Dragon(1/2)

location, small-town California

In the skies of the small town, a huge lizard was flying through the skies against all the laws of physics. Flying such a large body should be impossible without an engine.

The screams were the most evident things in the city. People screamed in desperation watching the dragonfly unleash an ominous blue fire that turned everything it touched to ash. Before long, most houses were on fire with all appliances melted.

The security cameras that they had in some of the most luxurious homes were burned and their files were all destroyed leaving it impossible for all people who come later to see what happened.

Daniel Elkins was lying on the floor under a table whimpering. His body was shaking and he was in the fetal position whispering some things

"Impossible, they shouldn't exist, dragons shouldn't exist!" Elkins whimpered "They are myths"

He was no longer able to fight, his mind was destroyed. he was all shit and pissed he couldn't even move because of the paralysis of fear

Elkins wasn't to blame. it wasn't every day you came across a mystical creature that was at the top of the chain even for monsters and even a more mystical creature capable of completely ignoring the power of a weapon that could destroy any creature

Having the colt always gave him the confidence to be invincible against monsters. Even in a situation where the monsters outnumbered him or were much more powerful than him. Elkins had the confidence to even play around in battles extending fights against middling monsters that were only slightly stronger and faster than humans.

because having the colt gave Elkins the advantage of being the predator, he was invincible and couldn't be defeated if he kept an eye on monsters as with a single wingman, he could defeat any monster. But today, he was no longer the predator.

Today, he was the prey that lost its horns and was left defenceless against the great lion that was the dragon that soared in the sky majestically. Elkins could only stare and bemoan his luck at meeting a monster he had no chance of winning.

Hope opened her eyes scared-looking around confused. She was going to defeat the dragon the moment everything went out.

"Oh my god, you're alive," The waitress said shocked.

Taking a few steps back, she brought her eyes to Hope's forehead that was no longer bleeding.

"You are one of them, a monster!" The waitress said scared

Running away was the wisest choice to make and without thinking twice, she prepared to run, but before she could run, a hand caught her arm.

"No, go, you're going to die" Hope whispered

The waitress tried to let go of Hope's arms with a lot of fear and despair, but Hope's grip was too strong for her to get free.

"Let me go" The waitress begged

"No! If you run away the dragon will kill you!" Hope responded with a growl

"You are not going?" the waitress whimpered

Hope sighed trying to move, but her body barely responded to her will, all she could do was move her arm and her body was in disarray.

Something was preventing Hope from moving as if she had a paralysing poison in her body, but at the same time, she didn't know when she was poisoned. Hope can only hope the poison passes soon and she can move again.

"No, I'm not like the dragon, I am… A vampire, yes, I am a vampire" Hope said taking a deep breath with a thoughtful look "Have you read or heard the legends of vampires"

She chose the vampire card over the werewolf and witch. as she knew that vampires were more romanticized by pop culture. largely thanks to the very vampires who to feed their egos made stories about themselves in many places and cultures.

They humanized their legends by becoming closer to humans to the point of having the ability to coexist with humans in legends. Hope felt a pang in her stomach. it was all a plan for when the supernatural was discovered. Vampires will have a place in society alongside humans

While witches and werewolves also thanks to vampires, they won't be so lucky because of the bad reputation they have of being vicious monsters and destructive beasts.

The waitress stopped, looking up at Hope in surprise. She reads the legends of vampires and something flashed in her mind.

"Were you ever human?" the waitress whispered

"Yes, I had family and friends, before I was turned! I know what it's like to be powerless" Hope began to speak with emotion "so I'll help you, I won't let a female companion be killed by a monster, just I need your help"

"What help," The waitress asked worriedly

"Your blood, I can't move now, I need blood"

"Do you promise you'll save me?" The waitress asked, "I have a son if I give you blood will you save him?"

"Yea!"

"Okay, drink"

"Sorry I can't do this alone, I'm paralysed" Hope replied in a defeated whisper "You need to give me the blood"

"Okay" The waitress replied hesitantly

The waitress without a second thought worried about her son's fate in the dragon attack. she grabbed a knife from the table and took a deep breath and slashed her wrist.

