Daughter of the dragon

Prologue

The cheetah burst into the thick forest, it's strange icy blue eyes piercing. It's golden pelt was tugged by the branches around her. Thumps behind it showed it's pursuers were nearing. It sped up, swerving sharply around the many trees.

A small purple and pink bag hung from it's neck, and it hurt the soft breathing of the young one inside. The cheetah felt like sighing contentedly, but it was too busy running for it's life, and the child's.

Suddenly, a black figure, similar to the cheetah, bust from the trees, blocking the way of the cheetah.

"Give up, stupid fur-ball," the panther growled, arching it's back angrily.

The cheetah sighed in frustration, and transformed.

It was only 5 seconds, but it felt like slow motion. Soon, the tail retracted, and the cheetah began to stand on it's hind legs. It's front paws began to grow fingers, and lengthen, the fur disappearing into the, now, strange creature's clothing.

Soon, a young women with honey gold hair stood where the cheetah had once been, wearing a golden dress that reached her knees. Around her head was a golden head band, with silver crystals laced around it's sides, and an auburn diamond right at the top.

The strangest part of the beautiful young women was her piercing icy blue eyes, light as the ocean on a beautiful day. That's what the sight of her reminded lots of people, a golden day while looking out at the sea, if you noticed the eyes, that is. Which, the eyes were not heard to notice.

At the same time, the panther had transformed, and now stood a black hair girl with silver-blue eyes. She wore a black jumpsuit, and she was glaring at the pretty golden girl in front of her.

There was rustling around them, and the young women with the honey and gold colored hair realized she was surrounded. "Keller, if that's your name-I think it is- please let me pass. This is important!"

The black haired girl snorted. "I must be common, if a low dragon like yourself would know my name." The black haired girl-Keller- didn't soften her glare. "Give me the reason why you must pass, foolish dragon."

The other young women sighed. "It's none of your business, Daybreaker!" She glared, her eyes even more icy than before.

"Then you may not pass, and we will kill you," Keller hissed, and glared.

Another boy walked up, and lay a hand gently on Keller's shoulder. "Calm down, Keller. The dragon must be fairly desperate. We can let her go with a warni-"

Keller turned to glare at the blond boy with the green eyes. "But she's a dragon! If we kill her, there is one less to worry about!"

Suddenly, a wailing erupted from the golden women's back. Keller and the boy turned to look at her strangely.

The golden women sighed in frustration. She took the bag from her back, and pulled out a tiny baby, it's honey gold hair swirling with the small wind. She gently rocked the baby. "Shhh, Crystal. We'll see Mommy soon. Mommy and Daddy aren't far."

The baby looked around with ivy green eyes, looking at all of the daybreakers she could see. She giggled in excitement, and tried to reach for Keller, but the golden girl kept a good grip on the child. "No Crystal. You know how mad Daddy would be."

The baby turned to looked at the young golden women, and began to wail again. Keller noticed the pretty aqua dress the baby wore, matching the child's skin tone perfectly. The child was pale, obviously a vampire.

But her eyes weren't like vampire eyes. They were too animal, but too sweet, like an excited and loyal puppy, who would love anyone.

Keller sighed. "Alright, go quickly. But don't come around here again, or I will be forced to kill you, and the child, if she is with you."

The young golden women nodded in gratitude. "Thank you. My brother would have my head and would have shared it with his wife if I had been late with their daughter." She gently put the child back in the bag, and tucked her in with warm, fuzzy, aqua blue blankets.

She transformed back to a cheetah, and ran passed the Daybreakers, and zooming out of the forest with as much speed as she could muster.
