Chapter 12
When the dragon reached the village he scanned it and then remembered what the crystal ball had said and headed towards the hospital. He clung onto the roof of the hospital and with great force, tugged it off of the frame of the hospital, he saw a young black haired girl; Cathy, being fed medicine and having injections to help her breathing rate. The dragon snapped up the sleeping child and flew away as Cathy awoke. She was shocked and tried to cry, which immediately affected her breathing and made her loose consciousness. When the dragon finally reached his cave he cast a spell to send images which he created in the crystal ball into Maya’s mind. As this was going on Lottie returned with a lot of heeling herbs and some fresh water from a near by spout.
After Maya’s wounds had been cleaned they rested for the night as Maya could still not move. The next day Lottie treated her wounds again and then unpacked some of their food supplies; dried apricots, raisins, bread and some wild beans from the secret grotto. After she created a pile of raisins and a pile of wild beans, then she tore the crust of the bred and set that down on one of Maya’s plates. As Maya’s wounds healed throughout the day while Lottie ran around their makeshift camp building a camp fire, gathering fresh water and collecting firewood. At noon Maya finally managed to muster up the strength to sit up to eat some fruit. It was at that time that the dragons spell kicked in.
Chapter 13 (The Beginning)
A shudder was sent down her spine as she saw the red, scaly dragon with the blindingly bright eyes staring straight at her. At the cave the dragon activated a new element of the spell; he was now in front of the crystal ball clutching Cathy, coiling his rough tail around her small, delicate body.