Blood ran down her arm and she put it in Hope's mouth letting the blood fall into Hope's mouth. the next moment, the waitress felt her world spin as a wind hit her

The confused waitress realized that she was no longer at her place of origin she was across the street away from the diner. Not knowing how to react, the Waitress felt her stomach churn and threw everything she ate for the day out.

"Eww" Hope yelled in disgust.

Seeing the Waitress vomit, she jumped back, disappearing from her place, reappearing a few meters back, before the vomit hit the floor.

The waitress knelt on the floor breathing heavily. she couldn't even stand up, what the hell did she do to deserve this?

"You, I'll take you to a safe place," Hope said running to the waitress and biting her wrist"Drink"

Hope put her wrist in the Waitress's mouth and forced her to drink the blood causing the Waitress to gasp trying to get away from Hope.

The waitress gave Hope several blows to get away from the three-species hybrid, but Hope didn't move, it was like she was a steel wall

Hope only took her arm out of the Waitress's mouth when she saw that the wound on the girl's wrist had healed.

"Come on I'll take you to your son," Hope said looking up "Where is your son?"

She didn't lose sight of the dragon for a moment. Letting the Dragon get close to her would be too dangerous and she then looked in the direction of the diner looking like she was looking for something.

Her eyes widened when she saw a writhing clay apple and realized that this was Malivore and more monsters would come out of it if she kept this up.

"At the school in the west part of town" The waitress spoke with determination

She lost all the fear she had and looked into Hope's eyes with a lot of determination-making the girl a little uncomfortable.

"Yes let's go!" Hope screamed and grabbed the waitress around the waist pulling her towards Hope.

Hope kicked the ground and became a blur disappearing from the spot leaving the dragon to continue its destruction.

In the small town, elementary school a teacher was holding a door with all his strength while trembling in fear.

In his hand was a revolver that trembled in his hand. But at the same time, it gave a sense of confidence to everyone in the place.

All around him were people all scared too, a minority of adults and a majority of children, all thrown to the ground in shock, but it wasn't their fault. A dragon attacking the city was not something that happened all day and besides having vandals attacking everything around taking advantage of the dragon's fury to steal, kill and rape

The teacher was the only one armed in the situation capable of protecting everyone, at that moment, he cursed himself for being the only one armed in the place and they didn't have many bullets. Not enough to take care of a dragon

"Daddy!-- I want mommy" A little boy whimpered "where's mommy?"

The man looked at the little boy and smiled sadly at him. The dragon was going crazy right where the child's mother was and there was absolutely no way she could survive.

"It's okay, your mom will be fine!" The man spoke looking through the doorway

He bit his lip cursing his ex-wife's luck. As an armed and capable teacher, he had to stay and protect everyone, as a parent. he wanted to pick up his son and run as fast as possible with his son in his arms to ensure his son's survival above all else.

he was on edge and had few bullets. It was obvious that in a short time the dragon or the vandals would arrive at the school and there would be nothing left without someone to defend the school in the case of the vandals.

In the case of the dragon, it was certain death. It would be impossible to fight the dragon and the worst thing was that the dragon fire burned all the phone antennas making it clear that the army or any government agency would not come anytime soon to save them.

he still had the satellites, but he didn't have a satellite phone and those who did were too desperate to communicate that they had even if they asked, they wouldn't answer because of the shock

Suddenly the door broke and the man jumped back ready to shoot, without waiting twice he shot twice towards the door

"ouch" A scream was heard

The man's eyes widened as he closed the door despite knowing the sound of the scream.

He didn't want to believe he shot someone who cared and denied reality pretending he didn't hear a thing.

Hope after dropping off the waitress at school went back to Alex to wake him up and try to stop the dragon before anything else go to hell. As the army and television stations begin to broadcast a dragon attack destroying a country's army and the supernatural world is exposed. With some idiot governor blaming the supernatural for the destruction of the atomic bomb that the government will drop to try to kill the dragon
