The Color Of Fate

Chapter 6

-Shin-Ah-

"He's scared of us?" Yona asked. I shook my head.

"He isn't scared of you. He's scared of the four dragons..." Kija said. I nodded again. Just then Jaeha jumped down.

He wasn't smiling like usual. "He's gotten caught by the guards."

Yona stood there, not talking. Ao jumped on my shoulder and I turned, running after him. He's scared of the dragons... But its more than that... It couldn't just be that.

He's worried about people trying to hurt the Black Dragon. I stopped running, looking around. You won't be able to see me. I am your dragon.

I kept running, taking off the bush of hair, leaving it in the tunnel. Kija was behind me, calling my name. I didn't stop. I had no worries about Yona's safety since Jaeha would be with her in a few minutes. At the end of the tunnel was a door. I smashed it down, seeing guards surrounding the exit. One of them was holding the boy unconcious in his hands. I clenched my teeth.

"Get him." The one holding him said. The others began walking forward cautiously. My hand flew to my sword, pulling it out, going at any guard that came at me. I looked to see the guy running away.

I jumped through the men, darting in front of him, swinging my sword so it wouldn't hit either of them, just warn them off. "Drop the boy."

"If you mess with us you are messing with the kingdom, now leave before I have you locked up or killed."

I ignored his words, dropping the sword, sending my fist flying towards his. He froze, unable to move. In one swift movement I grabbed the kid, holding him in one arm, using my other to grab my sword. The man stood there, clenching his teeth.

I held my sword steady, ready to move at the slightest hint of an attack.

"If you wish to follow us, then you will be killed." I said, sheathing my sword and turning to walk away.

"By doing this you're making an enemy you don't want!" The guard yelled.

I looked at him over my shoulder. "So be it."

-Yona-

I sat next to the two boys, waiting for them to wake up. He's scared of the dragons?

I looked up, seeing a fist coming towards my face incredibly fast. I froze, shocked at the sudden movement. The fist came closer but stopped inches from my face. I glanced to the side, seeing Hak there, holding a firm grip on the boy. His eyes narrowed and he pushed backwards, making the kid fall to the ground. The other jumped to his feet, standing in front of his friend.

"What do you want from us..."

I smiled and shook my head. "We don't want anything from you. You're free to go if you'd like to leave."

"Where's Rin?!" The one in the back yelled harshly and accusingly.

"We don't know." Hak said plainly.

"What do you mean you don't know!" He stood up again, squaring off with Hak.

Hak stood there, seemingly bored. "He ran off before we could talk him."

-Rin-

Four dragons surrounded me, all glaring at me with their big, cat-like eyes. I tried to move but they were holding me down. I looked around frantically, searching for a way out. I looked over to where that walls that were surrounding us met. My eyes widened. The blue Dragon stood there with a unconscious  Shika in his hands. I blinked, looking again.

Shika wasn't unconcious... He was dead.

"Shika!" I yelled loudly, struggling more.

"Don't you realize it yet Rin.." the blue Dragon said. "You're nothing but a destructive force that'll kill anything in its path."

I woke up, sitting up quickly, breathing hard. To the side of me a guy was sitting, playing around with a tiny squirrel. He looked up when he saw me move, staying silent and still.

I looked away, muttering, "Thanks for helping me."

He nodded, then spoke. "What is it that you're afraid of. None of us have any intention of harming you."

"I don't know." I felt my face grow hotter and my eyes began to blur a bit.

He stood up, stretching a bit, "Come on. Your friends are waiting."

I nodded, standing up and following him. We began walking through some trees, heading away from the small shack and to where my friends were. Once we got closer to their camp I stopped walking, seeing Kiro and Shika weren't there.

The Blue Dragon stopped walking and turned around. "You can leave now if you'd like."

I nodded, turning to the right and started to walk back to the town.

"Black Dragon..."

I stopped walking at the voice. It was the girls from before. "I'd like to ask for you to come with us."

The sentence made me freeze, unable to move. I stood up straight, looking forward.

"Don't act like you care."

I heard a few sharp breaths and looked back. "You don't even know my name. You'd be wiser to be careful who you ask to accompany you."

I jumped, swinging up into a tree and took off towards the town. You know who she is Rin. Why do you run from her..

I don't know... I thought more to myself than him. I just... I don't want them to turn their backs on you and kill you..

I felt something inside me stir, you don't have to worry about that Rin. Remember, I put myself inside of you. If I need to fight I can release myself.

But you wont.

Of course I wont. It would kill you in the process.

You don't know that...

His voice stopped talking. I looked up, seeing a night sky overhead. I picked up pace, going to find them.
