She was beautiful. Her wavey purple hair matched her pale skin perfectly. I couldn't see her face, but I could tell that she was crying. I've heard she was part unicorn, that explains the horn. It's not weird, everybody at my school is like this. Some people are part phoenix and have flaming phoenix wings. They are called phoenix-born. Some are part mermaids or meremen, Mere-born. Others, like me, are dragon-born. I'm tall with green hair, green eyes, and green wings with purple on the borders of my wings. Like most dragon-born people like me, I have fangs and a forked tounge. The beautiful unicon-born, whos name I have heard was Rarity, was standing at her locker crying. Should I go over and try to comfort her? Or just walk away? I work up the guts and go to talk to her.
"Hey, everything ok?" I ask her. She looks up a little, and I can see the brusie and cuts on the upper left side of her face. "Not exactly but I'll be ok." She awnsered. "Come here" I say to her as I open my arms for a hug. She accepts an starts weeping into my shirt. I stood there shocked that she accepted my offer and slowly put my arms around her. We stood there for a few minutes untill she stopped crying and she explained. "You see, storm-borns really don't like unicorn-borns. I had the unfortunate luck of being adopted into a family with a storm-born father. He had not been happy this morning. One punch and one lighning bolt to the face before I left for school and it still hurts." A lightning bolt to the face. Any normal human or forest-born would be dead instantly from a adult storm-born lightning bolt. Both would be dead. "Want to stay with me while he calms down?"I ask her. I can't belive I just offered this. I alone have a hard time supporting myself. I dont have parents, I hatched from and egg, alone. All I have of my parents are, from my dad, a bow with a full sheath of arrows. From my mom, a guide to how to cook food, how to gather fruits, veggies, nuts, and berries and what plants to stay clear of. "Oh my, I couldn't do that to you and your family!" She says. I look down and tell he that I live alone and could use a little bit of company. "Oh, I'm so sorry. Well, if I'm not a burden, I would love to accept!" She replied. "Oh, by the way, I'm Spike." I tell her."Well, Spike, I'm Rarity. Thank you an I'm very sorry for the blood I got on your shirt." She says. I look down and realize that my shirt had some blood on it. "It's ok. Rarity? Do you want to go to the nurse? I can walk you there." I offer her. "I don't belive they have anything to heal me." She lifted her shirt to show her scarred stomach. "Well, have you ever gone to a super-born school?" I grab her arm gently an bring her to the nurse, who heals her quickly.

"Why, how did she even manage to heal my scars!" Rarity squeals." I'm not sure, but it must be good." I reply. We walk over to her house, and I let her go in and get her things." Hey, I might be a while. If you hear my dad yelling, Ill be fine." She says. I tell her ok and we have a small conversation on how long she'll stay. We talk untill we are in front of her house. "Well, I'll be out soon." She says. "Ok, yell if you need me." I say worried."Ok." she says and she gives me a hug. Two hugs on the day she met me. She must trust me. She goes in and I can hear her dad screaming at her, and Im worried for her. "RARITY, WHY ARE YOU LATE, AND WHY IS THAT BOY OUT THERE, YOU SLUT! IS HE HERE TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU?" he screams. I hear the sound of lightning being made, so I fly as fast as I can through the window and in front of Rarity. I am greeted with a shock and a pain I have never felt before, and I fall to the ground. I start to fade away, but I hear what is going on. "HARRY! WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!" A woman, who I think is Rarity's mom yells. Rarity is crying and holding onto my arm. "THE BOY RAN IN FRONT OF RARITY RIGHT AS I WAS ABOUT TO HIT HER WITH A LIGHTNING BOLT!" Her dad, whos name I guess is Harry, replied. "WHY WOULD YOU HIT HER IN THE FIRST PLACE!?" Her mom yells. "SHUT IT WOMAN!" Her dad yells and he punches the lady to the ground. She must be a super-born, because she gets up and screams. "RARITY! GO,RUN!" she screams and I look up to see her father angrier than any other storm-born I have ever seen. Rarity starts to run and she glances back at me. I stumble to get up, but when I do, I realize that my wings are only a little burnt. I start to fly and pick up Rarity an fly away faster than I have ever flown. By now, I look back to see police cars going to their house. I descend at the edge of the forest. I weakly fall down, instantly making Rarity burst into tears. "I'm so sorry Spike. This is all my fault. You shouldn't of done that. Look at yourself." She says. She props me up against a tree and pulls out a mirror from her backpack. She hand it to me and I look at the damage. Its bad, my skin is blistered, red, and still bubbling from heat. The rest of my face is burnt a blackish color. I have cuts everywhere on me, and its hard for me to take it in."Rarity, I..." I start to say. "Dont speak. Just relax and lay your head on my lap. I do as told and slowly lower my head on her lap.I notice the over abundace of blood pouring out of a cut on my cheek. It must be from some broken glass from when I flew through the window. She sits and stares at me. I'm still, and she wipes blood off my face. "You know, you have only known me for less then a day, yet, you took a lightning bolt for me. Why?" She says. "Well Rarity," I mumble."I'm not positive, but I think.... I thinks it's because nobody or no super-born has ever treated me as kindly or with comfort like you." Rarity looks at me for a moment and then replies."I've seen you with some friends and a few girls." "Rarity, you think they are nice to me? No, the guys follow me around bullying me, Im surprised you didnt see them punch me, and the girls follow me around laughing at me. I