The Story of the Dragon Keeper

My dragons- they're all I have. I feel a sort of connection between me and them, they make me feel not so.... alone. My mother died giving birth to me, so it's just Dad and I. He has a right to be the way he is, drunk and abusive, I mean how would you feel if you lived with the reminder of the thing that killed the only woman you love? Yeah, you wouldn't be so happy and end up drinking yourself to oblivion. So, I hide out in the stables very often if I'm not at school. I'm 17 now, so I'm starting to count down the days where I can move the dragons and I far away. All I can do is hide, hide with my dragons until August 30th, my 18th birthday and the day I get my full powers.
