Chapter two- Confrontation and Retribution

"Spyro!, wake up!" yelled Cynder as she banged heavily on the door, "come on Spyro, don't make me come in there" Spyro groaned and rolled over as Cynder continued to yell, she sighed and decided that there was only one way to get him up and entered his room, she looked over his sleeping form and smiled, he seemed so peaceful when he was asleep, a smile was plastered on his face and she wondered briefly what he was dreaming about, but she soon got an idea as she spotted a small tent forming. Cynder smiled evilly as an idea came into her head, She stood over him and blew softly into his nose, his face cringed slightly and he opened one eye to find Cynder standing over the top of him, he let a shout of surprise and tried to roll away, but only succeeded in knocking Cynder over, his momentum carried them for a few more turns in a mess of limbs. When they stopped Cynder was on Spyros chest and was snout to snout with him, they both blushed and disentangled themselves from each other before Cynder gave Spyro a small grin.

"At least you're up now" said Cynder as she headed for the door, "hurry up and get ready or we'll be late. About ten minutes later they walked out the door and headed to school, they didn't talk much but as they reached the street down from school Spyro stopped, Cynder gave him an odd look and he smiled sadly back.

"I think it would be best if I didn't walk into school with you" said Spyro, "I don't want you to lose any chance of having other friends, and I definitely don't want them to start picking on you like they do with me", Cynder smiled at him lightly as she placed her paw gently on his cheek.

"If they can't accept that we're friends then I don't want to be their friends" said Cynder but Spyro shook his head.

"You can tell them after you've become their friends" said Spyro pleadingly, "you have the chance I never did, to make friends, I don't want to be responsible for you losing that chance". Cynder looked at him and saw that he was adamant in his decision, she sighed unhappily and turned away from him, heading to school. Spyro hung back for a few minutes before following after, he entered school as the bell rang and went off to class, as it turned out they shared all the same classes and it became increasingly difficult for Cynder not to sit next to Spyro, who was always left sitting on the edges of the class, the seats around him vacant. They finally reached the last class of the day, Science, with Volteer as their teacher, he announced that today they would be doing an experiment, after explaining what to do he told everyone to get into groups of two or three while he went to get the equipment. Everyone quickly had a group except Spyro, Shelly and Inferna were with Cynder and they laughed loudly at Spyro.

"Looks like the freaks alone, again" laughed Shelly, Cinders eye twitched. She had sat by all day as everyone ignored Spyro and was able to accept that, but laughing at him behind his back? Cynder turned away from them and headed toward Spyro, as she turned she flicked her tail around, landing a square hit directly on Shelly's cheek. She let out a small yell of pain, which drew everyone else's attention as Cynder sat down next to Spyro; everyone was slightly shocked, including Spyro.

"Well, that's one way to get your message across to her" said Spyro as he shifted nervously, then he whispered "thanks" to her softly; she grinned to her friend and laid her tail across his.

"No problem, now what are we suppose to be doing for this experiment? I wasn't really paying attention" asked Cynder, Spyro smiled and started to explain what to do as the rest of the class just stared at Shelly. She growled angrily and tackled Cynder from behind, it was a cheap shot and Cynder yelled in pain as Shelly's claws pierced deep into her back and her teeth sank into her neck, blood spurted from the wounds as Shelly ripped them out. Shelly laughed at Cynder as she stood over her.

"That'll teach you to disrespect me, whore" she said angrily, she turned to Spyro, who was staring at the floor shaking slightly "what? Are you scared? You crying? Not going to protect your friend? I suppose that whore of a dragon isn't much worth protecting", Spyro lifted his head and looked her straight in the eye, but he had no eyes, only holes filled with a blazing light that came from within him, then he spoke with a voice so chilling that the temperature actually dropped, the voice seemed to come from nowhere and everywhere at the same time, it echoed deeply in everyone's head and several of the onlookers almost past out.

"If you ever speak about her like that or touch my friend again, I'll kill you", she flashed him a grin as she raised her tail high above Cynders head, then threw it down with the intention to crush her face, then Spyro would have a freak friend, But her tail stopped dead inches above Cynders head.

"wow, it's pretty cold in here" said Volteer to himself, he was wondering about the strange temperature anomaly when he walked back into the classroom, the first thing he saw was Shelly's tail flashing towards Cynders head, and then stop instantly. he next noticed that Cynder had gashes along her back and blood was on Shelly's claws, but what frightened him the most was the sight of Spyro, he knew what was coming next and shouted out to the class.

