^_^ I just finish this semester. Now I can post more aften (if I can think of what to say). I had studied all weekend (kinda). I found me slacking off now and a again. I've really got to get modivated in school more. Anyways, I'm going to start working more on my story. I'll post the next chapter now so you all can read it. Enjoy. Oh, by the way I'm trying something new. I'm going to start giving you previews of the next chapter. Tell me what you think about that. Thanks.
Chapter 10: Kenneth Word
Great, Amber thought, why’d it have to be in his tail and how would she get close enough to get it out. Amber stood there staring at his tail. There’d be not way he’d let her get close to his tail. Not when it held his life.
“What life,” she muttered, “his already dead. He’s not even breathing.”
It was true. She could see clearly that he was inhaling or even exhaling. He was just a walking dead dragon and there was not way to kill what is already dead. She had to get that fragment. She’d have to retreat for now just until she found out how to get it. Amber let her eyes wonder.
“I know what you’re thinking, but the question is will I let you escape.”
Amber stepped out from the store.
“Logan would be disappointed if you killed me.”
“Who said anything about killing you, I’m here just for to play. No I leave your life in his hands.”
Kenneth charged her. She jumped aside dodging him. His claws swung at her face. Again she dodged. His other hand following the same path at the same time nailed her leave four tiny cuts on her left cheek. She swung a fisted hand into his stomach forcing him to take a step back.
“The finest joy in a fight is feel the pain that come with it. I so do love the feeling. It meaning that you’re a worthy opponent,” said Kenneth chuckling.
Amber let the blood slide down her cheek.
“Did you know that pain isn’t a weakness,” he chuckled again, “It’s a strength. Pain let us know we’re injured.”
This he demonstrate by sliding his arm with his finger nail. Amber noted that no blood dripped from the wound before it healed.
“A world without pain would be a sad place. Many people would die before anyone would know they were bleeding. Pain makes the world go round.”
“That’s ridiculous,” Amber said, “How do you can you say some like that?”
“Ridiculous? Is it really? Almost everything it this world cause pain. Pain not only physically, but mentally and emotionally too. People die and someone’s in pain. Death, guns, murders, the world goes through this every day. Can you imagine what life would be like without it?”
“It would be a better place.”
Kenneth laughed.
“How cute, I bet you still believe the human and dragons can live together in harmony too.”
“And what’s wrong with that?”
He laughed harder.
“Dragons and humans are different. Too different. Humans can never trust us never in a million years to come and beyond. Face Amber dragons are born killing machines.”
“Most dragons today had been human.”
“Yeah, but once a human bitten they are reborn into a dragon and the human now a dragon become just another killing machine.”
Amber put her hand to her head. He’s just trying to complicate things, Amber told herself.

Chapter 11: Kenneth’s End and Amber’s Peace
“It's amazing what a car tells people about a person living habits isn’t it.”
“Car? But I haven’t had a car since…” Amber eyes opened wide.
She could see it now. He had been the dragon that had smelled the blood from the wound to her hand all those years ago. His hair had been blond then and his eyes brown. He smiled.
