AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Tetra awoke; the dazed memory of falling through the air immediately stabbed at her brain, she wondered if she was dead.
The whole thing came then; the train, the figure, the wind, the stoppers, the voice, the fall... the landing.
Remembering all that, she knew she couldn't be dead... not yet.
She stood up; her vision cleared and unblurred. It was the middle of the night, and the crescent moon lit up her surroundings. She stood at the spot where forest meets field, at the top of a large, steep hill. The trees whispered as the breeze swept through, and the grass in the prairie rippled in the patterns of the wind.
Tetra looked around; on the ground beside her was her unconcious friend, Medli.
She dropped to her knees and shoved at her friend, "Medli! Medli, wake up!"
"Huh, whaa...?" Medli croaked softly as her eyes opened. "Where... ...OHMYGOD,WHATTHEHELL?" She stood up like lightning, and turned, gasping.
"Relax!" Tetra exclaimed. "You're fine!"
Medli calmed down, "Where are we?"
"I don't know," Tetra answered. "We could be anywhere!"
"Is this the same forest we started in?"
"Like I know!"
Ah, you're awake. The voice returned.
"Who's that?" Medli whispered.
"I dunno!"
Medli gulped, and then asked aloud, "Who's there?"
I am, the voice replied.
Suddenly, loud thumps started, partially rattling the ground under the teens feet. The became steady, until the thing making them appeared. The girls gasped.
A large, dark grey lizard-like creature appeared from the rooting corner of the trees to the teens right. It's cloudy eyes were fixed on them both.
"We're dead," Tetra whispered.
For a moment I thought you two would never wake.
The creature didn't move. Nor did the girls.
Well?
Medli and Tetra, without moving, glanced into each other's eyes in extreme fear.
What's wrong?
Medli whispered as softly as possible, "Is that thing talking to us?"
"I dunno," Tetra replied, just as softly.
Don't tell me you're afraid of me!
"Yup," Medli whispered again to Tetra.
"Definately."
I don't wish to harm you, the creature took a step forward, causing Medli and Tetra totake five steps backwards.
Maybe I should introduce myself. Tetra and Medli, paralyzed, watched as the creature bowed it's head. I am Chorae; daughter of Trianna and dragon companion of Neha, grand knight of King Andrew.
There was a pause.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The girls screamed and screamed, backing up as they did. Eventually, they both tripped on a large rock, sending them tumbling down the hill (still screaming) until they hit the bottom. Upon doing so, they got up quickly, and ran away.
The dragon named Chorae watched them run, and then made a shot exhale of smoke; probably a groan of some sort.
Tetra and Medli kept running until they couldn't see the dragon any longer.
