Kate: A Time Of Healing

I hobbled as fast as I could to Harpa's dragon hospital. Despite all of my pains, I needed to see my best friend. I made it inside Harpa's hospital without falling, which was good, and rushed to the front desk collapsing on top.

"Do....You....Know...where.....a dark blue Nadder with a lighter pink underbelly is?" I rasped struggling to sit upright. Rita rushed to my side and lifted me upright, I smiled and then waited for a response

"Yes, he is two doors to the left." The older lady said in one of those weird grouchy voices. I thanked her and hobbled to the door. I pushed it open, the scene pulled at my heart. Stormslicer lay on a cushioned ground, bandages every was. His horn was wrapped and another one of his crown spikes was cracked. I rushed to his side and stroked his head and whispered

"Its ok boy, even though you are broken on the outside and inside.  You will heal, you and me both will heal together." tears formed in my eyes but I quickly wiped them away so Rita didn't see. Slicer was breathing heavily, but despite his pains, he lifted his weary head and placed it in my lap. He opened his yellow Nadder eyes and looked up at me, what I saw in his eyes was, failure. I placed my hand on his head and said,

"You didn't fail me.  You were protecting me but that big brute of a dragon had you cornered.  It's not your fault.  You didn't fail me or dad.  And everybody is safe." I said lovingly to him. I kissed his horn. He closed his eyes and fell back into a slumber. I stared at him for a while, thinking of all the good times we had together.

(Flashback to when Stormslicer was young but not full grown.)

I grabbed my stick and put on my father's helmet. I tied my shoes and painted a symbol on Stormslicer. I then hopped on his back and yelled

"INTO BATTLE" As I nudged Stormslicers sides he galloped off towards my father.

" Oh Ho ho looky here someone to steal my treasure," My father said trying to impersonate a big giant who was guarding his treasure. I giggled a little and responded

" I have come to take your treasure." I muffled from inside the helmet. I tried to hop off Stormslicer but the helmet shifted to the side of my small head and then, BLOP, I fell off stormslicer and onto the soft ground. I giggled as Stormslicer stomped up to me licking my face after the helmet fell off. My father then came and started to tickle me

"AHahAHA I HAVE GOT YOU." My father said tickling me until I cried tears of laughter.

(END OF FLASHBACk)

As I came out of my flashback I felt a small tap on my shoulder, it was Harpa

"Hi Kate, Stormslicer will be ok.  I think you need to rest and go home. I will take Stormslicer to you later today ok?"

"OK, Harpa thanks," I said as I tried to sit up, with a little bit of difficulty I sat up and hobbled out with Rita. On the way home, we talked about things and Rita started to talk about Aidan but I didn't respond about that. When we finally made it back up to the clubhouse I received a very warm welcome from everybody

"Glad to have you back," said Aidan, I smiled and nodded and continued to answer more questions from Aud, Isla, and Kat. Then Rita shooed everybody out of the clubhouse so that we could talk. Everybody else did their own thing. After our talk and everybody else came back Rita and Aud said that they had to go looking for their father. I hugged both of them and rasped my goodbye. After they left I was alone in the clubhouse, which felt weird. I decided to try and find Devil. I hobbled around looking for him and Sniper, as I hobbled into my room I found them both laying asleep on my bed. They looked so cute, I yawned and decided I had some spare time and joined them on the bed and fell asleep.

(In my dream)

"I am sorry Kate, Stormslicer....." Harpa turned her head away, I shook my head and rasped

"No, No it's not true he is a fighter he is alive I tell you," I said as I hobbled off towards the landing pad and jumped on to the now full grown devil. Devil flew me to the hospital were Slicer should have been. But the place was empty with no dragon there.

(Dream ends)

I bolted upright sweating, I glanced over at Devil

"''Still an immature baby, Phew, Stormslicer...." '' I tried to glance over were Stormslicer would be sleeping but he wasn't there. My heart felt like it stopped, but then I remembered

"He is still at Harpa's." I breathed a sigh of relief and fell back to sleep.

