Be Careful of the Dragons (frightorfligth and LataPaine)

[frightorflight]

So sad were the little creatures. Now there home was gone, and they were lost in the forest. They wondered around, helpless and slowly being picked off by larger creatures. they slept in cold wet holes and shivered in the night. In the day they went cold and hungry. Frightened scared little creatures. They ate what they could find but more often they would run into something bigger and be eaten. Almost all the females were gone. They didn't know what to do. There spirits were dropping like their numbers.

One day they were moving through the woods when they spotted a very strange creature. It was big, so they were scared as first, but it looked very friendly, and it had food. The watched for a while, circling just out of site. When they were more certain they began to approach the larger creature. They were careful, and cautious. As they approached this larger thing they had met in the woods.

Eventually they decided to rush out. They swarmed around the creature, they skittered over her, licking her and climbing insider her cloths. They took her food an scurried off. The huddled together in a little pack, devouring the food. Than they looked at the creature. They watched and waited to see what would happen, they hoped they would not be attacked yet again and becomes a meal. they looked sad, and scared, and helpless.

Dolores has been living in the forest for quite some time now, doing some research on the local wildlife. She has been hearing about some over hunting of some deer, and she is searching for signs of illegal poaching. It’s something she can’t stand, but ever since she arrived at the cabin, she hasn’t seen any kind of activity. She can’t help but assume that the information she received could have been false about the hunters, and it doesn’t appear that that the deer population has been dropping at all. “I wonder if I’m at the wrong location…” She thinks to herself while looking over a map on a desk in the cabin.

She sighs as she moves from her seat, stretching her arms and legs a bit as she since she has been sitting for quite a while. Feeling the urge to stretch out her legs and begins walking around the inside of the cabin. While walking, she feels her stomach rumbling and decides to get something to eat. She opens a fridge and proceeds to make herself a ham and cheese sandwich. After the sandwich has been made, she decides to get some fresh air.

Stepping onto the porch, she suddenly hears a twig snap close by and lets her amber eyes glance around taking a bit into her sandwich. “That was weird… Animals usually try to avoid this area…” She mutters to herself as she begins stepping down the porch. “There shouldn’t be anyone out there either… No one is scheduled to come out here for at least another two months…” She continues on, shrugging off the uncomfortable feeling for the moment.

Just as her right foot hits the ground, she is suddenly swarmed by a mass of small creatures, causing her to stumble backwards and onto the stairs that consists of three steps. “Ahhh!” She cries out, wincing as her back arches slightly and feels the back of her head hitting the porch. She barely has time to react, feeling the buttons on her shirt popping of as she feels claws digging into her soft skin. Her shirt bursts apart when the creatures finally move away from her, completely exposing her large bra covered chest to the cool air.

Stunned, she would lean against the stairs for the moment, reaching with her right hand to rub the back of her head. She would soon notice that her sandwich is no longer in her hand and look around to see what attacked her. She would also find that she’s bleeding a bit over her chest, ribs, and tummy, but nothing serious since it appears to be small cuts were made into her smooth skin. It would be long before her eyes lock onto the small creatures, showing a look of surprise. “Wh-What on Earth…?”

Startled, she tries to quickly stand back up, moving backwards on the steps before tripping and falling onto her rear end. Never having seen anything like them before in her life, she can’t help but freak out a little, unintentionally showing signs of weakness to the many creatures that could easily surround her. Normally, she wouldn’t show any signs of fear when encountering a wild animal since it could set them off, but seeing something as unusual as small dragons startled her.

The creatures saw that she was just as afraid as she was Some of them scurried away from the group and looked at her, form a distance and form different angels. Eventual all of them went out, getting closer or looking at her from different angels. They got closer and closer, until they all scurried off, running around or across her. They rushed into er Cabin and began to search for anything that could be considered food.

They tried her couch but found it wasn't very tasty. They sampled her cloths and several other things. They just generally made a mess. Finally they found the kitchen. They went through they covered and tried to break into cans. with no success. They managed to break into her fridge and broke open the milk jug, tore open packages and dived into jelly jars. Once they had cleaned out the fridge they looked for more.

They were about to move back to the can's and try again when they heard the creature come back into the house. They scurried off and looked for any hole or alcove they could hide in. The went under furniture, into coverts, under the blanket on the bed. They all scurried away and managed to find a place to hide, all accept one. Covered in jelly and left in the open it curled up into a ball on the floor and shivered, waiting to be eaten.

She feels her heart racing a bit while she sits there on the porch with her legs draped over the steps, trying hard to calm back down while trying to keep her eyes on the creatures that practically surround the cabin. Her body would stiffen when seeing them moving towards her direction, watching while they move at a slow pace. “Ahh!” She cries out and quickly brings her arms up when seeing them suddenly dart towards her, believing they were attacking her, but were trying to get passed her.

Her eyes open and she pulls her arms away from her face, hearing loud noises coming from within the cabin now. She quickly turns and stumbles onto her feet as she makes her way back inside, instinctively closing the door behind her as she sees that they tore through her couch, thrown cans around, and then proceeded to break into the fridge to get at the food they could eat. She just couldn’t believe what she’s seeing as she stands there, aw struck at the sight before seeing them suddenly disburse and hide in various corners of the cabin when they noticed her.

She wouldn’t be able to keep track of them as they find their hiding places throughout the cabin, but her eyes soon notice that there is still one left out in the open on the floor. She can’t help but feel a bit confused by their behavior, expecting them to be dangerous even though she has never encountered anything like them before. Managing to calm herself back down, she slowly inches her way closer to the creature that curled himself into a ball, starting to feel a bit sympathetic since it appears that he’s just as afraid as her.

“It’s… It’s okay… It's fine now...” She says softly as she crouches down next to it and slowly brings her right hand over, still feeling quite nervous about the situation. Gently and lightly, she brings her fingers to the dragon’s head, caressing softly in an attempt to show that she isn’t any threat to him or the many creatures that can easily overpower her with their numbers. She can’t help but drop her guard down even more, believing the creatures that invaded the cabin to be even more helpless than herself at the moment.

The moment she touched the creature it made a strange noise and uncurled and fell on his back like he was dead. All the others seemed to scream and scurried out of cabin as quick as they could. Rushing under the porch of cabin and huddling together in a protective circle. They were sure their left behind friend was to be the creatures next meal, hopefully it would be occupied with him and the rest of them could leave.

The little dragon laid there, playing dead and hoping he wouldn't be eaten. It hadn't worked much before but there was the small chance it would, this creature hadn't seemed very aggressive after all. It just laid there on it's back and looked as unappetizing as it could, stick and covered in jelly as it was. All it could do was lay there.

It opened it's eyes a little bit and saw her again. "ehhhh!" it screamde again and tried to act deader.
