Chapter 4: Traitor!

The dragon was huge. It had a huge mouth, red eyes and it was nothing but white with red accents in some places. It looked starved, Control could tell, because its ribs were showing and it had a crazed look in its eyes.

ROAR

And apparently it was hangry too. It flew at the island with high speed, creating a large hole close to Control's feet. Sensing a threat Delete sniffed the edge of the hole then let out a low warning rumble.

"It's ok." Control whispered to Delete who was growing more tense by the second.

Control had to grab onto Delete when a giant shaking rattled the entire island and Control to the core.

"Whoa!"

Control looked back to see Juniper and Abby had the same reaction; falling and holding on to their dragons for support. Then the mini earthquake stopped as quickly as it had started. The hole left in the ground by the giant dragon started filling with water quickly. It dug right through the island and into the water!

CRASH

Another hole appeared as the white dragon crashed through the ground just next to Abby. Abby screamed, and tried to climb onto Wilde. Wilde was her deadly nadder she had run away with. Wilde was a bit mean at times. He had a nasty habit of biting anyone that wasn't Abby and not to mention his evil glare he'd sometimes gave. Wilde screeched. And hovered above the ground a small bit before setting back down and eyeing the ground.

Now the other hole was starting to spout water. Crud. Delete was still growing really tense, so thick one could cut it with a knife.

A crash here, and a crash there and the island was full of holes not long after

Control felt something press up against him, he turned to his right to find Delete up against him for comfort.

"I think we need to leave, its no use gawking at this island being destroyed." Juniper noted. Juniper had managed to stay at least partially calm during the attack, which striked Control as a little odd.

Control turned to Delete who was still a bit unnerved by the event, and hopped on.

"C'mon Delete, lets go." He murmured to Delete.

Delete shook his head, and flew off following Wilde and Albatross already in the sky heading away from the already falling apart island.

Control looked back to see the white dragon come out again before taking a sharp turn left and adding another hole to the already tons that lined the island.

It was the first time he had seen a dragon of that size eat an island. He guessed Juniper had at least seen one before to know what was going to happen- well what usually happened. The only ever time he had seen an island fall was when something bright and blue shot into a rock tower and fall, then something black hit it afterwards.

After some while Control got curious about where they were headed, Juniper was leading them after all.

"Hey Juniper? Where are we headed? Don't ya think this might be a bit close to some Dragon Trappers?"

"No, its fine."

"You didn't answer my question before that."

"..."

Juniper ignored him. Control was starting to get a little annoyed.

"Seriously where are we going?"

"Yeah, I'd like to know where we're going too." Abby pitched in.

"You'll see when we get there." Juniper sighed.
