Hunter snorted. “Whatever.” She didn’t want Kye to meet her father. She wasn’t easily scared, but her father terrified her in a way almost nothing else did.

"Come on, let's get that key and get out of here," Kye sighed before moving forward again. He steered them around some traps and then stopped them. He slowly turned to look at Hunter something in different in his eyes. "Didn't Order say something about dragons?" he spoke softly and slowly.

“Yes, she did,” Hunter said warily. “Why do you ask?”

"Because something is hovering just above us. And it's breathing," Kye breathed. "And something tells me that it isn't friendly." Something suddenly flashed down smacking Kye and sending him flying. A huge dragon dropped down in front of Hunter growling. Kye had hit a stalagmite and slid to the ground coughing. The dragon placed itself between the two people.
"Hunter," the dragon growled, it's tail whipped out as it looked Hunter in the eyes. "Princess Hunter. I wonder what your father would do if he knew that his most precious pawn was dead." It's growl filled the cavern and it's tail circled around behind Hunter.

Hunter laughed harshly. “He would probably kill you. You should know, Jax. You know how he is. If you harm one hair of my head, he will nmurder every single one of your kind.” She clenched her fists. “And while I hate him, I would laugh as I watched you get torn to pieces.”

"But you wouldn't be able to would you?" the dragon stalked around looking at Hunter through narrow eyes. "You would be dead. But don't want you to just die, that would be to nice. I want you to ssssuffer." It turned and looked at Kye, who was struggling to his feet. "You're feelings for this boy should be enough to make you feel pain."
Kye looked at the dragon, it was blurry. Everything was blurry. One of his ribs was broken, and he hit his head. The dragon looked back at Hunter. "And you won't be able to do anything to stop me will you?" The dragon hissed as it twisted sickly around Hunter. It's nose brushing the arm that had the snake around it. "Your friend won't let you hurt family will it?"

Hunter rolled her eyes. “You’re not family. You’re a pet.” She spat the word angrily. She raised her sleeve to get her snake and bit her lip in frustration. It clearly didn’t want to fight. It was small and not moving. “Guess I’ll have to do this myself.”

"You won't be doing anything," the dragon snarled, and somethings suddenly grabbed Hunter and held her down. "You're going to watch while I take the only thing you ever had feelings for even slightly, and I rip it away from you." It turned on Kye and charged.
"Oh, shit!" Kye snapped as fire shot towards him. A purple barrier shot up and surrounded Kye causing the fire to disperse around it.
How on Earth Did you manage to piss off something you haven't even ever talked to before?
Raw talent…?
Well just do me a favor and Do not die.
"No promises," he spat leaping out of the way and trying to disappear in the shadows. Unfortunately the dragon easily followed. "Shit. Shit. Shit!" he bounced around, like a jack rabbit that had been stung by a bee, as he dodged the dragons attacks. "You know, Hunter, whenever you feel like jumping and helping. I won't complain about getting saved by a girl."

Hunter scowled. She closed her eyes for a moment, and then when she opened them, they were glowing gold. She was almost vlinded by the barrage of golden sparks that were everywhere, pitting the weaknesses in everything in sight, and even some that weren’t. “Leave. Him. Alone,” she said, voice a deadly calm. She whirled around and jabbed her thumb at the thing holding her. It collapsed with a tortured scream and she moved towards the dragon, watching. She could hit him in the wing first. It would cause pain. She would torture him until he was begging for death, and she would not give it to him. Ever. Of her father wanted her to be a ruthless killer, she would be ruthless. But not a killer. This scum didn’t deserve death.

The dragon didn't pay attention to Hunter, it merely chased after Kye crashing through the cave breaking anything that got in it's way. "Stop moving and let me kill you," it hissed. Kye spun around suddenly and faced the dragon. He had his dagger in his hand and it was already lit.
"Alright," he shouted, sweat gleamed on his forehead, and his eyes sparked with something that looked dangerous. "You want me? Well," he spread his arms out. "Here I am. Come and get me if you can." He spun on his heel and started sprinting forward.
Kye, that is one of those trap thingies…
I know.
And you're headed right for it…?
Yeah, just trust me okay?
Not to be mister doom and gloom but you are not fast enough to get past that thing before it shoots out. Do you want me to put up a shield-
No! If the dragon sees the shield it will instantly know what is happening and it will pull bac-. The dragon slashed out hitting Kye and throwing him sideways. Kye hit the wall and slid to the ground, he felt another rib snap as he'd hit the wall.
Kye get up and move.
It was to late. The dragon slammed one of it feet down on Kye causing him to let out a cry of pain. With an evil grin the dragon turned to look at Hunter. "What's the matter Hunt-" he stop and fear flashed in his eyes when he saw Hunter coming towards him.

