Chapter 1
It was dark. There wasnt a sound. I was scared out of my mind! Then i heard labored breathing next to me and a stench filled the air. Something or someone breathed and it sent goose bumps down my spine. All the hairs on my arm stood up. Something cold and hard pressed into the side of my neck. I froze. Shit was i going to die!!! No, no, no, no,no this cant be happening!
"You better run princess, you better run."
The cold knife was taken away and i bent over my heart pounding so fast i felt like it might run away from me any moment now.
And then blackness.
I woke to people screaming bloody murder, and i felt like i was being carried away. I looked up. There was a person carring me. I was about to start screaming like the rest of the frantic people around me but then i saw my so called kidnappers arm.
It was covered in tattoes. Dragon tattoes. I breathed a sigh of relief when i saw the tattoe of the blue dragon in the midst of them all. My so called kidnapper was my brother.
We live in a tribe called the Abeca. Its an ancient tribe, but that doesnt mean we're old school. We have schools and little villages and we go to the mall and all that other stuff. We are just like every other person on the street. Except were not on the street, nor are we like them.We are Dragon shifters.Because its inherited through your parents from our great ancestors they made a tribe and we shift into Dragons. When you shift, in our tribe atleast. You get a tattoe, depending on what your Dragon looks like it will be made to look like it so we can identify our people for who they really are.
My brother has shifted already which explains the tattoes. I have not. You shift on your sixteenth birthday. I have 2 more years to go. back home im counting down the days to my 16th birthday. Speaking of home why am i not there?
All of a sudden i was jolted back into reallity when my older brother Tiberus tossed me into the back seat.
"What the h*ll Tiberus! What is going on?!?! Where are we? Whats going ON??? "
"Sorry lil'sis but we gotta go! Something or someone is after the tribe. Mom told me to take you and just go. She said to just keep running and to STAY with each other no matter what."
"WHAT! So were just leaving! Weres mom?!?!Im not leaving without her! You didnt answer me! What is going ON!!!" i screamed at him suddenly very afraid
"I DONT KNOW OK!! I dont know Alana, i dont know." tears were running down his face
Oh my god i did that, i made him cry. Tiberus is the most strongest person i know, he didnt even bat an eye when he got his tattoes! And now he's crying??!? This is really, really bad.
