I touched the stone. It was so pretty. I picked it up and the stone vibrated. With a cry, I dropped it on the ground. The stone moved and wobbled. There was a crack and then more cracks until something poped out of the hollow shell.
It was a green Dragon. It stared at me with large green eyes. It's body was emerald green. Small leathery wings protruded from its back and it flapped. Noble too, it held it head high.
It gave a small growl and pounced on my shoelaces like a puppy. I laughed and it's head whipped round to me. Then it climbed up my shoe, pawing at my leg. I reached down to pet it's head.
There was a sharp pain going up my palm. It was as if I was holding my hands in the flames of a fire. It felt like my skin would come out. With another cry I fell to the ground, everything going black.
When I awoke the dragon was nestled against my body sleeping. As it let out breaths steam flew from its nostrils. I pet the Dragon. Nothing bad happened. I picked it up cradling it in my arms. It was almost dark outside. Charlie would be home soon.
Inside my house I raided the freezer and found raw chicken. I set it on the counter, getting a pot to cook the meat in. There was a huff and a half snap. I turned around and the Dragon was tearing at the package. When it reached the chicken it squirmed with delight. I laughed and it rumbled it's chest.
Then it lay down with a sigh. I picked it up and carried it to my bed. It curled against the quilt and slept. I watched it sleep, stroking it's scaly head. My eyes drooped and I fell asleep.
There was a crash and I opened my eyes, I had been asleep for an hour. The Dragon was still curled up against the pillow. I got up and walked to the living room. It was Charlie. "Hey dad sorry I didn't make any dinner. I got tired and fell asleep". I blushed. "It's all Bells, I'm not really hungry anyway. Someone called in and said there were bodies in a warehouse. Looks like the attacks are coming in again. Wonder if it's those wolf's..." He trailed of.
"I doubt it is dad, anyway. I'm going back to sleep". I yawned hugely and turned up the stairs. "Are you you still hanging in there Bella?". I froze and whispered "yeah dad I'm okay". I walked up the stairs and brushed my teeth before returning to my room.
The Dragon was at the window staring at the moon. I watched it and walk over. I scratched it's jaw and it sighed. I crawled back into bed and fell asleep.
When I woke up it was morning. I stretched and threw of the covers before realising. I didn't have any nightmares! Excited I got up... where was the dragon? My fear went up a level and I scouted the room lifting up clothes and checking under the bed and in the closest for it.
There were some snaps outside and I turned to the window. Standing outside was a giant green Dragon. It was massive, and it's muscles ripped though it's body. It's ivory claws were sharp and it's neck was long and curved. It's head was pointed shaped it's eyes were that of a deep green. His shade of colour was darker then when I saw him last morning.
"How did you get so big"? I whimpered opening the window. It's head stretched inside and I stroked it's hard. It hummed in it's chest. Suddenly there was a probing in my mind. It was deep and alien to me. I opened my mind and there was a deep voice. "I'm firnen and you are my rider". I concentrated and thought "I'm Bella Swan and you are my Dragon. I sensed pleasure radiating from Forden.
Then I thought," How did you get so big in 8 hours!?. She sensed amusement as Firnen said, "I am a dragon I must grow quick in order to protect those I love. A hatchling would not survive against a predator".I nodded.
My mind stayed attached to his and I didn't feel the need to sever the contact. Then Firnen said" You are my rider, so you will ride with me! Come on!" I felt sick as I climbed though the window and onto the dragons head. Is slid down it's neck and nestled myself against his back. It was between his spike in the front of me and a spike in the back of me.
Are you ready, he asked. I felt his excitement mingle with mine and I shouted "let us ride!".
