Raised By The Enemy

Chapter 6

A/N okay, so I found the picture above on the Internet, whoever drew this, is a genius. You need to look at it! (:

Yugo and Adami climbed down the side of the tower... Well, Adami flew down and caught Yugo every time the little Eliatrope slipped. Rain poured down as they clambered down "Yugo, stop slipping!" Adami joked as he caught Yugo yet again

"Sorry, the rain is making the stone really slick." Yugo apologized

"I'm just gonna carry you the rest of the way down."

"That's the best idea I've heard all day." Yugo laughed as Adami carried him down "It's never rained before..." Yugo mumbled

"What'd you say?"

"It's never rained before. Oropo controls the weather, so he keeps it sunny most of the time."

"What about when it's not sunny?"

"Then it's just really cloudy."

As the two brothers reached the Zaap portal, and were confronted by Phaeris. "Adami. Phaeris thought he made it very clear, that you would stay at the castle." The old blue dragon said angrily

"Yeah.... I found Yugo." Adami smiled as he backed away from the angry adult dragon "So can I, not be grounded?"

"Phaeris supposes it's okay that you came. You found your brother." Phaeris said as the group began to over to the portal. "Just don't do it again."

Adami grinned sheepishly as they neared the portal. "Phew, didn't get grounded."

Before they could enter the portal, Oropo and Echo stepped out of a portal, between the group and the Zaap. Phaeris stepped in front of Yugo and Adami "Yugo, we can avoid a battle. Just come back to the tower, and we can avoid any harm that'll come to anyone here." Oropo said "Come here, and things can go back to the way they used to be."

"N-No." Yugo replied from behind Phaeris

"What?" Oropo asked, a bit agitated

"I.. I said no! I don't want to go back to the way things used to be." Yugo exclaimed "I.. I don't want to be trapped in... In a tower!"

"You ungrateful little brat!" Oropo yelled, causing Yugo to hide behind Adami and Phaeris "I raised you! Come here now."

Tears welled up in Yugo's eyes. Adami saw this, and angrily growled at Oropo "Hey!" Adami yelled "You may have raised my brother, but you also Kidnapped him! So don't even think to call him ungrateful!" Oropo looked at Echo, she seemingly read his mind. She nodded and disappeared into a portal, only to reappear behind Yugo and Adami, with Sifo. Echo grabbed Yugo, and Sifo grabbed Adami. "Phaeris!" Adami yelled trying to gain the adult dragon's attention

"Let us go!" Yugo yelled as Echo and Sifo dragged him and Adami through the portal

Yugo and Adami sat in the dark, stone room. "Yugo it'll be alright. We'll get out of here." Adami said, as he tried to comfort his brother, who was curled up in a ball in the corner of the dreary room "We'll escape, and go back to the Eliatrope Kingdom."

"I... I'm sorry Ad." Yugo said

"What? Bro, you've got no reason to be sorry."

"I-If I-I'd just... Just done s-something o-other then... Then y-yell t-then... Then m-maybe we w-wouldn't b-be in t-this mess."

"Don't blame yourself Yugo. I wanted to come save you. Phaeris and Grougaloragran told me that because Oropo had kidnapped you, he'd be after me as well. That's why they told me to stay back at the castle. But I didn't. I came to help save you. No one told me to. I just came." Adami side-hugged Yugo "Besides. He kidnapped you when we were babies. I don't think you would've been able to stop him." Adami joked, making Yugo laugh a bit

"I-I guess y-you're r-right." Yugo replied as he wiped some of the tears away "T-Thanks Ad."

"No problem Yugo."
