I "awoke" under the bridge. Still on the run, still unchanged. "What the heck was that?" I thought. "Maybe I should start writing if I can dream up something like that." In fact I was completely writing it off as a dream which technically it was. "That's what it was just a dream... though being chased by cops wasn't... neither was punching Detective Terrior. I wonder if I'll ever find out what his "evidence" was." I thought to myself. You're probably thinking I'm insane because I talk to myself. I would think someone else is insane if they did, but it's not like I have anyone to talk to.
I got and started to walk figuring maybe I could find food. You'd be surprised at how running makes you hungry... oh wait... never mind. As I wander aimlessly, it's not like I could go back to the orphanage, I came across a window full of T.V.s wayyyyy to expensive to buy. I noticed the newscast that was playing. The oh so cheerful reporter said
"We're coming to you live where this man in a trench coat has taken a young girl hostage. The man has been identified as Detective Jack Terrior who says he won't let the girl until he finds August Summers. The police have the situation well in hand. Well on the lighter side watch this dog skateboard!!!" I stumbled back in shock. A third because of Jack Terrior the detective. A third because they gave a skateboarding dog more air time, and a third because that girl was my sister. June Summers. My sister they couldn't find. Then out of nowhere I heard a voice in my head.
"August to save your sister you must accept the powers."
"You again? I thought you were a dream! What's your name anyway. My mom said never to accept gifts from strangers... even when they are voices in my head..."
"August! Focus! My name is Long. I am the sorcerer in your dream. Now do you accept these powers and the responsibilities that go with it."
"What choice do I have?"
"Good now hold still the pain will be brief."
"Pain! You didn't say anything about pa..." Pain then exploded through my body and everything went dark.
I woke up in a alley way. Mysteriously moved there by something. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, then I noticed my hands were red, and covered with scales. Let's just say I handled it maturely. O.K. I screamed.
"August! What is wrong?"
"I don't know I have scales! What do you think is wrong?! You said powers not mutation!"
"Of course you have scales. You're a dragon."
"No I'm not."
"What?"
"I still have two legs and I'm the same height, waittt you were going to turn me into a dragon?!"
"Of course. What better to find dragons then another dragon? Now let's see what went wrong." Long started to hum. Which was getting annoying since it was in my head.
"Ah here's the problem. Remember when you were pulled out of the energy at the Great Wall? Well when that happened you only adsorbed half of the power. So when I triggered the transformation you became half dragon half human. You gained the dragons tail, wings, snout, and fire, but you kept your own body shape and mind. Wow a hybrid."
"Well it'll have to do." Then I looked at my wings, jumped up and started to fly toward the Golden Gate Bridge. Where my sister and Detective Terrior were.
