Chapter 10
I could feel a wide grin grow on my face as I continued to look at the creature standing just in front of me. I couldn't believe my eyes. The being that stood before me was about the size of the enderdragon and was completely covered in black scales. It had powerful-looking legs with deadly sharp claws, swift agile wings and a well-built body and a long slick tail.
Blood red eyes stared back at me as I watched the dragon. "Hello, can you talk?" I asked. Suddenly the dragon began to shrink, becoming the shape of a human. Instead of a dragon, almost an exact replica of me stared back the only difference was the red eyes and no sunglasses.
"H-how did you do that?" I asked astonished
"I just copied what you looked like so that I can talk to you, because I don't have my own human form. I don't really know how I am able to copy, I just can." The copy said sounding exactly like me.
"Ok, well what is your name then?" I asked curiously.
"Um… well… I don't really have a name…" The copy of Sky said.
"Oh, well… um…" I trailed off.
"I like to catch things if that might help with a name." The copy said smiling.
"How about… Starcatcher? At least for now so we can call you something unless we find a better name to call you by. How does that sound?" I asked the copy.
"Starcatcher… I like the name, sure and for short, Star." Star said excitedly.
"Exactly," I said. "It's very nice to meet you Star. My name is Sky." I said politely.
"It's nice to meet you too Sky." Star replied.
"By the way, if I might ask, why were you chasing my friend?" I asked.
"I was just relaxing under some shade, sleeping soundly. When I heard a stick break causing me to slightly wake up, but I thought nothing of it so I went back to sleep. Suddenly I felt a great pain in my tail. I lifted my head and looked over only to see a sword half-way severing my tail!" Star exclaimed.
"Uh huh… I see…" I said looking back at the house, seeing Jason looking down sheepishly. I looked back at Star. "Would you like to come in? I have healing powers so I can fix your tail." I asked.
"Are you a sorcerer?" Star asked.
"No, I'm a Skydancer," I said.
"Really, I thought that they were all dead. Guess not…" Star said.
"Are you coming?" I asked as I started to walk away.
"Wha… oh yeah," Star said as she caught up to me.
"Do you have the ability where you can have one of your body parts showing without changing completely?" I asked wondering if healing Star would be easy or not.
"What do you mean Sky?" Star asked.
"Like this…" I said showing my wings.
"Oh… well not really… but I can do this if you are talking about an easier way to heal me." Star said as he stopped walking.
I hid my wings and looked back to see why he stopped, only to see a snow leopard. "Star…" I said looking around. The snow leopard walked up to me and sat down, just staring at me with red eyes. Wait, red eyes? "Star, is that you?" I asked looking at the large cat. It nodded its head yes.
"Could you turn back please?" I asked bewilderedly.
Instead of a snow leopard, Star stared back smiling. He laughed at the expression that I knew I had and continued to walk towards the house. I shook my head to clear my thoughts, and then I caught up with Star.
"So can you talk as an animal or only when you are in human form?" I asked curiously.
"Um… I never really tried it before…" Star replied.
Star stood behind me while I opened the door. I walked in, Star followed after.
"Why did you let him in Sky, he could eat all of us!" Jason exclaimed.
I rolled my eyes when I found him hiding behind a chair. Noticing something else, I looked around the room only to notice that Ty wasn't there. Maybe he was waiting for the right moment to scare Jason. I chuckled to myself, knowing Ty. He was waiting to scare Jason.
"First off, I'm not a guy. Second I'm not going to eat you." Star said bringing me out of my thoughts. She walked over and sat down on the couch.
"Then why were you chasing me?" Jason asked.
"I was chasing you because you tried to cut my tail off while I was sleeping." Star replied looking at Jason.
"No I was not, I was just walking and then you started to chase me." Jason shot back.
"Oh, go piss an enderman off." Star casually replied. Everyone chuckled except Jason.
"Jason, she told me that she was just sleeping under some shade, until she felt pain in her tail. She looked and saw you trying to cut her tail off. In fact, I see blood on your sword right now." I said looking at his blade.
"How do you know it's even her blood? I was just killing some chickens before she chased me.
"I know it's her blood because I can smell it from here." I said looking at Jason.
"So can I," Ty says right behind Jason causing everyone to laugh. Jason spun around, but stopped as he saw that Ty had wings. He leaped up and ran towards me. Man is he in for a surprise when I show my wings. I thought chuckling to myself.
Jason hides behind me. "T-Ty, how do you have wings?" Jason asks.
"To be honest, I have no idea." Ty says sitting down on the bed that I healed him on.
"Jason, I'm no safer than her or Ty. By the way, before I forget, her name is Starcatcher or Star for short." I say.
"Why are you not safer?" Jason asks backing away slightly.
"This is why." I say showing my wings. All I heard was a thud. I looked back only to see Jason on the floor out-cold.
So now you know what or rather who was chasing Jason.
So Star is a shape shifting dragon, what kind of stuff will she get herself into? Leave a like and a review telling me what you think so far.
