The People

Part 3: The Search

Daniele slowly wakes up to find that she is underwater. She begins to quickly look around, but calms down quickly when she realizes she isn't drowning.
"I.....I....I am breathing underwater! How is this possible?!" She looks up and sees the surface of the water. She began to swim to the surface. A long big tentacle arm reaches out from the depths of the ocean and grabs her leg. She looks down to see a Kraken revealing it's ugly detailed features as it came closer to her. She jerks her leg away trying to break free but the grasp of the octopus became stronger. As more tentacles start moving towards her she swims down and bites the arm. The octopus lets go and Daniele starts to swim towards the surface.
"What is going on?!" She said as she swam. The octopus reaches towards her again grabs her neck and start the pull her down. She struggles to break free, but to no use. The octopus grabs one of her arms and pulls down hard, almost snapping it.
"AAAHH!!!" she screamed in pain. She quickly grabbed the arm with her free hand and start to burn it. The octopus lets go. She looks at her hands and continues to swim.
"Did I just.......What.....How.....UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!" Daniele screams. She gets to the surface and swims towards the cliff. She begins to climb to rocky side. She makes it to the top, she lays down on the grass. She sit up and looks around. Everywhere is fire. She looks around and sees the meteor, she walks towards the meteor. The meteor begins to shake, she jumps and steps back. An animal came out of it. It was a dragon that has orange with black stripes, tiger dragon. She slowly walks towards the animal with her hand out. The animal looks at her with curiosity.
"It's ok....I won't hurt you." She said calmly.
"How do I know that?" Daniele stopped and looked at the animal.
"Did....Did you just speak?!"
"Yes...I didn't know you can understand me. I am actually not talking in your language. You can understand me."
"How?!"
"The meteorite that crashed gave out radiation that seeped into your body and gave you powers."
"What kind of powers?"
"All......this is a special meteorite. I don't know how but, it gave off a radiation so powerful, that it didn't kill you. But gave you ALL the powers."
"How do you know?!"
"I lived in this thing. I have all the powers known to man, and even more than that!"
"So you are a dragon? Right?"
"Yes I am. I am a tiger dragon. Maybe the reason you can talk to me, is because you have tiger and dragon blood in your system." The dragon said walking to Daniele.
"Wait......What?!"
"You look familiar. You seem like that I have known you before, but I have never seen you before. This tells me that you have both tiger and dragon blood in your system. You will have more powers than the people who were with you at the time."
"Wait.....Why?!"
"The more ancient blood you have in you system, the more stronger your powers are. The other girl that was here with you, have lion blood in her system. You have a little bit of it in you too."
"Does the boy that flew with us have any ancient blood in him?"
"Not as far as I know. I didn't sense any. He might, but I don't know. But you, you have an unknown source that I can't decipher."
"Where are they?"
"I saw the girl go into the cornfield, and the boy go off by the pond somewhere."
"Can you help me find them, and come with us and help us out?"
"Yes! And can you do me a small favor?"
"What is it?"
"Can you be my friend? I never had a friend before."
"Sure! I would love to." They began to walk off. Summer sat up. She looks around to see popcorn surrounding her.
"Heeeyyy!!! Popcorn!!! All I need right now are pickles." 7 pickles fall from the sky into her lap.
"What the hell!!? Now I need some chocolate milk." Chocolate milk randomly spawned in front of her.
"This must be my lucky day!" She begins to reach for the milk, and the milk grew wings and started to fly away.
"Hey!!! Get back here!" She get up and runs after the milk. She come back and grabs a pickle. A lion jumps out in front of her, and she falls to the ground. The lion walked towards her, growling. She stood up and started to back up. She looks at the pickle, and throws it at the lion. It hit the lion in the face. The lion fell down, and Summer ran passed it.
"Come back here you stupid milk!" Summer said screaming and running after the milk. Summer runs into Daniele, and they both fall to the ground.
"Summer!! What the hell were you doing?!"
"I was chasing that milk!" She looked at Daniele, and looked around." Well this is awkward!"
"Get off of me!" Daniele pushed Summer out of the way and got up. She dusted off the dirt from her pants.
"I want..........What is that animal?" She pointed at the dragon by Daniele.
"This is my new friend! She is a tiger dragon!"
"Almost like you!! You are a Tigey and you love dragons!"
"Tigey?! Why is your name Tigey?!" The dragon looked at Daniele.
"Well it is tiger, but she liked to say Tigey wigey for some reason."
"What is your name little one?" Summer crouched down in front of the dragon.
"I don't know. And I am not little, I am still young. I still have a couple years to grow."
"Daniele! Lets think of a name!"
"Hhmmm..... I don't know what to call her. Nothing comes to mind."
"How about I just call you Tiger and call the dragon Tigey!?"
"I like Tigey! Can I keep that?!" The dragon asked.
"Yeah! You can keep it!"
"Where's Steven at!?" Summer asked.
