A Dead Song (A Tragic Short Story)

It happened so quick... it wasn't supposed too. It should've lasted longer... I wish it did... why was it gone? Why did things come to my misery? Why was it all forgotten? Lost to an endless void? Why did it happen... why?
=== Chapter 1; After ===
Alexandra stared at the wall of her tent, her thoughts placed on when she was younger.
"Silly SilkWing! You'll never be better then me!"
"Believe in yourself, my beautiful daughter... no matter what any HiveWing says..."
"Little dragonet... he's-"
"YO!" A voice barked, snapping her out of her thoughts. "Lets go! Stop day dreaming, Alex!" Edith grunted. "Coming..." She sighed, shaking her head.
----
She was supposedly leaving Pantala, heading forward to some other continent. "Look on the bright side, we're going where the famous Clearsight formerly lived!" Cabbage grinned, showing his blunt teeth. "Mhm..." Alexandra sighed, her sight down to her talons.
They had been standing in line for a while, many types of dragons she never knew of before hauling around SilkWings' luggage.
The sun beat heavily down on her, making her feel more saddened then ever. "Hey, you said you were excited for this day, especially since you could go with us! Or, are you just upset I didn't go on the first load of dragons?!?" Edith hissed. "No- its-" Before she could stammer out the words, a voice called for them. "NEXT!"
Cabbage bit his lip. "I think they mean us-"
"NEXT!" The dragon called angrily again. The three SilkWings stepped forward. "Items." The dragon snorted. Cabbage placed down his baggage, in which, was a lot of scrolls, a bag, a rug, and 15 fish which smelled like it was 15 days old.
"Come on, Cabbage. I have stuff to y'know!" Edith growled. Alexandra was lost in her thoughts again, staring up at the sky.
"Alex, promise daddy you won't grow up...-"
"Alexandra! Don't you have luggage too??" The female SilkWing smacked her. "Right..." She sent down her father's necklace. "Now we can finally get out of this line!" Edith sighed in relief, her tail twitching. The three SilkWings roamed off, sitting not to far from the medical tent. Alex stared at the necklace as the dragon set it in a crate that read: 'FRAGILE'.
She didn't believe it was safe, but ignored the feeling.
After some hours... suddenly, a pale blue SeaWing darting up to them. "Hey! You must be... Cabbage, Edith, and... Alex!" He roared in either pleasure or anger. Cabbage nodded his head.
"Come on, for the flight, we must go now!" He grinned. Edith nodded, beginning to follow the SeaWing along with Cabbage and Alex.
"Don't go away... please... it hurts..."
=== Chapter 2; Homebound ===
3 years later...
Alex stared at the wall, lost in thought. Her cave was cold and quiet, the smell of rotting meat lingered everywhere.
"Come on, Alex!"
"Why are you always so depressed??"
The voices of Edith and Cabbage rang in her head. "I don't know... why am I always hurting...?" She picked up the necklace, twirling it in her talons. "SILKWING!" A voice bellowed. "Time for work..." She sighed.
----She was hooked up to a cauldron, like the rest of the Flamesilks. 'I thought coming here would be better... I thought coming here would be better... I thought coming here would be better...' She thought, squeezing her eyes shut.
"Come on! Get started!"
"Edith! Alex! Don't! That's a mushroom!" Cabbage's voice tickled her mind.
"Don't worry Alex, we'll never abandon you!!" Edith hissed.
"You abandoned me... that's exactly what you did..." Alex hissed, wrestling against the chains. "Now you're dead. Just like him. Now everything I know and love is dead..." She shook her head.
