A Silver Blur

Chapter Eleven

As soon as I grabbed it I knew that that was the one of, if not the most idiotic things that I've ever done, so I facepalmed. There was an angry roar from somewhere in the cave.

"This will fix the problem! This is the answer!" Kayla said. Then she must of heard the same roar I had.

"Caz, we should go!" Kayla said panicked. I could now see her face in the glowing light from the necklace.

"Agreed!" I said. Then an angry, but beautiful, blood red dragon crept out into the small area of the cave we were in. It roared again, this time shooting out fire. "Kayla run!"

She did just that, expecting me to be right behind her. Then she slipped on one of the stairs. The dragon spat out more flames in hopes of burning me, but it had no effect. I threw the necklace to Kayla and grabbed my daggers. After the dragon realised that he wasn't going to be able to hurt me, it turned towards Kayla.

"Uh oh," Kayla said as she grabbed the necklace and scrambled to get up. "Caz come on!"

"You go, I'll be there soon. I promise." I answered as I charged at the monster which had been distracted by Kayla. I stabbed at it as Kayla ran up the stairs quickly.

The monster roared and turned back to me slashing with its claws. They went right through me as I laughed. I ran up the stairs not wanting to kill the beautiful, graceful dragon. Once I reached the doorway where the others were waiting it seemed as if there had been no dragon at all.

"Let's go," I said quickly, grabbing them each by the arm and leading them behind tree.

"What happened?" Lou Ellen asked just before there was an angry roar.

"That happened," I said standing up. "Go back to camp. I will be there when you get back. I promise." They nodded believing every word I said. I ran off and distracted the dragon while signaling for them to leave. After they left I stopped fighting the dragon, my dragon.

"Good boy Blaze," I whispered as I got on him while realizing how fitting his name was. "Take me home. They know what to do. They can save the trees. I believe I have certainly raised the bars." I said the last part with a small laugh.
