Dragon Blood (pack fanfic)

Chapter six

(Unknown POV)

     I leave the tree after I'm sure that the vikks are gone. I then slowly walk back to the caves. I have to look for my mom and winglet, but......... I don't know how I would find them. I move around the dens and search around for any remaining sent. The rain seems to have washed away most of it. And the rest confirms my suspicion. Everyone flew away, and so there's no scent to follow. Everyone must of carried the babies.

     I slump down against a tree. I'm all alone now. I never thought that I'd be lonely with all of my winglet being around me. But now they are gone. Just like that. What kind of twisted fate is this? I take out the vikk's round object from my pocket. I flip it open and just stare at the figures. I miss him.

(Vikk's POV)

     I wake up with the same melody playing in my head. Where the heck did I hear it from!? I groan and sit up in bed. I run through all the songs that I recently listened too, but none have the calming feeling of the melody. I grab my phone to try and find it, but fail. If it's not on google, how does it sound familiar?

     Unless...... it's that one! I throw the covers off and hobble over to my closet. I open the doors lean down to pull out a sealed cardboard box. I sit down next to it and struggle to get off the tape. Once I do that, I open it and stare down at the old toys. Dad took Lachlan's bed out of my room a long time ago, but I kept his stuff. I rummage through it and pull out a soft, blue blanket. Mom made each of us blankets when we were born. Mine is a darker shade of blue then Lachlan's. I set it to the side and look through the box again. This time, I pull out a gold and blue box. It has a silver lining, with a crank on one side.

     I grab the crank and wind it up three times before opening up the top. It opens like a clam, a little golden dragon sitting in the center. A calming lullaby plays from the box, and an image of two little boys holding the music box pops into my head. As I listen, long forgotten words play in my head.

And when you wish,
Upon a star.
Know that I am always with you.

Always know that,
I love you.
I love you,
More then words could ever tell.

I hope you know,
That you will always be loved.
Never forget,
That you always have my love.

And when you are feeling low,
Know that we are all together.
Cause our love for each other,
Would make the stars quake.

And when you wish,
Upon a star.
Know that I am watching over you.

Know that,
I love you.
I love you.
More then words,
could ever Say~

     Tears roll down my face. Mom gave that music box to Lachlan and I when we were born. She sang to us when we were scared. Rob and the triplets always slept through it, but now I remember how mom stayed awake with us when we were scared of lightning. I haven't opened this music box since He disappeared. And........ whatever saved me from the fire...... knew the melody of the middle part. Lachlan.

     I carefully set down the music box and lurch to my feet. I stumble out of my room and rush down the stairs my half healed ankle throbs in agony, but my adrenaline pushes me onward. "LACHLAN", I scream while running out of the house. I hear Rob shout at me to stop, but I don't. I hear four sets of feet run after me, but I don't stop. Instead, I charge forward. My ankle feels like it's on fire, but I don't stop.

     I run all the way to the forest. "LACHLAN!", I scream out, "LACHLAN!". I propel myself over the river, but land on my bad ankle. I yell out Lachlan's name again, and struggle to get to my feet. I feel three sets of arms tackle me to the ground. "Get off! I have to find Lachlan!", I scream at Mitch, Jerome, and Preston. That try to talk to me, but I don't hear them. I squirm and wiggle underneath them. I then feel myself lifted up off the ground. "No! Rob you don't understand! I know he's here! LACHLAN", I scream. It takes all of Rob's strength just to keep me from getting out of his grip. My strength fails me after ten more minutes of struggling, and my eyelids slowly droop,down. I hear low mummers as I pass out from exhaustion.
