A girl with a heart of gold, beauty, and grace.
Not to mention a dragon as a pet.
What could possibly be wrong?
Probably the fact she's trapped inside a lamp.

"Kayla, stay here. I'm going after Clarissa." I said as I watched the large forest. Clarissa was out there somewhere and she needed my help.
"Are you crazy? I'm coming with you-" Kayla tried to argue but I was having none of it.
"No. As weird as this sounds, I'm her master. She has to listen to me and she is my responsibility. I need to be the one to help her. I don't want anyone else to get hurt. And I need you to help me by going back to the house and stay with the others, alright?"
Kayla stayed silent. She knows I was right about this.
"Alright," Kayla sighed. "Be careful. If you don't come back in thirty minutes I am coming after you," she warned before heading back inside.
Once I'm sure that's she's inside, I turned to look at the woods.
This won't be so bad right? Just a regular night in the woods trying to find a drunk genie who may be dead. My heart raced with fear at the thought.
I looked at my watch. I've been running through the woods for ten minutes and there's still no sign of Clarissa.
I had to find her soon. Those people at the party can't be frozen forever and I don't know what happened to Clarissa. Did she get alcohol poisoning? Did her magic or body get damaged from the alcohol? Did Marissa add something to the drink? Is she dead?
I sat on the dirt floor to take a quick break, a sense of helplessness overtaking me. I hated this feeling. I thought as a master, I would have some ability to track her, but nope. Still a human weakling in this situation. Did I use a wish on her? As much as I wanted to use a wish, I wanted to do this on my own. Without all this magic.
It's strange. I felt a need to prove to myself that I can be responsible and protect Clarissa. She claimed that her purpose was to protect me, but now it was time for me to protect her. I sighed. I hoped I'm not being stupid and it wasn't just male pride. I checked my surroundings on the floor again.
Tree. Tree. Leaf. Light. Tree-
Wait light?
I hopped up from my spot on the dirt, hope building in my chest. I thought I found her!
I ran towards the light, but remained hidden. I decided to hide behind one of the trees in the woods and examined the source. I sighed in relief.
It was Clarissa.
But she looked completely different though. My relief turned into horror and fear for her.
Her face seemed twisted- almost like she's on the edge of insanity. She had a twisted smile on her face that sent chills down my spine. Her eyes were pure white, giving it a bright glow. Her hair was blowing everywhere, seeming to move from the force of her power.
