Day 26: Wings

Ya'll know I have to-

Steve Isles AU!

I gasped as my wings burst out of the water, carrying me into the sky.

Did I escape-?

I didn't look behind myself as I heard the wingbeat of a dragon much bigger than me.

I beat my wings faster as I stole a glance behind me.

The scarlet red Deadly Nadder was gaining on me.

Crap, crap, CRAP-

I shot into a little crevasse in a nearby mountain, and it screeched in anger as it clawed the entrance.

 My heart was beating as quickly as a mouse's as I crawled along, tucking my wings closer to myself.

That's... Vetto's dragon... I need to get out of here-

I heard the scrape of armor against stone, and a hand grabbed my wing.

SKR-

I flail against Vetto's grip, but he yanks me out and holds my maw closed.

"Found you!"

A flash of bright green wings assault him, and he drops me, cursing.

"Thera!" I flapped my wings, but pain shot up the one Vetto grabbed.

It's broken.

"I got the pipsqueaker!" 

I land between the wings of a Hideous Zippleback.

Rin?

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! HIS DRAGON IS CHASING ME!"

Poison & Ivy flap their wings as Rin, terrified, holds onto Ivy's neck.

I hold onto their back, but the Nadder is fast.

I wait until it gets close then...

I give it a mouthful of poison.

It chokes and falters as I feel a pang of remorse.

I don't like using my poison against other dragons.

"Good job Pip squeaker!"

"It's Florera, Scaredy Cat!"

Thera glides next to us, laughing at our little argument.

"I threw the dragon hunter into the ocean by his dragon. I hope he learns his lesson for once... What even happened to him...?"

I shook my head. "Not even Kyain knows. He just hates us. Rin got eaten alive by a dragon, so he has a reason to be scared, but Vetto..."

"He just hates. I wish I could just talk to him." Thera sighed as he beat his wings. 
"Once we get back to the village, lets patch up that wing."

"Yeah..."
