The Story of Us (Glorybringer's Dragonets)

Target: Starflight

Moon ran out of the prey center. Qibli caught up with her a little while later.

"She's going to kill the dragonets of destiny and Sora," Moon panted. "Let's find Sora and see why she did what she did."

They found Sora in the infirmary with the help of Umber. Sora told them that Icicle was Crane's murderer, and she couldn't stand the IceWing. "I didn't mean for anyone else to get hurt. I've never used a dragonflame cactus before." she looked down guiltily.

"Go, Sora, get out of here," Moon urged her.

"I'll go with her. I need to take care of my sister," Umber said. Then the two MudWing siblings flew out the window.

"Would she go for Clay first?" Moon asked as they ran from the infirmary.

"No, she'll want to get the easy ones first."

"Sunny?"

Qibli shook his head, "Sunny isn't that easy to kill."

Their eyes met as they came to a conclusion, "Starflight."

They ran full speed towards the library where they found Icicle silently creeping up on Starflight, like a polar bear, or a lion, stalking its prey.

"Starflight! Look out!" he whirled around just as Icicle attacked him. She slammed her tail into his side, catapulting him into the wall.

"Dad!" Cometsenser cried, rushing forward and kneeling down beside him. 

Moon joined her. Cometsenser turned to Moon in desperation and asked, "Is he okay?"

Moon could feel his mind slowly slipping into unconsciousness, and she put her talons where his pulse should be. It was faint, but it was there. Moon nodded and Cometsenser let out a sigh of relief.

Moon listened extra carefully to Icicle's mind. Come closer SandWing, just a few more steps, and you'll be in the range of my frostbreath, Icicle thought.

"Qibli!" Moon cried, diving at him and shoving him to the ground. The frostbreath hit the edges of one of her wings and she cried out in pain as the landed on the ground. Ice cold talons were immediately wrapped around her neck, cutting off her air and choking her.

"Icicle? What are you doing?" Winter and Cleverclaws appeared in the doorway.

"Let her go! She didn't kill him! She wasn't with the NightWings who killed the IceWings," Winter growled.

"Hailstorm is alive you idiot. But thanks to you, he's as good as dead!" Icicle snarled. "So, who's it going to be, Winter? Your brother and sister, your own blood, or this filthy NightWing?"

In response, Winter dove onto Icicle, shoving her off of Moon as Moon gasped for air. Qibli pounced on Icicle as she was disoriented.

Qibli let out a shout as he and Icicle grappled on the ground, his tail stabbing about, searching for her heart.

"This isn't over," Icicle snarled furiously, and then she dove through the window.
