Chapter four- The Attack
Everyone was motionless.
Granite lay still in a puddle of blood. Dark grey against red.
The queen laughed.
"No!" Howled Marble, charging.
She rammed the queen right in the side, knocking her over. Magma was not expecting that.
Then the queen screamed.
Then the Bloodwings flew in all directions.
Then madness erupted.
Two of the Timewings who were there as backup fled, the others stayed-more likely from shock than to defend. Marble stood before the infuriated queen, anger radiating from her gory scales, as she slowly got up. Her eyes burned with hatred. So did Marble's.
The queen charged Marble, but she wasn't fast enough. Marble jumped aside, grabbing the queens horns and throwing her on to her back. She howled, and tried to get back up. But it was too late, Marble had her pinned. Their eyes locked for a moment.
"KILL HER!" Ordered the queen.
Suddenly, all the Bloodwings in hearing range (which were pretty much all of them, thanks to the queens talented screaming abilities) were charging straight for Marble.
She leapt off the queen without a second thought, and dove off the cliff. She flew as fast her her wings would let her, literally flying for her life.
Not a thought crossed her mind as she dove through narrow passageways, wove around mountains. Nothing but the instinct to escape.
She heard splat sounds, meaning another dragon had hit a rock, or some wall. She focused all her energy into flying away as fast as she could. Her wings ached from disuse, but she did not stop. Stopping meant death.
She took the chance of looking behind her. Only three Bloodwings were still following.
Three? I might be able to hold them off, at least for a little while, she hoped.
Marble scouted out a good place to land. She saw a mountain with a flat top, and changed directions.
She landed with a thud, followed by three more thuds behind her.
She spun teeth barred, claws out, growling.
Leave, she said with her mind.
"We leave when you're dead" growled the first dragon.
He charged, and so did the other two. Marble dodged and rolled under one of their bellies, raking her claws through the soft under scales of the first dragon. He howled in pain and collapsed, writhing. The other two seemed unfazed by the other dragons suffering.
Heartless, were the stories all true?
They circled around Marble, then charged from both sides. She decided to go for the larger one first. At the last second, she jumped as high as she could, using her wings to propel her onto the larger dragons back. She narrowly missed being impaled by one of the spikes.
The Bloodwing kicked and bucked like a bull, trying to shake her off.
She ripped a horn of, by accident trying to stay on. Then he got really mad, and she clamped her jaws around his neck, and bit down hard. There was a crack as his jewel hard scales broke one of her teeth, and sending a shock of red-hot rain up her jaw. She refused to let go. Biting down now with all her might, she worried her teeth might fall out as he continued to buck and shake. Then he cola
