LiEat: The Lie Eating Dragon and the Vermillion Vampire

Chapter Six

A/N: Hey people! PIcture of Efi being glomped is in the Media. Who's your favorite character so far? I like Teo. Or Brett. He's cool too.

----------

Efi yawned at Leo, "I'm sleepy, Papa!" Leo hesitated, turning to look first at her, then at the sky. He sighed, "It's getting late, we should go."

They went back to the house that Keith had told them was theirs, and fell asleep almost instantly.

----------

"Papa!" Efi complained, "Why do we have to wake up so early?"

Leo ignored her, instead heading towards the house in which they had met the first girl.

He barged into the house without bothering to knock, revealing a mildly sleepy girl who seemed to be having breakfast.

"Oh. Hello," the girl said, "Did you get a room?"

"Yes." Leo replied, "Now let's get to business."

The girl grinned, "Right, right!" then, under her breath, "I've been looking forwards to this."

One long conversation later...

"Hmm... So the bluebird does exist..."

Leo nodded, "Yeah. Couldn't capture it, but good enough, right?"

The girl nodded, "Yeah. And you brought a feather! That, and the info is good enough for me. Here's your reward."

She handed him a tea cookie. Leo scowled, about to yell at her, but then she spoke again.

"...So I heard you came across a dragon egg. Is this true?"

Leo hesitated, unsure of how to explain, "Yeah... About that..."

In the end, he just decided on nodding his head towards Efi and saying, "...Her."

The girl blinked, confused, "Huh?'

Efi blinked as well, equally confused, "Hm?"

Leo sighed, exasperated, "She hatched." he said, "From the egg." he clarified. "...I still don't get it either," He sighed again.

There was a long silence, only broken when the girl spoke again, "...You serious?"

Leo glared at her and opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Efi, "Really! For real!"

Leo frowned, "Ahem," he said, causing the other two to look towards him, surprised, Efi even let out a little, "Eek!"

The girl scowled at him, "Watch it mister! Gotta be nice to girls, 'kay?"

Before either Efi or Leo could resppond, she went over and glomped Efi. Hard. "LIke this!"

Leo paused awkwardly, unsure of how to react, while Efi let out a slightly confused, "Yaaaaagh!"

The girl soon backed off, becoming serious once again, "So what kind of dragon is she? Thunder? Amoeba?"

Leo hesitated, "...She eats lies." Then, quickly, before either of them could interrupt, he continued, "That's her diet. And she can breathe fire, kinda." he sighed, "...It'd be faster to show you."

The girl was silent for a while, gazing at Efi thoughtfully, before speaking, "Hey, runtling."

Efi jerked back, offended, "That's Efi to you!"

The girl smiled, unperturbed, "Well, you see Efi, me and him are brother and sister!"

Efi gaped, shocked, "No way!"

The girl grinned at her, "Yep, I lied."

Just as she spoke this, there was a bright flash in the room.
