UNEXPECTED VISITOR

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME! I ALREADY TOLD YOU! YOU CAN'T HAVE MY BLOODY WINGS!" Amber screamed at the multiple hunters chasing her.

The last time they had come for her wings they had almost gotten them and the idiots had broken one in the process. Dragons are nothing without their precious wings and not nearly as fast. Now the dragon girl had to rely on her strong legs. Since she wasn't paying attention, she ran smack into a tree and landed on her backside.

Knowing she couldn't get away Amber decided to take a chance on her wings.

Beating her powerful wings to launch herself into the air, Amber felt and overwhelming pain shoot through her, but she ignored the agony she felt and looked around for shelter.

She swooped down, landing in the garden of the nearest manor and bolted up to the front door.

Pounding on the sturdy oak door, Amber screamed at the top of her lungs,"Open up! Please let me in! I'm being hunted help me please!" Going into a panicked frenzy, she continued beating on the door and chanced a glance behind her.

She squealed and the door was opened by a butler dressed all in black. Amber shot inside hiding behind the strange man as the leader of the hunting group made a grab at her.

She frantically looked around for a place to hide and upon spotting the doorway leading to the kitchen, decided that the pantry was the best answer. Shooting into the pantry, Amber had failed to notice that the butler was staring the hunting party down and warning them to leave.

In the safety of the dark pantry, Amber allowed herself quiet sobs, caused by the awful, searing pain in her left wing.

The pantry was opened by a blonde haired man with a stubbly face about an hour later.

"'Oy! Sebastian! I found the girl!" the man shouted, turning his head.

Four other people showed up then, only one of them female. Amber dried her eyes, not wanting to embarrass herself in front of these people.

"Sebastian, bring her to my office," said the smallest male.

"Yes, my lord," the butler, Sebastian replied, reaching in to grab her.
