Chapter 3

The next morning Drag woke up and heard a noise from his window. He looked outside of it and all the little children were calling him. He got up and saw the men walking up the rocky path to the mountain. He ran out side and got in front of them and said, "What are you doing? You don't need to mine for them let them come down here if they want our force and will. It will be in their face!"
All the men yelled, "Ya, bring them down here to fight us."
So all the men and Drag dropped their old picks and shovels and started to walk back to town. Drag saw some young dirty teenagers throwing rocks at a wall. He went up to them and said, "What are you guys doing?" They replied, "We are trying to get a rock to go through that hole in the wall." "Why?" "Our fathers told us that if we could get a rock through that hole from the path we would be considered a fighter and get a bow."

Drag walked up to the dirt path and picked up a small round rock. Stared at the wall. Threw the rock as hard as he could at the hole. The rock went flying by them all as they could hardly keep up with it. Suddenly, BOOM! The rock had broken the thick stonewall into rubble. Instantly all the kids ran from the wall and Drag followed them. They ran into the woods and followed a hidden path that was behind a bush.

They stopped when they got to a dirt mound. The oldest of the kids walked up and pushed against the dirt mound. Suddenly something started to move. Drag looked closely at it and saw that it was a door. Drag walked up to the kid and put his hand on the kid's shoulder. The kid backed up and then Drag ran up and hit the mound and the door flew open. The kids stared with their mouths hanging wide open at Drag in amazement. They all walked in and sat down in stick chairs that they had made. One kid stood up and said, "Hey Drag, how old are you and how did you do all that?" Drag answered, "I think that I am 19, and my father told me that I was from God and that I am very unique at a lot of things." "You are part demon aren't you we could all see it in your eyes when you fought the demons in to town circle." "Yes, I am part demon. I have learned to control it though now. I can turn into a demon at anytime or I can look like a human as I am now." One of the younger kids stood up and said, "Hey can you do that eye thing again. You know when your eyes turn blood red."

Drag stood up and flexed his muscles. Suddenly blue hair started growing. His muscles got huge. His teeth became fangs. His fingernails became claws and his eyes turned blood red. All the kids jumped up and hid behind their chairs in fear. Drag said, "At this stage I am not too much of a demon that I can't control my self. I hope that I never have to open my full power that I can feel inside of me, because I might become a full demon and not be able to stop myself." Drag turned back to looking like a human. The kids came out from behind their chairs and smiled. They all walked out of the mound and they saw a group of girls by the lake. The oldest of them signaled for a huddle. The boy said, "Hey lets make a plan to scare the girls." They all talk and make a plan. The girls hear a splash to the right of them. They all look to the right. Suddenly they hear a splash behind them and they all turn around. Three of the boys get in the lake and swim out a little. Instantly they are pulled under water as they scream. All the girls screamed with a very high ear piercing noise. A dark figure popped out of the water and stared at all the girls. They stood up and threw down their towels. Then screamed, "Drag that is not funny!" Drag turned back to human status and laughed so hard that he cried. . Drag walked up a hill to watch the beautiful sun set. Drag said, "Beautiful." Mary walked up by him and said, "Yes it is but how did you know I was here?" Drag stood up and walked by her "I wasn't talking about the sun I was talking about you." Drag put his hand in her hair and Mary put her hand in his and they shared a romantic kiss as the sun rose. Mary smiled at Drag and ran off back into the city.
