I was frozen all I could do was stare until the something was right above me. My eye's widen as I press my back up to the tree behind me and stare at what was in front of me. "I-It ca.. Can't be!" Was all I could get out for what I saw was... A dragon!
~~~~ ^_^ ~~~~
I couldn't belevie my eye's! I thought I fanily (sp) went nuttso! Dragon's are just myth's right? Did I fall asleep? No, I'm awake... This is just to werid. The wind it was making from it massive bat-like wing's was unbeleiveable! (Sp?) The wind swooshed up and around me making my long dark brown hair fly in every which way. I held my arm's over my face to shield (sp) it from the harsh wind's of this being. 'How come no one has seen this thing yet?!' Was all i could think at that time but as soon as the thought crossed my overly packed mind the people in the parkinglot next to the park started to scream and yell. I wasn't intuned with them at the moment... Well you can guess why! Then out of nowhere the Dragon opened it's massive jaw's and let out the loudest roar I had ever heard! I had to cover my ear's to keep from going deaf, it was so loud. I was still frozen, I didn't know what to do. Should I run and try to make it to my house? No. I can't I'll indanger my brother and new friend's well not Rick but, well, you know what I mean! I just sat there staring at it and it at me.
'I have found the bond that tie's me to the human's and that bond lie's in you. Alexis Maira James. From this day on 'till death we are as one and no longer two.'
My eye's widen at the voice in my head and stared up at the living myth shocked to no end. Then it did something I didn't think it would it swooped from the air and snached me up in it's large talons and flew back up to where it was and stared at me holding me up to it's eye level. "W-w-w-what's going on here?... C-can you un-understand me?..." I stared at the massive sea foam eye's that belonged to the Dragon and then heard the voice in my head again.
'Aye, that I can Alexis.'
I stared at it a bit longer. "How do you know my name? And what is your's? why are you here? What do you plan o--" I was cut off by the dragon as it stoped my pressing question's to anwser the first one.
'My dear, please, if you don't mind being a little more patient everything will be told in time, but as for your first question, I have always known you for we are bound to one another from the day you and I were born and nothing will break that bond.'
The whole time I was talking to this Dragon I had grown comfterbul (sp?) in it's large claw's and I now had another question. "If I may ask you; you are a girl right?" The Dragon stared at me and it smiled a toothy grin showing off it's pearly white and sharp teeth.
'That I am. The dragon that is bound to a human is of course the same gender as that human.'
I stared at the now her and smiled slightly even though I was so far off the ground and I was scared of hight's. I felt safe in it's claw's and her gentle eye's kept me calm. Then it, I mean, she looked behind me and pulled me to her chest and roared loudly at whatever was behind me she didn't like. I held onto her gaint clawed hand and looked behind me. "Guy's?!" I shouted out as I saw Noah, Matthew, Kayden, Aaron, Rick, Kevin and an old man come up to me and the dragon. The old man steped up and the dragon roared at him to not come any closer and her complied to her wish. "I say, young Dragon, will you be a dear and put the child down?" He said very politely. Child? I'm no child! But by how old he looked a fourty year old would look like a child. I stared at the old man hard, was this the "Elder" the guy's were talking about? I don't know about you but if he lay's one hand on this dragon he will soon regret (sp) it! I mean it's a Dragon! There can't be very many like her right?
'Do not worry. I will keep you from these male dragon's.'
I looked up at her a brow rised in question. "What do you mean? They are my friend's!" The dragon looked at me hard staring right into my eye's. "Please don't hurt them." I pleaded to her and lowered my head and rested it on the base on her massive neck where she held me. She looked at me I could tell she was even though I couldn't see her. She looked down at the old man and gave a loud huffy sound. Then before I knew it we were heading down to the ground and she let go safely on the ground. "Lexie!!" My brother ran to me calling to me by my nickname and grabed ahold of me almost choking the very life out of me! I huged him softly and pushed him off me. "Okay! My head will pop off if you keep sqweezing (sp?) me like that!" I half way laughed but he looked at me strunly and pulled me by the arm away from the dragon to the other's and pushed me behind him. "This isn't a time to be laughing! This thing could have killed you!" The dragon roared at my brother for pulling me away from her side and gave him a low growl at his mean coment.
'He will not brake our bond! If he will not move, I will move him myself!'
