Death rider

I kill my great grandma

Mum and I had to walk home, usually we would ride on dads body gobbler for transport but he was at home with rest of the family. On the way, mother was complaining on how  I must not leave and how dangerous it is, how unlikely it is that death dragons actually exist in the first place. I just nodded angrily. It's like she wants me to be dragonless.
"You do understand that death dragon have killed there riders, just for the fun of it!" She complained
"You don't actually believe that do you?"
"Why wouldn't I!? Our leading has told us many things about death dragons, they are murderous creatures and if you find one, it will kill you."
I wanted to argue but everyone knew that if the leader said something, it's because he was trying to protect us. Ideally.
"Anyway, lets not bring this up while greatma' is here. She gets so up tight about small things, I mean she is so old I don't blame her, but when she writes I want you to hide you die and not tell her anything." Mum said trying to make me forget about death dragons, it wasn't working.
"Or what?"
"She will start telling us about myths and legends like last time she said that every time we eat a meat ball we must thank the universe. She would flip if she saw your die."
I hadn't seen much of greatma' she might of come over once every three years. She was my great grandmother and always brought us sweets. I was never her favourite child although she seemed to always keep a watchful eye on me. Why? I don't know.
When we reached home greatma' was sprawled across a lounge chair with a cup of coffee resting on the arm. Her eyes were greyish, like mine, and her grey hair had shots of black in it which I hadn't paid any thought to until then. She had saggy blue folds under her eyes and wrinkles all over her arms and legs that made them look like bags of empty skin. Around her neck was a thin long wire with a single scale-like-charm. It was as big as a old CD and was pitch black except for a yellow pattern that decorated the venture of the flat object. The charm hung at about her stomach height and flung around as she spoke. Greatma'  was surprisingly active for someone her age, as she spoke she told the story with her hands and she would half act the whole story out with expressions and sound effects. One of her slippers sat next to her chair but she didn't seem to care that mums smallish earthquaker dragon was munching on the other one. Then her eyes met mine, she grinned excitedly.
"Oh, lilo! Come come, pull up a chair, tell me everything!" She said as she beckoned me over and patted on the chair next to her.
"Ar- grandma, she doesn't have a-" mum started but was interrupted by greatma' who was busily making me comfy by stuffing me with pillows.
"Trixy," she said without lifting her head, "be a dear and fetch me another cup of coffee, I would kill for a little bit more energy right about now." She commanded.
In my point of view she could do with a bit less energy at that point in time, but by the looks of it mum knew better than to argue.
Once greatma' had sat me down she looked at me and her eyes widened. "Now, tell me everything." She whispered.
I wanted to tell her, I wanted to just explain my heart out to her, but I knew mum would be listing in to make sure I didn't. Some how greatma' seemed to know what I was thinking.
"Trixy, I completely forgot a toothbrush, and I can only use the ones that are made especially for weaker teeth," she yelled to the kitchen, "could you do me a favour and run down to the shops and buy me one, here's the money!" She said holding out seven dollars.
Mum took the money and sighed, "if I must," she muttered as she grabbed her bag and scooted out the door.
"So then," greatma' started, "now that we have no ear droppers you can tell me."
I was so surprised about what just happened I doubted I could remember any of it, but I got myself back into check and started to speak. "Greatma', I don't have a dragon." I said nervously.
"I knew it." She smiled, her face lifted as though that was the best news she heard all day. She leant forward and started to whisper. "Lilo, you are a death rider, and as you would know your dragon is still out there,"
"It's what?" I exclaim.
"Sh Sh Sh, I am a death rider as well, but I am forbidden to tell you much more," she held her charm as though it was her most valuable item. "I am just here to warn you, don't trust Jhonsta."
"The town leader?" I questioned.
"Yes, yes him. Don't trust him. He has evil intentions and greedy ways, he is the reason that death dragons are forbidden."
"But he is such a good guy." I noted.
"On the outside, maybe. But he is fooling you just as much as he is fooling everyone else. Believe me, and you might find that this...." She reached behind my ear and pulled out my purple streak. "isn't so useless after all."
"How did you know-"
"I have one too." She laughed as she patted the left side of her hair were a faint yellow strip was hidden behind grey hairs. It seemed to perfectly match her yellow and black pendant and I wanted to gasp but I was to amazed. "Find your dragon." She whispered, use it to find who you truely are." I stared at her in complete wonder. "Tell your mother that I went for a walk, I'll be back before dinner." She muttered, and winked.
Then suddenly, she looked as though she stated to melt, her wrinkles stretched and her body twisted, her limbs shrunk and grew like they were moving spaghetti until she dissapeared into nothingness.
"Greatma!" I yelped helplessly.
Did she just die? What am I going to tell mum?
