Scary Stories for Midnight

MATURE CONTENT, GORE AND BLOOD
== Chapter 1: Camping ==
Lark was very bored. Camping was very boring, he had read ALL the books he packed and his sisters, Cerise and Garnet were NOT very fun either, always talking about sunshine and rainbows(Garnet) or just not responding(Cerise). And then there was that other SkyWing, Sunrise. He did NOT went to talk to her, she was a STRANGER. The ONLY reason the four of them were camping together was that their parents were friends and decided to go camping together and bring their DRAGONETS WITH THEM. Sunrise’s dad seemed nice, older than Lark’s parents, but kept droning on and on about his museum and the priceless artifacts in it.
Camping was definitely the worst.
Well, until their parents went off to get firewood.
Since it was the middle of nowhere in a forest, you’d expect there to be a lot of trees, right? Well, there are a lot of trees, but Lark’s parents(and Sunrise’s dad) decided that THESE trees weren’t FIRE-WORTHY and that the TRUE firewood trees would be found AWAY from the campsite. 
Which meant THEY would leave Lark, Garnet, Cerise, and Sunrise ALONE.
Not that Lark believed in ghosts or monsters or anything. But being alone at night in the woods with a strange red-orange SkyWing his age and his weird sisters would likely be traumatizing.  
Lark’s mother was the last to leave, promptly patting him and his sisters on the head and a quick good-bye was enough for her. When their parents were gone, Sunrise spoke. She had been quite annoying the whole camping trip, and probably wasn’t going to be any better now.
“Wanna hear a story?”
Lark groaned. Not that lame story about the muddy talon AGAIN, every camping trip; “did you hear about the tale of the muddy talon?” “do you wish to be scared to death by the muddy talon?” “hey kids, you know the muddy talon?!” Lark was sick of it.
Sunrise persisted when none of them answered. “I got some good ones!”
“Sure.” Answered Cerise sarcastically.
Sunrise glared, and her tone became harsher. “It’s not the muddy talon, if that’s what you think.”
That outruled the one “scary story” Lark knew.
Garnet was excited by that. “I wanna hear it!”
“Good.” Said Sunrise, her tone softer. “Now, do you know about the shadow queen?”
== Chapter 2: The Shadow Queen ==
There was once a RainWing named Tapir. He was the prettiest RainWing one could see, outbursts of green with undertones of blue and purple, wings curving elegantly, the purest blue eyes one could ever see. There was just one problem.
His mind. 
Every night he went to sleep, he would dream of a pitch black dreamscape, where he would talk to the Shadow Queen. No one knows if she was real, or just in Tapir’s mind, but he talked to her all the same. Every night, speaking to her in his sleep, telling her his feelings and worries, every inch of his soul, he poured out to her.
But then she started giving him orders.
Whatever she told Tapir to do, he did. The orders were often… strange. Sacrificing lizards of mice over a painted red circle, then leaving the body at another RainWing’s doorstep. Impaling small animals with pointed sticks and burning them over a bonfire in a clearing. 
Until it went too far.
One night, the Shadow Queen told Cocao to kill Spring, the tiniest RainWing in his school. He did so, with a knife from his kitchen, and when he was found with the body, The queen almost locked him in an asylum until his mother, an animus, came up with another option.
Cursing him to never dream again.
He went crazy, crying at night, and he kept trying to talk to the Shadow Queen, but he could only do so in dreams. But he figured he could talk to her in any darkness, so he slit his mother’s throat with the knife he used to kill Spring, and then cut out his eyes with it, so he could be with The Shadow Queen forever.
“So, whatcha think” asked Sunrise.
“That was so cool! But kinda morbid…” Said Garnet.
Cerise snorted. “Baby level.”
Lark did not know what to think, it was quite morbid, but Tapir being pretty played no role in the story, it didn’t make sense.
This is a WIP and will be updated once I think of more scary stories.
