Black dragons at the Clearwater High

11. Chapter

Dragon P.O.V

„What do we want to do now?"‚ asks Saphira.„Rest. We don't have to have an adventure every second."I answer and lie down on my bed.„Maybe not you. But I do."‚ replies Saphira.„Then do something on your own."„Too bad. Then I'll have to let the police chase me alone."

I'm immediately wide awake again and jump out of bed.„Don't you dare. If anyone lets the police chase them for fun, it's me.", Saphira looks at me triumphantly.„I know exactly what they can lure you with." We both go out and into the city after I pull the hood of my jacket over my head.

A lot of humans don't actually believe in dragons, which is why I don't actually have to, but there are a few humans who believe that dragons exist. And a few of them have probably read my books, in which I sometimes show a picture of myself in my 2. form.

They wouldn't even notice it with Saphira, because in my books, if at all, I only publish pictures of Saphira in which she can be seen when she was 110 years old. And her appearance has changed a lot since then.

„Hello, Dragon.", someone suddenly says behind me. I turn around, startled. Saphira makes a small dagger appear in her hand.„Who are you and how do you know me?", I ask the woman.„I'll tell you right away. But we shouldn't discuss this here. Let's go into that alley over there instead." the woman replies, pointing to an alley behind me.„Very well."

We go into the alley.„So who are you and what do you want here?"I ask the woman again.„My name is Rebecca Youngblood. I am a lion shifter and, just like you and Andrew Milling, who I work with, I want to teach people a lesson."

Saphira lets the dagger disappear in her hand. After all, this woman poses no danger.„If you work with Andrew Milling, you can tell him right away that I will help him but will not take orders from him. He can make suggestions to me, but I will only do what he suggests if I want to."‚ I answer.

„Good. I already have the first suggestion for you. We used to have a spy at Clearwater High called Kimberly Walsh. Canada goose shifter. She was a student there and therefore the perfect spy. But at some point she told her friends. She then left school. She feels guilty because she worked with the enemy. And Andrew Milling's suggestion is that you could help us get Kimberly back on our side.„And why me?"„I've heard you're very good at manipulating others."„That's right." Me and Saphira walk out of the alley.

How do you plan to attract the attention of the police?' asks Saphira. Then she adds: "Do you want to steal something?"

"It's much easier," I answer and make a gun appear in my hand and take on my first form. Now I am a girl with dark blonde hair and green eyes.

In the first form, we black dragons cannot use our magic and are just like normal humans.

"Why did you transform?" asks Saphira. "I think that's much more exciting." I fire the gun twice into the air. I see a policeman running in my direction, saying something into his walkie-talkie, and in the distance I hear a police siren. "This is how it's done properly."

I throw the gun on the ground in front of the policeman and run away from him, laughing. As I flee, more policemen come towards me, whom I skillfully avoid.

At some point I reach my destination. An old high-rise building. "What do you want there? You can't get away from there," I hear one of the policemen say to his colleague.

I run through the stairwell to the 14th floor, the highest in the building. Then I run to the roof. I catch my breath there.

After 10 minutes the policemen reach the roof. "Now you're trapped. Why did you run up here? You can't get away from here!" one of the policemen says to me. "Are you sure?" I ask, grinning, and walk to the edge of the roof. Then I look down into the depths. There is a tool shed below. I pretend I want to throw myself off the roof.

"Don't do it," shouts the policeman who spoke to me earlier.„Calm down. Nothing will happen to me.”‚ I say, laughing, because I'm starting to enjoy this whole thing.„No human would survive something like that.”„That's exactly the point. I'm not human.”„So what are you?”

Smiling, I take on my second form.„My name is Dragon. I am the Black Dragon Queen. Maybe you've heard of me before, but didn't believe that I, or that black dragons, even exist. Well, as you can see, I do exist."

I take a short break. Then I take on my 1. form again.„But of course that would be too easy if I jumped down here in my 2. form. Then I could just teleport away. That's much more exciting. But if you give me a good reason why I shouldn't do it, then I won't do it. Take your time."

The policeman and his colleagues discuss things. I wait for the result.

After a few minutes, the policeman says: "You've had some nice experiences, haven't you?”„Yes, a few. Why?”„And if you don't jump down here now, then you'll definitely have many more nice experiences."

"Sorry, bad argument. Try again next time." With this sentence, I throw myself off the roof.

Just before I hit the ground, I hold on to the roof of the tool shed. A brief pain shoots through my arms. Then I let myself fall to the ground.

"Is everything OK?”‚ asks Saphira, who has teleported to me.„Yes.”„You could have just taken the stairs.”„Stairs are boring."

With these words I walk into the forest.
