Chapter Fifthteen-The Interrogation

I sat at my desk writing scrolls as the Sun streamed in through the windows. I was writing to the other queens, asking them for any information on the Skywings that we had not been able to capture. Just as I finished checking them and setting them aside for the messenger to deliver Deathbringer came into the hut.

"The prisoner has requested to speak with you." He informed me.

"Let's go." I replied as I stood up. I took off with Deathbringer behind me, and soon we arrived at our destination, the dungeon.

The dungeon was far enough away from the village to allow the Rainwings and Nightwings to feel safe, but close enough that we could get there quickly. It is made out of metal and the inside is fireproof. As we approached the two guards positioned outside of the doors bowed and stepped aside for us.

I landed and walked inside. In the corner a Skywing sat with his feet bound together by chains.

"I heard that you wanted to speak with me." I stated as I approached him.

"That's correct." He said.

"What's your name?" I asked as Deathbringer came in behind me.

"My name is Coquelicot." The Skywing informed us.

"Well Coquelicot we have a few questions for you." I said to him.

"What are they?" Coquelicot replied.

"Who were you here with?" I asked.

"The other people that were loyal to Scarlet." He replied.

"What were their names?" I asked as I started to get mad.

"They were theirs." Coquelicot responded. He knew that he was making me mad, but I was not about to let him win.

"Why were you guys here?" I asked. I had not expected a straight answer, but I was surprised when he gave me one.

"To set the fire. We were hoping to kill you, but I guess we'll just have to try again." He informed me.

"You admitted to setting the fire." I said.

"I know because I did set the fire." Coquelicot responded.

Knowing that I was going to get no straight answers from him today I turned to leave.

"My companions will come back for me." Coquelicot said as I left.

I knew that he was probably right. We needed to be prepared for when they did.

I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I don't even know where this story is going. I am literally just making all of this up as I go along. I would like to apologize for my spontaneous story.
