Ch. 5 A New Discovery
Alex awoke to the sun shining in her face; she stretched her arms out to wake them up. Right when she let them down her arms and her muscles began to relax she heard a growling noise. She sat straight up and looked around and when she heard it again, she looked at the end of her bed to see that it was Komodo in the bed with her! He was probably making those growling noises because he was having a dream. She got closer to him and he began to wake up, she wondered how he got into her room last night.
Then she remembered that she didn't close the door well, so that must have given him the opportunity to sneak in. When he woke up Alex began rubbing the back of his head and he became relaxed again. The silence in the room was gone when she heard someone running towards her. It was Zak yelling her name.
"ALEX HEY, have you seen Komo...?" Zak said as he busted through the door
Zak began to studier when he saw Komodo lying in bed with Alex.
"What the... how the... What's he doing in here?" Zak shouted
"Zak its ok, Komodo just snuck in here, because I didn't close my door well. But I didn't mind at all really. He didn't bother me one bit." Alex said
"Ok, it's just that I'm use to having him around that I... Started to freak out that he was gone. Any ways we got to get dressed, one of the scientists found some information about the creature."
When Zak left, Alex got up and thought to her-self for a minute. "I wonder what kind of discovery will be made today." She said to herself in a disappointed voice. Alex went over to the closet and pulled out the uniform that Drew gave her. She brushed out her hair and got her-self ready for the day.
She reached the front of the air ship where she saw Zak clutching his fist in anger. She saw that his attention was on the video screen. There she saw a man that looked pale, had on green goggles, and a strange device around his neck. There was a boy next to him that looked the same, but had a full head of hair. She then turned her attention to their conversation.
"So what kind of information you got for us Epsillon?" Drew said
"My people and I have done a little underground research and found that this creature is naturally a dragon. However, like the Kur stone says, its power can be used to bring out Kur's true potential. We also discovered that, like Kur, when the creature dies its sprit goes on a search for a new host." Epsillon said.
When Alex heard that, her blood ran cold and felt like she was about to pass out from the tension building up inside her. But before she could, she stopped her-self when Doc interrupted.
"Listen Epsoillon, what to do say we continue this conversation at our home?" Doc asked
"Very well, I suppose." Espsoillon responded
When the conversation ended the video screen turned off, Alex saw Zak leaning over a rail, acting like he was really mad, and he was. She walked over to him and tried to talk to him.
"Hey Zak, that boy that was on the screen, do you not like him or something?" Alex asked
"Your right I don't like him." Zak said in an angry tone
"Why? He seems like a nice enough kid."
"Hey Alex when we get to my house will you do me a favor?" Zak asked
"Sure, what is it?"
"When Francis comes here, promise you'll keep your distance from him."
"Francis?"
"Yes, that's his name. Will you keep this promise?"
"Yes I promise I will keep my distance."
"Thank you, and one more thing, when he's around always keep your guard up. You never know what he'll do next."
