Chapter 2: A home Surprise
(River)
We walked for a while to my home. It was a ways away from where we had landed but the walk was going to be good for the other to practice. They were going to need to get used to walking on two legs.
It was going to be rather odd for them to get used to the way things worked in my world. I mean I lived here my whole life. And coming back after being a dragon it kind of felt strange to me as well.
I sighed and looked at them. I just couldn't help but smile. I was finally getting to show my friends my world. I sighed and spoke. "You guys want to rest a bit." I said. "YES!" They all said at once.
I had to laugh. So I took them to the park and let them sit down for a while. I looked around for a bit before I noticed that people were starting to stare our way. Which kind of seemed a little odd to me.
It wasn't until two kids went of to Spyro and touched his leg that I decided to speak up. "Whats wrong with you kids. Haven't you seen an adult sitting on the grass before." I said. They looked at me.
I noticed on gulp a bit. "Sorry sir. It is just you guys look like the game characters out of the new Spyro game." They said. I immediately looked back in worry. I never told them that there life was a game. Or did I.
Either way I was worried. I went up to them and sighed. "Guys lets get going." I said. They nodded and got up. I knew I was going to have to explain the whole game thing to them when they found out.
Then after a while after it had turned dark we made it to a small town a few miles from the park. I went up to my moms house but paused. Something was telling me not to knock on the door.
I looked back and they all nodded. I knocked on the door and waited. After a while my mom answered the door. "Oh River I knew you said you were coming. But I didn't expect to see you arrive today." Mom said.
I nodded. "Can we come in mom." I said. She nodded. I looked as the others came in. "When you called I was so happy. I thought you disappeared like you did when you were a teen" Mom said.
"Well I sorta did mom." I said. She then looked at me serious. "Mom remember how u would ask me were I was and I would start crying when you asked." I said. She nodded her head.
"Well I went to the same place." I said. She looked at my friends then at me. "And where is this place." She said. I could see her about to cry. I knew why to. because were I disappeared to my brother died at.
I sighed and looked at Spyro. He nodded. "Mom this may sound crazy but I went to a world with Dragons in it." I said. She looked at me for a minute. "River I don't have patience for lies and stories any more." She said.
I got up and motioned every one to the back yard. It looked big enough so I went back there. "What ever happens don't let her run." I said. She looked at me with that this better be good look.
I grabbed my crystal necklace and took it off. And as I expected my form went from Human to Dragon in an instant. In mere seconds I was towering over mother. "I wasn't lying mom." I said
The look on her face at first was full of fear and surprise. I went back to human and she looked at me. "Mom I would like you to meet Spyro, Cynder, And Flame. Dragons from the dragon realms." I said.
She looked at me and sighed. "I knew it would have to be something as crazy as that." She said. I looked at her as she began to cry. I then hugged her. "It's ok mom. I am still me." I said.
Mom and I stopped hugging and she sighed. "That explains a lot. I guess thats were your Friends Kyle and Emily were that whole time to." Mom said. This caught me.
"Um Mom. I don't know how to say this but my friends Emily and Kyle are dead." I said. "No there not. Infact they were here yesterday the check up on me and ask if I had seen you." Mom said.
I paused for a moment and looked at her. "Mom are you sure you saw them." I said. "Well of course I am sure River. I think I would recognize your friends." Mom said. Then the door bell rang.
That must be them now. They said they would be here today." Mom said. She walked to the door and I was in the room behind her with my friends. "Who's at 'the door." Cynder asked.
"I don't know but be ready for any thing." I said. Then mom came on with two people behind her. "See I told you they aren't dead." Mom said. I just stared in shock. Because standing right there in front of me were Kyle and Emily.
"This is not possible." I said. Spyro and Cynder saw my face and asked. "Whats wrong River?" I gulped. "Thats Kyle and Emily." I said. They all looked at them and went wide eyed.
