The Changing Leaves of Fall

Note: This is NOT the canon timeline. In fact, this is only one thousand years before Darkstalker.
Note 2: I am giving away Aspen. Her current history may be different and she may be cut out of the story entirely to be replaced with another OC.
Note 3: I am abandoning this for now; I may come back to it or I may delete this entirely.

===chapter 1===
Aspen huddled in the cave. She was starting to call it The Cave of Life. She shivered as the cold hit her again.
If only I could make some fire...
She tried to breathe on that miserable pile of sticks and shredded bark. No luck. She was too cold.
Aspen sighed. Maybe...I could go outside... her stupid mind suggested.
No! No going outside! You know, when you flew into here, you spotted other dragons...and the last time you interacted with dragons, they rejected you. They tried to kill you! The only reason you're still alive is because of this cave!
It could be different now... these dragons look different!
Fine.
******************
Aspen jumped as she heard wind rushing. The telltale sign of a dragon flying by. She huddled against the  mossy wall, her brown scales showing against the olive-green moss. She felt a small niche, maybe large  enough for her to fit in?
Worth a try...
Aspen managed to fit in the niche without much struggling. She peeked out. A black dragon -probably an  adult- was searching for something in the cave and Aspen panicked.
Were they searching for her?
=== chapter 2 ===
The black dragon scoured the cave until -or it looked like- their claw hit a ledge. The black dragon (Aspen  decided to call them Midnight) froze.
Aspen, for the first time, noticed the little pouches on Midnight's torso just as they pulled a small bundle from one. They hid the bundle under the ledge and, glancing around to make sure nobody saw them,  Midnight took off.
Aspen crawled out of the cramped ledge and resumed her internal argument. Why should I? Why should I go outside? 
You'll be able to get warm. Isn't that enough..?
Get warm, and then what? Sooner or later, they'll find you.
They'll find you in this cave, too!
Her internal self sighed. There are trees out there...
===chapter 3 (WIP)===
Aspen flexed her wings. They were sore from that long of a flight and she hadn't exercised since that flight- but she couldn't risk going on foot. She took flight and flew around the cave until she was hovering at the mouth, looking out over a giant cliff. Here we go.
She dove off of the cliff and soared-but then reality hit her sharply. I could be seen. She dove into the trees (TREES!) and flew just below the canopy, so that her brownish-green scales couldn't be seen against the many trunks.
See? I told you it wasn't bad! There were trees, and you haven't seen any dragon except Midnight-and they didn't see you!
Not yet, anyway.
Aspen kept on flying-and smacked straight into a limestone cliff.
More flying in soon! Follow and comment if you want more!
