Ch 8 Lightning

"Oh my gosh!" Davis whispered to himself. "A Dragon!"

The baby dragon was only 5in. tall and 10 in long. It was red with orange wrings. Its scales were shiny in the moonlight. Itwas around twelve o' clock and the dragon seemed to be hungry Davis thought because it had been searching for something. Davis went into his bookbag and pulled out some beef jerky. He cut it with his pocket knife into little squares and then gave it to the dragon. The dragon tried to fly to it but couldn't because his wrings were so small. The wrings were only about 6in wide each, but not enough to lift itself. Davis reached to touch its red, shiny scales, but once he touched it, he yelped and shot back with pain. He didn't know what just happened, but he could feel the pain coursing through his vains. It was amazing that T.K. didn't wake up when he yelped. It was two hours till he came back to his senses.

He still couldn't believe or figure out what happened. The dragon had eaten the rest of the beef jerky and fell asleep right by Davis. It woke up when Davis came back to reality. It yawned again and got up. Davis managed to get up and sit onhis bed. The dragon wanted to get up on the bed with him, but it was to high for it. Davis hesitated to touch it again, but something inside him was saying it was Ok. He bent down to pick it up and then he picked it up and nothing happened. He sighed in relief and place it on the bed. The dragon ran to his pillow with incredible speed and laid down on it. 'Wow' Davis thought to himself. He pushed that pillow a little to the side, so he could put his extra pillow next to it. He thought about what he should name it. He lifted it up and saw it was a boy. He set it back on the pillow.

"I'm gonna name you...Lightning." Davis said satisfied.

In the morning, Davis was the first to get up. He wandered if he should tell his friends, he agreed not to tell them yet which means he had to hide Lightning from T.K. for now. Davis realized that there were two gigantic closets, one for him and one for T.K.. He opened one of the closets and he saw that it was bigger than he thought. It wasalmost asbig as their room. Anyway, he put his stuff in it and he set a little bed for Lightning. The bed was made of some sheets that he found in the closet. He then realized that TK had a basket in his closet, but he had no idea why. He took the basket and put the sheets he found in it. he put the basket in the front corner of the closet.

"There." he said to himself. "Hey Lightning come here."

The dragon came running again.

"Stay he in your bed while I get you some meat in the kitchen." Davis said.

Davis closed the door to the closet and ran to the kitchen.

"Hey Davis." Kari said.

"Hey." he replied.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Getting something to eat." He said.

"Hey Davis." Kristen said coming in.

"Bye guys." Davis said running out the door.

"Did Davisjust run outwithapound of raw meat with him?" Kristen said.

"I guess." Kari replied.

"Hmm. Something fishy is going on and I'm gonna find out what it is." Kristen said with an evil laugh.

"You do that." Kari said a little disturbed.
