Midnight Mysteries

Chapter 5

<* Picture af Amaranth at right *>

The back doors swung open letting a cool breeze in.

"W...what's going on?" Avrial asked, backing up to grab Elizabeth's arm. Suddenly a figure appeared in the frame of the door. She had a long black dress on. Her hair was a curly black which waved in the wind. She wore a tiara on her head, made of thorns. She looked to be the same age as they were, only a little older.

"Who are you?" Elizabeth yelled at the young girl.

"Amaranth. I am the older sister of the 'king'. As you can see, I do not live in his little girly castle," She said raising a hand. Amaranth then snapped her fingers and everything went black.

 A cold rush of wind came in through the open window, waking up both Elizabeth and Avrial.

"Where are we!?" Avrial yelled, looking around. Eizabeth struggled, pulling at the ropes that were wrapped around her and Avrial.

"I don't know but I don't like it." She said, looking up at the cieling. A drop of water fell in her face, making Elizabeth squeal, "What is this!?" she yelled wiping her face on her shoulder. A low growl was herd from above making them look up at a huge figure, which seemed to be floating. A candle flickered in the corner, only showing some of the creature.

"What is it?" Avrial whispered to Elizabeth. The creature leaned closer to the light and spit fire onto the other candles in the room. It then leaned closer reveiling what it was. A dragon sat infront of them, it's scales a dark shinning blue. The eyes of the dragon shimmered a seaweed green.

"A dragon?" Avrial asked, squinting her eyes to see better. Elizabeth gaped at the blue dragon. The light of the candles shimmered off of the dragons blue scales, making the walls look a light blue. The dragon opened it's mouth, as if it was about to singe them with fire. But instead, spoke.
