I watched the Headmasters door open then shut and I watched a new girl run out. But there was something familiar about her. Now I remember I have seen her before. Sometimes in the Headmasters office or going to get something for the headmaster. I watched as she ran past me like she was in a hurry I watched her run then slow to a walk and walked into the pet store. I considered following her but the thought it rude but in the end I followed her into the pet shop. She was talking to the lady who owned the shop and when Gisele MoonBow the owner of the pet shop heard the bell on the door ring she looked up. "Oh hello Luke." Gisele MoonBow said to me "Hi" I replied quickly with my eyes still on the girl. "Luke this is Darby." She said seconds witch felt like hours later, once she saw Darby and I staring intently at each other then she looked away. Darby met my eyes again and looked away as if embarrassed witch made me vary confused. I did a little smile still thinking of reasons why she looked away "What are you smiling about." That was the first time I had heard her speck her voice was like a river it was flowing together not in different directions. I looked at her and said, "Well what isn't there to smile about." "For me a lot of things." She said quietly along with looking upset and distressed I looked at her quizzically wanting to know more she only looked away and sighed. I walked over to her and slipped a friend chip into her hand. She looked at it then at me there was some little glimmer of hope in her eyes. I smiled and nodded. And for the first time she smiled back it was a small smile but it was a smile. "Ok Darby you came in because you wanted to buy a pet or just to talk?" Gisele MoonBow said, "Oh ya I came in to buy a pet." Darby replied tarring her eyes away from mine once again she followed Gisele MoonBow, with me following Darby. We went through a door in the back behind the counter. There was a huge room with pet's lots and lots of pets but I noticed Darby's eyes were on a dragon in the back that was white body and red wings. Darby walked slowly to the cage trying not to frighten the dragon. She reached out to touch the dragon but the dragon shied away from her as if the dragon thought Darby might hurt her. As if the dragon knew Darby wasn't going harm her, she slowly moved forward until…
I walked straight but slowly up to the dragon and I had my hand held out. The dragon looked scared to death of me. I knew how she felt I held my hand steady as she sniffed my hand. The she moved closer and closer until she touched my hand. Once my hand and her head touched there was a sound that could have been an explosions and every thing was pitch-black on wizard city and maybe every other world but I had no clue I had a feeling the Headmaster knew what had happened I could hear people start panicking along with screaming. Then the light returned as fast as it had disappeared and I looked around confused. The pet lady was smiling and Luke was confused too I looked at him and we looked at each other hoping each other had known what had happened "What are you going to name her?" Gisele MoonBow asked still confused I looked at her and out of nowhere I named the dragon "Lady Casey" I said without being able to stop the words "Well what a nice name for such a bountiful dragon. Here is her tag that will be 559 gold please Darby." Gisele MoonBow said I handed her the gold plus I still had allot of gold left from the headmaster. I ran through the door we had come in and ran out the shop door. Pushing past the still confused students. I was running at top speed to go tell the headmaster what had happened. Lady Casey flew next to me as I ran I hadn't noticed she had followed me but then I remembered the most pets were loyal to there owners unless that owner was a bad one. I slowed to a walk when I passed through the tunnel to the commons. That's when I noticed the 2 worst people on all the planets. The 2 Bullies who pick on low levels, it was quit sad really. They were walking around the commons looking for low level wizards to pick on to pick on, and then they saw me. Both of them looked at me the walked towered were I was. I ignored them and kept on walking towards the Headmasters house. The two bullies stepped in front of me so I had no choice but to stop "Get out of my way now!" I growled at them I my fiercest tone "Oh someone's got a little temper." 1 of the 2 of them said, "I wouldn't have said that if I were you." I growled again at them again. By this time a whole lot of students had gathered around us happy that someone was finally standing up to these jerks from hell even the Headmaster was watching along with the students. I stood there my hair covering my face "Get away from me." I growled once again my temper rising higher then it had ever been "No!" they both said at the same time in a rude voice, the one bullies on the right shoved me extremely hard witch cased me to stumble backwards and nearly fall. They frowned as I regained my balance. Thank you me for being balance. With a flick of my hand their outfits changed so that on their shirts it said THING 1 and the other said THING 2. Everyone laughed at what they now call THING 1 and THING 2. I looked away and pushed through the crowed looking down as soon as I was outside of the crowed I toke off running. Toward the only place I could think and be alone. I ran through the tunnel to RavenWood racing up to Bartleby he let down one of his branches. I sat up on the platform on Bartleby high up in the branches thinking about what had happened. Frustrated that I had probably blown my cover. "Are you ok Darby?" I spun around to face the person who had spoken nearly falling over the edge of the platform because I had spun so fast. "Are you following me?" I asked Luke in a stern tone "No it just you left in a hurry and I though you, I don't know maybe had gotten hurt or something." He replied with a worried voice with eyes that made him look almost sad "How did you get up here!" I demanded from him because Bartleby only let me up here. He trusted me. But how did Luke get up here? I wondered Luke looked a little offended at demand "Bartleby let come up." Luke said to answer my question still a little offended "Bartleby! You never let anyone but me come up here!" I exclaimed the out of no were I was hit with a headache that felt like I was being stabbed in the head. Luke and Bartleby both made a break for me but why I have no clue. And about 5 seconds later I find out why, I felt a piercing pain in both my shoulders and a warm trickle of blood down my arms. Now mind you I am screaming in pain from whatever had grabbed my shoulders. I felt my knees buckle from the pain but I didn't fall and hit the ground I felt like I was being lifted. Taking a deep breath I opened my eyes and saw the ground a good 100ft down. I tired to move my arms/shoulders but the pain was so intense I had to cry out. I felt so limp and hopeless, this was it this was my end…
