Ice Dragon (part one)


"So, what that I'm different from all the other. I'm a dragon, just like them. I should be in there with them!" I yell at my mom and the headmaster.

"Skylar, you are not like the rest of them. You are indeed a dragon, but you are the only winter Dragon." The headmaster says. "You don't breathe fire. You breathe ice. You are the only one that can do that. You can't be taking classes with your twin brother."

"We were born at the same time and he can breathe fire. Why can't i?" I fall into the chair. "I shouldn't be any different from them."

"We know, Hell if I could, I would keep you with me."

"Wait, what do you mean if you could keep me with you?" I look between my mom and the headmaster. "You're sending me away?" I should've seen this coming. "Where are you sending me?" I snap.

"We are sending you to the ice valley. You can't live here and be expect to thrive."

"I've been here for sixteen years and nothing bad happened."

"Skylar calm down."

"Don't tell me to calm down. You want to send me away." I snap at my mother. "I want to talk to my dad!" I shout. I jump up, heading towards the door, "I done with this." Slamming the door, I see Xavier sitting next to the door. "How much did you hear?"

He laughs, "Everyone heard your roar of anger." He looks at the ground, "Is it true your leaving?"

"I don't want to." He gets up and wraps his warm body to mine. "I'm scared, Xavier. Why am I so different from you?"

"I don't know, but it is what it is." He pulls away. "I love you, sis. I'll talk to them. Head home, we'll be there soon after." He walks into the office before I could even answer him. I turn and see Sarah standing in the doorway. I shake my head and walk past her. 

"Skylar, you know that you can't stay somewhere your not wanted," Sarah says, pushing my shoulder. I speed up and run all the way home. Once I was home, I felt the tears that I worked so hard to stop the slide down my face. My dad's sitting at the kitchen table when I walk into the kitchen. 

"You knew what they were going to talk about. Didn't you?" He slowly looks up from the paper. His eyes are soft and saddened. 

"I'm not on the same page as your mother and headmaster." He sighs, "But it is what needs to happen." He set the paper down. "You what to know something?" He asks, gesturing for me to sit at the table with him. 
"Yes?" I question slowly sitting down.
"When we found out that you breathe ice, Your mother and I went through every scroll and book to find out why you were so different." He says with a faraway look in his eyes. "We spent week after week reading things. Not knowing how to help our little girl is the worst thing." The tears start to show. "My little girl who couldn't go outside on the hot days because she would overheat and pass out. Who would smile when she woke up and try to go outside to play with everyone else." By now, the tears are rolling down both of our faces. "I love you, but I can't keep you here knowing that it could kill you the next time out go out into the heat. Your mother and headmaster found a dragon out in the snow lands, he is young like yourself, but his mother knows more of how an ice dragon is to live." The door opens and slams shut. They are home.

"When am I leaving?" I say as mom and Xavier walking into the kitchen. He hung his head. "Answer me." I roar
