💥Blazefire💥

He should have known he couldn't have taken it. Why would he risk himself like that?

I furrow my brows as Valka manages to string one more stitch through his thin scales. Bolt is still out cold with his head limply lying to the side.

Why would they choose to have Darkfang try and keep him from waking?

I glance up at my sister who was staring at Bolt with a very stressed and focused gaze.

She's so hard to read. Why does she keep everything hidden inside? She does everything so calculated while not distracted with a game... I don't trust her with my brothers life.

Valka wraps a finial bandage around Bolts hind leg before carefully picking him up and laying him on a soft blanket. She runs a gentle, knowing hand over him before moving his tail to wrap around himself.

" Should I get Silver?" I ask nothing Darkfang as she grits her fangs together.

After a we seconds her dark eyes turn to me. " If I let go, he's going to be in too much pain to be forced back into sleep." She growls.

" But you seem to be losing your control on him-"

" Blazefire if you continue talking your going to make me mad, and of that happens then we won't be worrying whether he'll stay asleep or not,"

" Blazefire, come here," My father says from behind me. I turn and walk away from my brother to follow my father outside.

" Don't... Bother her. Please," my father says shaking his head. " I see what your getting at. She really should let Silver take over but I think you of all of your sibling know-" He sighs. " I don't know,"

My father is easier to read. When around other dragons he just seems stressed with them, while confused while gazing at us. But sometimes when I see alone, he stares with a blank and confused look. Sometimes he glares angrily at the ground. But rarely do I know why. If I was Silver or Twilight I would be sure to have searched his mind to see what caused his circle of emotions. Though I know he loves us, is mate and Hiccup, I still feel like he's always questioning why.

" Just watch her for me,"

I nod before going back inside. At some point Twilight and Skyress had entered too. I glance at Darkfang who only twitches her ear when one of them speak.

" Who takes care of him when he wakes up?" Twilight asks.

We all look up at Darkfang. After a minute she seems to notice and looks up at us. As the leader she will get the small jobs that come with it.

" Well we have parents for a reason you know," She says picking up on the meaning of our stares.

" oh, yeah. Guess that would work better," Twilight responds. The room is silent the rest of the time we stay there.

We all leave except for Darkfang and my parents. I welcome sleep quickly. I want to wake up for when Darkfang does let Bolt wake.

Hours later I'm woken as my Mother steps into the room, my tail giving the walls an odd orange glow. It never occurred to me that the flame on the end of my tail would light the dark.

She accidentally steps on Darklight's tail as she looks for something. Darklight lets out small cry of pain as he's woken. He had come to sleep with us to ensure to keep us here and calm. Why fang didn't I don't know being that Darklight lives farther from the village. 

Nightholly whispers and apology before moving around him and picking up something before going back out of the room.

I quietly stand and follow her down. Trying to tuck my flaming tail under me to sneak easier as I got down a flight of stairs.

" I need to let go," I hear Darkfang rasp. A deep frown covers my face quickly. Never had I heard such a voice some from a hatchling like myself. She sounded like she Hadn't drunk water in a quarter moon.

Something falls to the floor with a thud. I take a chance and poke my head around the corner. Darkfang was no longer sitting but she was laying in her spot next to Bolt. Toothless quickly grabs her in his talons and starts to move her away before quickly dropping his hatchling. He gasps in pain while clutching one of his paws close.

A shiver runs up my spine at the sight of his paw. There was something wrong about the way the scales lost their sheen and t seemed to hang loose from his leg. I send a glance at my sister seeing the greying floor around her as her abilities over powered her forced control over them.

I look back at my parents to see my father cringing as they both state at his paw. Slowly an odd reflection of the light distorts my sight of his claws. It's gone after a few seconds leaving behind no evidence that my father's paw had been dead to the rest of his body a moment ago.

" How did you," Nightholly started while turning to her mate in confusion.

" I don't know," he cut in moving each of his claws before setting it back on the ground. " She's not strong enough to hold herself back like that. One second longer and see would have killed Bolt," My father whispers.

My mother opens he mouth to respond but stops. I see my mistake in the blurred reflection of the window.

" Blazefire go back to your nest,"

I don't wait to be told twice before running back up the stairs.

" Are you alright?" Nightstar asks.

" No, I'm not," Bolt seems to try to say as nicely as he can but still lets a small growl escaped. 

My father looks down on his blue scaled son in pity as he sets down a plump hare at his side. The sight of my brothers meal makes my stomach growl reminding me that I too am hungry. I turn to exit the home. My exit is only seen by Darkfang as she sinces my presence gone from her side. I walk slowly towards the woods. Birds chip around me and small bugs make their clicking noises. My paws hardly disturb the grass as I walk. The sound of a trickling stream draws me forward. I slowly part the grass to see the pure water that has traveled all the way down the mountain.

Fish like to swim up the fresh water streams and lay their eggs here. And it happened to be the beginning of the season when the fish come. These fish aren't sammon. They are of a species that only can be found on Berk. I wait patiently for one of the green scaled fish to swim close to me. My legs are stiff by the time movement under the water catches my eye. The mossy green scales reflecting the light of the sun. 

I creep slowly forward making sure not to let the fish see my shadow like I have many times before resulting in the escape of my prey. I slowly reach my paw towards the water. In a flash I spear the fish in my claws before flinging it out of the water with a loud screech. I fall to the ground clutching my paw as it sizzles from the water. 

I know I shouldn't let myself touch the water. It burns away my scales and it takes two weeks for the scales to come back. But I never fish around my family. I would be banned from going out of their sight if they knew I hurt myself on purpose just so I could learn how to fish. 

After the throbbing starts to web away I limp over to my catch and pick it up in my jaws only to let it fall back to the ground. Tears fill my eyes as I put my paws over my mouth. That was a stupid move. I should have remembered that water would still be on the fish. 

I pluck some leaves from a very large plant before rolling the fish onto it carefully before making my way officially back to HIccup's.

✨Silver✨

I had followed Blazefire into the forest, tricking his mind into not seeing me. I find it interesting but horrifying what he does just to learn how to do a skill that will be no good to him in his life unless he just want's a fish for whatever reason  only to have to go through pain to get it. After he leaves I turn to go farther into the woods. I wish Skyress was here. She has always been able to navigate the forest with ease. I on the other hand can sometimes get lost easily. I'm sure I had already passed this Oak tree before with it's giant branches spread out like huge wings and its leaves like green scales to catch the wind. 

I hear the thoughts of another dragon very close by. I look around for their owner. The leaves on a giant branch shakes causing me to look up to see Fang. One of his wings are lazily draped over the side of the branch as he sleeps. I stare at the long gash like scars down the length of his dark webbed arms. Darklight had told me once of how he had gotten the scars, well not necessarily how because even he wasn't sure on that, But he did explain why it was so bad that he was injured.  Fang's injury haunts his nightmares. And there are parts of his mind shielded from me. I can't find why Fang has such odd colored scales over his scars. They aren't a lighter shade of black like other scars but they were darker than his normal scales color with blue outlines of each scale like liquid fire had been spread in between them. 

Fang is also more distant than Darklight is. He doesn't like the village much at all Except for the free food and Hiccups home. He will come visit but not for long because he likes leads us out into the forest. But i've also heard that he isn't welcome because of some accident between him and Hiccup. But i'm not very sure.
