I'm sorry for the long wait. I can get distracted so easily. So I hope that you will forgive me.
This is my first story. So please, no flames. Just helpful criticism or good reviews. I got the idea of this story from the sci-fi original movie, Basilisk: The Serpent King. It might change dramatically from the movies way.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Danny Phantom characters or the show. I only own Jacob Shawntly and Cherene.
The dragon's red eyes blinked for the first time in 2,000 years as it took in it's strange and unfamiliar surroundings. The inside of the building was gray and white with large pictures hanging on the walls. Several ancient artifacts scattered the room in an organized pattern, ranging from sizes of extremely small to abnormally large, such as jewelry and life sized statues. The dragon finally took notice of the average sized crowd in front of him. As soon as his eyes were set upon them, the whole crowd froze, not wanting to draw attention to themselves. His eyes scanned the whole crowd, not lingering on any of them for more than half a second. Except for one. Red eyes lingered on a beautiful woman's violet eyes for about 5 seconds before moving on. Then once he had scanned the whole crowd, his eyes went back to hers. Finally, after staring at her for about half a minute, he looked toward the ceiling and saw the full moon above. Growling deeply, he loudly roared, making the crowd cover their ears in pain and finally run away from the horrible beast.
Sam's heart stopped when his red eyes lingered on her violet one's longer than anyone else's. She silently sighed in relief when his eyes left. 'God that scared me. I wonder why he looked at me the longest.'
Her heart stopped again he looked at her again, though for a longer amount of time this time around. She kept thinking, 'Quit staring at me. Quit staring at me. Quit staring at me.' Her silent plea was finally answered when he looked up. 'Thank you, God.' Then the dragon emitted an unearthly growl, before letting out a monstrous roar. 'Now I think that I would've taken staring instead.' She took off running as he looked at the crowd angrily with insanity running through his eyes.
As he looked at the crowd, he finally took notice of his stomach, which was aching quite painfully. One thing was going through his mind when the people started to run, toppling over each other in a desperate getaway. 'FRESH MEAT.'
The dragon quickly darted forward to catch it's first prize. He managed to grab a balding man in his 40's, a terrified expression on his face. The dragon shoved the man to the ground, keeping his paw on top of him. The dragon grinned maliciously as he opened his mouth wide, a glowing orange light coming from the back of his throat. He removed his paw just before a stream of fire hit the man, cooking him. The dragon stopped spitting fire on the man and looked at his work for a moment. The man was nicely cooked, all clothes and hair burned off of him. (Dragons can't digest anything made of any kind of hair in this fic.) The dragon reached down and started ripping the meat off like you would with cooked ribs at a Bar-B-Que, and started to eat it. After finishing the corpse quickly, he looked around for more prey. He spotted his next target. He leapt towards him and swatted him to the ground. It was none other than Jacob Shawntly. The dragon started to power up a fire blast when suddenly a figure in black darted in between him and Jacob. The dragon quickly powered down the blast. It was Sam to the rescue. Here comes another kind of fire.
"KEEP YOU'RE FILTHY, FIERY HANDS OFF OF HIM, YOU JERK!! YOU HEAR ME!! NOW GET OUTTA HERE!!" She had an incredibly angry look on her face as she pointed a finger at him. Inside, she was trembling. 'What the FUCK are you doing?! He's going to kill you in an instant!!' To her surprise though, the dragon's expression calmed as he stood there, staring at her for a good 5 minutes. He finally backed up, turned away and walked off in the opposite direction, looking for other easy prey. Sam just stared after him, confusion running through her face like a marathon. Valerie and Cherene rushed back to Jacob and Sam.
"Are you okay?!" Cherene yelled at Jacob.
"Are you okay?!" Valerie yelled at Sam.
"I'm fine." Jacob and Sam said at the same time.
"It's just that, I can't help but wonder why the dragon did what I told him to do. It's just weird." Sam wondered.
I am SOOOOOOOOO sorry!!!! Like I said, easily distracted. I know, over-used excuse. But it's true. I hope you enjoy this one.
daft pirate out.
