Wondering Wings

Chapter One

-------------------------------------
Incase you didn't read the description, this story is based off of Whiplash246 story 'Take Flight on a Dragon' I recommend reading her story as it is amazing, but you don't need to read it to understand this one.
Enjoy!
-------------------------------------

I curled up in a tighter ball when the house shook again, there were more dragons then last time. "Mama!" I cried out in fear. "Why are there more than normal?"

I could hear her wondering around the house, completely ignoring my question. After about five minutes of her running around like a headless yak, she placed some things next to me. Once she noticed my confusion, she sighed. "Since this is the worst attack we've had since before you were born, I need to prepare for the worse."

I knew that the worst would mean evacuating the village.

"But mama, we can't just leave!" I whined. I grew up here, we've lived here for generations. We can't just leave now, the memories and battles we fought would be for nothing.

"I know Nova, but we can't just stay here either; the dragons have taken over for now." My mama spoke softly as she put her fur coat on me. She placed an axe in my belt pocket, before placing a necklace around my neck. "Oh wait." She muttered to herself as she raced upstairs.

I rolled my eyes before slowly standing and walking towards the window, the sight I saw was scary. Houses were being burnt to the ground, dragons covered the sky to the point I couldn't see the clouds, and people ran across the village trying to escape.

"Come on now, I have everything." My mama's voice came from behind me, before she grabbed my arm. While doing so she placed a few things into my pocket.

I was dragged out the house and into the streets of the small village I called home, or what was left of it. The people that lived here were most likely gone forever. "What about papa?" I questioned, causing her to shake her head. Did that mean he was gone too?

I felt around my pocket with my free hand, wanting to see what she placed in there. A picture of our family, my favourite stuffed dragon and sheep, and a map of the island. I used the small red Changewing dragon as a villain when I played with it, like all dragons were.

I quickly placed them back in my pocket as I scanned the area we were in, near the edge of the village. Guilt was washing through me as I thought about papa, could I have prevented his death somehow. We should at least look for him! I sighed as I glance at the sky, only for all my guilt to be replaced with fear. A dragon with two heads was circling us.

"Mama, look out!" I screamed as green gas started to surround us, any second now it will set on fire. Without thinking, my mama picked me up before throwing me across the village. As soon as I landed on some dirt, fire burned the area my mama was. I watched as she smiled at me before the fire engulfed her, it was like she has accepted her fate. Like she knew she was going to die. All of my family was gone.

I ran into the forest with tears falling down my face, trying to get away from the dragons. I would come back another time. Even more fear built up inside me as I heard wing-beats above me, so I looked. I was a curious child, and that's what could've killed me. A black dragon was camouflaged with the black smoke above me, but I could just make out an outline. I knew exactly what it was.

Night Fury's kill anyone on sight, or that's what the books have said. I had to run and hide and hope it doesn't find me. I looked back in front of me, hoping I won't trip over the many roots. That was the least of my worries when I was forced to a stop by the dragon landing in front of me.
