Lover's Danger
By: Nicole
 

If you have just picked this up you should know it's a story of love and danger. So my friends let us begin.

Long ago in a time not well remembered lived a dragon. His name was Org. Org lived on a planet called Donwage in a galaxy called Zolocsta. Now if you wanted to reach this place you would need to go through a million other galaxies which not even I know the names of. For there are so many and some may not even have a name.

Org was a light green dragon. This in his culture meant that he was the gentlest of all dragons. Org had many friends and was very much loved by his family. Yet he had one tiny problem. He had never loved. Now Org was reaching his fiftieth passing (which is like fifty years). As soon as he did, he would be expected to marry. Every day he hoped to find his true love by putting a sign outside his hut, singing at a cafe, or going to the market and smiling at the dragonesses. Yet every day he failed.

As time moved on, the annual Love Festival and Love Ball approached. Org hoped at one of the festivities he would find his true love for this might be his last chance. Without marrying at his fiftieth passing, he would disgrace his family name and if he did, then he decided he would have to leave home. If he had to leave home then he'd go out into the forest, wander around, and then die from starvation.

At the Love Festival all the fairest dragonesses were there. But none suited him. Until his eyes settled on a beautiful dragoness in about her forty-ninth passing; her name was Rebecca. Rebecca was a light red dragon. This in her culture meant most beautiful. But all the other dragons were around her. The big problem was that they were all more handsome than him. Org was too shy to go up to her. So he followed her home and left a large metal button necklace shaped like a heart on her but door. Little did he know this would one day save her life.

Unfortunately Org was not the only one who loved Rebecca. A dragon named Phoebeus also loved her. Phoebeus was a very dark blue dragon. This in his culture meant doesn't always take the right path. He was so determined to gain Rebecca's love that in fact he had asked for her love many times. But every time she refused. But Phoebeus would not be put down. So he had once again tried at the festival. Yet Rebecca still refused him. He had stormed off in such a rage that his dragon fire breath had burned fifty farms as he did so. Right then and there he swore, "if she refuses me again she will regret the day she ever lived!" Know back to Org. He ran a Pananin (which is like a newspaper). He delivered a Pananin to every but which included Rebecca's. So one day he put a note in Rebecca's Pananin. It read:

                  Dear Rebecca,

I love you with all my heart. Will you meet me in the middle of   the of Love Ball's dance floor at the fithy-eighth hour? -An Admirer

Rebecca squealed with glee as she read this for she too was looking for her true love. But wait! The Love Ball was tonight! She would have to get ready quickly. Of course with her natural beauty she'd just have to slip into a dress and tie up her long auburn dragon hair.

Phoebeus also knew of the ball that night and that everybody was going to be there including Rebecca. He planned to kidnap her at the fithy-eighth hour and force her to marry him.

That night Phoebeus, Rebecca, and Org all waited impatiently for the fithy­eighth hour. Finally it was three mums (which are just like minutes) to the fithy­eighth hour. Org started to the middle of the dance floor when suddenly he witnessed a masked man kidnapping Rebecca! At first he was scared as a dragon about to be killed by a knight. He was so freaked out he didn't know what to do. Suddenly he thought to himself, "In my note to Rebecca I said 1 loved her with all my heart. What kind of love would it be if 1 didn't at least try to save her?"

 

So forgetting his fear, Org followed them to a dark and gloomy castle.

When finally he kicked the door down (which by the way was 500 pounds while he was only 300 pounds) he saw Phoebeus taking off the kidnapper's mask. He was not surprised because he knew what the deep blue meant in his culture. But this meant Phoebeus was the kidnapper! Phoebeus tied Rebecca to a chair. When Org heard Phoebeus beg for Rebecca's love, his heart pounded faster and faster, until he heard her answer...

"Never!" she spat. Phoebeus stormed off in rage.

 

Then Org saw his chance. So he popped out and started untying the ropes around Rebecca. He had just finished untying her ankles when he heard footsteps. He hid just before Phoebeus came in with a dagger in his hand. Org was frozen in place as the dagger struck Rebecca in the heart. Rebecca fell dead on the floor. Phoebeus stood over Rebecca snarling at what he had done.

Suddenly all that anger Org was holding against Phoebeus burst out. He kicked him then pushed him against a wall. Surprisingly the wall gave way. Org let go of Phoebeus, in surprise, who fell to his death because the room they were in was 200 feet from the ground. Org stumbled over to Rebecca and pulled the dagger out. Then a miracle happened...

Rebecca opened her eyes! The dagger had hit the large metal button heart necklace which she always wore around her neck. Org picked her up and told her about the note. Rebecca said that she had loved the note. Suddenly they were talking about their friends,' families, and lives. They found themselves falling in love.

On the eve of his fiftieth passing, Rebecca was Org's special guest. When Org asked Rebecca to marry him, Rebecca happily agreed. Yet there was one more problem. Would their families agree to a light green dragon marrying a light red dragon? Then they both agreed that even if their parents disagreed they would marry anyway. For their love was stronger than anything. So Org and Rebecca announced their engagement. Their parents disagreed at first. But when they saw how strong Org and Rebecca's love was, they happily agreed.

I hoped you enjoyed this. Remember there's someone out there for everyone. If you can't find them now, you'll find them one day.