"Everyone get out NOW!" yelled Volteer, the class stared dumbly at him before the words hit them and they scrambled for the door, Volteer hit the fire alarm to warn the other five or so classes and any others to get out. By this time Shelly had realized that she couldn't move her tail and snarled at Spyro, who just stared at her.

"Don't bother trying to move your tail; I've frozen the muscles at your tail base", Spyros voice had returned to normal but his eyes still glowed intensely, "now your going to pay for what you did to her", he brought his tail around hit her, hard. She flew into the wall and hit it with a loud thud, she groaned in pain as Spyro walked towards her, he drew in a deep breath and started to charge a powerful beam of frost, something grabbed his tail and he whipped around to see Cynder. She had dragged herself to Spyro and had stopped him from killing the one who had attacked her, Cynder smiled at him weakly.

"Cynder" whispered Spyro, the light started to fade slowly and tears welled up in his eyes.

"don't do it, Spyro", Cynders breaths were ragged, she coughed and the coppery taste of blood filled her mouth but she ignored it, "you're a better person than her, don't become like her".

Spyro gasped as Cynders head fell to the floor, he was now completely back to normal and tears flowed freely from his face as he knelt next to her, he held her head in his lap as her breathing slowed, he knew that no one could survive when they've lost as much blood as she had. So, thought Spyro to himself, I'll just have to give her mine, he didn't know where the thought came from, he didn't even know if it was possible, but something compelled him to act, he placed his head against hers gently and closed his eyes.

"still no word from Shelly, Cynder, Spyro or Volteer" said Ignitus worriedly, him and the rest of the school were gathered on the oval, everyone was talking loudly, mostly asking questions of Volteer's class about what happened while the teachers had already been told what had happened.

"I still think I should go in there to make sure no ones dead, you know what can happen with an angry purple dragon, and from the sounds of things he's unlocked his ice powers". Cyril nodded in agreement and was about to interject his point when a blinding flash came from the building behind them.

(Three days later)

Spyro groaned, his head pounded, and he felt like he hadn't eaten in days, he opened his eyes slowly to find a crying Cynder sitting in a chair next to his bed. He reached out with a shaky hand and placed it on her arm, her head shot up to look at him, he smiled at her weakly, he tried to talk but instead he burst into a fit of coughing.

"Don't exert yourself" said Cynder worriedly, "the doctors said your lucky to be alive, you shouldn't be awake so soon" Spyro smiled but he felt his strength returning already, he sat up slowly so that he could talk easier.

"don't worry, I heal fast, what happened?" asked Spyro, "I remember Shelly tackling you, then it's all a blank", Cynder smiled and told him what had happened, she herself didn't remember much, she mostly found out what happened from Volteer.

"I woke up several hours after it had all happened" finished Cynder. Spyro sighed slightly, he'd have to talk to Volteer about what he had done, but for now he felt fully fit and wanted to get up. He threw aside the sheets and, amide some protest from Cynder, jumped onto the floor, his legs wobbled slightly and he almost fell down but was able to keep himself up, He flashed a grin to Cynder.

"Come on, I'm starving." He said as he walked to his moneys hiding place, he hadn't changed where he had hid it because he trusted Cynder. He took out a small amount and placed it around his neck in a velvet bag, "we'll go out, my treat". He replaced the board and walked out of his room without even looking back to see if Cynder had followed him, she giggled to herself as she started to follow, he must be starving, boys would almost never think of food over a girl. She hurried after him as he walked into the main room, he greeted his startled teachers as he walked quickly to the door and left with Cynder barely keeping up.

"Spyro! Wait up!" yelled Cynder as Spyro turned out of the street, Cynder ran around the corner and yelped when Spyro flew over her head, through a wooden sign, and into a wall. She ran to his side as he slowly stood up but gasped in pain, their was a thin sliver of wood in his leg, three large dragons walked into sight, Spyro growled angrily, he knew them, it was Shelly's boyfriend Peter, an abnormally big grey and silver earth dragon and his two knucklehead earth dragon friends, Ben and Kegan.

"Hey, freak!" snarled Peter as he advanced on the two smaller dragons, "Your gonna pay for what you did to Shelly. She's still in hospital cause of you". He up picked a large rock and tossed it at Spyros' head, but Cynder stepped in and swatted it back at him with her tail.

