I'm sorry this took so long I was writing the chapter of my own story Paradisian Ways lala.

Chapter 7:The Starting of a Forbidden Friendship

I looked at the slimy fish and reminded myself why I was doing this. I had brought a shield just in case. I was at the cove again; I couldn't see the dragon/girl either. I threw the Icelandic cod into the cove. The two rocks I was standing just behind made some sort of opening. Nothing happened to the fish. I poked my head to check that the cost was clear and walked in. Unfortunately the shield got stuck in-between the two rocks. I tried to move it but it wouldn't budge. In the end I just slid under the shield and tried to tug it from the other side.

Stuck stiff. I thought sourly. I picked the fish up by the gills and walked over to the centre of the cove, looking everywhere but behind my back. I heard snuffling and turned slowly around. There it was the Darkness Glider. She was in dragon form. She came slowly down a rock and sniffed the fish in my hand. She was about two meters away when I held the fish out to her.

She was about to take a bite when she saw something on my belt. It was the dagger that I carried everywhere with me. Of course she would be afraid of it. I tried to kill her with the very same thing. I slid the dagger out of my belt and dropped it, at arm's length, on to the ground. It wasn't enough for her, so I took the dagger and chucked it into the water.

She sat, on her hunches, with a confused look. Her ear flicked once. Her pupils were dilated as well. I held the fish out once more. She crept closer and opened her mouth. Inside where a pair of pink gums, no teeth.

"You're toothless, huh. I could have sworn you had..." her teeth appeared in her mouth and took the fish right out of my hands. "Teeth." I laughed a little, nervously. She looked at me like she was trying to ask me a question.

"I know your secret; you can change into a girl." I said. She made a noise and changed into the girl that I saw yesterday. "You can talk to me."

"Is... this... your... breakfast?" she asked. I think she can't speak Norse very well. I thought.

"Well yeah." I said. "But you need it more." She didn't seem to hear the last part of the sentence though. She turned into to her full dragon form. Her face peered into mine. It became too much so I staggered back and she got me cornered onto a rock.

"I don't have any more." I whispered. Her eyes had become slits and looked up to the sky. She made weird noises. Out of her mouth came the half eaten fish that I had just given her.

"Oh, breakfast." I said. She had thought that I hadn't had breakfast yet. She turned into her girl form and looked at me. I looked back. It began to be uncomfortable. She looked at the fish and then to me. I realised what she wanted. I sighed and brought the fish up to my mouth. I took a largish bite and tried to sound like I wasn't about to throw up. Her ears perked p and then she swallowed. That meant I had to swallow.

I didn't want to upset her (she could turn dangerous ant any time so I had to be polite) so I swallowed. It tasted horrible. "Ugh the worst thing I have EVER had in my mouth." I whispered to myself. I smiled at the girl. She seemed to try to smile back. Her gums where showing under her lips. It was funny to watch. I remembered something my mother taught me.

'Scarlet, listen to me, if a creature you've touched gives you a warm feeling inside, then it is a good hearted creature and means you no harm.' She had said. I was going to try and shake her hand. She thought it was a threat and turned into a dragon and growled. She then flew off, over the lake. Her lost tail fin made her unbalanced in flight and so she crash landed.

I walked over to her, still in dragon form. She had burnt the ground to make it warm. She had spotted a bird flying up above. She watched it with longing eyes. When she looked down again I was there. Wearing the same goofy grin she tried to copy. She just flicked her tail in front of her face and ignored me. I could see the missing fin more clearly. It had been ripped from her tail.

A pang of guilt stabbed my heart. That must have hurt so much. I thought. I tried to brush my hand against the tail, both wanting to test the theory of my mothers and a check to see if there was any blood. But before I could do any of that, the dragon pulled her tail up and gave me a look that clearly said what?

I jumped up and walked the way I came. The dragon moved herself to hang upside- down on a tree just by her tail. Amazing tail muscles. I thought to myself. I had found a stick and started drawing the Darkness Glider. There was a noise and the dragon was at my side, though I was pretty shore she was in girl form. I kept drawing her though.

When I had almost finished her drawing, she walked off. A tree was being broken and I looked up. The girl had a small tree in her hands and looked like she was dancing and holding a tree in her hands. I had no idea what she was drawing but it looked like she was having a jolly good time doing so. She looked back at me and then put a dot somewhere and then carried on drawing. When she came near me she almost hit my head with the branches.

She had finished. She looked proud. I stood up to see a better picture. Then looked more carefully and found that the drawing was me. I took a step forward and accidentally stood on one of the lines. The girl started growling so I bang my foot up, the growling stopped. I put it down again, growling started. I did this two more times before I put my foot on a flat piece of dirt. I smiled at her and walked on the flat pieces of ground.

I had no idea what I was doing but I liked it. From the walls it would have looked like I was dancing. I wonder if the girl knew what dancing was. I walked a little more but when I felt hot breath on my back, I stopped. I turned around and there she was, half a foot away. I put my hand out for a hand shake. She flinched and growled. I brought my hand back.

"You haven't told me your name yet." I said.

"Nor... have... you." She said.

"I'm Scarlet." I said and put my hand out.

"I'm... Dagger." She said.

"Are you sure that's your real name, do you want a new one?" I asked.

"Yes." Dagger said.

"How about Asha?" I asked. "Asha Dagger."

"I... Like it." She replied and shook my hand. This was a starting of a very beautiful friendship.

"Oh no I'm late!" I said looking toward the sky. "I've- I've got to go. I'll come back tomorrow Asha!" I ran off.

"Good bye... Scarlet!" she shouted.
