Dragon's Curse

Kalie's Begining

I got pelted with yet another rotten tomato.

Hi, I'm Kalie. I have pink eyes, white as snow skin. My face is ugly. I really mean that. Not like I thought it because of self-esteem issues. My left eye is on the side of my forehead, the other in the middle of the cheekbone on that side. I have no nose, and my mouth is misshapen and to the left and lower than it should be. My ears are like Dobby's from Harry Potter. I have to breathe out of my mouth, and I'm picked on daily. The insults vary.  Anyway, at lunch today I was hit with three...no..four now, rotten tomatoes. I finally gave up on trying anything. I walked out of the school, at 12:37, and would never return. I just cannot deal with the bullies anymore. However, I didn't see Markov today, this is the first day without him picking on me. Good....? I walked down the street with my bookbag and saw two police cars twenty feet up. I ran to it.

"Excuse me, miss, but..."  The female police talking to me saw me. She froze. I rolled my eyes. 

"You were saying?" People always gawked like my face was contagious. My voice sounded as pained as somebody stepping on a LEGO.

"Hum. Yes. Anyway, do you know of a kid named Markov Marini?"

"Yes. He didn't come to school today."

"That's because he's dead." I was surprised and slightly happy.

"What?"

"He was killed yesterday. Reports say that a giant creature ate him. By the way, have you seen a Mitchel?"

"No."

"He's also missing."

"At school today, two friends of Markov came in rambling about a dragon."

"Dragon?" She asked, taking notes.

"Yeah. Apparently, a kid became a dragon and ate Markov after he beat the poor boy up." She took notes on everything I was saying.

"Thank you for your time." I nodded and walked around the crime scene, into the woods. I love the woods. This wood was behind a park, near a graveyard. I kept thinking about today's classes until I was deep in the woods near a cave.
