Love Through Death Aaron x Clay

First Training

Aaron's P.O.V.~

My eyes were opened as laid in bed, facing Clay.  His soft breath always seemed to calm me, even if I'd rather be sleeping later in the day.  Slowly, I slipped out from the covers, making sure I didn't wake him up.  He tensed up for a moment before settling back into his peaceful slumber.

Slowly, I walked out of the room, heading outside.  Ashton was standing there, watching the sun slowly begin to climb the sky.

"I don't see why you wanted to come back besides the fact that your mate is here," she muttered, looking back to me.  "The sunrise in Ninjago is much better than this one."

Shrugging slightly, I turned my attention to the sun.  "What can I say?  Clay is the only thing that calms me down, helps me.  Ninjago didn't have him."

My sister hummed in response, sighing.  "Perhaps.  Anyway, would you like to start training?"

"Not really," I admitted, but faced her.

She quickly shifted into the red dragon, watching me expectantly. My eyes shut tightly as I focused, feeling my bones get stronger and body grow. When I opened my eyes, I was a dragon, slightly smaller in stature than my sister.

Her eyes shown brighter, a low growl of approval escaping her throat. "Now, all you have to do is catch me." Ashton spread her wings, shooting off into the morning sky.

"What?" I question, following suit.

This was our training? A game of tag? Shaking my confusion away, I knew there was a reason behind the game as I flew close behind the darker dragon. Her tail disappeared behind the clouds she darted through, making me freeze mid-beat before I regained myself, flying above the white clouds.

Small droplets of water dotted on my scales as I scanned the white puffs for my sister.

She wasn't there.

I growled, flying lower to scan the area closer. My wings made some of the cloud shift around, giving me an idea. Carefully, I hover in one place, flapping my wings harder and faster, making more cloud to move away.

A red tail slithered passed, making me follow it.  I could easily tell it was Ashton, though I couldn't catch up to her.  She was too fast for me.

After a minute of flying after her, I watched as she launched herself at me, flying right next to me.  Her wing beats forced the wind to push me back, making me spin.

I tried to right myself, but I suddenly felt to weak to fly.  Slowly, I felt my body shrink as my eyes shut, making gravity push me down.  Faintly, I heard a roar, but didn't open my eyes to look.  I just let the air push me down.  A pair of talons wrapped around me, but I fell into unconsciousness.

~~~~~~~~

My eyes shot open as I looked around, the sky being a sickly green color.  The ground was covered in sticky red liquid, making me try to step in as little as possible while walking.  My bow was in my hands, but I didn't remember grabbing it.

"Aaron," a female voice hissed out from behind me, making me freeze in place.  "You should be dead."

I turned around, seeing Macy standing there, a mace in her hands.  She looked pissed.  Taking a step back from her, I aim my bow at her, watching her sway.  "Why do you hate me so much?  I didn't steal Clay from you!  If he loves me, there's nothing I can do about it!"

She growled, throwing her mace at my head, making me dodge it.  Her eyes glowed with anger, her hands taking a hold of a few knives.
