Times Read: 651
I sore through the wind as my wings of gold glide, my snout pointing to the sun. I let out a roar as I see others behind me. A blue dragon with green strips flew behind me, I was the prey and he was hunting me. A gush of water singed passed me as I turned to face my opponent and roared fire builds inside me as I let out a fireball spiraling toward him. It hits his wing and he starts to fall “no, I don’t want him to die” I shouted in my head as I fold my wings and race toward him. The wind making my speed faster then he was falling I catch up to him and grab his wings with my talons and catch him. I slowly set him on the ground as his blue eyes watch me. Being so close to the ground I had to land, I shake my face and groin as I look at my friend. His body starts to change getting smaller and fewer scales as his snout became a face and his tail disappeared and pale skin started to show and brown hair grow on his head. He faced me as if he was waiting for something then he spoke “do you expect me to talk to you like this when I can not hear your replies?”
I rolled my golden eyes and focused on being human, on my human face, my eyes, my hands, my feet, my skin, my hair, as I do my body slowly starts to change. I close my eyes as my scales turned to pale skin, gold and silver hair and my tail disappeared and my claws turned to hands and feet, my eyes turning into almost human like as they glowed gold. When I opened my eyes I stared almost the same height as him, “leave me be Draconic,” I spoke.
He grabs my wrist and pulls me to him “I will not let my future wife run out on me you are to come back to the village and face your consequences of your actions so we can be married Quinine,” he said.
I smack him as hard as I can, say, “I will not have my wings cut Draconic.” Then I close my eyes thinking dragon, dragon, dragon and scales erupted over my body and wings exploded and I flap my golden wings as I roar at him and rise from the ground. He starts to change into his dragon as I turn and fly off knowing he was right behind me. Knowing I was faster I flew into the forest trying to hide my body as I flew, but a golden body is so hard to hide a water ball flings beside me as I know he can see me. I rose up to the sky and folded my wings so I would glide faster holding my breath I plunged into the ocean knowing he could fallow me but he couldn't hold his breath as long as me. I swam into a cave deep in the ocean and hid as I sensed he didn’t fallow me, the thing about golden dragons was they had lungs and gills.As darkness fell I swam out into the open sensing he had gave up waiting on me, I raise to the sky as I blast out of the water. Seeing lights I stop and landed “humans kill” I remember my mom telling me. I knew none of my kind will come so close to humans so I started to change into my human form careful to see if my dragon self had left any evidence behind that I was there, seeing none and my morph complete I walked toward the city lights. Sound surround me that i wasn’t used to as fast metal things they call cars fly past me my body jumping as they do. Lights blare as i try to get used to the city I hear the place is called New York City. In the village we didn’t worry were we wear just as long as the humans didn’t get too close.
Realizing i had no money for trade i go into a pawnshop I see brick surrounding the shop i open the door and pine tree scent hints my nose as i enter. I glide to the counter and waited to be seen as the human was not at the counter I look around seeing TVs, and stereos systems, gold jewelry, silver, piles of boxes of things I didn’t know when I hear "can i help you."
With a smile on my face I gracefully turn around and see a young tall blond male human before me I could tell his eyes were brown and he was checking my whole body out. I smile as I reach into my pocket and pull out one of my family’s heirlooms as I set it down "yes I would like to pawn this please."
I watch his face as he ogles over my velvet voice then his look of surprise when he saw what i sat down he stuttered: um ok.k.k.k.ay, are y.y.you s.s.s.sure you want to se.se.se.sell this madam its rare?" I nod to answer as I wait and watch him put it up and open the register. Handing me $20,000 dollars I turn around putting it in my purse. My golden silver hair shines brightly during the day and if humans look to closely they can see my eyes glowing gold. But most humans don’t stare into our kinds eyes it intimidates them and they have learned not too. Looking up I curse as I see a blue dragon flying above humans were staring and pointing at it my friend lands ten feet in front of me and roars then sprouting water tunnels around me and him. I look up at him in disbelief and horror of what he has done he grabs my frail human self up by his talon and fly’s off. I start screaming at him to let me go but my voice was drown out by the wind. Seeing we were of distance of the humans I close my eyes thinking dragon, my wings, my claws, my snout, my golden scales, my body starts to grow and get to large for his talons making him drop me as I stared to fall my wings finally came in but just as I thought I was free he digs his talons in my wings causing pain to erupt through out my body. I cry out semi human semi dragon, my scales finished coming in as did my claws and tail. My snout was last to finish changing, My friend dug his talons in my wings more making me roar in pain hearing a snap I knew he had broken my wing bone and I could not fly anymore till it healed. My friend starts to get lower to the ground setting my in a meadow then landing five feet in front of me.
Tears fallen down my snout I growl at him ready to fight him to protect myself my friend looking into my hurt gold eyes his eyes sadden as he tries to come near me I snap at him growling not trust him to not hurt me even more. Suddenly five shadows were seen landing a giant red dragon with strips of gold going across his body comes to the clearing first then a small brown dragon then a medium blue then tone green and gold and lastly a white dragons appear. They came at us anger lit in there eyes mostly angry with me for running away.
“Quinine you are to face your consequences in the meeting of the council tonight Draconic good job but next time don’t exposes our race,” said he White dragon the red dragon and the brown one come to me rubbing against me making sure I was alright one of them brushed my broken wing and I roar in pain making them jump then the red one spoke.
“she is in no condition to face the council tonight put it back till she is healed from Draconic injures.”
“very well then, but if she tries to escape I will order Draconic to kill her.” said the white one.
My dad and mom escort me away back to our hut and they stat de morphing and I tried to do the same my body shrunk and remolded together making me back into my pale human self my left arm was broken. I don’t look up as I could feel the town and my parents looking at me my mom rushed to me hugging me and hurrying me inside my dad slammed the door sighing as they patch up my arm not saying a word.
My mom finally broke the silence, “we cant just stand by and et her be dewing.”
My dad said, “you heard What Grewon said heir kill her.”
For the first time in a long time my vision started to fade my eyes start to go white and my body start to shack I could hear my mom screaming as I feel my body bend in ways it was not suppose too my skinned turn pure golden and two small wings sprout from my shoulders a silk solid gold tail grows my hair turn to pure gold my feet turn into golden slippers my hands grow webs and then my body started to rise I could feel a presences inside me she spoke to me.
“I’m goona make you important my little family member no one will ever touch you again my arm heals up.
