The school day was finally over and Dan and I were heading back to the house, but on the way there we heard some voices around the foot of the mountain and saw some helicopters flying overhead.
"Come on." Dan said pulling me into a bush as a government agent stepped into view, I held my breaths as he approached and looked around for where the rustling sound we made came from.
He grunted and walked off "why are they here? As far as Dr.Cally knows, we're clueless about everything going on." I said getting up when the coast was clear.
"Maybe Kitty snitched about us." Dan said standing up as well.
"She wouldn't do that, she's our friend." I said.
"Look right now it doesn't matter, we have to get out of here before they find us." Dan said grabbing my hand and pulling me away.
Macy?! Macy are you there, are you ok? I couldn't reach you for quite some time and I was worried. There are many humans surrounding the mountain where I am, I don't know if I can get out. Fulgur asked.
I'm here Fulgur, I'm fine, and we'll find a way to get you out I swear, just don't fly off the have helicopters and they'll see you in seconds. I said.
Alright, in the meantime I'll try and find a way to you. Fulgur said before cutting our connection.
Dan and I were walking around to the back of the mountain that was the furthest from the city "HEY!!!" we heard a man yell.
We turned and saw the man from before running at us "Run Mace run!" Dan shouted, he and we sprinted away as fast as we possibly could, I looked back and saw that we were losing the man but he was already calling for backup.
"Dang it." I grumbled to myself, I heard a roar and Fulgur came running out of the trees being chased by some army men "FULGUR!!!!" I shouted to get her attention, she turned and looked at us. Sweeping her tail at the men she knocked them onto the ground and ran to us, she grabbed us in her claws and took off in the blink of an eye. Fulgur we can't fly the helicopters will spot us! I said thinking I had to talk over the wind.
It's fine, I can out fly them. She said calmly.
While carrying us? I asked.
She didn't respond and I looked back to see the helicopters catching us, Fulgur tilted and did a sharp turn to the right, the helicopters turned and followed us but their turn wasn't as sharp as Fulgur's. Hold on. Fulgur said as she folded her wings in and went into a steep dive, I screamed because she didn't give me enough warning, we pulled up just as we got to a tree line and she flew into the tunnel that goes through the mountain, a car honked its horn as we zipped over it and out of the tunnel, she banked to the right and landed in a cave hidden by the trees.
"Fulgur. Don't! Ever do that again." I said waiting for my stomach to catch up with us.
Sorry but I had to get away. She said putting us down.
I walked over to the cave entrance and watched the helicopters passed right over us and some army vehicles drive into the tunnel "we're too close to them, now we can't leave without being spotted." I said.
Sure we can, did you forget I'm part Darkness dragon, I can make the shadow's hide us if we leave tonight. She said.
"What do you mean leave?" I asked cautiously.
Well we have to get away and get back to Caelum, it's the only safe place now. She said.
"No no no no no no no no no no." I said quickly "I'm not going to Caelum any time soon, I'm saying right here at my good home earth." I said.
Trabea please, you have to come back home. She said.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuugh. Fulgur look, unless you can give me absolute proof that I'm a dragon and not a human, then I'm not going with you." I said.
Fine then, there's a lab not far from here, I'll take you and then we can look at your cells and DNA. she said.
"Fine!" I said.
Fine! She shouted back, we turned away from each other and looked at us Dumbfounded.
"Uuuuuuh what just happened?" Dan asked.
"Nothing, let's get some rest, we need to be able to get away later." I said walking to the back of the cave and sitting against the wall.
Dan walked over and sat beside me, he wrapped his arms around me to keep me warm and I leaned against him to take a nap. But it wasn't long before I started to shiver from the december wind blowing in the cave, I moved closer to Dan and there was a random warmth all around us, I looked up and Fulgur was curled around us shielding us from the cold, I yawned and closed my eyes "gratias ago." I muttered before falling asleep on Dan.
