Chapter Eleven-Queen Ruby
I raced back towards Jade Mountain as fast as I could, hoping that I would be able to get there in time to warn my friends. I landed and took off running trough the halls. Everything was a blur as I ran, so I didn't see Tsunami until it was too late. We collided and we both went flying.
"What was that for?" Tsunami asked as Riptide helped her up.
"Sorry." I said slightly dazed as Deathbringer steadied me. "Also there's a Skywing coming this way."
"Everyone except for Riptide and me into the other cave." Deathbringer said as he herded us into a small cave were we could barely see what was happening.
Deathbringer and Riptide both grabbed a rope and stood just out of sight of anyone coming through the hallway. Riptide hid behind a rock, trying not to show his blue scales, and Deathbringer sank into the shadows. Sunny came up next to me as she tried to see.
"I can't wait to catch that Skywing!" Sunny said enthusiastically. Tsunami quickly shushed her as we heard approaching footsteps.
Starflight tilted his head slightly as he tried to listen. At my last visit to Jade Mountain he had told me that he was trying to memorize the sound of everyone when they walked. He was probably listening to see if he recognized them.
As the footsteps grew closer they got louder and louder, like there was more then one dragon. Starflight seemed to realize that something was wrong too and yelled "Wait!" just as the Skywings rounded the corner, but it was too late. We heard rope snapping and then a Skywing thrashing around in the net.
Curious, we all came running out of the cave to see Cliff, Queen Ruby's son, thrashing around in the net as Deathbringer tried to get him out. Behind him stood a shocked Queen Ruby standing with two of her guards as Riptide attempted to explain what happened.
"Clay go help Deathbringer get Cliff from the net. I'll go talk to Queen Ruby." I said.
Five minuets later everyone had calmed down and were talking about the Skywing.
"A couple of weeks ago one of my prisoners escaped. She was loyal to Scarlet and was a danger to other dragons." Queen Ruby started. "We have reason to believe that she came here to seek revenge."
"Trust me we know." I replied. "What is her name?"
"Her name's Amaranth." Queen ruby replied. "Amaranth was one of Scarlet's most loyal guards, and I would not put it past her to come after you guys. This was what we found in her cell after she escaped."
Queen Ruby handed me a scroll, and carefully I unrolled it. On it were two names, Raindew and Darkshadow.
"We have to warn them." I said, panic rising in my voice.
Sorry it took so long to update, but Glory refused to work for a week. Something about wanting a raise.
Glory: "It isn't my fault that you didn't update!"
Me: "Yes it is."
Glory: "You're the one who was too busy playing soccer, and yes now I want a raise."
Me: "Never."
