I woke up when I heard a scream. A scream of someone fangirling. As I opened my eyes, I saw, a woman standing over me, cooing and awwing. I tilted my head in a confused manner, that's when I saw what she was making a fuss about, Luke and I were sleeping, next to each other. She reached down to pet me, I put up with it, not wanting to wake up Luke, till she pressed extremely hard on my back, causing me to shriek out in pain. That really hurt! This then caused Luke to wake up. He shot to his feet, snarling at the woman, his wings spread over me. The woman slowly stepped away, showing she meant no harm. I roared out in pain again, it was really hurting! This caused Luke to growl louder, waking Draco and Ben up. Ben flew down to help me, where Draco started to help Luke attack the woman. "Where does it hurt?"
Everywhere, but mainly my back.
"Ok, what did that person do?"
She was stroking me, then pressed down, extremely hard, on my back. I screamed out again as a wave of pain flooded through me. Ben started to try and calm me, while Luke and Draco attacks grew more fierce, they were causing her to bleed, her cloves almost being ripped to shreds, Luke was doing the most damage, he was attacking, again and again, the poor woman would not last long. "Luke, Draco, stop, she has suffered enough." I weakly called out to him. They turned to face me, stopping their attack, the woman, using the distraction, ran, exiting the room.
They ran over to me, Luke nuzzling my snout and Draco sitting by me. They slowly tried to lift me, but it only caused me more pain, so they quickly stopped. There was the sound of arguing, but that was normal, the people who stayed outside the door always, always, argued. But this was different, the door was opened and they came running in, running straight over to us. They reached for me but was held back by the boy's growls/tweets. They then reached forwards but distracted the boys first. They got hold of me, causing a whimper to escape my lips. This only aggravated the boys more, as they soon had to be pinned down, a guard to each of them. I was carried out of the room, as the boys where left pinned against the floor. They where being careful not to hurt them, even Ben, but that did not stop the trio from hurting the guards. By the time I lost sight of them, the guards were covered in scratches, this would normally have made me laugh, but I was not up to it, it would have hurt. They carried me out the door, closing it as they left, locking the other guards with the boys, Bad luck for them. As they turned down the corridor, I saw Hitler standing against the wall, a smirk spread across his face. He nodded towards one of the others who then called for, part B? Whatever that means. As I was carried down the corridor, I heard even more commotion, soon followed by Luke roars of anguish. They had taken him! He was part B!
They carried the two of us to a medical room, where we were locked into two separate, airtight, glass boxes. I looked at Luke, knowing that my frill had turned green. Green with fear. This was only rivalled by the mist that soon was added to our boxes. I let out a fear-filled roar, as it covered Luke from view, soon, all I could see was green. This lasted for a few seconds, before my eyelids grew heavy, closing over my eyes. It was soon black!
I soon found myself waking from this state, clutching onto a heat source. I snuggled closer into this heat source. Moaning when it started to wiggle. Wait! Wiggle, heat sources don't wiggle! I slowly opened my eyes, to see that I was clutching onto Luke. He seemed fine, except for the small bandage on his front right leg. Only then did I feel the bandage that was wrapped around my midsection and the one around my hind leg. Luke was not waking up, so I wiggled more into his grip so that my head was next to his. I slowly started to nuzzle my head against his, causing his breath to quicken. He slowly opened his eyes, staring into mine. He slowly rubbed his head against mine, in a reassuring, I'm-not-dead, kind of way.
The door slowly opened, a few guards walked into the room, then followed shortly by Hitler. It was one of those moments where you would expect there to be music playing, announcing the arrival of the villain, in booming beats. But there was no music, there was only the eerie calmness, a calmness that followed Hitler around, like he had no fear, like he was immortal. He walked over to the glass cage we were laying in. I snuggled further into Luke's side, trying to gain some sort of comfort. Luke noticed this, so laid his wing over me, covering me from view. I did gain some comfort from this, but I could still see them approaching. Luke started to growl, not allowing them to get any closer. I tucked my head away, trying to block it all out. As an attempt to calm myself, I started to listen to Lukes heartbeat. It was fast, like action-packed music. Suddenly, Luke has moved away, from me. I stared up at the guards, deciding that enough was enough. As they reached forwards to grab me, I swung my talons out. Pain flared from my stomach, by this only added to my adrenaline. I swung out again, causing blood to drip from the guard's hands. Several more tried to grab me, but all failed, ending up with blood on their arms. I felt something rip, then some warm liquid running down my legs, I had pulled stitches I did not know I had. Hitler called something out, before walking forwards. Only, he was not the only one who walked forwards. One of the guards walked forwards with Luke in his hands. Luke was laying in the guard's arms, tied up, staring at me with fear filled eyes. Hitler used Luke as a distraction to get a guard to grab me. They held me so tight, that it was causing pain. They took the bandage of me, then started to painfully redo the stitches. When this was over the wrapped my midsection again, giving me some sort of drug, making me feel weaker. They started to walk us back to our little room.
