Stinger wondered how long he’d be stuck in the orphanage. 'Till the day I die,' apparently, he grumped to himself. Nobody wanted a Speed Stinger. Especially one with weird features, such as a nose horn and- get this- wings. Things no Speed Stinger should have. 'But I have, for some reason.' Stinger looked at the food counter for something sweet- which, to his luck- there was. A small cookie, maybe a sugar cookie. He grabbed it, and he was about to take a bite until he remembered his mom. 'No sugar. Nothing sugary.' Spine finally stopped running to take a short break. She'd been running for an hour or two- she didn’t know. All she knew is that she couldn’t stop for long. 'It's almost morning- that's bad. Thank goodness I’m so far already- imagine what my parents would do if they figured out.' She looked at her hands- so much power stored in them. All she had to do was say ‘I enchant-’ and she could do anything. Except bring people back from the dead. Animus magic was feared by all Nadder’s- she’d be lucky if her own parents accepted her. 'That's why i’m running,' she reminded herself. 'To keep myself safe.' Camo slumped into his bed. His near broken bed- it really needed to be replaced. He heard his sister playing video games in her room. He wished he had the confidence to ask to play with her, but she would almost certainly say no. And even if she said yes, his parents would separate them in about five seconds anyway. 'Because I’m such a useless dragon.' “CAMO!! GET YOUR BUTT IN HERE AND CLEAN UP THIS MESS!! I KNOW YOU MADE IT, SO DON’T EVEN TRY TO DENY IT!!!” He sighed. 'Two seconds back and I’m already in trouble,' his mind huffed. “Coming, mom,” 'I know Acid made the mess. Probably just to make me clean it up. But no matter how many times I say she made it, it’ll always be my fault.' Slowly, he got up and began walking into the living room. 'Maybe one day they’ll treat me fairly. But not today. Not anytime soon.' Spike opened the door to his apartment. He looked around. 'Mom’s not home yet. Must be drinking hard.' “SPIKE!” His sister, Laser, yelled, giving him a hug. “Hey, sis.” he replied,warmly. “Your day ok?” she asked. “Yeah. Stinger still didn’t show up, though,” “Aw. I wonder what happened,” 'Me too,' Spike thought. Stinger had just stopped showing up one day. No reason, just stopped. And he hadn’t ever run into him on his way home, which just made things weirder- they used to always run into each other, even when they weren’t trying to. “Um...is your nose ok…?” Lazer asked. “Yeah… I mean, it’s better. Not bleeding,” he chuckled. 'Which it shouldn’t have been in the first place,' his mind growled. Suddenly, the door burst open. Spike jumped. 'Mom’s home. Yay.'
