Attackers

Chapter 1

My name is Tiger, I'm the coolest Bearded Dragon in all of history. I hardly ever get to go outside, but the Scaleless's hatchlings take me out sometimes. The Scaleless are weird mostly because they walk on two legs, and they eat their food dead and squished up rather than alive. I hate living as a prisoner, and that cat can get on my nerves sometimes. I've always wondered what living in a pack would be like, but I guess I'll find out sooner or later.

Tiger got up to get some light, and his sister was still asleep. He wondered about Crystal sometimes, did his sister ever think about pack life like he did? He had no time to think right now, right now he had to get the Scaleless's attention so he could be fed. He decided he would worry about food after his sister got up. All of a sudden, the ugly hatchlings came and grabbed him uncomfortably to take him out. Then they put this weird thing around his back, arms, and shoulders. There was a long string attached to the vest of some sort. They took him out into the sun, then the smallest hatchling let him and his sister off the vests. The older one started yelling, while he and his sister ran off through a hole in the wooden barrier along the yard. His silver-grey scales felt hot in the the sun, so he ran to a nearby tree. He then realized that the Scaleless didn't have trees in their yard. He turned around to a giant forest of trees, vines, and all sorts of plants. His sister's lighter grey scales gleamed in the sun. After a bit of staring and silence, Tiger made an announcement, "We have to go in. If we don't, then we'll be trapped in the hot sun forever."
He and his sister slowly moved closer to the forest. It was dark with patches of sunlight throughout the grassy floor. All of a sudden, something moved. It made a sound that would scare off any scaredy dragon. It was coming closer to Tiger and Crystal. Then a face poked out of the darkness, "Heya there guys," his voice sounded excited and bright. It was a brown dragon with a scar along the scales of his left shoulder, his green eyes glowed in the sun. "Who are you?" Tiger called back, his voice shaking. "The name's Fang, you?" he said with no hesitation. "Tiger, this is my sister, Crystal," he replied trying to sound brave, and confronting. Fang flicked his tail the opposite direction, signaling them to follow him. He lead them though trees and rocks, coming to a halt, they sat near an entrance. They nodded to each other, Tiger and Crystal went through the pathway. Tiger's eyes were huge, he was amazed at first sight.