They placed us on the floor, just inside the room, before slamming the door and locking it. Luke walked up to me, giving me some support. We slowly walked to the small lake, spotting Ben and Draco sleeping next to the small trees. When they heard us stumble into the clearing they woke up, running straight over. They kept asking questions, but all I heard was mumbling. My eyelids were growing heavy again. I rested my head against Luke's shoulder. Before I realised, I was asleep.
*****
I heard Gems' breaths slow down, indicating that she had fallen asleep. The others must have also noticed because they went quiet. I grabbed her in my arms and flew up to the nest, placing her gently in it. I flew back down, landing in front of the pair. I was starting to feel tired, but I tried to ignore it, though the sun being up was not helping that. They started to ask me more questions, keeping their voice down but quickly stopped when I kept nearly nodding off. One of the times I even face-planted the floor, but that did not keep me awake. They quickly told me to go get some rest, they could see that I needed it.
*****
I woke up gripping onto a heat source, it was so warm! I cuddled in closer to it, only then could I make out what the scent was, it was Luke. I was then pulled in close to him, he had his arms around me, holding me close. I rested my head against his chest, drifting back to sleep.
When I woke back up, Ben and Draco were staring at me. I felt something around me when looking down, I saw that Luke still had hold of me. "How are you not reacting to this more, even when you first woke up earlier?" Draco asked me. I felt my cheeks heat up, that gave them their answer, as they started to laugh, though keeping to a whisper. Dam you cheeks!
"Yes, I have slept with him before, like this, curled into his grip, twice even." I emitted to them. They both did something that looked like an attempt at wiggling their eyebrows. I shook my head at their childish behaviour, then a let lose a big yawn.
I then woke up next, when Luke woke up. I saw him look down at me, a smile forming on his snout. "We had visitors earlier," I told him.
"Who was it?" He asked me.
"Ben and Draco. Nothing out of the normal." I replied he nodded his head. "What did Hitler want with us, he needs to be named monster!" I then asked.
"When I was working as a scientist, we did give him the names 'Monster, He Who must not be named' that was funny, but then we thought that it was mean, to Voldemort, then lastly, 'Satan' that is what they are calling him now. I don't know why he took us, it may be to see if we were well." Luke replied. I shook my head, then said,
"No, when he caught sight of me, he smirked, then called for you. You were part B." He face dulled, he then turned his head towards the door and growled,
"He said he would never do that! He has grown even sicker!!"
"What was that plan?" I asked Luke.
"Best if the others heard as well." He replied. I slowly got out of his grasp, then went to leap from the tree to the grass, but Luke blocked me with his tail. "Don't want to pull your stitches," he said, shaking his head. He then reached forwards and picked me up. Humiliating.
We then walked over to Draco and Ben. When they were waking up, Luke told us all to sit down, as he knows what they took us for. "They planned this months ago if a 'pair' did appear. But it was outvoted, thought to be erased from exitance. But Hitler will always keep his copy." He started, "I hoped they never used the plan, I was in the group that voted against it. They brought it back. It was to 'help' a pair along. They would take both of them in, before giving them this medicine, a medicine they called Boseache. When naming it they did not like it. It meant 'Nasty (another word for bum). But the name stuck, so we kept the rude name. Hitler then named it, so when he was around, 'Helfende Hand', 'Helping Hand'. It stimulates the perfect time for each gender. They said that it was to 'build' the bond. But we all saw that it really meant, babies." He explained.
"SAY WHAT NOW?!?!?!!?!!!" I shouted.
"Yeah, it's what it was designed for." "They first made it for you! Hitler thought something special would happen, so he ordered all these to be made. He saw something different in you. Like how your pattern turned different, something he had briefly saw in me, only you had it stronger." Luke then added. This was all too much, I curled myself into a ball, shaking. I felt someone come over, but I kept the tail over my eyes. "Gems, it's ok. We will get through this." Luke whispered to me, laying next to me. I curled up more in response.
*****
I turned to face Draco and Ben. We all shared a look of not knowing what to do. I looked back at Gems, she was curled up, shaking, her back facing the three of us, she was trying to hide her face, she thought it was her fault. I reached my arms out, pulling her across the damp grass. I laid my head on the grass, showing I give her full support. She shifted her weight, so she head her between my arms. I rolled myself onto my side, so she moved her head onto my chest. Hey, this was not your fault! He would do this anyway, he lost his patience. You could hear from the guards, those shouting competitions was them debating over who tells Hitler that you don't have children. He is determined to see if us dragons can. I called to Gems only.
