Dragons and Slayers (Sting x Reader)

Chapter 28: Broken and Seperate

:Media- Lilo and Stitch- "We're a broken family aren't we?"

(Sting's POV):

We were hot on (Y/N)'s trail. But we came to a slight problem...

"Sting," Yukino complained, "I'm starving."

"Then turn back and go get food. Me and Rogue will continue," I was annoyed, she's been complaining about everything. The cold, her feet hurting, her being hungry, and so many more.

"No! I'm not turning on (Y/N)," She stopped walking, "she'd do this for me, you, or even a stranger."

I turn around. I was taken back, Yukino's hands were bunched into tight fists at her side. Her knees were shaking and her teeth were clenched. She was looking down, and her short hair blocked her eyes. "She's my friend... She's a part of the Sabertooth guild," She began, her arms crossed over her body as she hugged herself, "And Sabertooth is like a family to me. And I'm not going to lose my family again..."

Rogue didn't say a word. He just placed a hand on her shoulder. She flinched almost but then recovered. She quietly sniffled, and wiped her face of what I guess to be tears. She held her head high, "Let's keep going. I'll not complaining, but can we at least get a snack or something." Her stomach growled.

I took off my pack and opened it up. I dug in it and pulled out a red apple and throw it at her. She caught it and smiled, "Thanks!"

We trudged through the snow. I'll find you, (Y/N). I will. Even if I die trying. I looked to the sky. It started off clear but now is blanketed over with a thick, dark, grey cloud. I knew if we didn't get to a safe place soon, we'll be caught in the storm... I can't risk Yukino, Luna, Lector, Fro or Rogue's life. But (Y/N) needs to get to cover soon as well.

Speak of the devil... A cave caught my eyes. I turned to face it, "You're going to set up camp here. Until the storm passes over. I'll continue looking for (Y/N) while we can still see her prints."

"This is suicide, Sting," Rogue said, "It'll be too cold and too risky. Look at how dark those clouds are. That means there'll be a lot of snow, a lot of wind and a lot of danger."

"And that's why I'm going alone. I can't drag you guys with me. I don't want you five to get hurt," I sighed and looked at a near by tree. Bark was ripped from it. No scratch marks so it must've been (Y/N) and not a wild animal.

Lector shook his head and spoke up dragging me back to reality, "You mean four. I'm going with you."

"No you're not Lector," I stated firmly.

"Then I am," Luna was stern and stubborn, "I've lived in the wild for years, I'm used to storms. And besides, my nose can track her down a lot quicker than yours."

She had a point... "Okay fine, but you need to stay close to me. If anything happens to you, I'll stuff you in my pack anyways. But if something bad happens you fly here and stay with the others. No matter what."

"Deal," Luna stuck out her paw. I grabbed it and shook.

"No deal," Yukino said.

"Listen, Yukino. I can't loose (Y/N) tracks now. I can feel her, she's close. Please, just stay safe and I'll go get her."

"I can't let you do that, Sting! There's still a chance of you and (Y/N) getting caught in a situation and dying!"

I glanced at Rogue. He wore a frown on his face. His normal poker, straight face turned even more twisted, into the lowest frown I've ever seen on him.

I closed my eyes thinking of words I can say to convince them. "I'm not the best spokesman, but as a friend I can't lose you. And as your leader, I won't let you guys die for a cause like this. Now, I command you four to stay in this cave and in the morning or so, wait for me. Here." I pointed my finger to the ground by the cave. "Now am I clear."

Yukino looked away, "yes, master. But what if you're not here in the morning?"

"Then go back to the guild and lead it well," I said and turned to the forest, placing my steps in (Y/N)'s. Snow was slowly falling down. Perfect dramatic exit, I applauded myself. Luna hopped up on my soulders and waved behind us.

"We're a broken family, aren't we?" I faintly heard Yukino whisper behind me. My heart sank the deepest place on Earth and even deeper. I didn't look back and pushed forward following the tracks.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It's been too long and the wind has picked up sending snow in every direction in fast speeds. I could barely see 5 feet in front of me. Frost bit at my face and liquid just drooled out of my nose like water. We no longer could see (Y/N)'s foot prints. I didn't realize how far ahead of us she was. I couldn't tell if it's day or night. All I knew was I was tired and cold.

Luna sniffed the air, "She's directly in front of us... but she's not moving."

I even stopped moving, I stood there fringed. Run. My feet carried me through the deep snow and I slid on my knees to her side. I turned her over. Her body was cold and her skin was pale. Her eyes were closed and her cheeks were a light pink. Her long, black eyelashes were frozen with ice and looked pretty. Her lips were a light purple. Snowflakes laid peacefully in her (h/l), (h/c) hair. I leaned over and placed my ear to her chest. Her heart was heard but barely. She wasn't exactly breathing either. All I heard was a raddling. I held her close to my body and picked her up.

Her eyes shot open and she held onto my jacket. Her body shook and her grip tightened. She looked me dead in the eyes. Something was off though, her beautiful (e/c) eyes now glowed an evil blue color. "Put. Me. Down." Her voice wasn't hers, it was deeper and almost demonic.

"You'll die out here if I did," I said.

"Who said I didn't want to die?" She pushed herself free from my arms. She landed with a crash into the snow. She was so weak she couldn't even stand. I shook my head. I was too tired to carry her all the way back to the camp. So I laid down next to her and wrapped my arms around her. (Y/N) turned to me and placed her head on my chest. Luna slipped in between us and laid with us. I could feel (Y/N)'s shoulders shake and small cries came from her throat.

"Sting... help me.." She cried.
