I looked at my uncle. He looked pale. Paler than a normal Nightwing should. Honeydew kept repeating I'm sorry over and over again.
My uncle grabbed his arm were Honeydew had bit him.
"Oh moons why does it hurt." Shadow yelped.
"No way." Toxic whispered.
"What?"
"Honeydew. You have venom?" Toxic asked, "if you do we need to treat him right away. This stuff is deadly."
Toxic rushed over to Shadow and examined his bite.
Shadowwalker looked at her son. He was almost unconscious and his breathing was hard.
"Shadow baby what's wrong?" She said worryingly.
"I-I d-don't k-." Shadow passed before he finished his sentence.
Toxic pulled some herbs from his pouch, crushed them up and put them down Shadow's throat.
"I've stabilized him but I don't know if that's enough. I'm an assassin not a doctor and I doubt any of your dragons know how to heal venom bites.
"Sandwings know how to cure dragon bite viper bites." Father said, "we can send a messenger for one of there doctors."
"I don't know. Dragon bite vipers are different. More potent venom. Hivewing venom is used on prey or enemies. And seeing as how Honeydew is reacting she's scared."
"I didn't want it to happen. I didn't mean to poison him." Honeydew said.
It finally hit me she's my sister. My step sister.
"Honeydew." I said reaching out to touch her.
Grandma stopped me and looked at Honeydew with her smile. The smile she has when she has an idea.
"Honeydew. You killed a prince. You know the Hivewings will pay for this." Shadowwalker hissed.
Honeydew looked at grandma in horror.
"But there is something you could do." She said.
"Your venom. How does it work?"
"It flows through the bloodstream and slowly poisons them until they die."
"Is there anyway to extract the venom?" Shadowwalker asked.
Honeydew shrugged.
"Well the queen of Icewings is coming tomorrow with her son. If you don't want a war then you'd better find a way to get that venom of yours in a blow dart." Grandma growled, "actually the Rainwings might be able to do it. Nova darling take your sister to the Rainwing Queen. And she can't come back until you get the dart."
I nodded.
"My venom can probably make an anti venom." Honeydew said quietly.
Grandma narrowed her eyes at Honeydew. I just grabbed her claw and flew off with her.
It took her awhile to get her balance and start to fly.
I looked at her. I saw some Nightwing characteristic in her. The tear shaped scales going down her middle scales like Nightwings. The dark orange shade on her chest. Her wings being silver instead of being see though or black. Her eyes blue and green like fathers.
"So you're mother?" I asked.
"She's a normal Hivewing. I got my venom from my grandmother. My cousin Sunspot has a tail stinger." She said.
"Is your mother as great as father says she is?"
Honeydew looked up.
"She's mean when she has to be. She's nice when she has to be and punishes dragons fairly if they did something wrong. Like when I get back I'll show mother this letter and then she'll have to punish Sunspot."
"Sunspot could be jealous. Midnight doesn't like me. She's my aunts daughter. She's always why does she get the attention or why does her mother get to keep all the big secrets." I said.
Honeydew smiled at me and I smiled back.
"I guess we're family after all." I laughed.
"Yeah. I don't have any siblings. Until you. And Fastfuture."
"Yeah. I didn't have a sister until you. Anyway. Grandma isn't very nice sometimes especially when you hurt her baby. She's agreeable sometimes but most times I think she'd rather have Shadow on the thrown instead of my mother. In the future of course."
"Yeah I can even tell. Shadowwalker Shadow.
Who names their kid after themselves." Honeydew giggled.
I also laughed.
"I know right. You're mother was funny though. Honeydew and Aphid."
She smiled but it didn't last.
"Yeah I miss her. Also Evergreen and his mother and Leafcutter even though she's crazy."
"You speak very highly of this Evergreen. Is he special?" I asked.
"Well he's my best friend. He's adorable. You should meet him sometime."
Honeydew smiled. And then in a flash I saw her start to fall to the ground.
I saw a Rainwing materialize and fly down to catch her.
I recognize him as the Rainwing assassin Camomile. I flew as fast as I could but before I could get to him a vine wrapped around all three of us and started to pull us up.
There flying was an angry Leafwing with his arm outstretched and the vines clutching tightly around me and Camomile.
"Honeydew." The Leafwing said flying to her.
I didn't hear what he said next because I was too focused on what I could say to live.
