Dead mother

                    Zoe
      /////time skip 2 weeks/////
          "Alright I need my hammock, a tent for the boys, my cast iron skillet, my cloak and dagger, yeah that's it now to go round up the others." I muttered that morning.
         "Why are you up so early? I don't have to move do I?" Greyson said through a pile of blankets.
          "No you can sleep some more I'm just packing for the hunting trip."
          After that all I heard was some muffled snoring and some muttering about Gabbie. I couldn't help but laugh at him a little. I finished rounding up the supplies and distributing it so each dragon carried the same amount of it.
          "Hey what do I need to carry?" Jessie came in asking "Is he still asleep?"
          "Yeah he is I've learned not to wake him up he gets cranky when he's tired. I'm going to get Gabbie to wake him up in a little bit because I don't wish to die." I responded
          I handed him his bag to carry and we walked out to get the others. I went to get the others I got Gabbie to wake up Greyson.
         "Greyson get up!" She demanded
         "Buzz off Zoe I want to finish my dream." He growled
         "I'm not Zoe now wake up!" She barked and rolled him out of bed.
         He came up madder than a wet hen. I laughed at him and he almost came after me until he realized who it was.
          "Oh hey Gabbie when did you get here?" He asked
          "Zoe didn't want to wake you up so I did. And get ready to go we're leaving after breakfast."
          We went on to breakfast and ate while making sure that we didn't forget the essentials. We got done and were grabbing our bags when we heard this god awful scream.
          I grabbed my dagger and extended it into a sword ready to fight. I ran in the direction of the scream to find Olivia burnt to a crisp by her red dragon.
         I called char in to take care of the dragon, and figure out it's motives. She told me that she had tried to teach it to blow fire on command and it hit her.
         "Human error of course. Char can we take him to the land of the exiles so he isn't executed?" I pleaded
         "Sure that's where we're going to go in the first place. There is a very strong monster population there that needs to be reduced." Char said
          "That will work great, can you have him finish the job. She deserves it even though she brought it upon herself." I said char did as I asked and she had a trainers funeral.
          We left just after that was done never to be spoken of again. We rode to the land of the exiles I removed my hood and we instantly had a whole cave to ourselves.
         "Well when do we start hunting?" Tuesday asked
         "Let me finish unloading the dragons and we can go. I want to be hunting by sundown. I also want to make sure Olivia's dragon is settled in and is fine before we get hunting."
         "I can go and talk to the leader if you want and he can get her dragon settled in if you want."
         "That would be great char can you get on that?"
         "Sure I'll be right back." She said and flew out to the main cave.
         I hung up my hammock on two roots and had Tuesday help the boys with the tent. After the boys tent was finally up tues and Gabbie got to theirs, that tent went up a whole lot faster.
        "So should we get going? I would like to dispose of the monsters in the immediate area." Greyson said after he got his supplies in his tent.
         "Sure I don't want to have Gabbie taken unarmed again." I said
         "It was one time I've always got some form of weapon on me now." She said slightly annoyed.
          "Gabbie you messed up I'm going to enjoy it. And really I know you're always armed now. Besides I don't want to chance any of us being taken."
         She growled at me while grabbing her sword. The rest of us grabbed ours and took out every monster within a 2 mile radius. We made it back healed our wounds and prepared for tomorrow's hunt.
          The next morning I woke up to find Jessie looking down at me in my hammock. With the other standing around my head alighting their butts off.
          "I talked didn't I?" I asked him
          "Yeah ya did, some was whimpering in fear and cries of pain. And a few minutes ago you started talking about me." Jessie said
          "Oh joy, I can't believe I actually talked during that dream. Please ignore anything I said." I told him.
          "It was really funny Zoe, I had no idea that you dreamt so much." Tuesday said between laughs.
          "I swear if a word of that gets back to camp I will kill you all!" I growled
          "Even me?" Jessie asked
          "Yes even you, now move this thing is almost impossible to get out of." I said to him.
          Before I could try to get out of the hammock Jessie picked me up and sat me on my feet. The others just snickered at us.
          "Well we need to get going and dispose of as many monsters as possible."
          "Agreed, only do stuff like that when the others aren't around." I growled swatting him in the side of the head.
          We got our weapons and mounted up. I flew off to the west to home making sure to dive bomb any monsters along the way.
          I found the heard of pegasi that hang around home. Shadow came galloping up to me and he had a message in him mane.
          "What's this boy come closer?" I told him and he obeyed.
           I looked at the wrapping and it read in dad's handwriting. 'Open this with someone you trust you will need the support.'
         "Alright shadow you can go home now." I told him and he flew off.
         "Char do you have any idea why this is?"
         "Yes sadly, open it with your friends they can support you better than me." She said with some sadness in her voice.  
          I agreed and we flew around killing monsters along the way. I was just thinking about the note mindlessly killing monsters left and right. Apparently I fight a lot better when I'm groggy.
         "Char..." I said
         "Yes Zoe what is it?" She asked
         "What do you think the note might say?" I asked her
         "I don't know Zoe let's just find the others and you can open it." She responded.
         We flew back to the cave where the others were gathered. Tuesday and Gabbie were in hammocks and the boys were goofing off throughout the cave.
         "Hey tues, Jessie can you come over here?" I told them
         "Yeah sure." Tuesday said
         "What do you need Zoe? Is there something wrong?" He asked walking over to me.
         "Something might be wrong. I got a note from dad that says to open it with someone I trust."
          "This isn't good I wonder who died?" Tuesday said
          Jessie slapped her on the side of the head. She growled at him and I began to read.
          "Squirrel I have bad news sit down. Your mother was killed by her pegasi. She fell off and landed on her head and died instantly. By now she is already in the ground and it's all said and done. I'm sorry I couldn't get this to you sooner but phones are dangerous. You also probably don't have any signal anyways in the territory. I hate that you have to go through this alone, but you aren't you mom and friends will always be with you." I read aloud and on that last word I collapsed.
          They sat down beside me and I just sat there thinking 'no this isn't real... It isn't real... Mom is alive...'
          "I'm so sorry Zoe that has to hurt." Tuesday said to me I just got up and walked to char and laid down on her neck.
         "Bad news huh?" Char said as she brought her head around and laid it on my lap.
         "Yeah mom is... mom is... Dead." I said and I just petted her head.
         "I know how that is I watched Blaze kill our mom so he could take the throne before the ceremony." Char said sadly
         Jessie walked over and sat down with us. We talked for some time and I calmed down.
        I took a walk through the land of the exiles slaying monsters left and right mindlessly. I was just in my own little world away from everyone.
