I blinked and yawned softly. It was a moment of peace in my cozy little cave and I was enjoying it. Until...
"Lola! You're finally awake!" And--WHUMP.
Artemis, my incredibly annoying vampire friend, wakes me up every morning by jumping on my stomach and nibbling at my neck, begging for a suck. Come to think of it, he was doing it then.
"No way, Artie."
"Awh, please Lola? It won't hurt."
"Forget it, Artemis."
He pouted, nicked his wrist, and began to suck. "You're so mean, Lolie," he whimpered. "I'm going to run out of blood."
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever. I'm going to catch breakfast."
He looked up with his mouth bloodied. "Okay! Fly safe!"
I walked out of my cave, stretched, and began my transformation. My skin turned into golden scales, wings protruded from my back, my mouth filled with sharp fangs, and my red nails turned into sharp claws. I flapped my wings and flew.
Being a dragon...having the gift of flight...it's amazing. No drug can give you that kind of high.
I stopped at my favorite sheep pen, stole a sheep, and gobbled it up on my way home.
I transformed before I entered the cave because Artie thinks I'm scary as a dragon. What I saw inside my cave was really weird. A group of people were inside my cave, and Artie was talking to a black-haired, green-eyed guy.
"...The hell? Artie, who are these people?"
