Echoes

She couldn't.
She couldn't bear this pain, this agony. It was closing in on her, dark and looming...
The SkyWing sat in the cave, huddled by a small fire, haunted by the steady pitter-patter of the rain outside of it.
"I don't deserve this fire," she muttered under her breath, choking with emotion. "I don't deserve my life." She flicked her tail over the fire, stamping it out, but ignored the searing pain. No, the emotions welling up inside her now were much greater than that of a flame.
She stared at her shattered egg, and couldn't resist a sob.
"Cinder! Cinder!" called another dragon. As the NightWing flew in, Cinder sobbed even harder.
"Cinder?" asked Duskbringer, more unsure. There was concern in his dark eyes, but Cinder barely acknowledged him.
"Cinder? Where's our egg? Did it hatch?" he asked. Cinder noticed that she must have looked really heartbroken to stir him. Duskbringer was always the adventurous one, undaunted by everything. He would have been a great father... Cinder continued to cry.
Cinder gestured sadly toward the shattered egg. He looked at it, then kept on looking. 
"No! No... Cinder, what happened? How did it break?" he said, his horrified gaze still on the egg.
"I-It was broken," stuttered Cinder,"by Q-Queen Inferno... she found us out! I d-don't know how... I swear I didn't tell anyone! I kept the egg hidden here, j-just like we planned!" Duskbringer's stare still didn't waver, and something snapped inside of her.
"It's my fault he's dead!" yelled Cinder, as Duskbringer shot up.
"No! It ISN'T! You hear me?" Duskbringer shot back, "You couldn't have-"
"IT WAS! It's my fault I kept meeting you! THAT I KEPT LOVING YOU! I should have known... now I'm being punished for this! I swear, Duskbringer, I loved you with all my heart. But now I know I was wrong, If all it means is more and more pain! I'm done, I'm done with you, Duskbringer. I'm done with us."
And as Cinder flew away from him, her emotions blazing harder than ever before, she knew one thing.
That she could never, ever look back, not even for a moment.
== =================A BIT OF INFO====================== ==
* This is for HoneysuckleRainwing's contest here 
* Cinder has DID (AKA multi-personality disorder)
* I hope this was good enough!
* A bit of clarification- neither Cinder nor Duskbringer are royalty or nobles. They're just average tribe dragons. Queen Inferno was just in a bit of a rage about cracking down on any SkyWing-related inter-tribe relationships.
* Yes, the dragonet is actually dead. His egg is shattered!
* I probably won't continue this (emphasis on the probably) unless I have enough demand.
* What happens after this? Well... if I continue it, you'll have to wait and see... (attempts evil laugh) *coughs awkwardly* *falls of chair laughing*
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Wish me luck, I'm going to need it.
