Sara's P.O.V

Taking a deep breath as I reached the front door I told Revlon to mould back into my skin and covered my arms with my sleeves. It will be best to wait a while before telling mum because I know she will take this hard. Opening the door I walked through entranceway past the lounge room where West was playing video games and into the kitchen where I could hear mum cooking dinner.

" Hey mum" I greeted her

" Sara your home" She said coming over to give me a hug " How was your weekend?" she said pulling away

" It was good we made a couple of new friends" I said watching her go back to the stove

" Really, well you'll have to invite them over some time so I can meet them" She said as she continued cooking

" Yeah that might be a problem" I said sitting down on a stool

" Why?" She said turning around to look at me

" They sorta don't live around here" I said

" Oh, well how did you meet then?" She asked as turned back around and it was good that she did otherwise she would have seen the look of panic on my face

" They were visiting from the village over" I said quickly coming up with a lie

" Okay you'll just have to invite them over when they visit next" She said believing me

" Will do, have you seen dad?" I asked

" He should be in his study and while you're there let him know dinner will be ready in ten minutes" She answered

" Okay I can do that" I said jumping off the stool and heading towards his study

Knocking before entering I found him working through some paperwork. I should just rip the bandaid off and tell him about Revlon but seeing him made my resolve falter.

" Sara your finally home" He said looking up and coming over to give me a hug

" Hi dad" I said smiling into the hug

" How was your weekend" He asked backing out of the hug

" It was amazing but there is something I have to tell you" I said getting nervous

" Did you hurt yourself or one of your friends?" He said picking up on my nerves and getting concerned

" No, nothing like that..." I said trailing off " I don't know how to tell you so I'm just going to show you" I said as I lifted my sleeve to reveal Revlon who unmoulded himself and sat on my shoulder

" I never expected this from you" He said in a whisper with a look of shock on his face

" What? to be a rider?" I questioned starting to get really nervous

" Yes, this not what your mother wanted for you" He said

" I know but what about you?" I asked still nervous

" Well I'm surprised that's for sure but very proud that my daughter is strong enough to be a rider" He said looking directly into my eyes

" You don't know how much that means to me" I said going over to hug him

" Wait a second this means you went to the Middle Mountains" He said breaking the hug

" Yes but I went with the twins" I said hoping that will lessen the blow

" Okay, how many times have you done this?" He questioned

" Every month for the last two years?" I said questionably

" Okay I will deal with later let's look at him" He said gesturing to put Revlon on the desk

" What's his name?" he asked once put him down

" Revlon" I answered as he started touching and examining Revlon all over

" Two completely different colours of scales is going to be powerful and is going to grow quite big" Dad said out loud

" Why do you say that?" I questioned

" Dragons with two or more different coloured scales are always more powerful than a dragon who only has one colour and by seeing how long the wingspan reaches is how you tell how big a dragon will be fully grown" he said answering my questions

" I'm more powerful than he will ever know" Revlon said in my head which made me giggle knowing how true it was

" Okay that's good to know dad but I still need to tell mum about him" I said nervously

" Do you want me there when you tell her" he questioned picking up my nervousness

" I think it will be better if I do it myself and you talk to her after as we both know that she going to take this hard, deal?" I said questionably

" Okay deal and speaking of your mother do you know when dinner will be ready?" he asked

"Oh yeah it should be ready now" I said remembering what mum told me " and dad I'm going to tell her tomorrow because I'm quite tired from my trip and I won't be able to handle her reaction tonight"

" Okay, let's go and eat" He said as I picked up Revlon and placed him on my shoulder where he moulded back into my arm and I pulled down my sleeves as we made our way to the dining room

Dinner went by without a hitch and by the time I had a shower and got into bed I was beat. Well, that was until West came barging into my room and saw Revlon on my bed.

" Hey Sara can I borrow your..." he said trailing off once he saw Revlon

" Borrow my what?" I said sleepily not even realising what he was trailing off about

" Why is there a dragon on your bed?" he questioned and woke me right up

" Oh, this is Revlon my dragon" I said before adding " You can not say a single word to mum about him though" quickly

" Alright I won't" he said coming closer " I never thought you would be a rider though"

" Well I am is that a problem?" I questioned

" No not at all it's just really surprising" he answered

" Okay, what did you want to borrow?" I questioned

" Right, can I borrow your phone charger?" He asked

" Yes, it's over there take it and get out we will talk about Revlon tomorrow" I said pointing to the door

" Okay thanks sis, I can see your about to fall asleep, goodnight" He said as he left

" Goodnight" I said very sleepily

" Goodnight Sara" I heard Revlon say before I was out like a light
