Chapter 2

"Run! You can't stay here they will find you. Don't you hear me run!"

Ever took off running behind a tall strange boy with Black hair and crystal blue eyes.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

But he didn't seem to hear her. The wind blew and the screech of a dragon came in behind her. The dragon swooped down and grabbed Ever cutting her neck. She struggled, but it was no use the dragon had her in between its claws.

"Put me down!" she screamed. The dragon released Ever and she started to fall the ground.

…..

"Wake up." shouted a voice.

Ever shot her eyes open and looked around. She was in her room and the sunlight was beaming into her window. She looked for the voice but she was alone in her room. Ever pulled herself out of her bed, heart pounding from a dream that felt so really. She walked over to her mirror and stared at her reflection. Her neck pained where the dragon cut her in the dream. She moved her hair aside and right where the dragon cut her was a mark. Ever gasped and ran out of her room.

"Mom! Dad! Grandpa!? Anyone here." No one answered, she looked at the table and saw a note that read…..

Headed into town with your Mother and Grandfather to get supplies and sell a few crops before heading to Cardend tomorrow. Pack what you will need but pack light we will only be gone for three days and need to get back before the snow falls.

Love,

Dad

Pushing aside the dream Ever went up to pack as little as she could for the trip. The more her family pack the longer it would take for them to get to and from Cardend. Evers family returned later that evening and they all put their stuff together for the morning.

"We are leaving a darn." Emma said.

"Wait what. That's like four in the morning!" Ever shouted. Great now she would have to get up even earlier to do her chores and get ready to leave.

Emma rolled her eyes and said "Yes, at four in the morning."

The rest of the day went on as normal and Ever headed up to her room, locked the door and sat on her bed. She hadn't had a chance to tell her family about the mark on her neck. Maybe that was a good thing. Then she wouldn't have to explain how a dream left a mark on her neck. Ever laid down and fell asleep.
