I walked into the school, ignoring the jeers from other while having a very important conversation
with Zena about the latest pop star.
"But she is so original!" thought Zena as she walked beside my feet.
"No way! She is just an attention getter." I thought while I rolled my eyes at her, which made me not see
the kid in front of me and I bumbed and fell on top of them. They ruffly shoved me off of them and onto
the floor.
"Watch where your going, loser." sneered Namen above me. I just rolled my eyes at him, got up
and continued on my way. Unfortunately, Namen didn't let it drop. Every chance he got he banged into
me. For three days he did this and I came home with bruises. On the third day, however, he knocked
into me so hard that I crashed into a wall. My eyes turned fuzzy as i heard screeching.
I raised a hand to my head and felt something sticky in my hair. "Oh great." I thought as stars
danced in front of my eyes. A buzzing sound started in my head and the world turned black.
I slowly came out of a deep sleep. My eye lids fluttered open and I was looking up at a white
ceiling, definitely not the school or my house. I tentatively sat up, the room slightly spinning, and my
head feeling slightly heavier than usual.
I put a hand to my head and felt thick wrappings around it. I looked around the room, on my bed
was Zena sleeping. All around the room were white beds identical to the on I was in. The walls
were a soft pink and the floor was a deep blue. It was clean but empty except for me and Zena.
"Zena, Zena, where are we?" I asked out loud, stroking her. As I stroked her, my hand felt many
out of place bumps, ridges and crackly scales. I leaned in for a closer look and gasped, horrified.
In many places her scales were burned and bruises ran up and down her spine. I rolled her gently
over and saw three long gashes along her chest. Her ragged breathing evened out and her eyes
sleepily opened.
She yawned, her jaw opening wide. "Good morning." She said in my mind. "Zena, what
happened to you?" I answered back. She looked sheepishly at the bed and spoke aloud, "When
Named knocked you into the wall, I- I-" tears started trickling down her snout. " I killed his dragon!"
She wailed and started to sob.
"You did what?" I gasped as she buried herself under the covers. "Zena!" I shrieked, "Do you
know what this means? We could- " I cut off as the door opened and two police men came in.
"Miss, your wanted in the court room." one of the men said as he lifted me from the bed and set
me on my feet. "What? You can't do this!" I screamed as he dragged me out of the room, followed by
the other officer carrying a very peaceful looking Zena, which really ticked me off.
They dragged us (well mostly me) into a court room full of people including my mother, who was