am lonely, but I think thats why I am kind. I never want people to go through what I do." I have my eyes closed when I say this, because I think I'm tearing up. I feel some water land on my face, and I think Rarity is crying. I open my eyes and reach up an wipe away her tears. "No more crying today, ok Rarity?" She wipes away a last tear and nods."So, what to do about.... your cuts." She says, choking back tears. "Oh, I'll be fine" I lie. She lays my head on the ground and goes into the woods and comes back with a stem of thorns. I know that she will cut her self because unicorn-born blood is amazing at healing most things."Rarity, don't do it.'' I say sternly and I reach up and grab the thorns and pull them away from her. "Too late." She says blankly and shows the hand that had the thorn was covered in a light blue blood. Unicorn-born blood. She then starts running her bloodied hand over my face. At first it hurts, but then a relief I could never describe goes over me. "Rarity," I say sitting up," you shouldn't have." "Like you shouldn't of flew in front of me." She says, matter of factly. We are silent until I get up an take my shirt off. "Spike?'' Rarity says questionly. I grab her arm with her bloodied hand and wrap my shirt around her arm. I wait untill it has soaked up some blood and wring it out on her hand. I dont know why,but unicorn blood has to be re-applied to the bleeding Unicorn-born. "Thanks you." She says. "So, shall we go to my house?" I say. "Sure thing!" She says. I pick her up, and make sure she is comfortable. I start to fly over the forest. I land in a bare patch in about the edge of the forest, at the start of a big mountain, near a big cave that I call home. "I know it isn't much, but its enough to live off of." I say. "I love it! It just needs some veggitation to grow around it!" Rarity says. "Well, I'm glad you like it. From the looks of it, you'll be here for a while." I say. "There are a few things though." I tell her, "One: I hunt and gather. I can hunt the meat, you can gather the spices, nuts, fruits, berries and whatever you want. Two: This is a all natural home. I bathe in the river, and make my soaps. Three: We need to go get you some new clothes." I tell her. She looks down at what was her white shirt and purple skirt."Also, I need to go catch dinner, but I'll show you around first." I show her the spots for gathering berries and nuts and where to get spices. "The only fruit in season is apples here, but many veggies are.'' I tell her. "I know it from here. Most nights I did the same thing." She says. "Ok then, I'm going to go hunt." I say. I grab my fathers bow and arrows and start to hunt. I find a honeycomb thriving with honey, so I use my fire (remembering I am a dragon-born) to make smoke to calm the bees while I take the honeycomb. I brush all the bees off of the honeycomb then put the honey comb into my leather bag. I then run like hell the avoid getting stung. I slowly walk towards the river, and shoot a squirrel on the way. When I get to the river, I find a big deer an shoot him in the heart. I up dragging it back home. When I get home, I find Rarity in one of the apple trees picking the ripe red fruit. I also see an assortment of herbs, spices, and vegetables sorted out. "Hey Rarity, I'm back." I tell her. "Ok, any good hits?" She asks me. She hops out of the tree and lands perfectly. '' Yea, a squirrel and a buck. Let me go skin and cook them. I also got some honeycomb that I need to strain to make honey. I'll leve some honeycomb to eat as snacks." I reply, proud of my game today. "Ok, I'll make some salad." Rarity says, heading towards her pile of gathered food. I go and skin the two animals carefully so I can make some things out of the hide. I start a fire and cook the meat to perfection. I go to Rarity and see two salads in two hand carved bowls made out of wood. "Rarity, did you make these?'' I ask her.
" Yea, I hope that's okay. I have known how to carve wood since I was little. I just used this sharp rock." She says, lifting up an arrowhead. I walk over and look at the salad. Its a nice one, with apples, walnuts, and spices. "Wow, these look amazing!" I tell her. "Thank you, Spike! I thought I could also make some dressing for it, I just need that honey." She replies. "Ok, let me go strain it." I leave out a quarter of the honeycomb for us to eat as snack later. I get to straining the sweet honey, making my hands sticky. When I'm done, I give the honey bucket to Rarity. She says thanks and pours some honey into a newly carved bowl. She adds some nuts and mixes the honey and pours some on each of our salads, scraping every little last bit of the sweet salad dressing onto the salads. "Ok, I'll go get some water!" She says. "I'll go along also." I reply. We walk in silence untill she asks me a question. "Is this how you have lived your entire life?" She asks me. I sit in shock for a little bit an look down at my reflection in the stream. I can feel her questioning eyes looking at me, waiting for me to awnser. I nod, still to shocked to speak. I'm not sure what shocked me so bad. I have know it is true my entire life. "I'm sorry, I shouldnt have asked that." She says. "It's fine" I reply. I shake off the feeling and we finish filling our wood cups, and we walk back to my cave and go in and eat. "Wow, this meat is amazing! What animal is it?" She says. "Deer. The small one is a squirrel." I say, pointing at the little diced cubes of meat in my pack. "I'm going to make stew with it." We don't talk much during dinner, we are to bust stuffing our faces with the food. "This is the best meal I have had in a while!" I say. "Yes, it was quite filling." Rarity
replies. I look up and look at the starry sky. "We should get some sleep, we have school tomarrow." I tell Rarity. "Yes indeed. Where do I sleep?'' I show her my bed made out of moss and wood. "This is more comfortable than it looked!" Rarity says. I lay down on the ground and tell Rarity goodnight.