"Thanks, I think?" I heard her think, giggling slightly. I felt her wiggle into my grip more. "You are warm." She then added. I sighed and shook my head.
"Is she feeling better, we both heard her laugh?" Draco asked me. I raised my head, to face them, and replied,
"I told her that it was not her fault, also went on how Hitler is... OWW!" Gems had smacked me in the head. She shook her finger at me. "I explained it in a funny way," I said. Draco took that as his answer, because he walked off to under the two trees, and fell asleep. Ben went off to whatever he normally does, annoying noise maker or something. He even knows the noise is annoying! I went to stand up, but I felt Gems try to pull me back down.
"Stop moving!" She thought at me. I reached my arms out, then placed her onto my back. I get to move, she gets a heat source, win-win. Though she won it more. I slowly walked over to the pond, then crouched down to take a drink. I heard Ben laugh at me. I then walked off to get some food, giving Gems the mango slices from the bowl by the door, it must be an apology, only it was tiring trying to get that far. I went and sat under the moon again, but Gems was blocking most of it from me! I placed her next to me, on the grass. I saw that her eyes were closed and her breath was slow, she had fallen asleep. That was how they were preventing her from pulling her stitches.

I was walking across a grassy meadow when I saw the sky darken. I ran for cover in the trees, but they stayed so far away. I tried to fly, but I kept falling, no matter how much I tried. The rain poured down, hammering down on me, pain flared from everywhere. I glanced down at my wings, but they were falling apart, burning. I let loose a roar that shook my bones. I carried on running, tears mingling with the raindrops. The ground beneath me, I slipped down, covering myself in mud. As my feet touched the ground, I carried on running. The trees, they seemed so far away. I had never felt so much fear, it drove me wild, I just wanted to get away. Pain shot from my talons, when I looked down, I saw my claws fall off. Lightning struck just to the side of me, searing the ground. I carried on running for the trees, the trees that held my salvation. I saw the moon shining on the trees, but they were out of my reach. I was sliding around the place, the floor was becoming waterlogged, it could not take much more. Suddenly my feet gave way beneath me, I fell head first into a lake.
I shot to my feet, gasping for breath. I was shaking so much I fell to my knees. I felt tears run down my snout, splashing onto the ground. When I looked around, I was in a glass cage. I would not even of been able to open my wings, there was so little room. I heard the door open, Luke walking in, only he was. Human?!! He walked over to me, he mouth moved, but I did not hear what human Luke said, I heard dragon Luke talk. "Gems, you're ok! It's just a dream, just a nightmare! Wake up!"
I opened my eyes, grabbing onto Luke who was stood kneeling next to me. After a moment, I then started to check Luke, making sure that he was real. Once I saw that he was real, did I calm down. I rested my head against his shoulder, letting my tears dry. "Gems, what did you dream about? Something that you had to make sure I was real!" Luke asked me.
"I was walking through a grassy meadow when it started to get cloudy, so I headed for tree cover. Something told me I had to get to cover, I don't know what." I started.
"That does not seem so bad?" Draco interrupted.
"Yeah, then it turned dark. The heavens opened up, so I tried to fly, but again and again, I could not get off the ground. My whole body was hurting from this rain. I looked at my wings, they were falling apart, like they were set on fire. I carried on running, then I felt more pain, then saw my claws fall off." I continued.
"Ok, that got deep," Draco stated. I continued,
"I kept slipping, I was covered in mud, I was crying at this point, but it mingled in with the rain. Then a lightning bolt struck next to me, bearly missing me. The ground was becoming waterlogged, forming into a swamp like thing. I then tripped, falling headfirst into a lake. I woke up."
"Is that it?" Luke asked me. I shook my head, then replied,
"No, what I woke up to, was still the nightmare. I woke up to a glass cage, one that I could not stretch my wings in. The door to the room opened. Luke, you walked in, but you were human. You started to say something, but I did not hear. That's where you tried to wake me, I heard your voice instead of human Luke."
"Ok, let's get you a drink," Luke said, helping me towards the lake.
I must emit, that drink did help calm my nerves. I saw that the moon was very low in the sky, that we will soon be singing The Moon's lullaby. We just sat on the grass staring at the sky, I rested my head on Luke's shoulder. When the time came, I went to jump into the air, But Luke held me down by his wings. He wrapped his tail round mine. when the song finished, despite his tiredness, Luke picked me up and placed me into the nest. Once I was in, he then climbed in next to me. I fell asleep curled into Lukes grip.
