The Dragon Queen

4.

After walking for an hour and a half through the woods I finally reach the cottage by the lake my family use as an emergency house.

As I walk into the cottage doors I place the bag onto the dining table and look inside the bag "wow!" I instantly drop it in disbelief and shake my head "a dragons egg?!"

I close the bag up halfway leaving just enough space for air to get into it.

I take a deep breath and shake my head slowly backing away "I can't believe my dad has one? How does he have one?!" I look towards the stairs and shake my head "I will deal with it later." I look towards my wet clothes and nod "I need a bath and clean clothes first."

I spend the next few hours cleaning myself up and giving the cottage a brush down from the dust and spiderwebs that have been collecting over the years it's been untouched.

I walk back into the kitchen and look towards the backpack on the dining table when I see it fully open and on it's side empty.

I laugh nervously and look onto the floor "mum? Dad?" I slowly walk towards the table. I look around but no one is here. I look out the window and see a large eye look through it and straight towards me. I gasp in horror as I look straight out the window and into the dragons eyes.

I hear a noise coming from under the table making me jump. I slowly lean down and pull up the cover. I look in disbelief as a tiny dragon is sitting under the table inside the cracked egg. I laugh nervously and shake my head "I'm so dead!"

I take a deep breath and look out the window as the dragon lets out a roar that sounded so sad. I raise my eyebrow and look back under the table too the baby dragon.

I shake my head and take a deep breath "ok, I got this." I slowly put my hands under the table and pick up the dragon and the hatched egg.

I slowly stand up with the dragon and egg in my hand before heading towards the front door. I take a deep breath as I open it and place the egg and dragon down on the floor.

I stand still for a few seconds as the enormous dragon slowly walks towards me and sniffs the egg and dragon on the floor. It gives out a little roar as it bows it's head and licks the baby dragon. I look inside the cabin and start to slowly walk back inside but before I can even get my two feet inside I feel something grab onto my and before I knew it, I was flying 30 feet in the air.
