Chapter 4
Thorn covered Mahogany's mouth with his tail before she could repeat the song.
"Heh heh heh. Nevermind her..." Thorn said nervously.
"Um...I've gotta go..." Precious said, then she ran out of the room.
"Precious! PRECIOUS!" Sycamore called, then he, too, ran out to where Precious ran.
"Precious!" Sycamore panted, "Don't pay attention to them. I'm here!" he pointed out.
"Yes," Precious agreed faintly, "You are better than Mahogany, or Thorn, or Acorn, that's for sure." She looked at him. Sycamore grinned.
"Sycamore?" she asked suddenly.
"What is it?" he said.
"I-" she was cut off.
"GIANT SERPENT EATER!" Sycamore shouted. He was right. The huge gaping mouth was coming. Coming straight for Precious.
"Precious! Run! I'll distract it. Go go go!" Sycamore ordered, and he pushed her away.
"But what about you?! That thing can swallow a dragon as big as you! We should both run!" Precious cried, readying her wings.
"Don't worry about me! I'll follow you when I'm do-" he shoved her away again and he sprinted toward the gargantuan beast. It was definitely closer than before.
"No!" Precious gasped. She watched helplessly as the huge mouthed dragon promptly stabbed Sycamore with a paralysis venom from its tail. It then grabbed him in its supposedly endless jaws and just plainly carried him off.
"Too late..." Precious whispered, to no one in particular.