"Tigey said that he flew towards the pond. So I would think that we can look there."
"Ok. That sounds good enough with me."Steven wakes up and tries to rub his head but hits his hand.
"Ow! What the!!!!" He looks around to find that his head is stuck in a tree.
"How come I didn't die from this!?" He tries to get his head out, but cracks his neck.
"Nahhh!!! Ok if I got my head through the tree, how am I going to get it out?" He tried to stand up, because of how his back was hurting him. The whole entire tree gets uprooted, and Steven stands there with his head through a tree.
"What the!!!! How!!!!! How in the world did I do that?!" He begins to try to walk around. He slowly walks up the hill, as he is trying he gets top heavy and falls backwards. He rolls down the hill and lands at the edge of the pond. He slowly gets back and tries the climb the hill. He falls sideways and rolls down the hill into the pond. His head is out of the water and tree is floating. A frog jumps log and looks at him. Steven blows at the frog to get it away, but the frog looks at him funny. The frog sticks it tongue out and hops away.
"Well thanks a lot you stupid frog! That really helped!"
"Steven what are you doing in the pond? And why is your head through the tree?!" Summer said walking down the hill.
"I will explain later, but right now can you please get me out of here!"
"Noooo.... I am more concerned on how your head got through that tree."
"Summer! Please get me out of here! I am getting uncomfortable!"
"Why are you getting uncomfortable? It's a pond!"
"It is cold pond! And parts of my body hates the cold!"
"Well....I don't know..."
"PLEASE!!!!!"
"Ok hang on. Daniele! I found him! Hurry! This is too funny to miss!" Summer screamed behind her shoulder.
"Ok hang on!"
"Hurry!"
"Ok! Ok!" Daniele begins to walk towards the hill." I don't know why I need to be in a...........uuum........ummm......."
"See! This is why I wanted you to hurry!"
"So....um...Steven! You....um......Comfy there?" Daniele said with a smile.
" Oh no.....I know that smile......"
"What smile.....this seems like...you are having fun...Did you decide to take a little dip after you got your head stuck in that tree?"
"No I didn't! I was trying to get up that hill and I rolled into the pond."
"WHAT!!! How can you not get up this hill!? This isn't even a hill!!! It is a freaking bump in the ground!!"
"Just get me out of here!"
"Fine.......Hey...um...Tigey....can you please get him out for us?"
"Sure thing!" Tigey flew above Steven and moves him towards the edge of the pond.
"Ok now.....GET ME OUT!!!!!"
"Oh! It seems like someone is getting a little mad! Do think so Tigey?"
"Yes! Seems to mad for my taste! What about you Summer?"
"I agree! What should we do?"
"I guess we leave him, and give him time to calm down." Daniele said. She began to turn around.
"Wait!" Steven loudly said.
Daniele turned around and crossed her arms. "Yes."
"If you get me out here, I will calm down, very fast!" Tigey waddled over by Steven and grabbed his collar. Daniele and Summer walked over and grabbed a different sides of the tree.
"1!!2!!!3!!!PULL!!!" Daniele screamed. They all pulled.
"Steven can you at least try and help in this!"
"Ok." Steven pulled himself up, and fell forward onto the grass. Daniele and Tigey pulled him forward.
"OH GOD!!! That was horrible!" Steven screamed.
"Well it could've been worse!" Summer said. Steven looked up at Summer.
"How could that possibly get any worse!?"
"There could've been a geyser there!"
"In a pond!?" Daniele screamed.
"Oh....wel.." She was interrupted by an explosion. Water shot out from the pond. Daniele backed up, and backed up into a sign. She turned around and saw a sign. She walked in front of it.
"Witness the very first underwater geyser! Well........um......Summer!!!! I guess you were right!! Good thing we got you out in time Steven!!" Daniele walked closer to the pond. Steven looked at Summer as he got up. Summer smiled and walked behind Daniele.
"Before you get to me you gotta go through Daniele!" Ashley held Daniele's shoulders and slowly backed up!"
" And before you get through me you gotta get through Tigey!" Daniele picked Tigey up and held her in front of her face.
"Ok what is that thing. It is weird!"
"Hey!!!" Daniele screamed. She hugs Tigey." Tigey is a Tiger Dragon! And I can get her to rip your face off! Say something about her one more time!" Tigey smiled, and Steven backed up with his hands in the air. Tigey jumps from Daniele's arms and starts walked towards Steven, growling.
"Are you going to stop it!" Steven looked at Daniele
"It is a her and no!" Daniele said with a smile.
"Why?!"
"Until you recognize her as what she is I might, but right now, no!"
"Please call it away!"
"Her! And no!" Steven was walked towards the edge of the pond.
"Please call HER away!"
"Tigey! Come here!" Tigey turning around and jumped into Daniele's arms.
"That is all I needed to say!"
"You recognized her for what she is, a person, not an object!" They walked up the hill towards the meteor.
