Chapter 10: The Starting of Something

As she awoke the next morning, she hoped that what happened the other day was just a dream and nothing more, but as she looked over to her arm she saw the blue scales and bumps. Sighing, "I guess it time to get up and face the music."

Pushing back the flap of the tent, singling the others to my present, as I walked over to Duncan side, I sat down on a rock and laid my head in my hands.

"Do you want anything to eat?", Isabel asked me.

Nothing

"Do you want to talk about it?", she tried again.

Still nothing

Then Duncan finally lost it and stood up from his spot next to her with his temper rising he raised his hands in the air and yelled, "Tell us what happen, instead of feeling sorry for yourself!"

As I raised my head, I had a far away look, but as Duncan looked straight into my eyes he did not find the tear stains on my face that he was looking for. No, he saw sadness; probably for herself, pride; for her new abilities, and he raised his eyebrow for this one for he believe it was why she didn't talk to us right away... she didn't want to disappoint anybody.

Finally after sighing, while blowing a piece of hair out her face she asked, "do you have water? My throat feels like it as dry as sand."

"I thought you might want one went you got up.", Isabel said after handing her a bottle of water from a cooler.

After chugging half of it down, I finally came back up for air, "thanks", as I white the drops that was on my lips.

"No problem, feeling better?"

"Ya, for some reason I was feeling like I haven't had a drink in days." Finally standing on her feet and walked over to were the sun was, as it hit her scales it made them sparkled like diamonds as she stretched out her muscles from being stiff.

"So, how long was I out this time?", raising her arms to the sky.

"Just a day, are you going to tell us what happen Now?!", Duncan was getting more and more frustrated with this girl, even if she was his sister.

"Mum, let's see", pulling up a finger to start counting, "one, I learn I can breath under water two, the ocean floor is pretty three, I learned am the heir to under water clan and got hit into an abyss and became this four, I met the serpent from my dream and five, that dream came true.", she said after counting off her fifth finger.

After her explanation, Kenny looked at her with wide eyes, Isabel looked at her with sympathy, and Duncan looked at her with understanding, as he remember being in her place.

He squeezed her shoulder with a stern grip looking in her eyes with a determination look, "don't worry Crist we are going to get thought this."

"If ya say so.", I still had that far away look like I wasn't listening or I could less.

"Crystal are you ok?", Isabel asked me.

I glared at her, "am perfectly fine.", I told her, then finishing off my water holding the empty bottle in her hands.

"Come on, let get going both our moms are worry about us.", as he started to walk away.

"Wait!, how were you able to get in contact with them? We're in an other state.", I stopped him

He chuckled, "your almost seventeen, ever heard of a cellphone?"

I growled at him, "yes idiot dragon boy I know what that is, your point?", crossing my arms.

Sighing, "well, my mom worry a lot, so after my dad found me she got me one to make sure even if the city or I'am attacked again, she will know in her mind that I'am safe. Now come on, we kelt them waiting long enough let's get going.

(Not long enough), arms still crossed "how we getting there? I mean it not like you can fly all three of us back at once."

Smirking, " don't worry little sis, I also called someone who owes me favors."

"Oh ya and who might that be?", also smirking.

After saying that, a searchlight came down looking for us.

WooWoo! I finally finished this chapter. Am soo sorry that it took so long. English is getting me busy, that and I got grounded from here for a little bit, cuz I didn't study for my first Sociology test (well I did, but just before I went in to take it) and me thinking I did well on it, nope anyway I lived, am also sorry that this is not as long as I thought it was, you see I write my chapters on the notepad on my iPad, then copy and paste on here (it's easier that way) so sometimes it makes look longer and now am ranting.
