Chapter 2
Maria's P.O.V.
I walk into the warm, dark chamber following Seth. He flicks on the lights and all i could get out of my mouth was 'Wow'. I was utterly stunned by the magnificent beasts in front of me. I could tell Cacey was also, her mouth was wide open. Cacey immediately starts searching for the perfect one and comes across a Changewing. I eventually grow bored of watching her choose and head off to find my own. I see a large blue dragon with large spikes on the tail. "It's a Nadder." Seth spoke from across the dim hallway that we stand in. I see Cacey still looking, so she must have changed her mind. I hope she heard that our launch date was moved back. She'll be crushed.
Cacey's P.O.V.
Wow. These bad boys really live up to the reputation. I see a Changewing to my right but a dark cage to the left of Maria catches my eye. "Seth. What is in that cage?" "I actually don't know." He answers scratching his head. I slowly walk up to the glass window, careful not to disturb whats inside. As I reach the area, a large bright light looks like its being thrown at us. The light hits the glass and dissipates before our eyes. Maria and Seth jump slightly back, because the glass had bowed slightly outward. I didn't even flinch. The whole thing fascinated me. I didn't realize what I actually did until its too late. I had opened the door to the cage and put me inside. I turn around facing the glass seeing Maria and Seth's faces near it, looking for me. I hear a low rumbling and turn around. What I see is simply...beautiful. A long dragon with navy-black scales stands before me. Night Fury. As soon as the logical thought crosses my mind, I feel terrified. I am at the will of a bloodthirsty dragon. Who I might also mention spit out a plasma blast at the glass. What happens next is amazing. The dragon doesn't act aggressive, it just sits back on its haunches looking anxiously at my dragon cage cards. Like it wants to be my dragon. I put it in the card and slide it into my pocket. No way this guy is getting out. I exit the cage calmly and is greeted by a worried Maria and an irritated Seth. "What in the HELL do you think your doing? Seth grumbles in my direction. "Getting a dragon. As Zach told us too." I grumble back. He sighs then hugs me. I already feel the blush climbing my face. "Don't try anything like that again." He whispers in my ear. Keep. It. Together. I try to think of unappealing things, but Maria still notices my blush. I hear her giggle uncontrollably behind us. Seth releases me of our hug and then leads me and Maria back towards the school. In our class of about 250 students, I feel like a half wallflower-half popular girl. And let me tell you, I love it. Some people know you, but you still don't hear gossip about yourself. Apparently that didn't work today. As soon as I enter the classroom, 248 heads turn to meet my, Maria, and Seth's entrance. Whaaa? Mostly, no one notices. Until I see the reason why. "Cacey! Seth! Maria! Welcome back." Shit. This. Is. BAD. I fake a smile and turn towards our teacher, Ms. Hunter. "Hi, Ms Hunter." I speak for the others' sake. "Why don't you tell the rest of the class why you were so late?" "Well, Ms. Hunter, May i use the front of the classroom?" "Yes, of course." "The reason my classmates and I were so late is because of this." I whip out my Night Fury and then all hell breaks loose. I see girls screaming in fright, boys shouting in amazement and shock, Ms. Hunter calling the office. Before any of this happens, the dragon nudges me towards the window and slides me onto its back. The dark beauty releases a plasma blast into the large room and hits directly on the window so, perhaps a dragon could fit through. My dragon is friggin awesome. After the plasma blast, the whole room falls silent. In awe of my dragon, I guess. I hear a shout from my left and look to see Seth yelling at the class how they should act in an emergency. I chuckle at his humor until I am lurched forward with my dragon until I realize the she was flying. I hear shouts, but again I don't listen. I am already in the clouds, happy as can be. I land Spark, (thats her new name), and sleep in the forest to the left of the school. I wake up in my room. As I get up, I see a very odd looking dress at the end of my bed. On it is a note : Wear this tonight. Your grandfather is having a party. P.S. This is an Earth-Land dress. Hmmm. I guess so. I look carefully at the dress. It is a ruffly turquoise short, and I mean SHORT, dress. I quickly change and put my hair up in its usual ponytail. I ride my bike to my grandfather's mansion and casually walk up to the door. Lets get this over with.