"Back off ugly" she growled fiercely, but this only made them laugh.

"Hey look, the purple freak has a girlfriend" said Ben, he walked up to Cynder and gave her a smug grin. "Ditch this loser and come with me, I'll show you what a real mans like" .Cynder relaxed from her fighting position and seductively walked up to him so they were millimeters apart.

"well you sure are in good shape" she said to him, he smiled again but it was short lived as Cynder spat a ball of fire into his face, he jumped back and grabbed at his face, being a dragon he wasn't burnt but it still hurt like fuck, "but although you may be stronger and taller let's just say he's a, bigger man, then you are". It was her turn for a smug grin as the meaning of what she had said hit them.

"Well, that's interesting" said Peter as he glared at her, "I'd heard what Shelly said but I didn't think you actually were a whore", he was expecting a reaction from Cynder but he never got one from her.

"Never say that to her, EVER AGAIN!" roared Spyro as he ran toward Peter. He had removed the splinter and, although he was bleeding a lot, ran swiftly, he crashed into Peter side and sent him flying into a near-by wall, without even hesitating Spyro used his new ice breath as if he had practiced for years, he blew it expertly, encasing Peter in a cocoon of ice. Spyro turned to fight the others but they were already disappearing around the corner. He turned calmly back to Cynder and forced a smile, he tried to ignore the awkwardness he felt about the comment she'd made, she had said it so convincingly that if he didn't know better he could swear she'd meant it. "So, onto lunch?" Cynder chuckled to herself as she fell into step beside him.

"Man, you must be really be hungry" said Cynder, "five seconds after a fight and you're taking me to lunch" she paused for a moment as an evil idea struck her, she gave Spyro a mischievous glance before casually asking "so, how many dates have you been on before this one?", The result was better than what she had hoped for. Spyro fell face first into the dirt as he tripped over his own legs, after a few seconds of coughing he slowly got up and glared at Cynder who was trying not to laugh at him, but when she spotted a huge red mark on his forehead Cynder fell over (quite literally) with laughter, Spyro grumbled something inaudibly but she could swear it was something to do with ‘not funny' before he continued to walk away. She struggled to compose herself as she caught up to Spyro and fell into step beside him, "you never gave me an answer". Spyro drooped sadly, Cynder decided it would be a good idea to change the topic when, with a sigh, he answered.

"none, as you've seen I don't really have any friends around here, let alone a girlfriend" Spyro sighed again, after a few seconds of silence a small smirk crept onto Spyros face, but when he spoke again it was in a sad tone. "really, you should have been able to figure it out on your own, first friend I have is beautiful but about as sharp as a pillow", Cynder gave him a sideways glance, a smirk now on her face as well, choosing to ignore his insult she instead drifted closer to him and spoke to him in barely more than a whisper.

"Really? I'm beautiful?" Spyro, whom inwardly was quite nervous at how close she was, outwardly appeared to notice it like he might notice oxygen in air, alright, you want to play hardball.

"I use the term loosely, VERY loosely" he replied mockingly. An affronted look appeared on Cynders face before, with a growl of anger; she brought her tail around and hit the back of Spyro's leg. His leg crumpled under him and he fell heavily onto the ground, she grabbed his arm and pulled him onto his back her tail blade came up to rest lightly on his exposed throat, Spyro gulped noisily as an evil look settled onto her face.

"Maybe you want to reconsider that last statement?" she asked, using Spyro's own mocking tone against him.

"Yes" he replied with a chuckle, meanwhile trying not to move his neck "I take it all back, I'm sorry" Cynder gave a triumphant look as she removed her tail and allowed him to get up.

"So, are we almost there?" queried Cynder as they continued on their way, Spyro nodded as they rounded a corner and led her to a large restaurant With a sign proclaimed The Private Palace, a smaller sign underneath it read eat alone or dine with that special someone without being disturbed. Cynder looked around the small reception room that Spyro had led her into in interest. It held only a small desk where an old couple sat, one with dull green scales, the other with light blue, staring down at a book with so much interest that they didn't even notice them until Spyro noisily cleared his throat. They looked up with a shared expression of annoyance, but both quickly put on a large smile as they realized who it was.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Button" said Spyro respectfully, the dull-Green male dragon chuckled and gave a small wave of his hand.

