• She ran, through the forest as fast as she could. The cougar jumped over her. Jane ran from behind a tree, it still followed. She didn’t see it, so she turned. The cougar was staring at her with a fierce look on its face. It bent down ready to attack. She closed her eyes and then heard the cougar scream of some sort. She turned around. She saw a dragon attacking it. When the huge cougar was dead, it turned and looked at me, took 2 steps, and flew high up in the air. I looked up, its huge wings made it cold. Suddenly I woke up from my dad saying, ”Happy 14 birthday!” I looked around and my brother was there too. He said” happy birthday J” I reply in a shaking voice, “ Thanks.” As soon as they left I got up and got ready, I got in my jeans and my shirt , I live in a small town, I didn’t go to school, I just helped my dad and brother in the village. I went into our family room, its very small, but the prettiest room I’ve seen. Then I walked to the dining room, we sat down and prayed before we ate. I said,” Dear Jesus, thank you for all the wonderful food you put on this table for us, and please protect us all. Amen!” Then we started to eat. As soon as we were done, I went to go take a walk in the forest, going to see if the dragon or lion was actually there. As soon as I got there I was close to turning back. But I turned to look for it when I was in the middle of the forest. Then, I heard a “thud” behind me. I turned slowly, then my mouth dropped dead open. A huge red dragon was right in front of me. Its scales shined and it made only the spot we were standing in, not even and inch away from me was bright, I closed my mouth and swallowed, taking small steps, for some very odd reason, I wasn’t afraid. So I got even closer. Then it stepped forward. As soon as It was close enough to pet, it put its head by me, I lifted my hand slowly, then petted it, it was so smooth, but then it said in my mind,” hello Jane, I’ve waited for you for many years.” I replied saying out loud,” How do you know me? Why aren’t you hurting me?” he answered,” I am your protector. You shall ride me and fight, you are brave. I would never hurt you. If you die, I shall die, but if I die, you will live. My name is FlamingRuby.
