umbrella : a sky cotl fanfic 🟡DISCONTINUED🟡

§ spies and more rain §

It was the next day and Misty was still at Amaya's house. The rain had not stopped.
"That's strange."said Amaya as she stuck her cape into the rain,"it's still acid."
"Really? Let me see."Misty scrambled outside.
She shivered, her cape stamina was going down fast.

Suddenly, Misty saw something black out of the corner of her eye, but when she turned her head she saw nothing.

"Misty get out of the rain!" Amaya screeched.
Misty didn't notice herself turning to stone.

Amaya grabbed her by the arm and dragged her into the fire.

Misty sneezed.
"Looks like you're sick." grumbles Amaya.

Amaya sips her tea. I was out there for so long she got to make tea, thought Misty.

"You know I was screaming at you the whole time right?" Amaya chews on an ice cube.

Misty thought back to when she saw something out of the corner of her eye, what was that black thing?

"I saw something." Misty blurted.

Amaya's eyes widen and she spits the cube back into her tea,"What was it?-What did you see?"

"I don't know, it was a black thing, but as soon I looked at it, it disappeared." said Misty, reliving the memory.

Amaya gets up from the floor and runs over to her room.

She comes back with a huge stack of books.
She sets them on the floor.
Together, Misty and Amaya leaf through the pages, trying to find any information about acid rain and black things in the corners of eyes.
Nothing.
In fact, some of the books were absolutely random, there was one about cooking, another about jellyfish riding, and another about being friends with mantas...
But they still read all of them.

By the time they were done, it was three am.
They both headed to bed (skychildren sleep with a levitating emote) Misty sleeping in the living room next to the fire, and Amaya was sleeping in her room.

Misty couldn't sleep. It felt like something was in the room with her. Suddenly she saw a little blue light.

Misty stopped levitating and and growled, "hello? Is anyone there?" She said in dark dragon, if she was right, and it was a dark dragon, she would hear a growl back.
And sure enough, she did. "Who are you?" The voice said.
"Who are you?" She answered back.
"I'm a skychild, like you" this time it wasn't in dark dragon.
Misty sighed, she wished it was a dark dragon so she could keep it.
So, she took out her candle, wondering why there was a blue light if the creature wasn't a dark dragon. Turns out it was another forest skychild, but holding a blue runestone.

"I know about the acid rain. And I know about this baby dragon that you want..." he says.

"How long have you been hiding here?!" Misty whisper-screams.

"I haven't been hiding here, I've just been-well I guess you could say 'spying' on you guys" he smiles mischievously.

Misty thinks back to the time she was out in the rain and she saw something out of the corner of her eye,"I was you wasn't it!? The thing I saw out of the corner of my eye when I was in the rain!"

The boy seems confused."That wasn't me-"

Misty froze. "It wasn't you?!"
"What was it then...?"
