Chapter 8
"Another!" Rai said shocked.
"What does it look like?" Dojo asked twitching.
The five dragons exchanged looks. Omi opened the scroll and an egg appeared in the circle. Katelin grinned, clutching the Winged Hourglass. The two white wings were attached to the back of the hourglass.
While flying, Dojo explained "It's called Voler Egg. It turns itself into any shen gong wu, but it'll only have that shen gong wu's powers for three minutes."
"So…" Katelin started, still grinning "to get an egg shaped shen gong wu we'll need something that's really good at finding eggs,"
"Who? The Easter Bunny?" Rai snickered.
"I'm pretty sure that the Easter Bunny only hid the eggs." Clay said.
Rai rolled his eyes "Whatever."
"Anyways, what was your idea?" Kimiko asked.
"What is this Easter Bunny?" Omi asked.
"You'll see!" Katelin laughed "Whoa, Cai you'll fall if you keep on leaning over the edge like that!" Katelin said more seriously.
Cai took one last peek down and sat down again.
After a few minutes they landed by a small village. Katelin hopped off and twirled the Winged Hourglass excitedly.
"Ok, what's your master plan to get this shen gong wu?" Rai asked.
"Winged Hourglass!" Katelin shouted.
There was a flash of gold light and one of those dinosaurs that steal eggs appeared in front of them. (A/N: No clue how to describe them so I'm hoping you know what they look like oo;)
The other four stared at Katelin for a minute, until Omi said "That is the Easter Bunny?"
"No it's not the Easter Bunny!" Rai shouted angrily.
"Um, I'm not exactly sure this is a good idea…" Clay mumbled.
"Clay's right," Kimiko said "how would people react if they saw a dinosaur?"
"So get rid of it!" Rai yelled.
"Aww… ok…" Katelin said sadly.
As she raised the hourglass, The dinosaur stared at her and ran in the other direction.
"Wah! Get back here!" Katelin shouted running after it.
The four other dragons watched for a moment until Omi said "Perhaps we should start searching for the shen gong wu?"
The others nodded and they headed in the other direction. William landed next to Cai and said "I say! I could have sworn I saw a Katelin chasing after a dinosaur!"
"You did."
"Well you don't see that very often!" William said cheerfully.
Cai rolled his eyes and looked around for a minute.
He paused for a moment and asked "You didn't see anything on the way here did you?"
"Nope."
"Ok."
--
After about ten minutes of chasing the dinosaur, Katelin slumped against a tree breathing heavily.
"Who knew that those things could run so fast?" Katelin said to herself.
She sighed and walked into a small patch of woods where the dinosaur had gone into.
"Hmm," Katelin mumbled "I could have sworn that that dinosaur came in here…"
Katelin pulled back some branches and found herself in a clearing. Across from her was a boy with gold-orange eyes and black hair. Something about him seemed to make Katelin a little scared.
"Have you seen a dinosaur around her… yay big, extinct, probably looking for eggs?" And without waiting for an answer, she said "Ok, thanks anyways! I'll be going now…"
Katelin started backing away but stopped as she felt something hit the back of her knee. She looked behind her and saw that two tigers and a panther were blocking her way. She looked back up at the boy, who seemed more threatening now than before.
"Umm, can I help you…?" She asked nervously.
"Yes, actually you can." The boy said coldly.
"Katelin!" A voice hissed from above her.
She looked up. In one of the higher branches of a tree was William. He was looking warily from the boy to her to the three wild cats.
"What are you doing with Chase Young?" He continued.
Katelin froze, trying to remember where she had heard that name. She felt a pit in her stomach as she remembered. It had been a couple weeks ago, when she had first come to the temple. The other dragons had decided it would be a good idea to tell her about the other people, besides Jack, who were on the side of evil.
"Chase is probably-"
"More than probably" Rai interrupted Kimiko.
"More than probably," Kimiko repeated glaring at Raimundo "the worst of them."
"Yes, Chase Young is most evil." Omi agreed.
"I'd try to stay away from him if I were you." Clay had told her.
"Yeah!" Rai laughed "We wouldn't want you to get hurt!"
Katelin was brought back to the present by Chase saying "Soon you might notice strange things happening… I just thought that I would come and offer you help with them."
"And why would I accept help from you?" Katelin growled, a lot more confidently than she felt.
"I think you'll find a good reason to stop by." Chase said.
When Chase said this, Katelin could have sworn that she heard a hint of cruel amusement in his voice, as if he knew something that she didn't. 'Which is probably true' she thought.
"Oh, and you might want to go after your dinosaur." He finished.
A second later, the runaway dinosaur passed between the two.
"Hey! Get back here!" Katelin yelled, running after it.
She stopped and turned back. Chase and the three cats had gone. She shuddered and resumed her chase after the egg-stealing dinosaur.
