I run into the camp and breath a sigh of relief as I see no-one is awake, not even the employees.      Well not everyone...                        The old man is working. He is busy digging a hole for the traditional Farmstead new year burial. It's some sort of tradition where people bury a doll they had from the previous year.           Americans... Such weird people. I just hope that someone will come in the future and show the world the truth about America. I then see the old man put down the shovel he is working with, look up at the sky and nod.                   Then turn into a dragon! And all I can do is watch helplessly as I start to piece together what might have happened.                                                                                                                                                 I run to the cabin my family are staying at, hoping that nobody (the old man) notices.                   He noticed.                                         And I find myself carried into the sky, like i'm taken hostage. I struggle against the old mans grip but dragon claws are the BEST at holding onto things.         The best...

After a short flight, the old man (or should I call him old dragon?) takes me into the cave, the very same cave i was going to explore, the one I woke up near to. He takes me into the cave and flies through some short paths. Then im set down on a rock, which MELTS (yeah melts) in certain places, so now my hands and legs are tied down (well not tied but you get the point). Then  in front of me stands the old man (not dragon.)                                               "Are you human?" The old man asks me.                                             "n-no." I reply. If I could I would be shaking with fear. But I can't. "Then WHAT are you?" The old man asks.                                         "D-don't y-you know th-that?" I ask.                                                     "No. I don't. I will repeat the question, What are you?" The old man says.                                           "I'm a d-dragon." I reply shaking, "I thought you knew, the drink you gave me last night, it had blood didn't it?"                                 "Hmmmmm, I didn't realise that the blood from my cut got in there. The moment you fainted I had to get you out of the scene. I was meant to turn you into one of us later." He replies. I feel the rock start to loosen its grip on me. "Um, if I may ask, what is your name?" I ask.                         "He Garo Kae, thats my name. I don't need to know yours Jan, the employees were told your name and the names of others long ago."        

I enter the cabin after a short flight back from He Garo Kae's cave. I can hear my parents snores coming from their room. "Good their asleep." I think. I walk over to my room, wishing I didn't have to stay in this cabin. I want to fly, not sit or lie down. You would too, if you just took your first flight and enjoyed it. I end up thinking about the events of the past 12 hours, until my parents are awake and we are packing, and going straight to the airport. We have to because school starts on the 6th, thats like 5 days from now. I dreaded it as an normal guy would, but now I dread it even more, one mistake and people will be asking about my tongue.                              
Just one mistake.
