The Secret

Chapter 1

It was just a normal day for me, I always went for a walk through the forest after school. It helped clear my head a little, to think a bit about what to do next. I was thinking of different subjects like math, reading, science, etc. That's when I noticed that I had this weird feeling, like someone was watching me. " Thomas!",I called. And as I expected here comes my younger brother Thomas tripping over branches. " How did you know it was me?!",he answered. "You're not as quiet as you think you are.", I answered. He stuck his tongue out at me.
"Whatever", I said after him.
Thomas was blonde and had glasses. He was really weird but you know after being with him for a while you get used to it. He also had those eyes that changed color but was mainly a hazel color. Me well I'm blonde as well, have glasses, get good grades,etc. Basically the smart one of the house.
We continued to walk through the forest until I thought that we've went far enough, turned around and went home. It was really boring after doing nothing but there was one more day of school then I'd have summer break for the next 3 months or so. Later on I played a game with my brother and then it was time for bed. It was really boring and I couldn't sleep and I didn't know why. I did have this feeling, a feeling like my senses were heightened, like I also had this feeling, the feeling of the need to be high in the sky. It was weird, I also felt like something was calling to me. I've been having these weird dreams of an egg, a BIG egg in fact. It was a sandy pale with a hint of grey. I've never seen anything like it. I felt the need to protect it, get to it and make sure it's ok. I felt connected to it. I didn't know what to do, it was on my mind, a lot.
I came home and did my normal walk, Thomas stayed home this time because he had his friends over. Thank God, I thought. Suddenly the connection felt closer, stronger even. It caused me to panic and to run home and the adrenaline didn't help. I tried to forget the feeling but it was impossible to do it.
For the next few days I stayed away from the woods. I still got a weird feeling whenever I went near it. So I distracted myself by making sure I did something. But never could get distracted enough.
It was a sketchy idea, but I couldn't be afraid forever. I took a step towards the forest, walking slowly, but at a good pace. I kept walking and then as clumsy as I was, tripped over what looks like a rock. I was about to kick it when I realized it wasn't a rock at all. I didn't know what it was though that was true. So I decided to take it home and look up what it might be in my books. Carefully I pick it up, but then I recognized the pattern but didn't know where. Come on think. But nothing came to my mind. I sighed and when I touched it there was some sort of shock, and something began to burn on my shoulder. It was some sort of mark of a beautiful, feathered reptile. It just appeared on my shoulder. This is super freaky, I thought.
When I get home I have to carefully go to my bedroom so that nobody would try to take whatever the thing I had. When I got close to my room, I sprinted the rest of the way to hurry and see what this was. I set it down on my bed, making sure it didn't fall off, I frantically began to rummage through my book shelf to try and find the right book. Then something caught my eye, a book somehow I don't know how, knew it was the right one. I don't remember ever seeing it, but I'm not very observant either. I blow the dust off and read the title. I was suddenly startled when I read it. I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't seeing things. This is impossible. It can't be true. But I knew that it was the right book. I read the title and looked at the object that I brought home.
The book I took out was, Dragon Legends. I looked at the object and said, "You're an egg, a dragon egg. But how is that possible, you're just a myth." I still couldn't believe it, but knew it was true. Me of all people has a dragon egg. That means, I gasped, I'm a dragon rider!
