Clara and The Egg.

Clara's mother went over to her and kneeled down."What did you do Clara ?" Her mother asked as Clara looked at her and titled her head." I... I did nothing, just .. well touched it gently and talked to it a little...was that a bad thing mom?" Clara asked as she started to get a bit teary-eyed as her mom shook her head and wiped her tears.

"No no sweet heart it's ok, well we have been wanting it hatch for so long that this is really just a miracle." Clara's mom said as she kissed her forehead." Thank you for the help my sweet Clara."Her mom said as Clara smiled and looked back to the egg which was not shaking and cracking more until the egg shattered appart and what was left was a small dark blue dragon. Just a hatchling,but a dragon none the less.

Clara and the others stood in awe as they looked at the little dragon as it tried to move around,but it was clear that it was much to weak as it kept falling over onto its side its small wings and long tail weakly moved. One of her mother's co workers started to move over to the dragon as they had a blanket in hand as he was just trying to get the dragon and wrap him in it, but when the worker was about 3 feet from him the dragon blew fire at him, which scared the shit out of him making him fall back." I'm sorry ,but I'm not about to get burned alive." The man said to Clara's mom. Her mom was already starting to look frustrated as Clara had an idea.

She pulled on her moms shit to get her attention as her mom looked toward her."Mom ,let me do it. It may know my voice since well... it clearly heard it to wake up .Please let me I will be careful either way I'm not scared of it." Clara said with determination in her eyes, her mom could see it as she sighed ." Alright sweetie but make sure you can get to safety if you need it."Her mom said as she nodded her head .

Clara moved from her moms arms as she started to slowly walk toward the dragon, it again breathed fire, but she was not close enough for it to do anything. " It is ok, don't worry, no one will hurt you little guy." She said as she took another fee steps closer as it backed up and breathed fire again as she could feel the heat from it ,but did not back off.

" Shh, stop that. It's going to be ok." She said as she got close enough to touch him as she just sat down next to him and hummed a soft tune as the dragon looked at her and moved its head to her tune as the dragon slowly fell asleep laying on the ground now.

Clara's mother watched as she smiled at her tossing her the blanket as Clara covered the dragon with it as it relaxed a little.Clara picked it up and carried it over to her mom." See mom! I did it , can I keep him?" She asked her mom as she laughed a bit and rubbed her head."You know what fine you can, but he stays here and you will be working with him everyday. There will be a lot of work that will have to be done with him maybe even training if it has to come down to it , don't want any accents to happen and that will be put on you little miss Clara , think you can handle it?"Her mom asked trying to overwhelme her as she smiled.

" Yes mom I do believe I can handle everything for this little guy only I ask for is stuff I think k I will need , but me and you can talk about that as this goes "Clara said as she smiled and her mom kissed her cheek." That's my girl I knew you love a challenge " Her mom said as Clara giggled holding the dragon wrapped in a blanket in her arms.

Clara left the room with her mom as they brought them selfs and the dragon down the hall to a new room that was more secure then the last. Clara set the dragon on a large heating pad that had been set up before hand as she smiled at the dragon. Clara's mom touched her shoulder as she smiled. " Well my sweet Clara you manged to do something very wonderful and even more so helpful to the company. Thank you." Her mom said as she kissed her cheek once more. She then pulled put a small gold keycard and placed it in Clara's hands closing them over top of it.

"Clara, this keycard is only for this room. Your going to be the only one aloud in here.So make sure not to lose it ok?"Clara's mom said as Clara's eyes filled with joy and nodded hugging her mother." Yes mother, I won't lose it and I will take extra good care of the dragon!"Clara said as she hugged her mom tighter and then let go to look at the dragon more as she gently touched it's scaly head as it felt so odd, but also so very warm." I can't wait to do more with this little guy "Clara said as she got up and left the room with her mom to go about the rest of the business that needed to be done for today.

By the end of the day Clara came back to the dragons room to see it was awake now and looking around as he looked sad and confused as its soft cries could be heard there the glass window. Clara frowned as she opened the door and shut it behind her as she saw the dragon as its cries were a bit loader now inside the room as she slowly approached him."Shh quite down little guy, it is ok I'm here."She said as the dragon looked stopped crying and tried to get untangle from the blankets as it ended up falling off the heating pad as Clara rushed over and held him as he cried more.

Clara held the dragon close to her as she tried to clam him down ." Shh shh it's ok I'm here. I'm not going away where ok." She said as the dragon flaied a bit in her grasp as his sharp claws scratched her multiple times making her bleed a bit as she just kept trying to calm him down." Stop it's ok I am here ok." She said as she bit her lip as the cuts were a bit painful as the dragons head looked at her face and then the scratches he had made on her he stopped moving around as much as to not scratch her any more as his crying slowly came to a stop.

Clara breathed a sigh of relief as she looked down at the little dragon in her arms as his dark blue scales glistened in the light of the roomas she smiled and kissed his head as he wiggled a bit. She giggled as she petted his head as his eyes closed as he sighed himself as it was clear he was relaxing more with her. Her mom was right though this was going to take some work and not a little bit of it. She though as she winced in pain from the multiple scratches she had not gotten this was going to be a long experience for them both as she relaxed holding the dragon close ,but she was going to enjoy every bit of this.
