(Trigger warning, talk about death!)
I get locked inside again and I kick the cell's wall, I get angry looks from the other women and I feel myself getting small. - I understand that it's upsetting to not being able to be free, but you're going to make it worse by being loud. The girl next to me says and I hiss but sit down against the wall. - I never got your name? I say. - Sera.. she answers and I nod.
- Avira.. I say. - I think we all know.. she speaks weakly.
- What did you actually do to get into this mess? I ask, unsure if it is a good idea to ask.
- Apparently I walked on their place, I was just flying with my dragon and didn't think I would end up here.. - You had a dragon?
I look at her. - Yeah, a razorwhip named Windy.
- What happened to her? - I don't know.. I only remember everything going black, I haven't seen her since.. - Oh.. I say. - But anyways, how are your dragons? - Both are alive, injured but yeah..
- You want to get out, don't you?
- Of course I want, I'm not a person who likes to be locked inside in a cell. I say annoyed.
- We all want to get away.. she stands up and walks over to the wall ish that is keeping us away. - But there are people here that has gotten killed trying to get out, if they find out they'll kill you. I stand up and walk over to her and put my hand through and she puts her in mine.
- I'll do anything to get my dragons away to freedom again, they don't deserve this.
- No one does. Sera says and I nod. I hear screams and me and Sera cover up our ears.
- What the hell? I ask when the screams quit.
- Someone was either killed or tortured.. she answers and I get big eyes. - What?
- Wait, you really thought this is the worst they do here? It's called a torture place for a reason.. I look at her. - Have you been tortured? She nods and takes up her shirt, revealing a big bruise and some cuts.
- They did this just before you got caught. She says, voice harsh. - I'm so sorry.. I say and she shakes her head. - You shouldn't say sorry, the men that did this should.
3 weeks later
After weeks of torture I find the energy to try and get out, if not I fear me and the dragons are going to get killed.
I wake up and feel blood running from my head and I look to my right side and see Sera lay still, crying and shaking. - Sera.. I whisper and she flinches and sits up. I crawl to her and put my hand out for her to take. She smiles slightly and takes it. - I fear I won't have long.. she whispers and tears run down her cheeks.
- You're going to fine, please stay strong.. I say, keeping myself from crying. She coughs up blood and sighs. - I don't care what'll happen with me, get yourself and your dragons out. She gets out and gives me a small smile. - You'll stay alive, I'm not letting you die! I say, actually afraid that a person who I consider my friend is going to die.
- Everyone is going to die Avi, some might die sooner than wanting to.. her voice is weak and cracks sometimes. - But, it's not fair! I hiss and she sighs. - I know girl, but don't think about me, get yourself to safety. She says and tightens her grip on me. - I don't want to loose one of my only friends.. I feel tears down my cheeks. - I know, I don't want to leave you either, but you need to get out of here, I don't want you or your dragons to die because of stuff that's not fair. She says and puts her hand on my cheek and I lean on her hand and close my eyes.
I take her hand and kiss it lightly. She blushes a little. - Please stay with me.. I whisper.
- I'll stay with you in your heart.. she says and I nod softly. She moves a little and manages to sit up. I see her wound and my eyes go cold.
- I can't believe that they can do that to you. I say and she huffs. - You haven't had the best either. She says and looks at my bloody clothes.
I shrug. - They are mostly small ones.. I lie and she sees that in my eyes. - Small ones huh? She wonders and I swallow and nod. I flinch when I hear more screams.
- They really can't stop.. I say and shake my body. She shakes her head. - They like torturing people.. the boss at least. I feel shivers down my back. I hear something fall and look over to see a guard walking out and I can see keys on the ground.
I lift an eyebrow and walk slowly to the door and try to get them. When I get them I open my cell door and open Sera's door too. I help her out of the cells and sneak us out to the dragons and I see no guards. - Why isn't there guards here? I ask. - I don't know.. she answers. -There's no one at work today apparently.. she says after thinking.
- Oh? I ask. - The boss called everyone, except those who were torturing people, to a meeting.
- Aha.. I let her stay at a safe place and run over to my dragons cell and open their door.
- Hey hey, come on. I say and their heads perk up and they look at me. - We need to get away, now. I say and they come out. I remember Thunder's tail and sigh. - How are we getting away if your tail doesn't work? I ask, getting more worried as the minutes pass.
