The Alpha Night Fury

Forgiveness

I flew through the darkening sky with NightSong giving chase as he called for me to wait. I flew into a cave and hid around a corner. I saw my brother fly past and down the cave tunnel me so I flew out and shot the entrance closing it with stones. I shot the last stone which crumbled apart so I had space to stand at the top and look down on my trapped brother. NightSong landed and sat down. He looked up at me, knowing full well that he had fallen into the trap. "I'm sorry" he said with a sigh. "Tell me everything" I demanded. "No!" He said with a glare. "Then get used to your knew home" I said as I picked up a nearby rock and placed it over the entrance, shutting out the light. "Okay, okay. I'll tell you" I heard NightSong say from inside. I lifted up the rock, sat down and pricked up my ears. "Thunder has been bullying StarGaze... she's the other Night Fury and I like her" NightSong said all embarrassed and shy.

I flew down into the cave and landed next to him. "Awww, you were trying to help her. I'm sorry for trapping you" I said feeling a little bad. "It's okay, I was a jerk towards you. But today Thunder pushed StarGaze onto a pile of rocks and it could have really hurt her, I couldn't take it anymore so I leapt on him and we started fighting. I don't know what came over me." NightSong said. "It's okay, I'll deal with it. I just hope the queen doesn't find out" I said with a sigh. We sat in silence for a while. "So, StarGaze huh?" I said giving him a nudge. "W-well yeah, s-she's nice" NightSong stuttered as he went shy. I laughed softly. "Anyway what's up with NightShade? He was so protective of you today!" NightSong said after a while as he tapped me with his wing. I rolled my eyes, but stayed quiet. I heard the flap of wings and looked up to see NightShade land on the top of the rocks. "Speak of the devil!" NightSong chuckled as he watched NightShade jump into the cave.

"Hey. Just came to made sure you're both still alive" NightShade said as he walked towards us. "Yes we're good, it was just a misunderstanding. It will be okay as long as the queen doesn't find out" I said smiling. I slapped my brother with my ear and gave him a deadly glare because he kept nudging me. "Yeah, about that..." NightSong started. "ICEGLOW!!!" I heard the scream of the Red Death call. I looked at NightShade who nodded. "Stay here with NightSong and don't leave" I ordered. NightShade nodded. "And NightSong behave!" I said glaring at my brother. He grinned playfully, but nodded. I spread my wings and flew towards the volcano. "Get over here Night Fury!!" The Red Death screeched. I flew into the volcano and landed heavily on the leader platform.

"There was a fight that you asked to be kept from me?!" The Red Death yelled at me. "Yes, that's true my queen. But I wanted to deal with it myself and prove that I'm a true leader" I told the queen. She glared at me, but seemed calmer. "I talked to NightSong and he stood up to Thunder who has been bullying StarGaze" I explained. The queen was quiet as she looked at the rock behind me. I knew this news would come as a shock to her because she had known Thunder from a hatchling and he had been a leader when he was younger. "Get Thunder" she ordered. I nodded and soon came back with the grumpy Rumblehorn. She talked to him and scared him so much that he admitted that everything was true. Before he had a chance to reason with her, the queen leapt up and ate him. "Tell NightSong he's free, but he won't be as lucky if it ever happens again" the queen said. I thanked her greatly and flew back to the cave.

I landed inside the cave. NightShade and NightSong looked up and went quiet. This meant they had been talking about me, I knew that much. I told them what the had queen said. "Thank you so much" NightSong thanked me before grinning and flying home. I watched him go then turned and looked at NightShade who looked away. "I guess we should go back..." I said looking at the entrance of the cave. "Guess so..." he agreed. But neither of us moved; we just sat in silence, enjoying each other's company.