My eye's widen and I pull Kevin back and behind me. "No that's not what he was tring to do! He is just protective (sp?) of me! He was scared you would hurt me... Please he is my brother let him be." I again pleaded with her once more to not hurt my brother. She gave a throaty sigh and came a little closer and leaned her head down and bumbed the side of my face with the tip of her nose softly so not to hurt me or push me to far and I rubed the side of my face back.
'Alright then. If that is what you wish then I will obay. (sp?)'
I smiled softly but took in a sharp breath as I was yenked back and thrown to the ground hard and the yelling of some words I couldn't make out and a bright green light blinded me from seeing anything, but the one thing I could make out was I think it was Rick standing infront of me. "NO! What the hell do you think you're doing, you psycho?! Get away from her!" I screamed and shot up from the ground and took my elbow and jamed it into his back making him fall forward and on his stomach and steped inbetween his shoulder blades and hoped over him as he grunted and rushed to the dragon. "Whatever you were going to do I don't like it! Stay away from her!" I put my arm's on her large chest protectively I had my back to her to watch the male's infront me. When I heared a groan I looked down at Rick. I was right. He glared at me and I glared right back at him with my most madest of glare's which my brother said it would scared the devil himself. I heared the dragon growl deep in her throat and lower her head down to my hight.
'I do not like that one. He is... Crul..'
I nod at her word's still glaring at Rick. I heared a claping noise at my left and looked that way. It was the old guy who asked the dragon to put me down. "Okay now enough is enough. You are Alexis, am I right?" He smiled at me, his wrinkles moving in time with every word he said. He was truely old but he looked kind. Like the he's your favorite Grandpa kinda way. I stared at him hard my arm's still on the dragon behind me, I twiched a little when the wind picked up from behind me and blow my hair forward hinding my face. "Tell me what you want with her!" I demanded showing no fear or posibility (sp?) of backing down from tring to protect the dragon. The old man just smiled at me before Rick jumped up. "Watch your mouth when your talking to our Elder!" I turn and glare at him again. "I don't care if he's bloody freakin' Jesus! As long as I breath no harm will come to this dragon! Now why don't you be a good psycho and SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" I smirked at the cring from the dark haired psycho infront of me. The old man cleared his throat and I turned back to him. "As I was saying young one, we do not wish to harm you or your dragon. I merly (sp?) wish that the dragon lower it's size so we wont draw any more attion to us." I tilt my head and look up to the dragon only to notice that she is not there so I look down and see a smaller verson (sp?) of her and I knelt down infront of her tilting my head.
'Is there something wrong, Alexis?'
I shake my head and hold my hand's down and she climbed into my arm's. I'd say she is the size of a large chuwhaha (sp?) and I pulled myself up from the ground and turned to the old man. "Okay, Grampa, what now?" He smiled at me again and turned and walked to the middle of the park. then turned back to us and waved his hand telling us to follow him. I slowly join the group standing a bit aways from them and Grampa held out his hand's and we were engulfed (SP?) in a bright white light. Next thing I knew everything was quiet... No screaming... No one around the fence of the park... No one looking out their window's horrified (sp?) to what they were seeing... It was ominous... I backed away from Grampa and the other's staring at me oddly. (all but Kevin who was staring at Grampa!) Noah steped a little closer only to stop short seeing the look of warning on my face. "I, uh, told you that The Elder could talk anyone into anything and make them belevie anything, remember?" I nod slightly keeping a tight hold on the dragon in my arm's, but not to tightly so I wouldn't hurt her.
'Alexis. You have no need to worry about me. I say I can take care of myself.'
I sated down at her and lifted her up to my face and nuzzled my cheek on her face. "I can't help it." I whispered to her as I felt her nuzzle back. Grampa smiled again and held out his hand's to me and my brother Kevin. "I know you two are sceptical (sp?) of me, but if you would come with me... I could take you two to a place where you would feel normal and not feel like a "freak" where you would be treated the same as everyone else. Well you join our Clan?" Ending his speechin a question toward me and my brother. I looked over to Kevin and he back at me. I look to Grampa and stood tall. "I will only go if my brother does, I will go no where without him. We have had a strong bond as brother and sister and I will not let that bond be severed (sp?) by some event of mythical creatures being real and all that hua. (sp?)" I looked out of the corner of my eye to see the shocked look on Kevin's face the he smiled and turned to Grampa. "We'll join!" I stare at him, then smiled and said, "We'll join!" I smiled a very rare happy and bright smile that no one but my brother saw... Until now. I steped closer cautiously as he nudged his hand a little upward for me to take. I stared at his hand a few second's then gladly took hold of it. His hand was wrikled but firm as he held onto it. I looked over at my brother and smiled in my 'What are you waiting for?' way and he steped over and took ahold of Grampa's other hand. "Well shall we be off then?" Me and my brother nod at the same time and Grampa nod's to the boy's.