Hunter smirked. “What? Afraid of a little girl?” Lithe as a cat, she lept lightly onto the dragon’s back. With a sweet smile, she pinched one of the membranes on his wing. There was a loud snap and the wing went limp. She did that to the other wing, and then jumped lightly down, elbowing the dragon in the leg. More snaps and cracks. She moved slowly across the dragon, neatly breaking every single one of its bones in the calm way she had whenever she was using her ability. She didn’t harm any of the internal organs. Not enough to be be fatal, but enough to be painful.

The dragon howled in pain and pulled back swiping at her before falling down and letting out a whimper. Kye groaned and tried pulling himself up. he was only barely successful, and he was staggering slightly, but he wasn't dead. "You think that keeping me alive will cause me more pain. Wrong. If you leave me alive It will only ensure that I will come after you again, and again and again," the dragon hissed. It was in far more pain than it wanted to let on.

“Sounds good to me,” Hunter said, smirking at him. “Now, you just wait until you heal, and the you can come after me. Okay? Not before. Doctor’s orders.”

She walked over to Kye. It was blinding, the lights that covered him, both inside and out. Hunter closed her eyes, and when she opened them, they were back to their normal blue. She hauled him up and put his arm around her shoulders. “Whose the hurt one now?” She asked, smirking slightly.

"Ow," Kye grunted as Hunter dragged him up. "You are not gentle, at all. At least I was nice enough to not try and hurt you more."
The dragon glared at Hunter and Kye through the slits of it's eyes. "You may think you have won little princess. But you haven't even come close. I was only the first. You should have just let me do what I was going to do. I was going to be merciful and give you both swift ends. The others will not be like that."

Hunter ignored the dragon, but as she passed it, she kicked it swiftly in the jaw.

“Yeah, well this is payback for all those times you tried to ask me what was wrong, so shut up.” But she helped him along more gently.

"Sure," Kye gave a half smile.
Cutting it a little to close for my comfort, there kid.
Everything is to close for your comfort.
You aren't the only one who will die, if you die.
That's the only reason I'm still alive.
You need to stop being so- Did you say that's the reason you're still alive?
If I weren't trying to make sure you didn't die, I would have given up a long time ago.
…
A sudden movement behind them pulled Kye from his thoughts. The dragon had dragged itself to it's feet roaring in absolute pain as it did so. "Oh, come on, give a rest will you? You're beaten, stop trying to humiliate yourself farther."
"Silence fool, you know nothing," the dragon shrieked as it lunged one final time.
"Hunter move!" Kye suddenly snapped shoving her forwards and throwing up a barrier just barely around himself. It wasn't rooted in the ground and the force of the lung sent Kye flying backwards, hitting a rock and rolling to the ground. The dragon was limp on the ground, though not likely dead.

Hunter gave a loud, angry snarl. She stepped up to the dragon. “Do you have a death wish?” She pulled the eyeball from her pocket and held it to the dragon. It froze, turned to stone, and she put it back into her pocket. Then, turning back to Kye, She clenched her jaw when she saw that he wasn’t moving. “Idiot,” she chided.

She couldn’t move him. Couldn’t do anything to help him. She was too tired and weak. Her ability had drained her, as she hadn’t used it in a while. But, just to be safe, she used it one last time, brushing the rocks to fall, creating a small cave. She leaned back, exhausted. But she couldnt sleep. Stabbing her side with a rock when she almost fell asleep, Hunter started to tend his wounds, wincing slightly as she did so.

"Now we're even,"Kye mumbled after a little bit. He didn't move and he didn't open his eyes, he was probably only half conscious by this point.

“Are we?” She asked distractedly, carefully wrapping his ribcage. “I haven’t been keeping track.”

"You saved my life, from the blowy upy rock head monster when we first got in this cave," Kye breathed quietly. "I just returned the favor, by saving your stubborn ass from mister stupidragon." His breathing slowed down a bit and slightly evened out. "Was he telling the truth when he said you cared?"

Hunter didn’t answer right away. “Why don’t you tell me,” she said finally, securing the bandage and tending to a long cut on his arm.

Kye didn't respond, he'd fallen completely unconscious now.
"You do really care for him don't you?" a voice said from next to Hunter.

Hunter started. She turned. “W-What?” She asked.

A "person" sat on their knees next to Hunter and Kye. They were glowing, in a similar way to the Barriers Kye used. "I would be Kye's demon buddy in case you hadn't noticed," the person replied looking down at Kye. "But you didn't answer my question. Do you care about him? Because he sure cares about you. More than his own life. He's just silently stubborn and won't admit it."

Hunter scoffed. “No one cares about me. They just need me to help them, and then they leave me here. Again. They say they’ll come back to get me, but they never do. How is he any different?” Her eyes were sad, but her tone was hard.
