiction

Chapter 11 The Dream

Something strange happened. Cherry's head whirled past many different dreams and places, then settled on one of another cave, decorated with dazzling jewels. Amidst a pile of golden pitchers and diamonds, plackpearl was curled on a silk tapestry.

Blackpearl looked up at Cherry. "There you are! I thought you would fall asleep later. Guess you stopped looking for Boriel and me pretty soon."

"Yeti and Shard died and are ghosts! Or...something." Cherry answered. "It was weird. I came back to the cave because I didn't want to die. ...Why are you dancing around a giant red panda?"

"What?" Blackpearl asked, "Nevermind. I found the old Queen Glory's dream visitor! Help! We were kidnapped by a dragon that looks like you! He told us that he wanted to wait for you before doing anything big and amusing! You have to escape! You can save yourself!"

"What?" Cherry scoffed, "And leave you and the others? Where are you?"

"I don't know. We are reckless! We got captured just like the other dragonets. What if we are forced to fight like they did?" Blackpearl looked more helpless than Cherry had ever seen her. Cherry had to do something. (This is wayyyy too much like book 1 of the actual series. Sorry)

"Don't worry. I'm coming." With that, Cherry woke up.

I don't know how to find them. Think, Cherry! What would Amber do? Hmm. She would probably not care about us. Shard and Yeti would go get help...Blackpearl would go to the scrolls. Boriel would...do something. But what would I do?

She picked up a scroll about Queen Glory. Time to think like a Rainwing.

Cherry soon found herself walking through the forest. "Um...lalala! I am just a poor little dragon." She called. "Yeti? Blackpearl, Boriel, Shard and Amber? Anyone there?" I thought they would have taken me by now! Glory was caught almost immediately when she used this tactic.

"Uhh.....I am all alone and need your help, my friends!" Come and get me, you morons!!! She screamed in her head.

WHACK! A violent bust of pain made Cherry stumble. She twisted around and saw a dragon wearing a look of hatred and holding a stick.

Why did I do this again? Was Cherry's last thought as she stumbled into darkness.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When she awoke to see all the other dragonets frowning at her.

"What?!" Cherry said angrily. She did not like all the staring.

"Didn't we tell you not to get caught?" Blackpearl said angrily, abandoning her usually shyness.

Cherry scowled. "I got caught because we work best when we are together! And how else was I supposed to find you?"

"Maybe by ESCAPING and then coming back for us!" Boriel said.

Amber stood up and walked to the door of their prison. Banging on it with her claw, she yelled, "Let us out you morons! We are the dragonets of prophecy!"

"That's never going to work," Blackpearl said.

A voice said from the other side of the door, "Someone in there is also the sister of Oak!"

"You mean the famous RainWing writer?"

"No, this is Oak JR. the famous Rainwing ROUGE! Not a sissy writer."

Blackpearl glared daggers at the door and muttered something about Oak JR being a sissy and scrolls.

"I never heard of Oak Jr." Amber said.

All the other dragonets nodded in agreement.

A new angry voice yelled, "You're about to meet him!"

The door flew open and a Rainwing hybrid marched over to Amber. "So you've never heard of me? Someday the whole world will fear me! My parents will be my servants! My dungeons will be filled with prisoners!" He laughed maniacally.

Boriel leaned over to Blackpearl. "Umm, Is this guy okay? He's a little high strung..."

Blackpearl giggled. AGAIN! Since when does she giggle!?

"AAARGH!" Oak JR. clearly didn't have any fire powers, but it looked like steam could come out his ears and nose any minute. "You will be killed the minute I am King! Except for you," he said, turning to Cherry. "You will be tortured for the rest of your life! You parrot dung!"

"Hey," Shard said, "What did Cherry ever do to you?"

"BESIDES EXISTING? BESIDES BEING BETTER THAN ME AT AGE 1? She didn't even have to be around, to have a personality, or a LIFE to be more loved by our parents!" Oak JR looked slightly insane.

"Woah," Cherry gasped. "Our parents? Do you mean...?"

"No way." Amber's scowl turned to a look of shock. "But you're nice and he's...crazy!"

Oak JR angrily muttered towards Amber, and then, with a flourish of his head, gracefully arched his neck so he was staring down at Cherry. He glared at her. "Hello, sister."
