Chapter 3


As I was heading to the doorway out with Sandstorm and Plasma walking behind me, the dragonet that ran out of the class when I finished fighting Thirst Taker walked into the room with the school nurse behind him. The nurse had an annoyed look on her face as she walked in, probably because she has to come here every single day to care for a wounded classmate. 

The dragonet pointed ti the groaning Thirst Taker, and the nurse ran over to him and took our her aid kit, and started caring to his wound. I shook my head and started heading to the door again.

Just as I arrived at the doorway in the corner of my eye I spotted a Sandwing teacher talking with a vaguely familiar Nightwing, and two other Nightwings I didn't recognize.

I slammed myself against the wall and pulled Sandstorm that just about stepped out of the room, and pushed him against the wall also. Plasma, avoiding me ran behind Sandstorm. 

"Wait wha? What are we doing?" Sandstorm asked me. " Its them," I told him, " the Nightwings."

" The ones that those idiot sons of beetles Sandwings were talking about?" Sandstorm asked gritting his teeth. 

"Don't know, but lets just avoid them anyway." I said. I turned my head and looked at the Nightwings.  They were still talking to the principle. I started sneaking my body keeping my side against the Sandstone wall. We head towards the door.

We got a few feet away from the door out of the school and Plasma gasped, "My scrolls! I left them behind! I have to go get them!"

Sandstorm punched him in the arm. "You idiot we can't get them now. We need to get away." " But, but, I NEED them!" Plasma replied desperately.  Sandstorm hissed at him.

"Shut up you two!" I told them harshly.

Plasma glared at Sandstorm and I.  We arrived at the door and I reach my claws over to pull the door open. 

I had only got it open a few inches when the door creaked. One of the Nightwings I didn't recognize turned his head sharply with his eyes squinted. The Nightwing had the shape of an assassin. A slim chest, and small body, great for sneaking around, and pure black scales.

The Nightwing started towards us. The other two Nightwings turned around. The largest Nightwing shouted, "You three! Stop!" It was a she. But her voice was rasp, scorched sounding.

My mind flashed back about 5 years ago. To when the Nightwings came to my house.

I remember the voice, the voice, of the Nightwing, who destroyed my parents. Who destroyed my house. Who destroyed my future, who destroyed my life.

" We have to go, NOW!" I shouted. Sandstorm, Plasma and I ran out of the door, and into the bustling of the Scorpion Den.

 We ran into the crowd of dragons of all kinds of tribes, trying to blend in.

I looked back behind me. And one Nightwings head pocked through the doorway. He turned his head left and right, searching for us. He stuck his whole body out and shut the door behind him. It was the small Nightwing. 

I looked back. Sandstorm was looking straight at me, with his hand holding down Plasma.

Plasma was struggling under Sandstorm's grip. But Sandstorm was too strong for him.

"Lets go." I said quietly. Sandstorm let go of Plasma, and Sandstorm and I started running away from the school, while Plasma was struggling to get back up on his feet.

I looked back again at the school. And the Nightwing wasn't there. I widened my eyes. Where was he? Where did he go? I turned to Sandstorm. Who had stopped running. 

"THe Nightwing is gone!" I told him. "So? He mightn't gone back to the school!" He replied sharply.

I shook my head, but in my head I was sure he hadn't gone back. 

We continued forward. The crowd got smaller as we exited the scorpion den. 

We got to the edge of the Scorpion den, where a vast, lifeless, desert awaited us. I took a few steps into the arid, scorched desert, and I felt completely exposed to the suns rays beating on my scales. 


"Going somewhere?" A voice said.
