REVAMPING MCTOPIA STORY

[tobiii1004]

RUN.

I bounded up the steps. Wow, I had no idea bunnies could run so quickly...

My ears twitched. Listening. Well, I heard a lot. I heard Avi crying. Probably because it looked like her poor dragon was put through a paper shredder. Ew. Oh, well I should probably comfort her. But not now.

What else did I hear? I pointed my ears out, refining the noises I heard. Ahri...crying? Hmm...I'd have to check up on her later...

What was that! I heard her. Where did it come from?! Silently, I tiptoed across the floorboards to listen closer...I heard...soft breathing. Not hitched and sickeningly sweet like Ahri's. Not quick and light like Avi's. It was...soft. And...and...it was...

Pure.

THAT'S IT. I ran as fast as I could towards the noise. Flinging open James's door, there she was, calmly sleeping. So little and pretty, but such a powerful lie inside her imagination. Throwing my hands on her, I jostled her awake. She opened her eyes and glared at me.

"Aw c'mon. I was having a good dream."

"Sorry. But no time for that! Is it true you think I am a vampire!"

She nodded.

"And how many people did you tell!"

"James."

I sighed in relief.

"So, no one else thinks I'm a vampire?"

"I don't think so."

"Okay good...because I'll have you know I am NOT a vampire."

Not even close.

"Really?"

I'm something much worse.

"Of course I'm not a vampire. My transformations around dragons aren't of that nature."

I'm your worst nightmare.

Smiling happily, I sighed. "Glad we cleared that up. Sorry for waking you. Go back to bed."

But, it DID leave to wonder...wouldn't the others find out who I was, really?

I never told them my third and fourth form.

My first one's a bunny.

My second one's a girl.

And my third and fourth...well it began to be obvious. I just hoped no one was intelligent enough to notice...

Whenever anyone encountered Talon, it was obvious that I was slightly different afterwards.

After all, that's why I've been wearing long sleeves lately.

Talon possessed a dragon. James sliced its right shoulder with his cat claws.

So...I'm hoping no one noticed the deep red claw-scars I have on my right shoulder.