LATER THAT DAY

I woke up later as the sun was high in the sky and Devil and Sniper were wrestling on the floor. I sat up out of bed and hobbled towards the kitchen to eat an apple. As I hobbled into the pantry and grabbed an apple I heard little  Clinch clinch *Pause* Clinch clinch  I hobbled out of the panty and Stormslicer and Harpa greeted my eyes. I was over the moon as I hobbled towards my dragon as he hobbled towards me. We met in the middle and I wrapped him into a hug. He lay his head against my back. We stayed there for just a moment happy just to be together again. I felt his scales on my hands and felt his love seeping through me. After that Harpa told me to take it easy, both of us, and to try and get his strength back. I agreed and I hopped on Stormslicer and headed towards the Bewilderbeast. Slicer was a little wobbly and we almost went down a couple times but he held up. As he flew I looked around at all of the lights and took a breath. The cold air felt nice. All of a sudden Slicer started to head downwards.

"What is it boy, steady, steady," I said, I looked down and saw Aidan and Roel. I saw why Stormslicer was going down. I took out my longsword as Slicer landed Sniper landed on my shoulder and bared his teeth. I walked to Aidan and this other girls side and rasped

"You thought you could get rid of me? I am here strong and ready you can never beat me." I rasped threateningly Stormslicer walked closer to me and bared his teeth, he opened his spikes and tried to move forward. I stopped him, Roel and his dragon flew away after that. "Phew, thank Thor he's gone," Aidan said out loud, then he sighed. I looked at Canela, and Canela looked at me. "''Ohhhh this must be Canela, she looks really pretty.  I wonder were her dragon is?" '' I thought

"Oh, you two are finally going to meet. Kate, this is Canela. Canela, this is Kate." Aidan introduced the both of us.

"This is the Canela girl you were talking about in the hospital?" I questioned. He looked over at Canela, and she was already looking over at me. Aidan forced a laugh.

"Huh, it's not what it seems''..." ''He said to Canela.

"Okay then... whatever you say, Aidan. Nice to meet you Kate, as Aidan has said, I'm Canela. I met Aidan a long time ago, 8 years ago to be exact. I guess you're the Guardian that Aidan mentioned to me about." Canela said to me. Aidan looked over at me and I was already looking over at me. I, once again, forced a laugh.

"I swear, it's not what it seems..." I said again. Thor this didn't go to plan. 

"Umm... Canela, aren't you supposed to be with my aunt and Alice?" I asked her.

"I am, but I decided to take a breather, and ended up finding you." Canela explained.

"Take a breather? Why what's happening?" He then questioned her.

''"Nothing much, it's just that your sister is asking me a lot of questions, questions about us." ''Canela responded with. Aidan once again forced a laugh.

"'Oh yeah, your sister and aunt, how are they holding up?"'  I then questioned.

 "Good, everything's holding up good. I think Alice is the biggest shipper I know. Which is unlucky for me. Anyway, Canela, I think you should head back to them, while we go back to the Guardian clubhouse." Aidan then said. Canela went her way, back to Aidan's aunt and sister, Alice, while Aidan and I flew back to the clubhouse. After we got back to the clubhouse we had a mini meeting

''"I got it! Okay, we sneak up on Roel..." ''Aud said.

"Yeah..." we all replied with, we were intrigued.

"Then we capture him..." Aud added.

"Yeah..." we all said, sounding more intrigued.

"Then we let him get eaten by the Bewilderbeast!" Aud finished.

"Noooo! That's a bad plan, we're not doing that!" everyone, but Isla, shouted.

"Remember, Roel's smart. If we want to defeat him, it's gonna have to be a tactical plan." Aidan explained to everyone.

"Yeah, he is way to smart he covers almost every weakness," I whispered

"Well he's not so smart in messing with the wrong kids." Isla passionately said.

"I guess there is that..."  I responded. After more insane plans, we all stopped talking about Roel and went our own ways. I went into my room, I was exhausted and I could tell Stormslicer was too,  I decided to have some fun so I grabbed my pillow and blanket and layout on the landing,  Stormslicer curled around me and lay his wounded wing around me and placing his head next to me. We both drifted off into a dreamless sleep. Sniper on my chest and Slicer nere me. What more could I need?
