Isabel and her mum were driving down a fairly deserted road. Isabel marvelled at the landscape, it was so much different, yet so similar, to New Zealand. She hadn't been able to convince her mum to stop at the beach; instead her mum drove past it and across to Long Island.
"Mum?" Isabel whispered, as farms and trees flashed by.
"Yes Isabel?" her mum asked.
"Where are we going?" Isabel wondered. Isabel's mum sighed and pulled the car to the side of the road. Firstly, so she could look at Isabel when she told her this. Secondly, they were there.
"Isabel, you know how your father left us when you were little?" Isabel nodded. "Well, this is about him." Isabel sighed. The only memory she had of her dad was of the sound of warm laughter. It wasn't much but Isabel clung onto it, she had given up on the dreams but not on the laugh.
"Isabel, you know your great-grandfather came from Greece," Isabel's mum started.
"Yeah, yeah mum, I know. Grandad Jack then moved to America where he had you, and you've never known who your mum was. Then you moved to New Zealand after you found out you were pregnant with me. Got it." Isabel said, trying to get her mum to hurry up with the story.
Isabel's mum chuckled and tugged one of Isabel's curls.
"Oh Isabel. This isn't about your lineage. Honey, your father was unlike any man I have ever met. He was dazzling."
"Get to the point mum!" Isabel said impatiently, her ADHD showing through. Isabel's mum chuckled, she looked into her rear view mirror and paled instantly.
"Quick Isabel! Get out!"
"What? Why?"
"Just do it!" Isabel's mum cried frantically. Isabel, though confused, did as her mother asked. She looked behind her and squinted.
In the distance she could just make out what seemed to be a giant lizard running towards them. She squeaked but managed to keep calm. Well, as calm as you can be when a giant lizard is running towards you.
"Grab your bag and run to the top of the hill." Isabel faced the hill her mother pointed out as she closed the boot. "There you will stay for the summer. There you will find answers."
"But-" Isabel hesitated.
"Just go! And remember, I love you. But whatever you do – " Isabel didn't hear the last bit because she was already running.
"I love you mum!" she yelled over her shoulder as she made her way through bushes, trees and over logs. She ran until her lungs were burning but with every step she imagined the horrifying lizard coming closer. This kept her motivated. When she finally got to the top of the hill she gasped. There standing in front of her was a dragon, weren't those supposed to be mythical? As she stared at the dragon she forgot to look where she was going and ran straight into a tree.
"Ow!" she cried as she crumbled to the ground and her world started to go black. The last thing she saw was a boy leaning over her who had the same colour eyes as her.
