TOOTHLESS

"Nightholly he's not breathing."

" What?"

" He's not breathing!" Fang snaps as he stands over Nightstar.

" Nightstar shouldn't have done it I knew something would happen, I've never seen him do that before. " SKyress starts to say in a whine.

" SKyress, stop. Try and think about how you could be useful!" I snap before turning towards my son." Is his heart still beating?"

" Yes but it's extremely fast."

" Would fire healing help?"

" I'm not sure. It works on wounds on the outside but I'm not sure about the inside,"

I jump as a loud sound shakes the air around us. I look up to find the source feeling my blood run cold as I see the next two figures coming forward. It's the fiery doe and next to her another Night fury. That wasn't my concern though. It was the body of my daughter being carried by the male dragon.

Darkfang laying limp as he dragged her by the scruff like she was some piece of prey.

" No!" Nightholly yells tensing to run forward.

I leap forward ramming into my mate to the ground. " Stay down,"

" What do you think you're doing! He killed her! We need-"

" Get off of her!"

Something rams into my side sending me sprawling onto the ground. I try to get up put am pinned almost instantly by Night, Nightholly's father.

" You never touch her like that! You don't harm your mate!" he snarls at me.

" I didn't do anything! I can't let her die because she ran to her dead hatchling!"

" She's your hatchling too!"

" That's how I don't believe she's dead dim whit. I don't truly believe she can die."

" What is wrong with you! All dragons die!"

I push him away with my claws. Flipping over ready to go after NIghtholly again who had already started racing away. Claws dig into my shoulders sending me back to the ground. I screech reaching my head back to clamp Night's leg in my jaw. He lets go with his claws to claw at my strong jaw.

" Mother! No!" Skyress yells out going after Nightholly.

The distraction gives Night a chance to send a blow that puts me in a slight daze. He pins be again with me facing his under belly. I use my hind claws to dig into his softer scales. I lets out a cry of pain before rearing up to get out of reach.

" Stop!" Blazefire yells trying to get between us. I push him aside to get at my attacker. "Dad! Stop!"

" Night!" Moonflower snaps coming in between us just as Night moves to make an attack on me. He misses and hits his mate causing her to fall to the ground. His anger melts away as he realizes what he has done.

" Moonflower!" He cries out.

"Look at them. See how one by one they are tearing each other apart. "

StarNight drops Death one. " Was this your plan from the beginning?"

" No, but it's working quite fine." Goldensun says with a mild smile. " You have succeeded in killing their leader. They and their kin are tearing each other apart. Watch as the eldest one mourns over his fallen mate. His mate he killed with his own claws. Your pair as killed himself by saving a pitiful human."She laughs. " Now we wait for the last stragglers to come to their senses s they can realize they have doomed their race into extinction and given me the world to rule.

Starnight gives her a glance " Am I not part of their race?"

" No Starnight. You are not a Pure,"

Starnight doesn't give any indications of any change in emotion as he turned back to watch the blood spill in front of him. He sits and wraps his tail around his paws while giving a side glance at the female he had dropped on the ground. Starnight didn't know who she was or how he knew her name. Just that he was ordered that she was to be taken care of. And that's what he did. But it was odd that she didn't seem to fear fear him at all while he attacked. It was unlike any of his other victims.

But all that matters is that he finds his prey before retrieving it and bringing it back to his master.

...but Starnight still felt there was something wrong with the situation once he had appeared in it. He felt happy at the sight of her but felt much less accomplished like he normally did when assassinating his other prey.
