The Devil Spawn

Prologue

The little girl played on the swings in her backyard. Her mother was inside making dinner.

She saw a white rabbit and hopped off her swing and tried to grab it. The rabbit bounded off into the woods surrounding their 3 story white and blue Victorian house. She followed it, determined to catch the rabbit.

She followed it deep into the forest.

Before long, she realized that she doesn't know the way home. She walked around trying to find where she came from, but she couldn't. She sat down on a half rotten log and started sobbing.

She sat crying for what felt like hours, until she had no more tears left. By that time, it was dark. She was getting scared. She sat on the log with her knees tucked to her chest.

She felt a cool, dry, scaly thing drag itself across her back. She opened her mouth and let out a long, high pitched scream. The thing made a small hissing sound and the girl started crying yet again that night.

"Shhhh, I'm not going to hurt you" a voice said. She stopped crying and looked around for the voice. "I'm over here" it said. She looked to where the voice came from. She saw it; a dragon.

But instead of getting more frightened, she became curious. "What are you?" She asked. "I am a storm dragon." The dragon said, self importantly. "I am only 3 months old." The dragon let a bit of electricity crackle down its spine. "Cool!" She said. "I am 4 years old." She didn't know that dragons were supposedly Devil Spawn. "What's your name?" she asked. "My name is Surge." The dragonet said.

"So, why were you crying?" asked Surge. "Oh. I got lost. I don't know how to get home to Mommy!" She cried, in tears again. "Oh that's easy! I know every place in his whole woods!" Surge said, excitedly. "Come on! Follow me!" The eager dragonet crashed through the underbrush, with the little girl close behind.

An hour later she saw her home. "Thank you! I will never forget you!" she gave the dragonet a big hug. He wrapped his neck around her shoulders. "Bye." He said, kind of sadly, as his only friend ran away from him toward her house, where the humans that think he's devil spawn lived.
