Cynder's Nightmares

Cynder and Vortex has returned to their room, while Spyro and Blossom has retired to theirs.

Cynder's POV

I sighed deeply as I got onto my bed, stretching my black form. Vortex got on after me and tucked the blankets around us. "Now, back to our converstion. You said that you were gotting bad nightmares since three days ago. Tell me what's wrong." Vortex asked, his eyes gleaming with concern. I scowled before turning my head away from him. Vortex placed his claws around my muzzle and gently turned my head back to face him. "Cynder, you know that I love and care for you. Can you please tell me what's wrong?" I shuddered at the thought of those nightmares I had a few days ago. They were filled with violence, blood, and madness. And in the midst of this chaos, a cackling black dragon appeared, his red eyes gleaming with cold malice and his maw twisted into a cruel grin.

Flashback:

["What do you want!" I screamed at the black dragon, furiously slashing at him with my claws and breathing poison on him. The black dragon chuckled deeply, a eerie sound that sent shivers arching down my spine. "Cynder, Cynder, Cynder. Is this your way of greeting your old lover?" "Who the hell are you?" I screamed at the dragon. "I'm here to take you as my mate." "I don't to be your mate! Vortex is my mate and I'm happy with him!" "Cynder, don't you see that he will be a negative impact on your life?" "SHUT UP!" I screamed, before my body glowed with green energy before I released a powerful shock wave of green energy that ripped apart the dream. Then darkness set in...]

End of Flashback

My eyes filled with tears as I rethought these bad dreams and I gave a deep shuddering breath. Vortex saw me and quickly held out his paws for a embrace. I collapsed into his embrace and buried my head into his chest, sobbing my heart out. Vortex wrapped both his strong arms and wings around me and gently kissed my forehead before saying "Cynder, there's no way that that dragon can hurt you. I'll be here for you. I will guard you with my life." Vortex said firmly. My eyes teared up again as I took in these passonate words and I leaned in, pressing my muzzle to his. Vortex's eyes snapped open and he blushed deeply before kissing me back. After a few moments holding the kiss, we pulled away, gasping for breath. Vortex guided my head to rest on his chest and wrapped his arms around me in a firm embrace. With my head on his chest and feeling warm and content in his embrace, I quickly fell asleep. Vortex smiled at me for a few seconds before falling asleep as well.

Vortex's POV

I glanced down at my sleeping mate for a few seconds before smiling sadly and falling asleep as well.

Vortex's Dream

[I wandered through a lush field of wildflowers and saw a dark clearing in the middle of the gap. Curious, I entered the grove and saw Cynder sitting on her haunches in the middle of the clearing. "Cynder? What are you doing here?" Cynder turned to look at me, and I was shocked and startled to see her eyes were a dull gray. "I'm sorry Vortex..." She whimpered. "Sorry? For what? I love you Cynder! There's nothing to be sorry about!" Suddenly a ball of shadows floated from one of the trees, and formed itself into a dragon with glaring red eyes, curved horns, and a long gray tail with a massive mace attached to the end. His wings looked strong yet skeletal. "I'm sorry Vortex..." Cynder repeated the words as the dragon gently careesed her neck with his claws before turning and staring me dead in the eye before placing his lips aganist her's. "NO!" I roared as a explosive wave of lighting and wind came roaring from my body, ripping through my dream.]

End of Dream

"NO!" I roared as I quickly rose, then looked down at Cynder, still sleeping snugly in my arms. I smiled before laying my head on the pillow and falling asleep, but I knew that the black dragon was no friend...
