Chase: A Dragon's Tale

Chapter 3 - Beep, Crack, Bam!

Beeeeep. Beeeeep. All I could hear was beeping. I open my eyes and am almost immediately blinded by the brightness. I groan and sit up. Where am I? I look around the small room I'm in and notice a window showing the hallway and people staring through the glass. Shock? Amazement? I couldn't tell. I swung my head around, creating a dizzying effect in my eyes, as I heard a door opening. I listened as a people came rushing in, talking over one another.

The look in their eyes said that something near the impossible happened. "Where am I?" I rasp, disliking how weak my voice sounds, "and how long have I been here?" A young lady with red hair replies, 'You're at the hospital and you have been here for 2 months. We were starting to give up on you." "Why am I here?" I ask in confusion.

 The lady replies "You were attacked by a shark and have been in a coma. Your left leg was badly damaged." I don't remember anything from after we hopped out of the car at the beach and I left dad unpacking the car. "Dad!" I gasp. "It's okay," the lady soothes, "Someone has contacted him and he is on his way here. So are your sister and mum."

They come racing through the door. All three of them. Sammy jumps on top of me with mum following close behind to give me a hug. Dad stands in the doorway smiling with happiness. "We thought we had lost you," mum says in a whisper. I can see wet patches on her cheeks from tears. "I'm okay mum, really," I say, my voice getting stronger. Sammy just grips me tighter, almost choking me. "She needs to stay for a few days, to make sure she is okay," I hear a doctor telling my dad. I can't see them past mum and Sammy.

They do several checks in the next 2 days and I am allowed to move into one of the other rooms, which are more private. Mum and dad come in to check me every day. Sammy sends me get well soon and please come home cards every day. Soon they tell me that I am good to go but not to overextend myself.

Dad comes to pick me up 3 days after I 'woke up'. "I can't wait to go home," I say at least 3 times on the way home. Halfway there, he pulls over. "I have something I have been meaning to give you Alyson," he tells me seriously. He hands me a silver jewelry box with a sapphire in the middle of a flower on it. "It's beautiful," I breath. "look insi..." Dad began to say. Bam! Bam bam! My ears ringing, I look out the window of the car to see a black Holden racing toward us. "Drive!" I scream. Dad puts on the throttle and swerves onto the road. "Quick!", he yells, "open the box!" and I do. inside there is a large oval size stone.

"What is it?" I yell over the engine. "It is an e..." Bam! and he collapses. I scream and grab the steering wheel. I hear a crack and saw the stone wobble and start to get bigger and bigger and bigger. soon it was the size of a netbook. Crack. And the stone split in two. It was not a stone at all. 

It was an egg.
