Chapter 8, Secrets

And his breath was fire. Huge dragon wings appeared behind him. He backed up from me though. "Why are you doing this?!" I demanded to know. "It's because of my brother!" Jonathan yelled, "He made that machine you use for your drawings. He drew a man with dragon abilities and tried to make him real, but the abilities were given to me instead. He also created that girl, that dragon girl. He found your drawing of the boy made it real and sent the machine to him. Now, he won't help me turn myself back so I can be normal again!" We all stood there, stunned. Nobody knew what to say.

With Jonathan this mad, the police decided to try and capture him. They started to surround him. He looked at them. "Leave me alone," he growled. They didn't listen. He shot fire at them. It made a fire behind them. Soon it would be big, so the firemen tried to get everyone out. I ran out with Steve and the man with the girl. She was actually sleeping. Dan, Jason, Eleanor, and Mrs. Annabeth ran to me. "Are you okay?" they asked. "Yeah," I replied and I told them what was going on.

Suddenly, we saw Jonathan fly out of the house through the roof. "You will pay!" he screamed at everyone. Everyone near us looked up at him. A few people screamed and ran away, some didn't care, and others kept staring. Dan grabbed my arm and led me into the car. He passed me my sketchbook. "Draw a car with wings," he said. I started to draw. Everyone else climbed in. "We don't have the machine though," Jason said when Dan told them what I was doing. "I have a mini one," Dan said. He held it up. As soon as I was done, he used it and we got into the flying car. We had to catch Jonathan. Dan got Pikachu and Tigrerra (they did take up a lot of room, but thankful the car was big!) out and they sat at the back windshield and watched to make sure we weren't being followed. And we chased him.

This wasn't a good plan. We were going to chase him and catch him in a net. That's all the details we had. Nothing else. We definitely needed more details. Then, Jonathan disappeared with no trace. We looked around. Nothing. He just disappeared. Then, I thought I saw him in the clouds, looking at me. And he was gone. He didn't look mad in the clouds though. It looked like he was warning us about something bigger...and worse. Pikachu and Tigrerra fell asleep as the night took over. We went back to the lab. I climbed into bed and thought about everything that happened today. The girl...she might be a piece to the bigger puzzle.

Suddenly, screaming filled the air. I ran to the window. A house was on fire. Someone was chasing the girl from the fire. She was screaming too.
