The wind is pounding against my face. "A-are we a-almost th-th-there?" I ask with chattering teeth. "Yes," he answers plainly.
"L-listen, I'm sorry for what I s-said earlier. Can you let me g-go so I can fly in my dragon f-form? I'm getting tired of not d-doing anything, and i'm cold" I ask him. Instead of saying anything, he drops me.
"EEEEK!!!!!!!" I screech before morphing into my dragon form. In my dragon form, my scales are a bright yellow, my eyes are red, and my talons are pure white. My membrain, the skin under the wings that catch the wind so you can fly, are pink, and my horns are long and sharp. I am smaller then any other dragon.
I flap my wings as fast as I can trying to catch up with him. "Slow down, please! I'm not as fast as you," I ask him loudly. "Of course you're not!" He yells back. "I'm one of the fastest-flying dragons in the world," he says proudly. "Bragger," I say under my breath.
But he slows down anyways so I can catch up with him.
For hours we fly, I don't know why I'm not flying away right now. I guess it's because it would seem rude and it doesn't feel right to leave him. Get yourself together!! He is your enemy and you should be high-tailing it out of here!!!  I think to myself. Why are you NOT escaping? Why aren't you attacking him? Why aren't you doing ANYTHING?! I argue with myself for at least an hour.
"Almost there," he says breaking me out of my thoughts. "What? Oh, okay. I don't see anything. Where is... wherever we're going?" I ask. "It's a little up ahead. Not to far now," he replies."But we have to swim a river to get to it." Swim a river?!  I ask myself. "But we're dragons! Why can't we just-" I start but he finishes for me. "-Fly over it? No. We have to go inside a mountain cave. It's a bit small, so we have to swim," he answers.
"Swimming with a stranger, great." I exclaim and role my eyes, smiling. "Pretty much." He says smiling back. "I don't even know your name!" I say sounding surprised. "Jackson, Jackson the dragon. And what about your name?" He replies and I answer. "Ellya, Ellya the princess dragon,"
I guess me and him are friends now. I think to myself. "There it is. The cave right in the middle of the mountain." He exclaims pointing.
Moments later, me and him land on the rock hard ground, which of course has rocks. "It's very... roomy isn't it?" I ask looking around the cave. I look at him and he says, "Oh, this is just the entrance. We have to swim a river, remember?" I groan and he laughs. "Shut up," I say rolling my red dragon eyes. "If we run, we'll be at the river in about 5 minutes," he explains. "Whatever," I say, my back legs and my wings getting ready to run. Did I mention I'm a dragon with only back legs and front wings that touch the ground. It's weird, I know.
"Will you lighten up!? It ain't that far anymore," Jackson says a hint of annoyance in his voice. He frowns at me and I frown at him. "What?" I ask, breaking the long silence that was between us. "You're stubborn, you know that, right?" He replies. "Wow, who would've thunk it!" I say sarcastically. "Can we go now please?" I say starting to walk with smoke coming out of my nostrils.
Next thing I know, I'm standing next to a roaring river with waves crashing against the sharp rocks that are on the bottom of the lake, which are sticking up out of the water. Oh no. I can't swim. Never done, never will. I think to myself, terrified. It's like Jackson can read my mind when he says, " Stop being terrified. The waters moving like that because the mermaids-" "MERMAIDS!!!!!!!" I scream, but he talks through me. "-don't like other creatures crossing unless you sing them a lullaby," he finishes with a smirk. Then I realized why he gave me the smirk. "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!! I will NOT, I repeat, NOT sing to them! No way," I say shaking my head.
Moments later, we're past the river, me being very wet with water, while Mr. Perfect isn't wet at all. I had sung the mermaids twinkle twinkle little star, and Jackson actually cried at my voice. He didn't get wet because he flew, yes flew, over it even though he said we couldn't!!! What a liar!! He tricked me!! So now I'm ignoring him.
