"I want t know the limits of your strength!" said Jacob, who still was amazed by the fact that I killed a bear with my bare hands. Myrthe said: "We'll have plenty of time when we're back home. But first we have to GET home without Vanjira getting noticed by other people." "What about camouflage!" said Leonard. "Can you do camouflage?" "What is camouflage?" Did I say. Leonard explained:"Changing your collors and stuff." I asked:"how is changing my collors gonna bring me home?" Jacob interrupted spontaneously:"Can you change your collors or not?!" I shaked my head. "Okay. I'm going to get the van." said Jacob as he ran off. Leonard was still stunned by what happened as he mumbled:"Kills a bear in hand to hand combat but is afraid of cats." After a while a big car came bouncing over the bumpy forestfloor. "GET IN THE BACK!" said Jacob, who brought the car. Myrthe opened the back and pushed me in. Thenshe stepped in on the side, along with Leonard. "We're in, GO!!" shouted Myrthe, as she saw other headlights coming between the trees in the distance. "Turn your lights of!" she said. Jacob turned of the lights. They drove out of the forest and stopped in front of Myrthes house. We stepped oit and ran into the house. The car turned on the lights and drove away. The broken transparent wall was replaced with a brownish panel. Probably Johns doing. As I entered the room' Sennah Immediately saw the clawmark and started to look for something. A transparant tube like object filled with some kind of thick fluid and a stick with hairs on one top. She started streaking the fluid on the clawmark. She said: "How did this happen? I almost would have thought, you fought a bear or something." Leonard said: "Actually, he killed the bear." "With his bare hands." said Myrthe. Sennah looked at me and said: "I start to doubt, it's dafe for me to sit here." John came in and loudly said: "Let's go to bed. It's 3:09 am. Sennah and Leonard can stay for tonight." Everyone agreed. I didn't know where to go, so I followed Leonard. John grabbed me by the arm and asked: "where do you think you're going?" he pointed towards the floor and said: "you're going to sleep on the carpet." I turned my back on him and laid down on the 'carpet'. John turned the lights off and we all went to sleep. The next morning, Myrthe watched the 'news'. "Vanjira, you're on the news. They got you a nice nickname. 'The Downtown Dragon'." There where stories about a 'dragon' in the middle of a small town. I asked: "What's a dragon?" She replied: "A dragon is a big, winged, fire-breathing lizard." I asked:"What's a lizard?" she said: "A lizard is a scaled animal with a tail, that lays eggs and depends on the temperature." "Do they live here too?!" I asked. "Yeah." said John "Two blocks away from here." "He's talking about my parents." said Myrthe. I started to freak out and backed off "Y-your parents are Dragons?!", I asked. "No, of course not! John just doesn't like them. There is no such thing as a dragon. They are made up animals." said Myrthe. Leonard said: "Except for komodo dragons. They exist." "Komodo dragons aren't dragons." said Myrthe. "Looks like we got NASA's attention." said Jacob, who just walked in. "Vans, men in black, drones, they are everywhere." at that moment, someone knocked on the house entrance. "Hide!" said Myrthe. I looked around, grabbed on to the ceiling and crawled against it. "So cool." said Jacob. Myrthe opened the entrance, and two Azureans in black suits and dark transparant panels covering their eyes, stood in front of her. "Ma'am, can we come in?" said one of the Azureans. "Yeah, whatever." said Myrthe. One of the Azureans started looking around and started inspecting Jacob, while the other one started to open other entraces in the house. John became frustrated and asked:"What the hell are you doing?" the Azurean looked John in the eyes and said: "A unidentified, 2 and a half meters long, yellowish, four armed, reptilian creature was spotted in your neighbourhood last night. We followed the trail into the forest, where it got picked up by a van, right next to the fresh corpse of a grizzly bear. We saw that your window was barricaded, so we decided to come over. Now if you don't mind, could you tell me everything you know?" the other Azurean said: "Do you know if we are dealing with a shapeshifter? This guy is abnormally tall." Jacob started to sweat and said: "I don't know what you're talking about." The Azureans grabbed him by the arms and said: "You're coming with us." and as they turned around they got a glimpse of the ceiling and me! They both looked up and time stood still for a few seconds. Both of the Azureans quickly grabbed something out of their clothing and pointed it at me. I thought back to what happened to Sia and felt it meant trouble. I quickly jumped of the ceiling and loud bangs were heard! Everywhere in the ceiling appeared holes. Everywhere where the objects where pointing appeared holes. I kept jumping and running around, hoping to avoid whatever made the holes. At one moment I felt a stinging pain in my arm. I quickly jumped off the wall and landed on my hands and feeth. I jumped towards one of the Azureans and bashed him into the transparent wall. With my tail I swiped against the floor to let the other one trip. Out of the back entrance, Max came rushing in, loudly growling ane bit down in the arm of the Azurean. The Azurean screamed in pain, as Max pulled on the arm. I grabbed the other Azurean by the head, but it didn't move anymore. The other Azurean on the other hand, grabbed a hold on his weapon and pointed it at Max. Before he could do anything I bashed the head of the other Azurean against his head and got hit by the weapon. I fell on the ground and Max hid behind me. The Azurean stood up and pointed its weapon at me. He said: "This will be the end of 'the DownTown Dragon and its little dog friend. Prepare to say goodbye." he was about to use the weapon when John suddenly appeared behind him, stabbing a sharp tool into the Azureans neck. The Azurean fell on the ground and John said: "you are the only one, we'll say goodbye to today. Thanks for protecting Max, Vanjira." Everyone was shocked by what happened, but somehow, Myrthe stayed focussed. She said: "Vanjira! Your family is taken by NASA right?" I asked: "What is naza?" Myrthe replied:"Your family is taken by people in weird white suits, Right?" I said:"Aliens in weird white suits." "Good enough." she said, "Sennah, treat Vanjira's wound; Leonard, get their identification and hack into their system to alter their names in the database. Put down John and my name instead. Oh, and make us some ID's too." "Alrighty" said Leonard, and started doing things on a big flat device. "We are going to get your family back." said Myrthe.