"Now Spyro, you know how we hate such formalities" the older dragon replied cheerily, "so how have you been, haven't seen you in almost a week, just before the, uh, ‘incident' " Cynder, feeling a bit forgotten, coughed politely as she stepped forward to sit down next to Spyro.

"Oh yeah, Cynder this is Mr. and Mrs. But... I mean David and Mary, David, Mary, this is my friend Cynder" Cynder nodded her head to them and was answered with raised eyebrows, before David once more had a grin on his face.

"Well Spyro, why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend?" he asked excitedly. Spyro and Cynder both looked at each other for a moment, blushes obvious on they're faces, before they tried to tell him they were just friends. David smiled at the young dragons discomfort, earning him a none to gentle nudge from Mary.

"he's just teasing" she said kindly as she picked up a clipboard and studied it for a second, when she put it back down she had an apologetic look on her face. "We have one room available for a few hours and its couple's room, 23" Spyro, who had recovered from his embarrassment, shrugged and gave her a small smile.

"I think we can survive that, they're a lot more comfortable then the normal ones anyway" Spyro stood and with a thankful nod, headed down a hallway next to the desk, closely followed by Cynder. When he was sure they were out of ear shot David turned back to his mate with a puzzled look.

"We have normal rooms that aren't being used" he said in confusion, "why did you tell them we didn't?" Mary looked at him with smug smile.

"Because" she said simply "they make a cute couple"

___________

Spyro led Cynder down a hall full of doors, they stopped at the door marked 23 where another dragon was waiting. Cynder recognized her from school as one of Shelly's friends, she was quite shaken to see Spyro but was able to stay and take an order.

"Oh, hey Sarah, what would you like Cynder?" Cynder just gave a shrug in reply, so Spyro turned back to Sarah with a kind grin on his face, "just tell the chef two of Spyros' usual lunch" Sarah nodded and turned to relay her orders, while Spyro led Cynder into their room. They sat down at a table next to each other, Spyro had never really started a conversation with anyone his own age before, let alone a girl, so he didn't know where he should start, but luckily for him Cynder had a few questions.

"so" she began cautiously "how do you know those two out the front?", Spyro smiled as he thought back to that day, and started to recount it to Cynder

(Flashback thingy, 2 years ago (well, technically it's a recount but whatever, and it isn't from Spyro's perspective like some will say it should be, but it IS my story so get over it))

Spyro ran as fast as he could, Peter, Ben and Kegan were chasing after him and, as usual, were gaining. Spyros ducked to the left quickly as another fireball flew past him, he didn't know where he was but he knew he couldn't run for much longer. He turned left again only to face the cut off end of an alleyway, he spun around but it was too late. Peter grinned evilly as he walked slowly towards Spyro.

"we were going to let you off with a small beating today, but you had to run" he shook his head in mock sadness while Ben and Kegan chuckled behind him, "I guess last time didn't quite get the message into your head, maybe this time will" as the last words left his lips he sprang forward and slashed him across the face. Spyro yelled out in pain and staggered backwards; Spyro grabbed at his face and felt the warm blood as it seeped out onto his cheek and hand. Peter laughed maniacally and stepped forward again, he clamped his hand firmly onto Spyro's throat and lifted him off the ground effortlessly before throwing him into the wall at the end of the alley. Spyro hit it with a sickening ‘crack' and fell to the ground; he let out a groan of agony and knew that his ribs were broken, he lift his head slowly to face Peter, who was charging an earth shot Spyro knew well, hell of a lot of pain, but you wouldn't die, quite. with a roar Peter released the charged beam at Spyro, who had struggled to his feet and tried to dodge to the right, but he was not fast enough and as the attack made contact with his left half he felt more bones shatter, this time in his arm and leg. Spyro roared in pain as he, once again, fell to the ground, nearly unconscious, Peter smiled viciously and started to walk towards Spyro when a deep voice boomed through the Alley.

"OY, GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE YOU KIDS" Ben, Kegan and Peter looked up at the old dragon hovering above them.

"Whatever" said Peter uncaringly as he turned away from Spyro's broken body, "comes on guys, we have to meet the girls at the market soon" and with that they were gone. The old dragon swooped down and landed next to Spyro, he looked down at the young dragon before him and shook his head.

