Better Together Part 4

The New Dragon

Once all her friends and bystanders could see again without their eyes burning, they saw the bubble was still around CC. All her friends rushed towards the bubble that slowly put CC to the ground, she lay there almost sleepily. "CC! Are you ok?" Emery cried as she rushed over. CC still wasn't moving but the stones laid at her side, barely glowing. "There's only six stones now! But how was she able to do this?" Synclaire gasped. "She united them. And there's an extra!" Harriet realized. "CC, c'mon wake up already!" Bella urged. "CARMAX GET UP!" Sarah shouted into her ear.

Without saying anything, CC finally started moving. They all were relieved but then gasped at her. "W-What is it? Is someone hurt?" she asked them. "No, not at all! But, you look awesome!" Olivia gasped as she hugged her. "What do you mean?" CC asked, still confused. "I think it'll help if you can see it!" Brianna C. smiled and summoned a wall mirror. CC looked at herself and saw that her wings and looks had changed. Her wings were more scaly, her face now had thin stripes and speckles, she had a medium length tail, one eye was now green and the other was brown, and she had pointy ears. "WOW! You look, awesome dude!" Bella N. cheered and started messing with her new wings. "Man your wings almost remind me of bat wings!" Perrin added.

"I almost look like..." CC gasped. "A dragon! But you have a bit of all of us!" Kate finally replied. "Yeah! She's right. You've got everything to represent us!" Kat added. "I wonder what caused it to happen," Nathalie wondered. "I don't know. But I do know I'm the last dragon." CC replied. "So that means you're more unique than us? That's sad!" Amaya frowned. "No silly! It just means I can see you guys whenever I want. No one can say otherwise. Now get over here!" CC replied cheerfully and pulled all of them for a hug. None of them resisted as they all hugged one another. For the first time in a while, CC felt at peace with everything and was relaxed with her surroundings.

While they had a moment to themselves, Paige had finally returned to the space where the Wildcats used to sit on their thrones and saw CC and her friends were enjoying their company. She smiled at how they finally saw happiness within each other and became a little jealous. I have no right to that friendship. It's time to find a new home. Paige sighed and flapped her non injured wing and turned to walk away.
