Snow Melting

Chapter 5

As they stirred so many thoughts rushed through Aurora's head.
Who is this? Where are we? Am I dead?
When Aurora got a clear look at their captor, the face immediately registered.
"Ember..?" Aurora retorted, "Why did you kidnap us..?"
"I didn't." Ember spat out.
"Do you know where we are? And what do you mean by you didn't? H-hey... where's Fin?" Aurora stammered.
"Well, we are on a small island near the SeaWing kingdom. I didn't capture you. You were weak and just fell to sleep.  And over there in that cave." Ember said haughty.
"Woah..." Aurora said, "What happened to the school?"
"Completely demolished. Boulder killed all the survivors who didn't bow down to him." Ember mumbled. Then they both hear talon steps.
"What the.." Fin said groggily.
"We can explain later." Aurora said sweetly.
"We need to get away as fast as possible and never turn back." Ember said.
"No! We can not leave innocent dragons to die!" Aurora exclaimed.
"We have to go!" Ember shouted.
"Fine, you go. I'm going back." Aurora yelled, she spread her wings and flew to where she hoped was Phyrria.
"Are we just going to let her go?" Fin asked.
"For now..." Ember said, "We just have to keep a close tail."

The sea waves were tough, but Aurora persisted. She knew she couldn't let innocent dragons die at the hands of a blood thirsty tyrant like her parents.
Aurora's mother was sister to her adopted mother. Aurora didn't know anything about her father.
The winds picked up and threw Aurora backwards, but she didn't care. She knew she was the only hope. No powerful NightWings, no IceWing armies. She was the only hope left. Then a thought occurred to her.
What if my adopted parents are dead?
They were all she had left. Now Aurora was the one who needed hope. A far off shape in the distance awoke Aurora from her slurred thoughts. It came out of nowhere, and was headed straight towards her.
