Cricket left the Healing centre where Sundew was currently resting.
Her wounds had been attended to by a kind healer named Sunflower who offered to help despite the late hour.

Sundew had told her to round up the others and head for Jade Mountain as soon as possible, even if it meant leaving her stuck here in the rainforest incapacitated.

Of course, she didn't want to do that, but there wasn't much Cricket could do to convivce her Leafwing friend otherwise.
As such, she left the Healing centre and gave a promise to ensure the others left the rainforest tonight.

Cricket flew through the night, her talons were still muddy and she looked like she hadn't slept in days. Yet, she soon arrived at the doorstep of the hut.

A part of her thought about knocking, but the choice was made for her when the door suddenly swung open, revealing a tall looking Icewing.

"H-Hey... Hailstorm..." Cricket said softly.

Hailstorm looked at her with a somewhat of a surprised look.
"Hey... You're back..."

Cricket gave a small saddened nod. She was still regretful of what happened earlier.
"I uh... I want to apologise to everyone... For what I did..."

Hailstorm nodded slowly.
"Understandable," He looked behind him for a moment.
"But... Maybe it would be best if you came back later... Now is... Not the best time..."

Cricket raised a brow as he looked passed Hailstorm and into the room.
"What do you mea-"
She cut herself off.

There was a Leafwing in the room, she seemed to be crouched over someone, cradling them almost.

It was then that Cricket realised that it was Hazel.
Hazel was in the middle of the room, cradling Flame on her arms, she almost appeared to be crying. If she wasn't, she was at least seriously worried.

Cricket gulped slightly, slowly understanding what Hailstorm was getting at.
She took a step back, but the wood under her talon betrayed her by letting out a loud creaking sound.

Hazel -plus the other dragons inside- immediately turned around to see Cricket standing at the doorway.

Hazel's pupils shrank when she laid eyes on at Cricket, as if she was some sort of foul creature.
Gently, she lowered Flame's body to the ground before immediately rushing and lunging towards the doorway.

Cricket yelped as she saw Hazel pounce. Her claws were outstretched, and she wore a face that was of near pure hatred and rage.
"WHY YOU LITTLE!"

"HAZEL! DON'T!" Anemone suddenly cried out, or at least that's who it sounded like.

Cricket fell backwards on the wooden balcony while Hazel was practically on top of her... Almost.

Thanks to Hailstorm's quick reaction time, he was able to intercept the aggressive attack and hold Hazel back from tackling Cricket off the balcony.

"HAZEL! CONTROL YOURSELF!" Hailstorm screamed as he struggled to hold her back.

"IT'S HER FAULT!" Hazel cried out as she kept desperately trying to claw at Cricket.

Cricket's eyes widened as she started to breath heavily. She stared back into Hazel's eyes who were full of rage, an emotion she'd never seen her wear in all the time she'd known her.

Eventually, Hazel was neutralised as Anemone and Moon quickly rushed and helped Hailstorm pin her down to the ground with a loud thud.

Cricket shuffled back further, nearly falling off the balcony as she did so.
Meanwhile, Hazel was pinned, though her eyes were still glued onto Cricket, tracking her every move.