Then before I or my brother knew it, bam! We where in the air! I gasped and almost let go of Grampa's hand but he had a strong hold on it and for this I was very thankful for. Somehow the dragon got out of my grip and was flying next to us, I stared at her a few minute's and then looked back behind her to see the guy's had wing's on their back?!! This was way to much even for me! Then I did the worst thing I could ever do... I looked down! I couldn't even see the ground! I was so scared of heights... I sqeezed Grampa's hand tighter and gave a slight whimper barely able to be heard but I guess he did since he turned his head and saw me looking down at the non-visibale ground under us. "Don't you worry young one! As long as I have ahold of you you wont fall." I look back up at him slightly and nod. "Okay.." I was still unsure about it but I trusted Grampa so I looked up and watched the path ahead. (if you could even call it that!) My brother was having no trouble with the flying almost like he has done this his whole life. I smiled slightly, I guess he is glad we left with Grampa. But something hit me just then. "Hey Grampa! What about our parent's? We just left without saying anything." I had to shout so he could even hear me over the mass sound's of wing rushing past us. I could tell he smiled but he didn't bother to look back. "don't worry about that, Young One. Everything has been taken care of." I stared at him awhile then looked over to the dragon again it wasn't until now that I turely noticed how beautiful she really is, her long sleek bodycovered in scale's of meny bright blues of every shade I could think of, there where three large scale's lining up her snout and long catfish-like wisker's on each side of her face, long horn's set at the top of her head and large round eye's that were a beautiful seagreen color. There was some kind of fur running down her back and down her long tail which had fur at the end of it too and on her elbow's and a bit on her chest and the back of her hind leg's. The thick scales on her nose were on her for arm's too and her large hands were webed. 'For swimging propbaly (sp?)' I thought. She turned to me and smiled flying closer.
'Would you like to ride on my back, Alexis?'
My eye's lit up and noded quickly. "Grampa! I want to ride on the dragon!" He nod's and let's go of my hand without another word. "Aieeeee!" I let out and my brother turned right to me. "Alexis!" The the dragon swooped under me and I landed at the base of her neck like right infront of her wing's. 'She's so big...' I thought to myself.
'Haha. Don't be scared, Alexis. I may be big but I'm somewhat harmless... To you at least.'
I laughed. She could hear my thought's too. 'Okay so this will be easier to talk to you without people thinking I'm talking to myself.' I thought to her.
'Aye, that it will, but if there are thought's you don't want me to hear just say something and I'll leave you be.'
I smiled and leaned down laying my head on her neck and smelled the fresh rain water. 'I'm glad to hear that... You know you could the best friend I never had.' I rised myself up and stared at the never ending skies and laughed holding out my arm's. "This is better then anything I could have dreamed of! I've never felt so free!" I smiled I've never felt happier then what I am now! I've never felt free before...
'Ahahaha, I see you like to fly, Alexis. I will take you out flying a lot more when we get where the Elder is taking us.'
I smiled again then thought of something. 'Oh, by the by, you never answered my question about your name, what is it?' I thought to her again.
'Well, Alexis... I don't really have one.'
I looked at her over her neck and frowned. "Well that's no good!" I said out loud. She doesn't have a name? That's not right. Then an idea hit me. "Oh! I know! Why don't I give you a name?" I asked and saw her look back at me though not turning her head.
'You would give me a name?'
I nod and smile at her. "Yes I would and will!" I lean down and hug her around the neck gently. 'Hmmm, a water dragon... And you smell like rain water... Rain maybe but... I've always liked japanese name's... Oh! Tsunami! If I'm right it mean's tidal wave. How about it? Is Tsunami okay?' I wasn't sure if it was japanese but I liked it, I could tell she was thinking it over the she rised her back up sending me flying into the air! "AAIIIEEEEE!!" I stared as the dragon turned and I landed on her soft belly with an 'Ooph' and I stared and her as she flue like that.
