Chapter One: The Fire
Staff and students alike looked up into the smoke-filled air trying to see the beast that had taken over Dragon Blood School. Christine and Romana huddled together holding onto the blanket that they have saved between them. Lightening lit up the sky, letting them catch a glimpse of the enormous monster. A black dragon sat on the school proudly, stretching his wings showing everyone that the school was his territory. The deep yellow eyes of the beast blended it with the stars, making the dragon almost impossible to see. His grey underbelly expanded as more smoke poured from the nostrils. The people outside gasped at his beauty as bright fire came from his mouth, adding strength to the flame that devoured the school. Thunder crashed through the sky as lightening stuck the ground near the school. Rain started to pour from the clouds above, but the fire did not weaken. The dragon roared at the people surrounding the school, warning them not to come nearer.
"Well, from lack of a better phrase to use, this sucks," Christine said, moving the blanket overtop of her and Romana, to lessen the strength of the rain.
Romana laughed lightly at the terrible situation they were in. "They asked for it though. Do you know the history of our school?" she asked her friend.
Christine shook her head. "I don't," she replied, wishing she had worn newer, and less holy, pyjamas.
Both of their eyes rose to look at the school as Romana began to tell the story. "Our founders built the school on dragon territory because..." she searched for the reason, "They were crazy I guess."
Christine nodded. "I knew about the dragon territory thing, that's why I came here," she looked up noticing a smaller, black dragon perch on a tower of the school.
Romana laughed awkwardly. "That's why I came too," she wiped the camera that she had around her neck. "Do you think any of our other stuff will be okay?"
A shrug was the first reply of Christine. "The dragon waited for all of us to get out of the school, I don't think it wants to roast our belongings," she said. "Or... it was a fluke that it waited for us to come out."
"Then all of our belongings are toast... literally. I'm glad I grabbed my camera," she smiled and looked at it.
Christine watched her closest friend adore her camera. "Why aren't you taking pictures?" she questioned.
Romana shrugged. "It's raining," she said. Christine just looked at her friend, hoping for a better excuse. Romana crossed her arms, "Fine, I'll take a picture."
The camera was raised up, protected from the rain by the blanket. Romana looked through the lens carefully, hoping the picture would be perfect. A flash lit up the sky, but blended in with the lighting that filled the clouds. The headmaster at Dragon Blood called over all of the students. Romana put the camera back around her neck and walked over with Christine to the pile of staff and students. "Due to the emergency here, we're going to be splitting up the students into the nearest schools, just for the time being. We'll send your things after we recover them," she said, and put out a small flame that had started on the tip of her hat. "If anyone is curious about why we haven't tried to put out the fire, it's because we cannot get near enough with one dragon there, let alone two. I have assigned each staff member a different school and they will collect a certain number of students depending on how much room the school has."
Professor Harrison, the headmaster, paced around the students for a moment, as if she was waiting for someone to speak. "Oh," Professor Scythe said from behind Christina and Romana. "I'll be going to Hogwarts, but I'm afraid they only have room for forty students. It might be best for everyone to pair up, since none of the school have an odd number open."
Professor Harrison nodded to Professor Scythe. "I agree with her," she said. "Pair up and the staff will grab you. Stand in the designated area after you've been chosen."
Christina and Romana looked to each other, and paired up. Professor Scythe tapped their shoulders and pointed to a spot for them to stand. They watched the school spilt up, as well as their friends. A sigh escaped from Christina's mouth. "What a way to start our last year."
