Ray grabbed the dragonet by the scruff. It started to whine so loudly she could hear it underwater.
Shut up.
The dragonet thrashed in agony. Ray had scraped her gills.
Why are you making this so difficult?! Just shut up!
Ray pinned the dragonet down, grabbing the chain that was around her neck. She picked at the lock with one talon while the dragonet thrashed and screeched in utter pain. Ray had a whole hand over her bleeding and sensitive gills. The dragonet did not like this at all.
Ray picked the lock, and the iron chain floated to the bottom with a clank.
Ray snorted aquatically and shifted her grip on the wailing dragonet. She grabbed it by the back webs, which to it, was much nicer than its gills.
Whale. The surface. NOW. While she's still in shock.

Whale nodded, and darted up, flopping onto the beach. He inhaled the amazing scent of the beach and seawater. Ray followed him, the dragonet in her hands. It gasped and lurched when it came to the surface. It wasn't used to the clean air at all.
Ray threw the dragonet onto the beach, and it cried out. Blood was still streaming out of its gills.
Ough. Do I seriously have to heal this thing?
Ray rolled her eyes and swayed her hand around. The blood stopped streaming out of the dragonet's gills. It was...very pretty, for a stupid dragonet.
Whatever! Ray flashed with her tiger-striped scales. The dragonet slowly opened its eyes.

"M-...Mama...?" It squeaked. Ray snorted in a laugh.
"I'm not your MAMA!" Ray bellowed.
The dragonet blinked.
"W-wha...?"
Ray menacingly stomped over to the dragonet.
"Is it that you're retarded, or just stupid?"
Maybe I is just like you! The dragonet flashed Ray. She figured Ray would get the message, since she wasn't fluent at speaking yet. Should she love this scary dragon...? She did save her life...
"Ray...sto-" Whale started, but shut his mouth when Ray gave him a dangerous look.
"Since when were you the one in control?!" Ray roared.
The dragonet took a step back. These new dragons who were her saviors didn't look like they liked each other. But she loved them! The purple one, who seemed to be 'Ray', looked pretty. She loved the colour purple!
The dragonet waddled over to Ray, and wrapped her arms around her leg.
"Mama!" She giggled.
Ray looked disgusted.
"Get off of  me!"
She ripped the dragonet off of her leg and threw her into a sharp rock.
"Ow-owie!" The dragonet cried.
Ray snorted, "It needs a name."
Whale gulped.
"R-Ray....it's female...please use 'her' and 'she'..."
Ray hissed.
"Shut UP! Why is everyone here so ANNOYING?!" She cried. She turned her attention back to the dragonet.
"Back to the...point....of this conversation." Ray sat by Whale. Her shark tail thrashed in thought.
Whale perked up his ears.
"What about Stingray?" He turned his head to Ray. She rolled her eyes.
"Fine. Whatever." She seemed annoyed, but it was fitting.
The dragonet, Stingray, sat up, a tear running down her face. There was a very large purple bruise right on her left side.
"M-M-Momma....I g-got a owchie..." Stingray sniffled. She saw the green SeaWing sitting by 'Momma.'
"D-..Daddy?" Stingray limped over to Whale.
Whale took a step back.
"Urm....I guess...I guess I am..." He didn't look too sure, due to Ray's reaction the last time Stingray had called her 'Mama'.
Ray hissed.
"Stupid! We aren't your parents!" She roared.
Stingray's ears drooped.
"B-but-"
"SHUT. UP." Ray snapped and kicked Stingray's bruise.
Stingray screamed and started to cry, curling into a ball. Ray hovered over her.
"That's right. We aren't your parents. I am your master. You are my subject.
"I will embed fear into your soul. You will follow my orders. You are mine."