'I think that would be a fine name, Alexis.'
I smile (again) and snuggled onto her soft belly. The fur tickled my nose and I laughed. 'This is great Tsunami, I've never felt free like this before.' I thought to her. Which was true. This is the first time I feel like I could do anything if I wanted to.
'I can tell you've had a rough life, Alexis. It's good to get away from it all.'
I nod and sat up on her belly. The wind felt really good blowing through my hair, way better then a swing! But then something really bad happened. I fell off Tsunami's belly! I closed my eye's screaming my head off but stoped when I felt that I stoped falling. I opened one eye then blushed like crazy when I saw Noah holding onto me bridal style. "Uh, uh... T-Thank you, N-Noah..." I studdered out and he smiled at me. "I'm just glad you're okay, Alexis." I blush more (if I can!) and fiddle (sp?) with my finger's. Then a thought hit me again. "Noah?" He nod's to me. "U-um, Do you have a dragon like I do?" It seemed like a stupid question, but I guess he deicided to humor me. "That I do, but all the younger dragon's are to stay at the school's where the juvenal's are." I stared at him. "School? We have to go to school?" I asked pouting which made him laugh. Oh what a nice laugh... Oh boy I think I'm falling for him. Heartache here I come. Anyway back to my question's. "So what do me and my brother have to do to get into this school?" He looked at me more concerned then ever. "You two have to complete a series of trail's that will prove you are strong enough to be apart of the Dragon's Clan." I stare at him and smiled my rare bright smile. "I know me and Kevin can do it if we try our best! Just have faith in us and we'll have faith in our self's!" I said and giggled at his shocked/happy face. I pull on my black and white hoodie then do something I know Kevin will kill me for later. I smacked Noah's hand's and he let go quickly without thinking and I fell out of his arm's, but I didn't scream this time. "Alexis!" Noah called out. I just smiled and straightened out my body like I was flying and Tsunami flue under me and we took off like a bat out of hell ahead of the other's and this time I was behind Tsunami's wing's not infront of them. I held on to Tsunami as she did flip's and spin's in the air and sometime's I'd let go so I could fall and let her catch me. Then I stood on her carefuly so I wont hurt her in anyway and turned to the other's behid us and waved at them. "I've never felt so great! I'm so glad I met you all!" I yelled to them and floped back down on Tsunami's back and enjoied these moment's of peace and happiness. I could see something far off in the distance and thought it best for Grampa to lead. "Tsunami drop back and let Grampa lead the way." I told her and she did as I asked and we flue low under Grampa. "Kevin, how are you doing?" I asked looking up at my brother who gave a shaky smile.
"I'm fine, Lexie. Oh and I'm going to kill you for scaring me like that!" I laughed nervously and tried to avoid him by talking to Grampa. "Hey, Grampa are we geting close?" I saw Gramp's look over at me and smile. "Aye, we are. As a matter of fact, we should be there in a few minute's." I smile and nod, making Tsunami drift back to the guy's. "Hey, guy's! Lovely weather we're having." I joked but Noah wasn't happy. "Don't ever scare me like that again, Alexis." I frown and look down shamefuly. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to worry you.." I said, "Well you did." I noded and had Tsunami fly a little farther ahead still looking away from him then looked forward. What I saw was amazing! It was a HUGE castle like house! It was so unreal, it was that big! Tsunami sored next to Grampa, I just had to ask. "Grampa, tha's where we're going?" He looked over and just smiled. "That we are young one." He said useing the nick name "Young One" like he has been doing since I met him. I guess it's only far since I liked to call him "Grampa", I mean he was sapost to be this highly strong, highly respected leader and I was calling him Grampa! Maybe it's becouse me and Kevin never had that loveabul old man that we would have called Grampa. Anyway, I was so wraped up in my thought's of longing that I didn't notice us touch down at the opeding of a huge door.
'We are here, Alexis. Alexis?'
