Chapter Six

The girl led Jake up into the trees, jumping from tree to tree like monkeys. He winced after hitting a tree branch with his forehead. "Do we have to go this way?" Jake said, rubbing his forehead. She laughed and jumped again. "Yes." They finally reached the last tree and she shushed Jake. The gates were heavily guarded. She looked around and smiled. "Have you ever watched Tarzan?" She said, getting a thick vine. Jake's eyes widened. "No. No way." He said, backing up. The girl grabbed him by the shirt as he slipped back. She hefted him up on her shoulder and swung on the vine. Jake was smart enough not to scream. They landed safely and they crouched to the end of the walkway and peered into the courtyard. The large demon creature was yelling at different monsters. The two dragons carrying the pearls were back, flattening their rotting ears. The girl rose up and threw a rock at one. It winced and glanced up. She pulled Jake back just in time. It looked back at its master. The girl went back and threw bigger rock. They heard it whispered to the other. They flew up. As they reached thier height, the girl grabbed them by their necks and pulled them closer. The girl slammed the dragons to the floor. Jake covered their mouths, wincing at the stench and slime. The girl grabbed the pearls and threw Jake his. He took his hand off and grabbed it. The dragons screeched. Red mist flew out of the pearl and surrounded Jake. "Dragon Up!" He cried. The fire came and surrounded him. Jake waited. No pain. He felt the changed. He turned. White mist surrounded the girl. She smiled and motioned for him to follow. "Why aren't you a dragon?" He asked, going to her. "I'm not allowed to morph here. And, when I come out of this place, the full moon is up so I'll still be human." She clambered on him. "Fly straight up. Don't worry about air. Quickly now." She said. He jumped up and flew. As they climbed higher in the sky, it got warmer and warmer. "Slow down or we'll hit the ground on the other side!" She told him. He slowed a bit and saw the dark cloud's edge. He burst through it and saw the desert ground. He pulled up. "Head North. We will get to New York in... fifteen minutes." Jake nodded then stopped. "But it took hours for us to get here." He said. "Yeah. The wind was going the way we were going. Making it harder for them to get here. The wind is on our side, Jake Long, we will go faster." She explained. "Now, your grandfather. He is a dragon, right?" She said. Jake nodded. "Then your mother or father, depending on which is their father, is a dragon. And if you have an older or younger sibling, they are probably dragon too." Jake nodded again. "Mom, sister." He answered. "Oh. And your father, does he know you and your family are dragons?" She continued. "No. Why?" "I think you should fly faster, Jake. The monsters from hell attack the innocent first. The ones that are oblivious to magic. Then they go for people who know magic. Then magic creatures. Hurry! The dark sun is near the full moon." She explained. Jake nodded.

He landed in a nearby alley and went back into human form. They ran to his house. Grandpa and his mother greeted them. "Jake, what is happening?" Grandfather asked. "Ask..." Jake turned to her. "I still don't know your name." "That is because I don't have one. Just call me Silver for now." She whispered, avoiding their gazes. Jake almost saw the sadness on her face and decided not to ask why. "Okay, Silver, can you tell them, quickly before my dad comes home?" He said. She nodded. She turned to them. "Jake's Grandfather, mother, every..." She started.
