Kate: Something different

I gasped,

"its the nurse! Wait why is she here" I prodded as my heart beat wildly

"Hi, Kate," She said in a soft yet loving voice, she came over to where I was sitting and sat down.

"H-hi, Miss?" I asked

"I am Martha, and I know you don't know this but I used to babysit you when you were just a wee babe.  I have seen you grow Kate, to be a strong and independent woman.  Strong enough to care for your self.  You are very brave and I do think you are an Olson, not at all like a "Nothing Child" Martha said softly touching my shoulder and then retracting it a bit.  Tears flooded my vision, my lip quivered and I spoke

"I am Martha, I am a nothing child and there is nothing I can do to change that about me.  Besides, there is nothing I can do to get my brother back." I whimpered turning away, Martha scoffed

"Kate! I can't believe you'd say that. You saved your dragon from poachers, you saved a species that might have gone extinct.  You nearly died fighting your grandfather and your grandmother, but look here you are almost completely healed.  You set up such a trustworthy bond between you and your dragon that he is always, and I mean ALWAYS protecting you from harm's way.  How can you call yourself a nothing child."

"Its because I am Martha.  I failed to save my brother, I failed to save my dragons.  I failed to protect my dragon from the Gorcutter, I told him he wasn't the failure.  Inside I am the failure!" I blurted out. Then there was silence between us, nothing but the sound of the water moving Martha broke the silence

"You can't save everybody, Kate, that is the hardest concept to learn, but you can't. I am sorry, but now knowing your feelings I need to take you somewere, but you have to promise not to tell anybody.  Promise?" I sighed but nodded my head

"Promise,"  Martha smiled and lead me deeper into the hidden world. We trudged deeper climbing hills and just plains of rock. The crystals really were a sight to see. Finally, after about 30 minutes of traveling, we made it to a small clearing. In that small clearing were multiple huts and a giant training arena. Somebody was in the arena, as we drew closer my breath stopped, a flashback flooded in

(FlashBack)

"Ka! Ka! Kaaaaaaaa!" said toddler Andrew as he stomped across the floor, he couldn't say kate so he called me Ka.

"What is it Drew, Drew.?" I asked looking up from my dragon manual

"Dwagon, dwagon fly.  Up Up up up to sky and the Shwodsnf lwand on da gowand." Andrew said making whooshing noises as he went along.

"OK, ok ok. Drwagon fly, Dwargon fly" I said grabbing onto his little arms and swinging him up and down UP and down around the room as he squealed in delight.

(FlashBack ends)

"Drew, Drew?" I whispered softly, the young boy, about 12 now, was fighting in the arena. He was lean and strong. He held a heavy battle ax as he made his way swinging at the enemies, then he climbed on to a Triple Stryke let out a battle cry and charged at other opponents. Destroying them all.

"Oh what have they done to you Drew? What happened to my brother?" I thought as my face was knit in worry. Martha broke my thoughts

"C'mon Kate, I have to introduce you to someone." We headed towards a smaller hut near the arena. Martha knocked and I heard a faint "Come in"   Martha nodded to me and we walked inside. I grimaced at the sight

"Ah, Hello nothing child." The old man rasped, sneering

"Old man," I said bowing, paying my respects towards the elders.

"I have called you here, because you have to agree on some papers for your young brother Andrew.  Since you are his closets relative you must agree and sign papers giving all rights to me.  So I can make your brother." The old man coughed and regained his position.

"And why would I do that? Besides, how do you even have my brother?" I asked threateningly

"Oh, we stole him." the old man said in a dead voice. At these words, I slammed my fist onto the table ignoring all pain.

"YOU STOLE HIM!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH PAIN YOU PUT ONTO MY MOTHER AND FATHER!! YOU DESTROYED MY FAMILY!" I yelled not caring who heard me

"Yes, well I don't really care since they are gone now.  But anyway sign the papers." I looked down at the papers and read

Andrew Olson

In training to be leader of Olson house

Betrothed to Siv Lander

Dragon chose: Triple stryke

"Why would I sign the papers? You planned out the life my brother probably doesn't even want! He is my brother I would never sign him up for this kinda stuff.  Did he even want a Triple Stryke? You don't care about him you just care about our house." With that, I tore the papers in half

"I am not sighing anything and I hope that when you do die nobody will remember you," I said savagely. I walked out of the room, slammed the door and headed home.

Once at the feet of the Clubhouse StormSlicer spotted me and flew down. He licked my face and let me climb onto him. I cried silently, I new I had no more family that was good. I was the only True Olson left.