I shook my head to clear away the thought's and slid off of Tsunami's back and walked up to Grampa, staying clear of the guy's and my brother. "Grampa, what is going to happen when we get in there?" I asked looking up at him. For his old age he was pretty tall. "You will be interveiwed by the other head Elder's and I. When we approve your stay here you will randomly pick a mass of trail's that will prove you are strong enough to be apart of this clan." He explained simply. "I see..." I mumbled softly, then Grampa grabed ahold of my hand and I looked up at him oddly. "don't worry, I know for a fact that you are strong, I can see it in your eye's as well as your brother's. You will be allowed to stay. Trust me." I stared at grampa surprised but then smiled. "Thank's, Grampa." He smiled and walked in pulling me with him and the other's following suit. Grampa lead us through whinding (sp?) hallway's and door after door and he had a good grip on my hand. "Grampa are we geting close?" I asked tring to keep up with his stride's. "That we are Young One. You have good timing." I smiled, that I did, but to other's it was bad. Haha. Bad for them!
As soon as that thought crossed my mind Grampa stoped and I bumped into him slightly. I stared at these huge golden doubled door's and he turned to me and the other's. "Only Alexis and I may enter as of now. You will all be told the out-come of her interveiw." With that he opened the door's and pulled me in with him. I gave my brother one last reasuring (sp?) smile before the door's closed. Grampa
let go of my hand after pulling me to a stop the was lit up by some sort of
spotlight. I spoted a chair in the middle of the room, but before I could sit down a
harsh voice spoke up. "Sit down, Ms. James." I didn't say a word only did as I was
told. Soon a whole row of desk's lit up all the desk's linked to each other with
about ten men in them. I looked to my far right and saw Grampa sitting there
staring at me like the other were. Questioningly. I wimmpered inwardly, of course
I would never let my fear be known. It was against everything I worked so hard
to build up. I was known as the tuffest woman on my block and at my school, at
the mall, at every skatepark, posibly the whole city! I was known for being calm
and cool, there was no way in hell's kitchen that I was going to let that all die
becoase these old grampa's might think I'm not worthy of their dumb clan! I sat
upright and put on my famous stone face pushing any fear or uneasiness.
The man in the middle spoke up first. "Alexis James. Before we begin, we would
all like you to know that there has not been a female in this clan for meny... Meny
year's." I looked at him brow rised. "So?" Was my only answer. Then the man to
the left of the guy in the middle stood. "So," He repeated, (sp?) "That's mean's
that you, Alexis James, will be the only female for mile's. Most female's that turn
out to be one of us is either, A) Not strong enough and end up dieing in the trail's,
B) chose not to join at all, or C) Lose their mind's tring to comprend (sp?) what is
going to be told here now." I surpress a laugh so not to afend (sp) the old man.
"Heh, not to be rude or anything, but I really don't care what has happened in the
past. All I care about is the here and now and if you think the turning me down
and leting my brother in this place will get rid of me you're all nut's! Me and my
brother have been together since we were born! We have bond that not even the
highly respected 'Elder's' can break, I will do anything to stay by his side even if
I'm usless to him and you I will not leave him nor my friend's!" I sat there in the
chair, back upright, knee's together, stone faced, hand's in fist, I was not backing
down from this fight no matter what. The man to the right stood. "What on earth
does a woman like you have to offer this clan?" I thought for a moment. "Probily
nothing at all." I answered truthfully. What did I have to offer? "But I asure (sp?)
you that I, Alexis Maria James, will stay faithful to the clan and if it call's for it I
will fight to protect the clan with everything I have." I said truthfully again. I was
not one for lieing. If it did come down to that I would fight with my life.
The old guy to the far left stood up next. "Why would we need you to fight for us when we have more then enough men who are stronger and more stable then a woman." I sighed inwardly, these guy's were big sexest'. "More stable huh?" I mused. If only they knew. "I am maybe the most stable person in the whole freakin' place. It's a miricle (sp?) that I'm not locked up some where in a paded room. I have been tortured mentaly (sp?) for most of my life since I was ten year's old, if I haven't gone loney toony by now then I not going to at all, you can be sure of that." I leaned back in my chair now annoied with all their sexest demeaner. (sp?) "Listen here, again not to be rude but, yall's sexest demeaner is really getting on my never's. I know this is probly hurting my chance's on staying her but like I said there is no way you can get rid of me even if my brother is staying.
