Chapter 3

A New Arrival.

Suddenly while Captain Jerry and Mason was discussing what on earth to do with the baby dragon they had found. Archie bellowed “what’s that banging” Harley cowered beside the ammunition boxes on the lower flight deck as Mason marched to the side of the ship to search where this sound was coming from. Mason peered over the edge of the ship and to his amazement a young female was clambering up the side of the vessel. She immediately caught Mason staring at her from above, Her Blonde hair waved like a flag in the evening sky, her eyes as blue as a tropical lake.  All of a sudden, she lost her footing but managed to grab Masons outstretched hand. Her face had now turned as white as a ghost, terror swept the young girls face as the thought of falling became an intense reality.

Then out of nowhere Mason got a second wind and strength even he did not know he possessed and managed to drag the girl on to the deck. As she managed to steady herself and pull herself to her feet, the crew noticed her clothes were ripped and worn and her lips were all dried and cracked like stones in the desert, Archie passed her a small canister of water which she guzzled down as if she had not drunk for days. Then Captain Jerry said, “who are you?” she replied in a nervous voice “My name is Abbey and I’ve been lost for days after the dragon attack in my village, one of the dragons had taken me away from my friends and family and I don’t know where I am” at this moment Harley appeared from behind a supply crate and passed her a blanket to put over her.
