CHAPTER 12- THE STORY PART 1!

(THE STORY OF HOW MEELO AND HER MOTHER SURVIVED)

(YOUNG MEELO'S POV)

     "A very long time ago, Night Furys would live in many different areas.  But they were feared by Vikings because of how skilled and deadly they were.  So the Vikings began to kill them. Nonstop wars.  The Vikings would not stop until they were all dead.  So the Night Furys had a meeting.  And they all agreed that it was best to have the Vikings think they were dead.  Each Night Fury faked their own death, then flew as far away as possible.  They kept flying for months until they were so far away that no man could ever find them.  And that night they found a very large island filled with mountains.  And, at the highest peak, was the moon that led the path to our new home.  And so, Night Furys have lived there ever since.  The end!"  Said our father.  "And the only way to find the Moon Mountains is to follow the moon until you see the island."

     "The Moon Mountains is a safe place for Night Furys.  So, if either of you ever gets lost, go there and I'll be waiting."  Said our mother.

     "Thanks, mom, I lov-"  My sister couldn't finish her sentence because an arrow had shot up, right into our father's heart.

     "Noooo!!!"  We all roared in unison

     He fell from the sky. All the way down to a ship...  More arrows came up.  Then a net.  Our mother used her tail to block the net from hitting us.  But in doing so, she got caught by it.  As I watched our mother fall I realized an archer was aiming right at my sister.  

     "Peni!  Move!"  I yelled at her.

     But she was so scared that she couldn't even hear me.  I saw his fingers slip and the arrow zoomed towards her.  I had no hesitation when I flew between her and the arrow.  It hit me square in the shoulder.  The last thing I remembered was falling and my sister yelling my name in grief.

     "Ok, now I didn't remember what happened next, cause I was knocked out, but Mom told me."  I told my sister, taking a brief pause from the story.

(EBOTA{the mother}'S  POV)

     I watched from the ship deck as my daughter fell, spiraling downward.  I looked back at Peni and saw that she was coming down after us.

     "Go!  Go now and NEVER look back!  I'm sorry.  I love you too."  I roared at her, I couldn't deal with another death.

     I saw her fly away.  But, much to my despair, an arrow hit her in the back and she fell towards an island.  I heard a loud thump and knew that she could not have survived that fall, I was the only survivor in our family now.  

     I heard a grunt at my side and looked to see my young fledgling, Meelo,  laying limp... but alive.

     She-she's okay!  Don't worry my love, I'll get us out of this.

     But before I could do anything else a muzzle was slipped over me.  I looked behind me to see a hunter chuckling at his victory.  I jumped up and got in front of Meelo.  Before he could run I jumped at him.  I held him under me with one paw and brought the other up for the killing blow.

     Someone kicked me hard on the side of my face.  I fell off the man and hit the hard deck.  He jumped up and ran to the other side of the deck.  

     I spun my head around to see the man that hit me.  

     "Well, hello beautiful.  My name is Viggo."  Said a young man as he smiled. 

      I twisted my body around and faced him.  I tilted back, ready to lunge at him.  He put his finger up.  

     "Hurt me and your little baby dies."  He laughed.

     I spun around to see an old man holding Meelo.  He had a small knife to her throat.

     "Good work, son.  You'll make a fine leader one day."  The old man spoke to the young boy that called himself Viggo.

     Something hard hit my head from behind and I fell down.  The last thing my blurry vision caught was the old man take my daughter away.  Then it was all black.

(DREAM)

     "Ebota, darling wake up."  

     I opened my eyes to see my mate looking at me.

     "Rahim."  I spoke his name as I stood up.  "Where are we?"  

     I looked around, it was completely black.  I didn't even know what we were standing on.  The only visible thing was my mate. 

     "I've gone to the stars now.  But you will wake again."  He said.

     "Wha- What do you mean!?  You can't leave me, not yet."  I wailed.

     "It's OK.  You have to worry about Meelo right now.  She will recover, but she'll be taken away from you and sold as a pet.  You must get her out of her!"  He urged.

     "I will."  I said.

     "And Peni is..."  I didn't hear the rest of what he said because he faded away.  

(DREAM ENDS)

     I woke up because someone was prodding me with a spear.  I guessed what he was about to say though.  Peni is dead.  

     I stood up and looked around.  I was in a cell with Meelo.  She no longer had an arrow in her but there was still blood around the wound.  I started licking the wound clean when I was poked again.  

     I turned around to see two hunters.  One with a spear halfway through the bars.  He poked me again and both men laughed.  When he came in again I grabbed the spear and yanked it in.  The man got pulled with it and slammed into the bars.

     He moaned and fell to the ground.  The other man laughed like crazy.  I pulled the spear and snapped it with my jaws.  Wait, my jaws!  I don't have a muzzle on anymore!  Why did they take it off though?  I looked back at my baby and continued to lick her wound clean.

     Just then the boy, Viggo, walked in with his father.  

     "You were right, father!  She is healing her!"  He pointed at me licking Meelo.

     "Yes, that's why I took the muzzle off, so the baby has a better chance at surviving.  This way she will grow up, more to sell."  He smirked.

     "Wait, but how does licking her help again?"  Asked Viggo.

     "A Night Fury's saliva has healing properties in it."  Answered the old man.  (Similar to a Tiger's saliva!)

     I growled and shot at the bars.  Nothing happened.  Dragon proof bars!  

     My attention immediately snapped back to my daughter when she grunted in pain.

     "Shhhh, it's okay.  Your gonna be okay.  Just rest right now."  I trilled at her.  

     "M-Mommy?  Where's Peni?"  She asked.

     "She-she's gone.  Her and your father have joined our ancestors now.

     We both cried for them the whole night, we knew that our grief would never leave.

     I spent most of my time there either licking Meelo or thinking of an escape plan.  After a few weeks, Meelo was well enough to walk around.  The arrow hadn't done too much damage, luckily it missed her wing muscles and bone.  Otherwise, she might not have ever flown again.

     Hey, how'd you liked the chapter?  I know it's pretty sad, but Meelo had a sad life.  D:  So sad.  Bye then!               Word Count:  1248!
