Family business
350 Words
They make it to Jamie’s house without much trouble. Except, they did notice the exits to the town are being blocked off. They go into her backwoods mansion. Micheal looks around commenting “I always forget how big your house is. What is it your family does again?”
She shrugs “They’re trade experts, I think? Anyways the library is this way.” They walk into the library and Michael asks, “How are we going to find the one we need in this massive room?” Jamie walks over to an open book on a table “It’s the big one.” She opens it and looks at Micheal “Take your shirt off.” Michael takes it off noticing that whatever has him changing, has changed his whole body. He now has abs and pecks and is skin is tuff and scaly. While he is taking in how he looks, Jamie is flipping through the book.
“Aha, I found it. Look here, your skin looks like dragon skin. But you don’t have any other properties, do you?” He looks at himself “I have no f*****g clue.” She closes the book “Well do you want to find out?” Micheal agrees “Yeah, but how?”
She grabs his hand and starts to lead him to the back door. He pulls back in shock “Ok, you are way too excited about this. What do you know?” She exhales exasperatedly “You going to get back on this again, aren’t you? About how my family kills magical creatures. Aren’t you?”
Michael jesters to himself angrily “I’m red and covered in scales. I’m trying not to freak out.” She runs her fingers through her hair and tells him “Come with me.” Michael puts his shirt back on and walks with her. She leads him to a room down a small hallway covered with her grandparent’s portraits.
While he’s looking around in awe, he bumps into Jamie. She turns to him “Please don’t freak out.” She then opens the door to reveal a trophy room. There are armor and swords, bones, scales, and an entire skeleton of a dragon on the ceiling.
