A Dragons Tale

Jemma

I hate math class. It's the last period of the day, on the last day of the year, of course they had to make it maths. Mr. King was babbling something about algebra and some other useless information, just another typical math class. Every second seems to last hours, and the clock seemed to be going backwards. Can't wait for this to be over.

***********************************************************************

The bell finally rang, freeing me from hell. Here's a question, have you ever sat through one of those random late night infomercial? That's what math class is like, except you can't change the channel. I packed my stuff and left, feeling a wave of relief flood over me as I exited the school to head home for the summer. Can't wait to relax, watch movies and play video games. These summer holidays are gonna rock!

Those are the thoughts I had an hour ago, everything's changed since then. I stepped out of the school gates and rounded a corner. I passed an alleyway and was grabbed. Kid napped by a bunch of men who hate my father. They wanted to use me for ransom, or kill me if he didn't pay. Yeah, this sounds terrible and it escalated quickly but hey, life does that. I was tied up in the back of a truck as it came to a halt somewhere in the bush. As I was pushed out, I saw something in the bush, it was large and black, with blue eyes staring at me through a shrub. I locked eyes with the creature, which now looked like a giant reptile, and it vanished into the bush.

I was about to warn my captures, but the unthinkable happened. Something so absurd and so crazy, it never should have happened...
