Snakes and Dragons(chapter 7)

Snakes and dragons(chapter 7)
Astra POV

I woke up to the sound of squealing. I didn't need to open my eyes to know what it was. Every time someone comes home with Ambereta and if they stay the night if they don't wake up before her,she tickles them till they wake up. "How long?" I ask opening my eyes. "At least twenty that I've been counting." Ninathala answers. I stand up and stretch my wings till I feel them pop. "That felt good. How many?" I mumble. "Let's see,sixty times has she dragged her claw up and down his sides,eleven times she's used her tail on Fangtoms tummy and six raspberrys which drive him crazy." Maraposa informs me. I see them all staring at the sight which is Fangtom squirming in Ambereta's tail while she's giving his tummy a good raspberry. "Ambereta! Don't make him pass out! I haven't even gotten fully awake yet and I think he's had enough!" I tell her. "Aw,but he's so CUTE!!!" Ambereta moans. "Hey,can I use a feather off of your tail?" She asked me. "NO! Please don't...give her...a feather! Please!" Fangtom begs me. "Don't worry,I won't. Because I'm pretty sure Ambereta should be getting you home soon." I tell him. "Ugh,fine. Sorry my adorable Fangpyre,but I guess we must stop...for now." Ambereta says. I could tell behind those cute words and flattery that there was just another tickle torture planned for innocent Fangtom. "Okey,I'm going to go get some sun. Being cooped up in this cave is driving me madder than a griffin chained up unable to fly in a horse barn." I tell the others before racing outside. The rising sun hit my wings as I opened them up. A large scar crossed down my left one,just scratching the membrane. I will still be able to fly,nothing serious. I beat my wings and pushed myself into the clouds. My shadow came down on numerous villages,but I didn't mind. Maybe we'll stay in this world a while before going home. I mean,we have no reason to rush. I hover a bit till I see Ambereta's red scales gleam in the sun. Good,she won't try and keep him hostage for one more day. I'll admit it I think it's cute she will keep anyone she likes with her as long as she can. I sometimes wonder if I should do that. Yet I think people will notice if dogs,bunnies and cobras start vanishing. I fly myself to a icy mountain. The cold will feel nice. Plus I might be able to do some hunting. I crouch low to the ground and creep forward. Each step I take being muffled by the freezing snow. My wings tight to my body,isolating heat into my scales. My fangs slink out along with my claws in eagerness. My tail lightly waves above the ground with my feathers making slight tracks. I hear a gasp and I whip my tail around whoever it is behind me. I lick my lips eagerly and turn around to see...a blue cobra man?! What is up with this planet?!?

Skales POV

I saw it land,so I followed it. I saw it go into what I'm guessing was a hunting position,yet I still followed it. And NOW look where my curiosity got me! I'm here at the complete mercy of a hunting dragon and its licking its lips. That's not a good sign. I feel the tail squeeze a bit on my stomach. This dragon wasn't going to eat me,was it?! My heart beats faster when the dragon starts licking my tummy. Was it...was it tasting me?! The dragon starts purring when I start struggling. Dear devourer save me! Then it moves its tail tip right on top of my belly markings. The tip has at least a dozen feathers on it. The tip starts shaking up and down on my sensitive tummy. I giggle a bit at the soft feathers dancing on the markings. I laugh harder when I feel the entire tail vibrating against my wet,soft tummy. I hear the dragon purr at my laughter. Then it stopped. The dragon went back to licking me. "W-wait! P-please! Please,don't-don't eat me!" I beg. It's eyes snap wide open at that. The tail withdrew itself and the dragon backed up. Did I offend it?" M-m-mercy." I plead,now shaking. I never realized how cold the mountain was until now. "W-why did you think I'm going to...going to eat you?" asked the dragon. I can now tell its a girl,and she sure sounds upset. "I...I was never going to hurt you. I just wanted to play." She tells me. Her eyes looked wetter than they had before. "No...no! Please...please don't cry. I-I didn't mean to make you upset you. It's just...I've never seen a dragon before." I say. I didn't want her upset. She seemed really sweet. "You sound like my sisters new friend,Fangtom." She says. Wait,did she say FANGTOM?!? "You've seen Fangtom?! Do you know where he's at?!" I asked her. "Oh,yes. My sister should be taking him back home right now." She assures me. "Good,I was worried." I tell her. How odd that moments ago I was scared out of my wits by this dragon,now she seems like a friend to me. I put a hand on her scales. They were so warm..."Um,are you okey?" I hear her laugh. I look around to see I've moved closer and was now cuddled against her scales. "S-sorry! Guess I'm cold." I apologize. "Oh,really? Here,better?" She asks me as her tail coils around me,yet she had a glint in her eyes that made me nervous. Even though I'm sure she won't hurt me,she's still a dragon.

Astra POV

How we met might not have been the best,I still wanted to play. I moved my feathers around his sides,making him giggle like a five year old. "Aw,cute. So tell me...what's your name? AND...are you ticklish?" I ask. His eyes widen. "My names Skales and n-no. I-I'm not t-ticklish a-at all." Skales answered. I chuckle at this. Dragons can easily tell the truth from a lie,so I knew he was lying. "I'm afraid I don't believe you,Skales. Now...if you tell the truth,I'll go easy on you. If not..." I let my vow hang in the air. I drag a claw up and down his tummy,tracing each of his markings. His laughter increased. "Skales...don't make me tickle your hood. Just tell me if your ticklish...and where." I said in a singsong voice. "M-mercy! MERCY!" Skales kept yelling. I lightly tickled his hood,but only for a few minutes. Then,I felt each of his ribs. "STOP! Okey,I confess! I'm really ticklish on my belly,now PLEASE STOP!!!" Skales pleaded. "Skales,you lied. I don't like it when people lie to me." I say. He gulps at this. I let the coils covering his tummy drop,then I licked my lips and took in a breath. "W-wait! I-I'm sorry! Please! Have mercy!" He begs. I shake my head then blow a long raspberry into his tummy. Skales squealed with laughter. "I don't think your going to lie again." I chuckle as I let him out of my tail. "Th-thank you." He gasped. "Hate to tickle and run,but my sisters will be looking for me." I tell him. "Heh,till next time?" Skales asked. "Till next time." I purred as I nuzzled him on the head. I then took off towards my home.
