We suddenly shot up and ran into the town, where we saw a bunch of humans running around. Dragons chased after them, and some other humans kept dodging their swipes.

Scryion turned to us. "Do whatever you need to do to capture them, but do not let them escape," he said firmly.

We nodded and joined the chaos.

The humans in the cage were reaching out to another human, who was trying to unlock the cage

"OH HECK NO," Flihkfhur yelled when he saw what was happening. He shot toward the human and lifted it up by the collar.

The human and the ones in the cage screamed as Flihkfhur tossed the human in the air, and said, "Dragons! Catch the human!"

They fell all over each other trying to be the first one to eat it. The human landed right in front of Phyline, who snapped it up.

I glared at the humans in the cage. "You are not escaping your prison." I took it, flew up, and placed it on a building roof. Then I went back down.

There were still humans all over the place, and it was getting annoying to grab them. (Seriously, they were like mice: hiding in small holes and being afraid to come out.)

Eventually, Ghitpethal came up with a plan. When she announced it, dragons sat in front of her and gave us some space to be with them.

"What's the one thing humans like most?"

"FOOD," the dragons cried.

"Mmm, close. Think... think rich. Wealthy. No matter the situation, what are they ALWAYS looking for?"

The dragons glanced at each other, trying to figure out the answer. Then Phyline stood up and said, "Money."

"Exactly," Ghitpethal said. "So what we need to do is lure them."

One dragon raised her wing. "Um... how, exactly, do we do that?"

"Simple." Flihkfhur stood up. "We put the money in front of the place they're hiding in, then we wait for them to come out."

Scryion nodded. "I like that idea. We capture them without it being messy."

"Is everyone in agreement with this?"

All the dragons nodded; some volunteered to get the money.

Scryion had a hungry glint in his eyes and a wide grin on his face. "Let's go catch ourselves some humans."

The Misfits were beginning to get really annoying.

As soon as I went to the cage, they immediately began to beg Carlos to see Andrew.

He rolled his eyes. "Oh, please. It doesn't matter if you don't see him."

Grabbing the cage, I hauled it outside with Carlos following me.

"Are you sure you don't need any help?" he asked for the second time.

I shot him an exasperated look. "Carlos, you know perfectly well I can carry this."

"I just don't want to feel useless."

"You're responsible for showing them Andrew, so you have a role."

He didn't say anything else. I took flight with the cage and went down into the forest.

I heard Carlos land behind me.

When the Misfits saw the forest, they began to get excited.

"Don't be excited for long," I said. "You wanted to see someone, didn't you?"
