Chapter 15
As the dragon flew up into the darkness, Veronica clasped Prince Vaugn’s hand. It was thrilling to be going up, up, up. Her heart beat fast.
She thought maybe she should be concerned about letting the dragon out. But it felt like the right thing to do and she did not regret it. Prince Vaugn smiled at her, as he closed his fingers around hers.
They shot out of the darkness within the crevice faster than an arrow. They flew into the sky at high speeds. It felt like they would careen into the millions of glittery stars that filled the sky.
“How beautiful.” She whispered. Prince Vaugn nodded. As the dragon leveled out above the mountains, Veronica and Prince Vaugn both glanced back at Roger, who appeared to be sleeping in the dragon’s clutches. “Is he going to be ok?”

The Creature In The Walls Chapter 16
They entered the dining hall, quietly. The castle seemed to groan around them, almost as if it were coming alive. When they entered the dark dining room, they could see nothing. It was twice as dark as the rest of the castle with no light breaking through.Veronica and Prince Vaugn were slinking through the dark when something grabbed them from behind. Prince Vaugn swung his sword and Veronica struggled. He deflected his blade at the last second, when he realized it was their fathers who had them.Veronica breathed in heavily and wrapped her arms around her father. “Dad, are you alright?” She asked quietly.He put a finger over his lips and pointed at the corner of the room. It blended in perfectly with the shadows that filled the room. The keeper was larger than a horse at this point. It slept in the co

The healer told them her name was Gale. She was so pretty that Veronica thought she sparkled with her silky blonde hair and annoyingly light blue eyes. Her spunky attitude flustered Veronica.Gale did nothing to mask her ogling of the prince. To his credit, Prince Vaugn did not seem to notice the girl’s obvious attention.She had followed them from the village to the outskirts of town. But they didn’t stop. Her voice was hesitant as she asked, “where are we going?”Veronica rolled her eyes. “I told you my father needs your help and that we were attacked by a creature. He is really injured. Possibly poisoned.”Prince Vaugn stumbled slightly. Gale was by his side in an instant with a worried expression on her face. “Are

I watched the noisy girls as they fought over who knows what. Prince Vaugn seemed perplexed. But aside from Veronica’s rising temper, there didn’t seem to be any danger.We had made it to the cabin and everyone had a place around the room. The front door was left open to include Sladesaple. When we were waiting for Veronica to fetch the healer, he told me that his name was Disacland Sladesaple but it was obvious I could not say all that.Sladesaple suggested I only say part of it. But even that was hard. It was frustrating because I wanted to talk to my cub mate just as good as the monster prince.Veronica sat down in a wooden chair. Gale laughed and sat on her lap, as Prince Vaugn laid the father monster on the bed. Veronica tried to push Gale away.

With the encouragement of the girls, I brought the map outside so that Saple could see where we were going. Veronica knew the importance of our ride knowing the way. Gale had said using the dragon was the only way they would make it back in time to save the father monster.Saple looked at it for a long moment. Then he snorted and tossed his head. The movement ended with a sneeze.“I remember the great war that claimed those lands because I fought in them. That was long ago.” Saple explained in a knowing voice that made him sound especially wise. “There is a nearby fort we should visit. It was once a thriving metropolis and is sure to have the answer to fighting the keeper.”Roger glanced at Veronica. She was standing in the middle of the cabin with both hands on her hips, making a displeased

I was little again, maybe five. Up until I saw the look in the monster king’s haunted eyes at Saple’s cell, all I could remember from back then was how scared I had always been. But now, I watched the child who was me. I ran around in circles beneath a blazing sun in a giant green field filled with little white flowers. I was laughing and playing happily. Looking up from the field, my younger self started jumping around as if I saw the best thing in the world. In the sky, a dragon descended. With a bubbly excitement, I ran up to the dragon after it was on the ground and assaulted the rider. A hearty laugh escaped the rider’s throat. He bent over and rubbed my young head with a joyful smile. “How’s my little man, Roderick?” The name shocked me, as I remembered the King calling me by that name that day. It wa

TRIGGER: graphic images and fightingNone of the bones had purple flowers in or under them and I hated touching them. It was creepy. It didn’t take long before I saw I was alone and that I could no longer see Saple.My worry choked me. I walked in a circle, trying to find my cub mate or the monster prince but I didn’t see them anywhere. Finally, I collapsed into a sitting position.I kicked the scattered skull that was closest to my foot and gasped as a bright color caught my attention. I crawled over to it. The purple flower that we were looking for grew out of a hole in the ground.It’s thick colorful green stem disappeared deep into the earth. I reached for it. Pulling my hand back suddenly, I gasped from the pain and saw the bloo

Then, there was nothing. I floated in a black sea that rocked me soothingly, as I let it carry me away. But suddenly it was bright.Groaning, I opened my eyes to see that I was standing downstairs in the castle I called home. I walked through that familiar dark door. Recognizing my younger self immediately, I felt a wave of sadness mix with a disorienting sense of future gloom.My father stood in the middle of the room. Opening his arms, the rider walked in a circle indicating all the creatures that lined the walls. He stopped in front of the younger me.The younger me looked up at him with big scared eyes as I shook my head vehemently. “I don’t want to.” I was telling him with urgency and I remembered how I felt at that moment.The feeling of fam

When I woke up, I was confused for a few minutes about where I was and what was happening. Everything looked weird. All the colors around me were so much brighter and the darkness had much more depth.I didn’t understand. But there was an important mission that we came here for that needed my attention right now. I looked over where the snake had come out.The blue flower was laying on it’s side on the ground but I cannot remember how it got separated from its stem. I picked it up gently. Calling out to my cub mate, I offered it excited to see the joy I brought to her face.But then she reacted in the strangest of ways! I caught her as she fell and helped her gently to the ground. I didn’t know why she fell asleep. It had been a long day but that explanation did not feel right to me.
