Chapter 7: Panic in the Library"What do we do? What do we do? What do we do?" yelled Ozzie as he ran in endless circles.
"First we relax," barked Dreamer, catching Ozzie with one paw.
"Oof! Thank you. Now what?"
"Now we contact Zach," replied the emerald-eyed black wolf.
"Where are the dragonflies? OH GUYS! COME OUT COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE!" yelled Ozzie at the top of his lungs. "HELLO DRAGON-" Lyra clamped a paw over the ferret's mouth.
"Let me handle this. Goldie, Barney, Fiona, Blaze, Freddie, we need your help."
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Five miniature dragon burst into the room in a shower of little sparks.
"Alright, at attention. We need to talk to Zach. Can you find him?"
Goldie nodded her little head vigorously and squeaked some orders at the others. Then the dragonflies linked their claws together and started spinning rapidly. In a moment, Zach's face appeared in the circle.
"Lyra? Is that you?" the blonde-haired boy asked. Looking past her, he realized something was wrong. "Where are the others?"
"We don't know," replied Dreamer.
"I found this emblem, then it turned into a portal and the girls were sucked in!" cried Ozzie, holding up the emblem for Zach to see.
"Hmm. I don't know anything about that. I'll see what I can find out. I hope the girls are alright." The sound of a loud roar came out of no where. "Sorry! Got to run! Drake ate something that isn't agreeing with his stomach and now that dragon has a tummy ache!" The window closed after that.
"Oookay. Well, thanks dragonflies," said a worried Ozzie. The five dragons nodded their heads and disappeared with another barricade of popping sounds.
"That only made me more worried. If he doesn't know anything about that symbol, then who does?" Dreamer asked.
As if on cue, the library door opened and an old woman walked in. It was Adriane's grandmother. She looked at the three animals and then at the emblem that was still in Ozzie's paw. She walked over and gently took it from him.
Her mouth formed the words "Cira and Usagi" as she looked at it closely. She placed it back on the desk and scratched Ozzie under the chin and patted Dreamer on the head. She nodded at Lyra and left the room with a knowing smile.
"That was strange," Ozzie said quietly as soon as he was sure that Grandmother Charday was out of earshot.
"Oddly enough, I think she knows something," Lyra said thoughtfully.
"She didn't seem worried. I think that Adriane, Kara, and Emily aren't in danger. At least, I hope," whimpered Dreamer.
He had no idea of just how much danger they girls were in right now.
Oooh, scary ending. I think that Grandmother Charday does know what's going on. I should know; I wrote the chapter…Anyhow, I really want to know what you think of it so far. Next chapter: Kaiyou is introduced, and something terrible happens. (As if you already didn't have enough of a cliff hanger to deal with!) Be patient with me!
