I awoke at sunrise, once again before everyone else. I walked through the forest aimlessly, memorizing every tree, every branch. I started walking back in the direction of the camp we had made when I had heard someone move, and soon found out it had been captain becker. We both sat next to each other, watching as the city started to stir. We had left my father back at ellesmira, against his wishes, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to go to the city with the others today,but I didn't mind. I could smell the fresh scent of rain on the horizon and wanted to build a shelter for when everyone got back. I heard someone yawn behind me and turned to see both scoble and the doctor doctor were waking up. I also spotted abbie and conner sat in a tree a little way off. I smiled.

"mornin' sleepy heads," I told them and scoble turned her attention to me rapidly, her eyes brighter and sharper than I had ever seen them. It had been a full moon last night and would be again tomorrow. She had told us that she could control when she 'changed' but that it put her in an odd mood. She sniffed the air.

"rain," she grunted as she got up, not looking to pleased about it. Megan and Caitlain nodded to each other. I had completely forgot about them until now and felt renewed happyness that they were here.

"what's the plan, Stan?" the doctor asked, cheerful as ever. I paused momentarily to see if anyone else was going to speek, but they didn't.

"you guys go to the city. I cant cause im an elf, and elf's don't usually come to uru'bean. It smells like its going to rain, so I will make a shelter. Megan, Caitlain, can you magic up some clothes?" I asked them and they both nodded again before both saying some words under there breath. Two piles of clothes appeared on either side of where they were sat and both reached over to get them, not realizing what the other was doing.

"ummm… guys?" I asked them both. They both looked at me and I signalled at the two lots of clothes.

"megan, magic yours away. I got this." Caitlain said to her.

"no, you. Mine are way better." megan replied. My only thought was that this was going to be another very long argument.

"you guys choose." Caitlain told us. "you'll be wearing them." with that things went quickly. Everyone rushed around, going into the the forest to get changed. then they all went in a big group and suddenly I found myself all alone, just me and the forest. I started work immediately, going deeper into the forest and finding wood to build the shelter.

I had just finished putting huge leaves on the outside of the structure and had sat down when it started raining. It was sudden, with no other warning than the smell that had hung around all morning, carried on the wind. It was a heavy rain, going straight down and soaking anything and everything. I was dry under the shelter, and it was begging to warm up slightly. A few minutes later an alarm sounded in the direction of the city and I heard footsteps. They were quick, the people were running or jogging quickly. They were soon at the structure I had built and as I watched seven dripping masses settled down with me, one shaking his head and spraying us all with slightly murky water.

"eewww… thanks becker," megan said, as everyone around me wrung out their hair or took off their cloaks. Caitlain held out a basket for me.

"we already ate, but we got you some food to," she told me and I took out slightly soggy paper. I unwrapped it to find a still slightly warm pasty nestled inside. I ripped it in half, releasing the sweet smell of slightly undercooked pastry and vegetables with gravy. I sighed in comtent before quietly nibbling on the pieces.

"what's going on?" I asked, I could still here the alarm going in the back ground.

"the city is under curfew. Something about someone trying to escape with the last dragon egg." megan said as I licked my fingers, savouring the flavour. What she said snapped me right out of my oblivion.

"whaaaaa?.." I asked, completely taken by surprise.

"its true," Caitlain told me, watching as I began to stress out.

"bu -bu -bu -but, we- we have to save evie. How are we going to shave her now!?!" I finally managed to speak, though my toungh felt swolen in my mouth and my lips frozen stiff.

"witches, remember?" Caitlain said, as if that helped the situation at all. I sighed in defeat.

"do you here that?" Becker asked suddenly, jumping up. We all stared at him, taken completely by surprise at his outburst.

"cool beans!" I familiar voice half screeched as someone jumped from the shadow.

"AAAHHHHHHH!!!!" Becker screamed like a girl for a few seconds before Evie put her hand over his mouth to muffle the noise.

"Evie!" I said cheerfully, getting up to hug her even though she was also dripping wet.

"horsy!" scoble screeched, running past Evie back into the rain and taking the reign from her. It was only then that I realised that there was something wrapped round Evie's neck, and what she was wearing. She saw me looking and chuckled self consciously.

"yeah, I know right? Weird or what?" she told me before we both went and sat in the dry. As she sat she pulled whatever it was off her neck and put it on her lap. Scoble had come in from the rain, still holding onto the horse.

"its called night fire, by the way." she said, before fainting on my shoulder, but out of exhaustion or stress I wasn't sure, as just then I saw what it was in her lap. A beautiful little green dragon.

didn't I say? Im just as mad as evie!!!!

roawrrrr!!!!!! Im a dinosaur!!!

I like the idea of superman screaming like a girl, didn't you?

And I made it up myself!
