The dragon did me in!

"Why are you running?!" I shouted after the Dragon, annoyed by its desperate attempts to escape from my grasp. 

Yet, the Dragon didn't bother to heed my pleas. Instead, it swung its massive wings, pushing against the air as it continued to run away from me. 

'Wait a second,' I suddenly thought, nearly stopping myself from my dash. 'Why am I catching up to it now?' 

I wasn't using the same kind of forceful methods as before. And yet, the distance between the Dragon and me, albeit slowly, continued to decrease. 

'Is it trying to pull me away from the city or something?' I thought, squinting my eyes as I attempted to see further into the distance to discern some more details of the Dragon. 

And there it was. 

Despite pretending to run away at its max possible speed, the Dragon gave itself the leisure of angling its head to the side so that he could throw a glance at me.
