What happened last night...

What happened last night? Sheesh well where should I start? lesee.. well i got home from work at the normal time and found a Sunstreaker just shy of throttleing one of our new guests. Appaerently he had decided that he was going to take a look at the yellow countach out side and it still hadn't registered with him that these cars arent what they seem.
"Look pal," Sunny growled, "touch my paint job again and the question of weather or not you are undead will be come a moot point."
The damphere in question then proceeded to notice me there and turned to glare at me.
"dont give me dirty looks bub," I shrugged, "I TOLD You not to bother the cars."
I got another glare from behind those sunglasses of his and I just shrugged it off and went into the house.
That was when i found that my two newest guests, the one sunny wanted to get hold of, and the other new arrival, felt compeled to invite thier girl freinds so Karen Jansen, and Roxanne Simpson were both sitting at my table with Rox's guy haveing a discussion as i let the door slam behind me.
"Wait a second," Rox commented, "I thought the ones with the purple crest were the bad guys." She turned to look at her guy, "Shouldn't you be, ya know..Arrgh!" she proceeded to do her best monster impression," I mean it IS after dark."
"Dont ask me,"He shrugged, "maybe they changed."
I crossed my arms as Karen proceeded to notice me and clear her throat loudly.
"Duh," I said in response to his comment. Then headded off into the house.
Only to be accosted give minutes later and dragged, by Ratchet, who by the way has recovered, To my bed room where he could take a look at me.
"You mind telling me why your doing this?" I demanded.
"shut up and stay still," He went to work scanning me, "As for why im doing this, op says you've been coughing and your joints have been hurting. I want to make sure its just a cold and not something more serious."
I sighed and Shut my eyes and let him have his way. A few seconds later Orion Showed up and sat down next to me while the medic was still checking me.
"You know you dont have to do this Orion," I told him,"Im not some helpless lil female, im not a mary sue."
"No one ever said you were, In fact your the farthest thing from it. What you ARE is a workaholic who doenst know when to slow down." He reached over and took hold of my nearest hand. "I jsut want you to be okay."
I sighed,"FIne."
I held still and let them have thier way. A few seconds later they were done. I have to admit, it did feel good just to lay there and relax some.
"Okay you can sit up, No i take that back, keep laying there. In fact go to sleep."
"Why?"
"Because," The doctor replied, "you have one hell of a cold, and your tired. I dont know if its from this job, which i dobut or left overs from where rite aide tried to kill you. But its there. So just stay still and go to sleep."
"Orders?"
"Hell yes," he growled, " Least i can do for this over grown tonka truck looking after me when im out."
i grinned at that and proceeded to settle back down. Orion grinned at me, and proceeded to make him self comfortable on the edge of the bed planning on keeping me company till i could go to sleep when it all broke loose.

From some where out side, something started screaming.
I jumped up.. Orion jumped up and two seconds later we were tearing out of the house with every one else.

What we found when we got out there was a sceen i really dont know how to describe. Will and his air corps had brought several people to stay here. Several young dragonets as well as young riders in trainging as well.All of the kids, as well as all of the baby dragons were huddleing into the back of thier pen as menacing dark wraith like forms advanced on them. Those things that voldmorte comands. Dermentors or how ever you spell it. Going after kids and babies. The lil dragons who had never NEVER known any kind of mistreatment in thier short lives were crying and the kids were doing thier best to protect thier mounts despite the fact that they wanted to scream them selves. They were waving tourches and trying to drive them off but it wasnt doing any good.. the more that they tried the worse it got.
Then all hell broke loose every one that could decended on the dermentors and started doing everything to drive them off. The fight, I dont know how long it lasted but it came to an end when Rox's Guy, in his monster, demon, or what ever you want to call this form, got a hold of one and subjected it to one of his powers, to make the person experiance all the pain it had caused.
The dermentor started screaming like It was on fire and I couldnt take it. I Looked away and buried my face in my hands.
Moments later it was over and all of them had left.
People rushed in to help the kids and the dragonets, and I managed to pull my self together only to have Orion Grab me and pull me back.

"Rose, Dont," He looked at me dead serious, "you dont have to prove your self. Please for once, go back to the house. Please? "

I looked at him for a second and nodded, Hateing to be releageted back to this but knowing that there wasnt any thing I could do. The other girls were there, hell even Mele' had stayed back.
"why did they make the girls stay home?" I asked.
"Because," Mele said, " NONE of us need to be exposed to dermentors. Its not a sign of weakness rose. It's just a fact."
I nodded finally to tired to argue any more and just sat down to wait. eventually Orion, Megs, and all the rest of the guys came back and gave all the women the comfort they needed.
Orion sat on my bed with me till i feel asleep and stayed there to keep the night mares away.

The people we are facing have no shame. Children and babies, what's Next?
We have to keep strong, even if that means sometimees staying on the side lines. what ever it takes to win.. we have to do it.
Rose and co.
