(Adventures In Myth) Gryphons war, book 1 Gone missing, chapter 12

                                CHAPTER 12 HONEY

                “wake UP!” Some one yelled in Honey’s ears, Honey groaned. “Oh I new that would work!” said a familiar voice, Honey opened her eyes and saw a familiar brown pelted owl gryphon… Bark-Fur?! She realized, she would have said something if there wasn’t a metal bond around her beak. She tried to pry it off but it was no use. “Don’t even try, I’ve tried as well, nothing works…” Bark-Fur told her, Honey cocked her head, what did she mean by she tried when she didn’t have one? “Oh, in case your wondering why I don’t have a bond is because ya’know-“ she pointed to her beak “-Tiny owl beak! Take that dragons!” there was loud banging on the cell, then a very angry Lava-Scale appeared in front of the cell bars, “shut your beak or I’ll burn it off!” he said. “geeze! Mr. grumpy feathers! Or should I say scales? Never mind! Anyway… where was I?” Bark-Fur asked. “Oh! Yeah, that over there is Rain, he doesn’t do much but lay until they take us out or bring us food…” Rain let out a long moan from somewhere in the shadows. Honey wished she could talk! She had so many questions… “and this is Rose” Bark-Fur answered for a pinkish-orange colored cub, she had red tinted ears and paws. Rose had a bond around her beak too, was Bark-Fur the only owl gryphon? Or was the others too frightened to talk? Rose looked like she wanted to talk just as much as Honey did, how long had it been since she was taken? All eyes turned toward dragons dragging a white and grey Snow Tribe cub, the cub was struggling but wasn’t nearly as strong as the two Mud-Claws who were dragging him. Bark-Fur padded over to her “I know what you might be thinking, why is there more teens? The answer is… I don’t know, they take Blizzard allot, all I know is they interrogate the teens” she paused before continuing “you may also be wandering why they need us, all I know is if the teens won’t tell them anything they threaten them with us” Rose shuttered and Rain whimpered. That’s when Honey got a better look at Rain, only his face but it was enough to tell her why he seemed so scared, one of his eyes had a claw mark and his right eye was covered with white cloth. When the cell door creaked open, and when a Dart-Tail and the Lava-Scale from earlier stalked into the cell, all the cubs including Honey began to back away.

                They stalked over to the cubs, Rain was crying In the dark corner and Rose went over to comfort him. That’s when the Dart-Tail took out a metal caller with a chain connected to it. They walked over muttering how they were going to enjoy this, and put the caller on Bark-Fur, and she just let them! Bark-Fur must have saw Honey’s worried expression because she said “don’t worry about me” but Honey wasn’t going to believe it. Instead she rammed into Bark-Fur, pulled on the chain, and sat down, giving the dragons her most deadliest glare. “Honey what was that for?!?” Bark-Fur asked her face lit with worry as the dragons took of the metal caller, whispering to each other about taking her instead. They clamped It onto Honey’s neck and tugged, “Honey…” Bark-Fur said, didn’t she appreciate this at all? wasn’t she tired of it happening to her? Honey thought as they led her out of the cell and forced her down the hall.

                The two dragons opened an iron door exposing Blizzard with metal bonds around his neck, talons, and hind paws. The bonds had chains connected to the floor. Blizzard’s worried expression was beyond imagination as the Dart-Tail grabbed two smaller bonds, they made a click sound when they where clamped onto Honey’s talons and hooked to the floor. The Fire-Scale hooked the chain from her neck bond onto the wall, and walked out the room. “Now” the dragon said, grabbing Honey’s face and putting a claw slightly above her left eye, “Tell me how your gaining more and more gryphons, when you should have many wounded!” then he added “or this cub, Honey, that’s your name right?” Honey stayed quiet and he said “I’ll start by scraping Honey’s left eye. Then gouging her right with a spike!” then he lifted his tail, he was clearly being serious. Blizzard cleared his throat, “we DO have lots of wounded gryphons…” Honey screeched when the Dart-Tail scraped her eye with one claw, it stung like a thousand needles stabbing her eye then being pulled out. Blizzard whimpered when Honey struggled to lift her chained talons to her face, tugging on the bonds. “That’s not what I asked for” the Dart-Tail said, his tongue slithering in and out, “now are you ready to cooperate?”
