Kate

I stepped in closer to Stomslicer and clutched the egg tighter. I felt the vibrations of the cliff dwelling as the hunters kept on hitting it. Sniper must have felt it too for he was shaking uncountably. I reached up and pet his small head.

"Its ok boy, I know, I know.  I will think of a way to get out of here." I said trying to stop my voice from shaking. More and more did the men hit the cliff. If I didn't figure out something quick then the cliff would collapse. And we would go down with it. Finally, an Idea came into my head.'

"STORMSLICER" I yelled up to the Nadder. He squawks and looks down into his wings.

"I NEED YOU TO TAKE OUT SOME HUNTERS"  I yell clutching the egg even tighter. "If there is any way this egg will survive.  Then I need to take it home. Or some secret hidden location."  Just as I finished this thought StormSlicer lifted into the sky and grabbed tow hunters that were trying to climb up the cliff. He threw them off. I signaled Stomslicer down.

" I need you to take this to Aiden's house. And fast.  The leader of the dragon hunters has no Idea where his house is, only mine." I explained to him hurriedly. Stormslicer stared back at me with worry in his yellow Nadder eyes.

"I know boy, I know you kinda made a promise to mom and dad that you would never EVER leave me, but this is important.  This dragon egg is super rare and its life matters more than mine.  Please, I know what you are thinking. "  His eyes seemed to gleam with a response. He pushed forward and nuzzled my body. I held his horn and hugged him back. It felt as if I was saying goodbye for the last time. I hugged him close and then let go. I lifted up the egg into his talons. He flew off and then out of sight. Tears started brimming my eyes.

"If I go down in battle today, at least I will do it with you," I said turning my eyes to Sniper. He had stopped shaking and had a prideful look in his face. It seemed as if Stormslicer had passed his responsibility of protecting me down to him. And he had accepted. I grabbed my longsword off of my back and sharpened it on a rock.

"OK Sniper, let's go" I jumped off of the cliffside and opened my wings. I flew over the hunters head and even knocking a few out.

"Great Thor, This is going to be a rough landing. brace for impact" I thought closing my eyes shut just as I skidded into the rocky dirt. Pain shot up and down my body. Somehow I still had the strength to get up. I grimaced as I hobbled up.

"Sniper" I wheezed. Sniper flapped over to me from a nearby branch. He looked worried as if Slicer was going to fire him for not catching my fall. He landed on my shoulder and licked the gushing wound on my face.

"I will be ok boy." I gasped scratching him on the chin. Just as I was doing so I heard Hunter shouts.

"SHE IS OVER HERE" They ran at me with drawn swords. I drew mine and felt pain shoot up my arm.

"3 to 2 this is hardly fair.  Then again nothing is fair in battle." I lunged at the men Knocking one down and then waiting for the other to get here. Sniper rocketed from my shoulder and attacked another hunter. He confused him and scratched him. Then something remarkable happened. Sniper let out a high pitched squeak, then a GAINT flock of Terrible Terror appeared on the battle scene. Lifting the hunters left and right and carrying them to unknow destinations. I was dumbstruck. Still wincing with pain I decided to help the fight and knock out some hunters. Finally it was one on one. Me and the flock of Terrors at Sniper's command and my Grandmother.

"WE meet agian" her voice said dripping like venom

"Well I knew you would be back."

"Oh come now." she said circling me, I started to circle to sword drawn

"Why do you want this egg?"

"Business.  Tell me where did you little dragon slave take it?"

"He is not a slave.  And I will never tell you till I am dead as your soul." I spat

"Ouch, That hurt a little." My grandmother said pretending to feel hurt and grabbing her chest as if she had been struck.

"I-I-I-I-I-I hope i-i-i-it did" I stuttered

"Gross you stutter, ugh your father did that for awhile." She looked as if lost in the memories and then her face shifted to a kind motherly look. But it quickly changed

"Enough chit-chat.  I guess I will have to kill you and will destroy the evidence"  SHe lunged forward and tried to stab me. I dodged it quickly and lunged back. I hit her shin guard and the bland bounced of aimlessly.

"Armor is quite good isn't it?" She said slicing the sword at my neck. Sniper was enraged now and shot a fireball at her sword nocking it out of her hand. It fell to the ground

"Armor may be key, but sword is better," I said stepping towards her slicing the air as she dodged them. I kept slicing harder and harder and she was having trouble dogging them. I sliced part of her armor off and cut a gash into her arm. She yelled in pain and fell to the floor.

"Drama, I didn't even cut you that hard.  OH well stay there." I walked away from her and tried to find my way home. My home was North so I walked that way. I felt dizzy but I kept walking. I finally saw the lights of my house and climbed up the ladder. Stormslicer was there. I ran up to him, ignoring the pain and grasping him in a big hug. I cried from pain into his scales while he raped his wings around me. I sat there for a while and then went to clean the blood off my body. I got most of it off but some wouldn't budge.

"I am going to get some questions about this tomorrow," I said walking into my room. Stormslicer was curled in front of the fire. I grabbed my blanket and slept next to stormslice's side. He opened his eye and layed his wing over me. Sniper crawled under my arms and fell asleep. I hugged sniper tight and fell into a deep dreamless sleep
