"You are out of your fucking mind, Toby," I said as he told me his idea.

"I am not! Clearly the dragon community hates Ari and loves you," Toby argued.

"One dragon loved me Toby. The rest probably hate me because I let their fellow dragon die," I exclaimed back.

"Do you want to beat Ari or not. It's not like we are risking anything more then we already are! The worst they could do is kill us and summoning the Dream Ghost could already do that," it was Dan who spoke up his time. "Also in the final battle against her we could use some allies."

"Guys leave her be," Hannah snapped. "She clearly should make the decisions here and she needs time to think. Dragons can be dangerous creatures for two reasons. One is no spells effect them. Two is that they are bi-polar most of the time. And they are also almost extinct so I don't know if you are going to be convincing them to fight."

"Shut up Hannah. You have no say in this," Toby growled.

"Toby," my voice filled with authority. "Go calm yourself. And never talk to her again that way."

"Quite acting like you control me! I'm done with all of you," Toby whirled around, shifted and raced down the road, Dan chasing after him.

"Well he clearly needs anger management classes," Windy said. "But I'll leave too, give you guys space to talk it out."

"Thank you Windy," I sighed, without Cameron a part of me died, even though he wasn't dead.

"I should probably go too," Hannah whispered and began after Windy.

"No Hannah," she looked back, confused. "Please stay and help me decide."

"Are you sure," she asked.

"Yes," I took a deep breath.

"Ok. Well the first thing my dad taught me to do when you have to make a big decision is to be calm and rational," Hannah smiled at the memory. "Then review the plan."

"Ok well Toby wants to go to the dragon community and ask the dragon leader to get Cameron back," I took a deep breath again. "But like you said dragons are dangerous."

"Alright," Hannah smiled happily at me. "Next step is to say your options."

"We either go to the dragons or we go get Cameron ourselves," I said, nodding thoughtfully.

"Then lastly, which option seems more reasonable," she looked at me expectantly.

"That's where I can't decide. If we go by ourselves then we are basically walking to our deaths but also if we go to the dragons, they might take it the wrong way and kill us," I looked at her. "I just don't know Hannah."

"Well I don't know if you want my opinion but I think going to the dragons is better. Only because at least if we go there, we have a chance of living," Hannah said.

"Alright. I think you're right Hannah," I grinned at her. "To the dragons it will be."

What would Scarlett do in this situation I mentally asked myself. The memory flooded back to me.

'First step, check your surroundings for a weapon. Almost anything can be a weapon.' Scarlett's voice rung in my head.

I turned and scanned the room. Nothing. Apparently Ari knew anything could be a weapon. There was four narrow windows on each wall, barred. Even if I could get the bars off there was no way I could fit through the window.
