Thalia crouched behind a bush. She watched Amalthea carefully. Thalia never seemed to be able to get close to the stupid goat. She'd been following it for almost a week.

Thalia stood up, careful to be as quiet as possible. She slowly inched toward the goat in the small clearing of trees in the forest. Right after Thalia had taken one step, the goat disappeared. She stomped her foot in frustration. Calming herself down, Thalia searched the area for Amalthea.

Soon, Thalia had found something she wasn't looking for. There was a raggedy mountain, covered with trees. In front of her was a big opening. A cave. Thalia knew the cave wasn't normal. The whole thing seemed to emit a strange chill. Thalia couldn't see anything inside the cave. The whole thing was dark.

Suddenly, Thalia heard a noise behind her. She spun around, her weapon drawn. No one was there. She stared for a bit, then turned back to the cave. And there she was. Amalthea was right there. The goat stood next to the entrance of the cave. It's eyes seemed to draw Thalia in. Amalthea nudged her head slightly, as if telling Thalia to go in the cave. Was this what Amalthea was leading her to? Thalia couldn't trust the goat could she?

Finally, Thalia gave in and stepped into the cave. The moment she stepped in, the darkness overwhelmed her. Thalia reached into her bag and pulled out her flashlight. The flashlight didn't help much, but at least Thalia could see a few feet in front of her.

Thalia seemed to have walked for hours until she saw a dim red light shining deeper in the cave. Her pace quickened. When Thalia got to the light, she realized it was coming from a creature. The light came from it's closed eyes. The creature seemed to be sleeping. Thalia studied closer until she noticed the scales and the extra head. It was a dragon.

Thalia backed away slowly. Still, facing the dragon, Thalia kept walking back. When she was far enough, she started turning around. Big mistake. She immediately stepped into a small ditch. Thalia swore under her breath. Another big mistake. The dragon's eye snapped open. It looked at Thalia and charged.

Thalia turned around and ran. The dragon stomped after her. The flash light flew out of Thalia's hand, and she was surrounded by darkness.

Was it good? Please R&R! I'll update soon.
