Ice Dragon

Out on the Run

It was dark at night. Everyone was sleeping and I couldn't visit Grandpa, I was worried though. I couldn't fight the feeling I had right at the moment. That feeling to break free and run around. I also had the feeling about being the one dragon around maybe millions of descended knights. And one maybe  Yoshiro, the only person who has ever talked to me. I had to get some fresh air, so I sneaked out the house once more. I doubted I was going to sleep tonight, so it was okay for me. The air was getting cold so I left me sweater behind, the icy wind was nice.

The city is never calm but it was a bit calmer then it is in the morning. I never go through the alleyways I have never been in, don't want any trouble with the dark night gangs that are planning trouble everyday. I walk around and watch the cars drive around, as adults go home, to the bars, or a restaurant. It's busy still though, night meetings, and traveling. The only thing I enjoy about this city................is the lights. No matter what the lights remind me of home. When the stars are out, I would have to fly up to sky till the clouds are the only thing I see and the stars above. 

I walk into an alley way, the one I usually walk through, but today was not my day. A whole gang was standing there, with their bats and crowbars. A chill went down my spine and I step away slowly trying to not draw attention to myself. But I back into another stranger, and I turned to see a tall gang member. He pushes me into the alley, and I knew I was in trouble now. "Hey guys, we got a spy."

I was a little bit scare, but not scared enough to scream for help. This is the city of trouble, and these streets aren't the best places to be when it gets dark and there's no officer to be found. 

"What's a girl like you doing out of home?" The leader of the group asked, and I couldn't reply. I just turn my head away, though it sounded as if I was pouting. Which made everyone surround me and stare down on me. That's when everything went fast, in almost a blink of an eye. I attempted to run away but they grabbed my hair, pulling me back as they surrounded me. They taunted me as they tried to get a nice grasp of my white hair.

"Hey what are you doing?" Someone shouted making them all stiffen up. I turned to see Yoshiro, was he a street walker too? When he looks at me he walks forward but I back away out of shock. He looks at the others and they don't make eye contact with him though they were staring at him.

"Sorry Yoshiro, didn't know she was with you." The leader of the group said pushing me to Yoshiro. He glares at them as he walks away, taking me with him. I wanted to run away from them all, I was surprised and unsure what to do. But he seemed to have a nice grip on my shoulder. When we got far away from them I jumped away from him.

I saw the shock on his face when I moved away from him. My chest felt heavy every time he tried to explain the situation to me. I back away to the point I was running away from him. My dragon instincts told me to just attack him out of protection but I really knew he didn't mean harm, right? I end up going to the edge of the city to the docks right near the water. "Wait stop Angel!" He shouted.

I swallow hard as he steps forward, I put my hands up for him to stop. But with a stern face he continued to walk forward. "Look Angel, I am nothing you think I am. I just know those guys from way back. Angel get away from the edge." He said. I turned to the water and saw my escape but he would see the real me. I could see the fear in his eyes, only of the water though. I walk away from the edge and keep my hands up to back him away. When we get from the docks we stand a few feet away from each other. I look at him and slowly put my arms down.

Within that moment I was in his embrace, I could feel the static and I push him away. "Why do you hate me so much all the sudden? What have ever done to you?" He shouted, those eyes gave me the shivers. The anger he had made me wanna fly away but I couldn't not without him knowing. I look away and run without thinking, I wouldn't stop till I was home again in my room.
