The One That Got Away [Book 2 of The Boy Next Door]

Chapter 8 - More Night, Less Fury

I looked at Monica with disbelief.

"Well did you train it? Is he with you?" I asked.

Monica smiled. She placed her fingers in her mouth and whistled. Toothless jumped all of a sudden, and he ran and hid behind me.

Monica turned around and a dragon landed in front of her. She held her hand out and the dragon placed his snout in her palm.

"Another Night Fury?! How did you find him?" I asked.

Monica lowered her arm and turned to me, petting her Fury.

"You mean her? Oh, I found her on Dragon Island and she brought me here. I didn't attack her, I found her on the island and trained her. Then she kidnapped me and took me here, where I befriended her." Monica said as she scratched her dragon's chin.

"What's her name?" I asked, putting my hand out in front of the dragon. She hesitated, but soon after, she pressed her snout into my palm. I smiled.

Monica smiled. "Her name's Spitfire."
