The Intruders
"Which intruders?" Rose asks.
"Some humans were caught trying to call for the magical elevator." The dragon answers. "It's suspected they followed the American Dragon."
"You knew about that, Jake?" A surprised Rose asks.
"Nope. But I have a guess about who they are."
LINE BREAK – The Council Room
"Who are you and how did you find us?" Councillor Andam angrily asks.
"We were just following a boy named Jake Long hoping it'd lead us to our missing daughter." The man explains.
"And it did." Rose replies as she and Jake enter the Council Room.
"Rose!" Her sister and her parents exclaim when they see her. They all run for a group hug.
"I hate to interrupt, but we still need to interrogate these humans." Councillor Kulde sternly says.
"Okay." Rose nods.
"Rose?" Her mother asks, worried.
"It's okay, Mom." Rose says.
"Sir, did Jake Long tell you anything about the existence of dragons?" Councillor Andam asks.
"No." Rose's Dad answers.
"How did you know that following him would lead you to your daughter?" Councillor Kulde asks.
"I was sure he knew more than he was letting on." Rose's Dad explains.
"What do you people know about the cult that had taken Rose away from you back when she was a baby?" Councillor Andam asks.
"We know they believe it's their mission to destroy magical creatures and that everyone who has a dragon-shaped birthmark must join them." Rose's Mom replies and then looks at Rose. "These dragons didn't hurt you, did they?"
"No, Mom." Rose replies. "There was a time I used to hate them but it all changed when I found out the boy I love is a dragon."
"Rose, I believe you and your family need some private time." Councillor Andam says.
