MATTRESS

"Hmm, this flower is red. You know what else is? Blood."

Also

"The teachers just told everyone to leave and go home." Passion said, "Other than that we don't know."

You found your siblings They looked as confused as were you were feeling.

You got some stupid homework for the class When you got out the class you saw everyone leaving the school You felt uncomfortable in the building.

The teacher didn't talk about anything interesting just about this one cobalt that barely did anything

You walked in the class. Everyone looked as bored as you felt She threw you back into your room. "You useless dragonet." She stabbed you with her tail and walked off.

Your 'mother' grabbed you and ran.

You realized you had a paper with classes The first one was History of The Cobalts guess the universe still wanted to curse you.

You soon saw the building and bounded in. (The school is built like a middle school, it's literally just middle school but dragon.)

You followed them out the door down a path into the woods

Your two siblings have already left the room.

"Yeah-" Your other sibling said (they named Passion) "Moons I forgot about school!" they checked the time 7:30 am "Oh god-"

Brine turned the radio back on and the screaming had stopped. "We don't know what happened but the former Cobalt is dead and the new one is gone.."

"Someone is definitely getting mass murdered over there!" She said "If someone is it's a terrible idea to go watch!" Your other sibling said.

The chosen dragon stared at the former cobalt. You saw blood. And then screaming.

You saw it in their eyes, this wasn't supposed to happen The radio turned to static. One of your siblings, Brine, turned it off and ran from the room to the front door.

Screaming echoed from the radio Your siblings looked horrified.

"Nobody knows, Some guess it's so the dragons living here don't break rules. But one Cobalt rules over for 100 years. Why not 1? or 10? It doesn't make any sense."

The dragon on the radio said that it was being live recorded for everyone that had computers. No one you knew had them, only rich families did. You heard cheering, you guessed they were broadcasting it to the radios You heard cheering from the dragons around you.

It opened into a ballroom with tons of other dragons added! You heard whispers nearby "Afloat, are you ready to go?" "Y-yes." You heard the radio again. "The choosing is happening now!" You guessed that was what choosing the new cobalt was called.

(yeah) "It's a rock, with truth-seeing abilities or something."

The dragon moved their tail, threatening to stab you. "Keep moving."