"Poor guy" he remarked quietly as he gently shifted Spyro off the ground and onto his back, earning a groan from Spyro as a result. He walked out of the ally and across the street to his successful business he ran with his wife, Mary. He walked quickly across the floor of the reception room and took his passenger to an unbooked room. He called for his wife and asked her to look after any of the more serious wounds, which was done fairly quickly, and they both decided it would be best for him to have a rest, so they left him be for the night.

Spyro yawned loudly when he woke, he was a little sore from the beatings yesterday, but was otherwise fine. He raised his head and took in his surroundings slowly.

"well, it's much better then some places I've woken up in" he mused, Spyro stretched out, letting his joints pop and slowly stood, he turned around, looking for the door and found a rather stunned old dragon. "Ummm, hi?"

(End flashback thingy)

"Wow" said Cynder, she wrapped her arms around him (earning a blush from them both) and sighed gently into his shoulder as he cautiously returned it, sliding his arm around her back slowly. "Did it happen often?"

"I'd be lucky to escape it once a week" He replied, she shifted slightly into a more comfortable position on his side, they sat together like that for awhile before Spyro suggested they eat, as the food had arrived during his recount. She withdrew from him, but the sudden lack of heat made her shiver and she instinctively pressed herself back against Spyro's side, she blushed lightly and Spyro gave her a shy smile, "you can stay, if you want" he said in a small hesitant voice. Cynder could tell it had been hard for him to say (what with his lack of confidence, especially around girls) and she looked back up gratefully to him. They ate their lunch, a Lamb roast, in silence side by side contently. The two remained together for a few minutes afterward, basking in the others closeness, before they reluctantly rose and headed off to the markets. After some general browsing of the more popular stores they decided to check out the smaller ones and it was in a small back alley shop that something caught Cynders eye. She peered through the glass in an attempt to see it better; when she did she let out a loud gasp and disappeared into the shop before Spyro knew it. He entered the dimly lit shop and gazed around at the various wares, there were mirrors, perfume and various other decorative items, though that was the minority. The rest of the space was filled with jewelry of all kinds, made with gems of all kinds, hanging on walls, in glass cabinets, and on display racks, He found Cynder standing at on such display rack.

"Hey Cynder, what are you looking at?" asked Spyro curiously as he dawdled over and looked down at the object of Cynders attention. He let out a gasp of wonder at the identical pair of necklaces before him, on the end of silver chains were two dragons, snouts together, looking lovingly into each others eyes, backs arched around to give the shape in between that of a heart, they're hands came together in the middle and they're tails intertwined. This was only one part of Spyro wonder; the other was that the two dragons perfectly resembled himself and Cynder.

"They're beautiful aren't they?" Cynder said in wonder.

"Extremely" he agreed "whoever made this must be a master"

"Thanks" said a gruff voice from behind them, spun around to see a large green dragon glaring at them, and a familiar silver and grey figure standing behind him "but I'm still pissed that my son was turned into a Popsicle"

:0

Spyro gulped loudly as the green dragon advanced on him, his cold eyes staring him down.

"So you want to tell me WHY you decided to freeze my son with out provocation?" growled Steels father, he took another threatening step towards Spyro but he had forgotten about Cynder. She jumped in front of him and roared furiously at the old dragon, she fixed him and Steel with a gaze full of anger and hate, making them quickly retreat.

"Provocation" she screeched "how about years of unending fucking torture for provocation? How about beating him within an inch of his god damn life for provo-fuking-cation?" The green earth dragon raised his eyebrows, and then turned to his son.

"Get into the back room, I'll deal with you later" he said in an ice cold tone.

"Bu-"BACK ROOM!" he barked, Steel yelped, spun around and disappeared. The green dragon looked at the two young dragons before him, the female still shaking in anger, and the male trying to comfort and calm her, he cleared his throat to gain their attention. "I'm really sorry about my son, the names Quake. From the sounds of it Steel's given you a hell of a time, I'm gonna have a little talk with him so that it won't happen again. If there is anything I can do for you or anything that you like in this shop, don't hesitate to ask" the purple dragon nodded with a kind smile on his face. He led Cynder to the door, but stopped on the threshold to look back at Quake, murder in his eyes.

"Tell Steel he can do what he wants to me, but he does ANYTHING wrong by Cynder in any way and I'll kill him" and with that he left. Quake shook his head and walked to the backroom. He looked his son up and down.

"Okay, now your gonna tell me everything, and make it the truth"

Sorry it took so long. Hope yall liked it
