Dragon Girl (5SOS)

Chapter 1

I push my black straightened hair out of my face and make my way down the street and towards Starbucks. I need some fucking coffee, because they obviously don't make as strong tea here in Australia as in London.

I walk into Starbucks and automatically go to my seat I always sat at this past month. I work here but it's not my shift yet.

"Hey Mia! (AN: Pronounced Maia) What you doin' here, it's not your shift?" Mel says walking to my booth. "Just here for some coffee..." I answer... All I really want is some strong tea...

"Well, ya know... I could make you some fancy shmancy Brits tea if you like?" Mel asks. I nod excitedly. "God, I wasn't even a British citizen for 2 years and I'm already hooked to that life style..." I sulk.

"Yeah, I mean come on... America was your roots right?" She asks and I nod. "Then tell me why you would move from a hot country with tanned hotties to a gloomy place that has no sun shine and vampire boys?" she asks cocking an eyebrow at me and staring me down.

"Cause... I don't wanna be an American Idiot!" I sing and make guitar noises. Mel rolls her eyes, but chuckles at me when I start making dance movements with my hands and fingers. She goes back to make my Tea and comes back with it.

I practically drool as I take a massive sip of the boiling tea and sigh in delight. Mel looks at me like I've grown a second head. "Didn't that burn your throat? Hell to the nah ah am I ever doin' that no matter how thirsty I am!" she says shocked.

The heat of the tea doesn't affect me... I mean come on... my mouth and throat could take up to 1000 degrees. All Dragons are able to drink or eat hot substances without getting hurt. If I look through my dragons eyes I can see up to 6000 feet away... now obviously... Mel doesn't know this...

"I guess I'm immune since I... Did I tell you that my dad was Native American?" I changed the subject. She gasped "No... no I didn't! How did your parents meet?" she asked curiously.

"Well my mom met him at a party and they started seeing each other, she got pregnant at the age of 16 with me and moved to America to live with my dad. My mom's now a single parent at the age of 34 because my dad died," I finished, leaving out the part that my dad was killed for being a dragon person.

My mom knows about me and my dad and that's why she left with him when she found out she was pregnant. She didn't want anyone to know what I was or that I was different. My mother is from a long line of Dragon protectors and kept dragons alive for centuries. I'm 17 now and my dragon protectors are my mom and my best friend Laya.

Mel sat there awkward. "So I have to go serve the other people. Your shift starts in 20 minutes," she says walking off.

I sit quietly and enjoy my tea. The only reason my mother came back to Australia is because she wanted me to bond with the rest of our family (The Hood's) they took my mother's sister's surname since I'm also a Hood. My family have always kept their surname because they're protectors and the normal dragons remember the surnames of former family's, but most of the dragons have fused with humans and now work as one... like myself.

I was born dragon but my father's family had fused with dragon spirits because they could be trusted and pure. Some dragons and protectors get married and have kids which allow the gene to skip some of the children so they could be protectors.

If 2 dragons meet and have children the offspring are usually just as powerful as those of the protector and dragon line, but if the other half is human then the line is weaker.

I got snapped out of my thoughts when my mother joined me at my booth with my little sister Amy. Her real name is Amethyst, but we call her Amy. She's 8 with brown hair and hazel eyes like my mother. I have my father's brown eyes and blackish brown hair, along with his and my mother's tanned skin.