- Something wrong? Sera asks and walks over to us. - Thunder can't fly without another tail-fin.. I say and she goes over to his tail.
- I see.. hm.. she starts to look around and she finds the other part. I breathe out of relief.
I put the fin on and we all run out of the place unnoticed. - Hop on Snow, she's better with new people. I say and she nods and we fly off. We find an island and land.
- Thanks for saving me.. Sera says and I look at her. - I didn't want to let you just die in there. I say and find some stuff for her wound and Snow helps a little. She smiles softly and hugs me. - We'll meet again, I promise. She says and I nod. - I hope so, stay safe..
- You guys too, don't get killed. I laugh and nod before we bid farewell and we fly off.
End of flashback
I gasp when I come back to reality, I realize that I'm crying and I dry my cheeks and eyes and shake my head. "You alright? What happened?" Luna asks. - I just read and remembered what happened to us.. I say and Snow and Thunder put their ears down
"I can't apologize enough for what I did to Snow.." He says and Snow hisses.
"I've told you so many times, it wasn't your fault!" She yells and Thunder sighs.
- You two couldn't do anything else, it's none of yours fault. I say and they nod slowly.
- Do you guys remember Sera? I ask them and they nod, Luna just watch us talk in confusion. - I wonder how she is doing now.. I say.
"She might still be alive, didn't you guys get really close?" - Yeah.. she is the one that got me to understand that I wasn't only interested in boys, you can say she was my first crush.. They smile softly and nudge me sweetly.
I stand up and stretch, then I walk out and look around. I don't see the girl behind me so it's too late when I hear the dragons roar. I get pushed down to the ground and I hiss out of pain. I manage to gather a little strength to roll us over so I can see who the heck attacked me.
I jump backwards shocked when I see the same red eyes I fell for. - Sera? I ask carefully and she sits up and points her sword towards my neck. - How do you know my name? She asks.
- You don't remember? I ask and she looks at me confused. - I'm Avira, the girl you got to know when you were captured.. She gets big eyes. - Avi? She asks and I nod and stand up.
I help her up and she hugs me tightly.
- Oh my god.. you're still alive. She whispers.
- I am, I'm happy to see you're alive too. She smiles. - I am, I got help to survive. I nod happily and take her hands and kiss them softly and she blushes, just like the first time I did that. She hugs me again and I laugh a little. - I didn't know this was where you lived, I'm so sorry. She whispers and I shake my head.
- It's alright girl, I understand. She looks at my eyes and we stare at each other for what feels like forever.
I hear my dragons growl and I look at them.
- Ah, you remember Thunder and Snow right?
She nods and hugs Snow straight away and I smile. She scratches Thunder softly before looking at Luna. - That's their mother, she has been with us for some weeks now. She nods and bows to her. Luna laughs a little and nudges her. - So girl, what have you been up to since we parted? I ask and she shrugs.
- Tried to get over the events that happened and find my dragon..
- Did you find her? - Yeah, she was healthy and alive. She answers and I nod. She yells a name and a razorwhip comes down to us. - She's beautiful. I say and walk over to her, my dragons wanting to meet her too. - She really is, I'm so happy they didn't get her. I look at her and blush a little. - I know how it feels. I say. - Did your wounds heal fully? She asks and I nod.
- They are only scars now, some are more visible of course. - Yeah, same here. She answers.
- You heard what happened to the man? She asks and I nod. - You know who did it? I nod again. - It was you, wasn't it? - Yeah.. I had to get revenge, he had been after me after we got out of there! - Wait what? He didn't let you be? She asks. - Of course he didn't let me be, if it wasn't for my dragons I would be dead.
- He stopped trying to get me, but.. why did he want you that badly? - I think he wanted my dragons, they are all powerful.. I say, not wanting to tell the whole truth with the necklace. She nods a little before taking her arm around my waist and pull me closer before kissing me. I gasp shocked before kissing her back.
She comes back to her senses and pulls away, all red. - I'm so sorry! She starts to mutter and I laugh and hold her close. - It's alright Sera... I say and put my forehead on her's. She smiles and holds around me. The dragons snort a little and we laugh. - I need to go, I'm sorry.. she says and I nod understandably. - I'll see you again, after all, I missed you a lot. She nods and kisses me before quickly leaving.
"So, what are you two now?" Thunder asks.
- I have no idea. I say and laugh.
