chapter one

I soar through the wind as my wings of gold glide, my snout pointing to the sun. I let out a roar as I see another behind me. A blue dragon with green strips flew behind me, I was the prey, and he was the hunter. A gush of water singed passed me as I turned around to face my opponent and roared fire builds inside me as I let out a fireball spiraling toward him. It hits his wing, and he starts to fall, "no, I don't want him to die" I shouted in my head as I fold my wings and raced toward him. The wind under my wings made my speed faster than he was falling I caught up to him and grabbed his wings with my talons. I slowly set him on the ground as his blue eyes watched me. Being so close to the ground I had to land, I turned to face and look at my friend. His body starts to change getting smaller and fewer scales as his snout became a face and his tail disappeared and pale skin started to show and brown hair grow on his head. He faced me as if he was waiting for something then he spoke "do you expect me to talk to you like this when I cannot hear your replies?
I rolled my golden eyes, and focused on being human, on my human face, my eyes, my hands, my feet, my skin, my hair, as I do my body slowly starts to change. I close my eyes as my scales turned to pale skin, gold and silver hair, and my tail disappeared and my claws turned to hands and feet, my eye turning into almost human-like as they glowed gold. When I opened my eyes I stood almost the same height as him, "leave me be Draconic," I spoke.
He grabs my wrist and pulls me to him "I will not let my future wife run out on me you are to come back to the village and face your consequences of your actions, so we can be married Quinine," he said.
I smack him as hard as I can, saying, "I will not have my wings cut Draconic." Then I close my eyes thinking dragon, dragon, dragon, and scales erupted over my body and wings exploded and I flap my golden wings as I rose from the ground. He started to change into his dragon as I turned and flew off knowing he was right behind me. Knowing I was faster I flew into the forest tries to hide my body as I flew, but a golden body is so hard to hide a water ball flings beside me as I know he can see me. I rose to the sky and folded my wings, so I would glide faster holding my breath I plunged into the ocean knowing he could follow me, but he couldn't hold his breath as long as I could. I swam into a cave deep in the ocean and hid as I sensed he didn't follow me, the thing about golden dragons was they had lungs and gills. As darkness fell I swam out into the open sensing he had given up waiting on me, I raise to the sky as I blast out of the water. Seeing lights I stop and landed, "humans kill" I remember my mom telling me. I knew none of my kind will come so close to humans, so I started to change into my human form careful to see if my dragon self had left any evidence behind that I was there, seeing none and my morph complete I walked toward the city lights. Sound surrounds me that I wasn't used to as fast metal things they call cars fly past me my body jumping as they do. Lights blare as I try to get used to the city, I hear the place is called New York City. In the village, we didn't worry about where we wear just as long as the humans didn't get too close. Realizing I had no money for trade I go into a pawnshop I see brick surrounding the shop I open the door and a pine tree scent hits my nose as I enter. I glide to the counter and wait to be seen as the human was not at the counter I look around seeing TVs, and stereos systems, gold jewelry, silver, piles of boxes of things I didn't know when I hear, "can I help you."
With a smile on my face, I gracefully turn around and see a young tall blond male human before me I could tell his eyes were brown, and he was checking my whole body out. I smile as I reach into my pocket and pull out one of my families' heirlooms as I set, it down, "yes, I would like to pawn this please." I watch his face as he ogles over my velvet voice then his look of surprise when he saw what I sat down he stuttered: um ok.k.k.k.ay, are y.y.you s.s.s.sure you want to se.se.se.sell this madam it's rare?" I nod to answer as I wait and watch him put it up, and open the register. Handing me $20,000 I turn around putting it in my purse. My golden eyes shines brightly during the day and if humans look too closely they can see my eyes glowing gold. But most humans don't stare into the eyes of our kind it intimidates them, and...
