Kate

"Oh Thor, what does he mean by hand signals?" screamed my thoughts. I looked down at my shoes nervously

" ohhhhh this is a mistake. What am I doing? I can't talk in front of anybody. let alone PASS A TEST" I clench my fists, I knew this was going to be rough but I had to trust my dragons. After all, that was how I passed the other test.

I tried to take a brave step. All eyes turned to me, I heard Garmel and Jack whisper and then laugh. I knew exactly what they were laughing about. My dragons. Stormslicer never completely recovered from whatever tourter my Grandmother did to him. So every little noise he would fly straight up or look at everything frantically. Every time I tried to calm him Jack would break a branch or yell making him jump again.

"Come on Kate, don't make a fool of yourself.  I need to calm him."  I tried to calm him once again. Garmel let out a Dragon Hunter call. That did it Stormslicer shot 10 feet in the air. He shot out spines and spun around.

"Oh thor, oh thor he is really scared that really set him off,"   I called Slicer in the most calming voice I had trying to hold back my sobs.

"Its ok Stormslicer, Its ok boy just calm down.  I am right here, see Sniper is here too." Finally, Slicer touched the ground. I heard Jack yet again start to yell. Before he could I touched Slicer's face. And spoke to him calmly and reassuringly.

"You're going to be ok.  See? I will protect you boy.  It's ok. I am here." I wrap him in a hug. He seems to have calmed down. Still jittery but able to cope. I give him a hand signal. I wanted to pass and then run and hide. On command, Sniper shot the nearest branch. Then I gave the same signal for Slicer and he shot it on the same spot. After a few minutes, I gave another signal. Stormslicer shot off like a rocket and shot up into the air and then came back down. I did the same for Sniper.

After a few more signals I was finally dismissed. Once free tears started streaming into my eyes, I ran as fast as I could, I ran past my house, past my Grandmothers house to a small creek. The creek was surrounded by glowing crystals and algae and was the prettiest sight you could imagine.

(flashback to 9 years ago)

"Why oh why can't I make friends. They all think I am weird because I stutter and that I am poor nobody wants to be my friends.  I would like some friends." I sobbed into my arms as I sat next to the creek. My mother approaches and gives me a hug

"Tough day at school?"

"I just want to be alone mom," I say sniffling

"Ok, I will leave you alone.  But first I am going to give you some advice." She said hugging me tighter

"I don't care about your grades. Or that you can't talk to people.  Or that people think we are poor.  What matters is what YOUR actions are.  If you are kind to people then they should be kind back.  And I will always love you."

I sniff"Thanks mom," I said leaning into her and kept crying

(Flashback ends)

I sob into Slicer. I am laying next to him. Sniper senses my sadness and curls next to me. I hug them both. I couple minutes go by when I hear footsteps.

"Are you Kate Olson? A young boy that had dark brown hair said you ran this way" The man asks. He is tall and muscular man and e has warm amber eyes and dark brown hair.

"Yes. and that's Aidan" I sniff. My dragons stand up, alert and ready to defend. In the man's eyes were hope and excitement

"Kate, I have been searching for you for many years.  I have finally found you." Tears were in his eyes "Kate,  I am your Grandfather."
