DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately the only characters I own are Dragon, and Lily
Ann everything else belongs Diana Wynne Jones.
Chapter Three
"Put your pencils done, and hand your tests in to me," Mr. Saunders told his students.
Everybody let out a groan, not one of them apart from Dragon studied for this test, thus they were positively sure they got everything wrong. Dragon of course, though she did a mediocre job, I could have written down a more detailed answer about Atlantis but my hand just started to cramp up, ah oh well I'm pretty sure I did good anyways. She went and handed in her test, it was two hours before dinner and lessons had ended. She started for the door, when Mr. Saunders asked her to stay after.
"Now Dragon, I know you're bound to still be a bit mad about yesterday, but Chrestomanci and I feel that you are antisocial and you need to more social, is it making sense to you now?"
Make sense to me now? It didn't make sense to me then! Dragon choose to silent rather then voice her thoughts.
"I take you don't like talking because you're still hurt about your parents' deaths? Don't bother answering, I know you won't. Well I best let you get ready for dinner, of you go," Mr. Saunders told her.
Dragon left his room, know this wasn't going to be the last time someone told her she was antisocial. She went up to her room, went in to her bathroom and took a nice long bath.
DINNER
"Well Dragon, how was lessons today?" Millie asked.
Dragon liked Millie, she was so...bright and cheery it made her feel very welcomed. With her simple features, she seemed always smiling.
"Honestly Dragon, it's rude not respond when someone asks you a question!" Lily Ann told her, she saw other people around the table nod there heads in agreement, she deliberately ignored her sister, it came so naturally.
"Hello Dragon, I was talking to you!" Lily Ann said exasperatedly. "I know you can speak, you spoke to mum and dad!"
When Lily Ann spoke of her parents, a sharp pain hit Dragon right in her heart. She had no right whatsoever to talk about them like that, she felt her self become a little irritated.
"Geesh Dragon, you're just like mum, she ignored me too!" Lily Ann said hotly. Dragon became infuriated, she felt tears of anger drop down her cheeks, but she still didn't answer.
"They weren't that great of parents you know," Lily Ann said to Millie, who looked taken aback with that statement.
Dragon found her self standing up, and slapping her sister smartly across her face. Feeling the anger rise, all that hate she felt towards her suddenly came out.
"You selfish little BRAT! They were great parents! They got you everything you asked for when it came to your birthday or Christmas! They spent so much money on you, and when it came to me I got ZILCH! Do you have any idea what it feels like knowing how they died, and in what manner? No probably not, you're too busy thinking of yourself! Well I do, I know how they died, I know what killed them! Do you know how many times I had to lie to people at their funeral? Do YOU? LOADS! And all you did was sit at home and dance up and down with joy because their...their...dead. I WATCHED them die, and couldn't do anything to stop it! It's all my fault there dead, all my FAULT. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, knowing exactly what his voice sounded like, knowing exactly how bad his breath smelt, and trust me...OH I HATE YOU! WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE DIED INSTEAD OF THEM? AT LEAST YOU DESERVE IT!"
Dragon, ran out of the room, her face in her hands, crying her eyes, out. Remembering how stunned her sister looked, and how surprised everybody looked at her sudden out burst. She ran all the way to her room, looked the door, and flung herself on the bed, and sobbed even harder, until she fell asleep. That was how Chrestomanci found her.
AFTER DRAGONS DEPARTURE BUT BEFORE CHRESTOMANCI FOUND HER
"Well at least we know she can talk," Mr. Saunders said. Lily Ann was still stunned at the fact her sister wished she were dead, so she didn't respond to it.
"Poor dear, imagine, knowing exactly how your parents died and knowing she could of done something to prevent it from happening, all though, if she did, I'm pretty sure she would be dead along with them." Millie said rather sadly.
They ate the rest of their dinner in silence. After that Chrestomanci said he would go check on Dragon, see if she was ready to talk. He found her asleep curled into her pillow, face swollen, and cheeks with tear streaks down them. He decided he would talk to her in the morning, and that's what he did, despite Dragon's silence.
END OF CHAPTER THREE
A/N Want to thank all my reviewers, making my all time record 2, I'm hoping to break that record though. Sorry if this appears to be short. But at least Dragon talks in this one, in a manner that I happen to enjoy. So please review, and good fortune might smile down upon you.
