Chapter 1 – Part 2
Once she appeared to the outside world, she could here rustling coming from the corner of the garden to where the rubbish bins laid. Astrid began to walk over to see bins knocked over and the rubbish bags ripped open as the moon appeared from behind the fluffy cloud. Shaking her head in frustration, she didn't seem to notice the figure coming out from the shadows of the outside castle walls coming close behind her.
Astrid quickly put together a pile of the rubbish and new her parents would deal with it in the morning. As she rose to look at her decent cleaning work that she never normally does, the light from the moon on the ground started to disappear around her. However, the shadow that casted over her was in the shape of a big head with two round ears and had two smaller shadows coming from the sides of its body. Astrid began to turn her body round slowly to see the slight shimmer of white scales, the ruffle of wings and the glow of big navy-blue eyes. When she had fully turned around, she faced the mysterious creature head on with only the shiver of cold appearing on her body than what many would class as fear. The creature began to bare its sharp teeth and growl at Astrid as way of defence. On the other hand, Astrid wasn't fazed by the intimidation of the beast in front of her and she began to walk closer to the beast which began to move backwards slowly. The creature then tried to jump to the side to avoid Astrid, but Astrid was much quicker and block its way and made the creature jump back in surprise. Astrid wasn't going to play this game all night and kept the creature in line and backing them up towards the doors of the basement. As one of the creature's back legs met the emptiness of the hole, it tried one last attempt to scare Astrid. However, Astrid wanted to show her own version of intimidation, she began face the creature head on and her eyes began to glow light blue more than they ever had and she growled in the deepest that her voice could go. "GET BACK INSIDE!" Astrid raged, and the creature fell back into the black abius of the basement. Astrid walked over to the door and jumped down to see two sets of eyes staring at her, the one of navy-blue and another of an aqua blue colour. Astrid turned her head to look away and stretched out her hand towards the two figures. With the glow of the moon pouring into the basement, the two creatures shuffled forward and placed their white scaled noses into the palm of Astrid hand. Astrid turned her head with her eye still glowing to smile and look at the two fully white scaled dragons in front of her.
What started as a chilled evening for Astrid, turned into so much more. But what's chilled life, when your family have human forms but your also a dragons, specifically a dragon species known as Lightfurys.
