The Snow Dragon<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Chapter 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crunch! Crunch! I trudge through the cold, icy snow in the mountain forest. \u201cIt sure is cold\u2026\u201d I say. \u201cGood thing I\u2019m wearing my snow boots!\u201d After a gust of wind flows along my face, I say, \u201cI didn\u2019t bring any face protection! Oh, wait, the mask\u2019s in my backpack.\u201d<\/p>\n

You see, today, I\u2019m hiking in the mountain forest not as Carla! Today, I\u2019m Carla Adventures, adventurer and heroine! (Insert applauding noises!)<\/p>\n

Okay, so I fibbed about my last name being Adventures. But wouldn\u2019t it be SO COOL <\/i>if it was?! And highly suitable. Seriously. Having my last name as Johnson is NOT adequate.<\/p>\n

I walk further and…oof! I bump into a furry creature. I look up and see a frosty dragon with magical wings and snow and ice breath! Awww! It looks soooo adorbs! \u201cHi big, furry giant!\u201d I shout. It replies with a delightful, \u201cMeow!\u201d Huh? Snow dragons go, \u201cMeow!\u201d Didn\u2019t see that coming.<\/p>\n

Wow! I see the snow dragon forming a snowman with his\/her\/its breath! The snowman has a top hat and a carrot as well! Aw! The dragon then adds 3 cute buttons! \u201cThat\u2019s adorable!\u201d I exclaim. \u201cYou have such magical skills!\u201d The dragon grunts with a feminine voice. I guess it\u2019s a \u201cshe\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey, I\u2019ll come back tomorrow! K?\u201d I tell the dragon. The snowy creature nods, and I race back home, despite the coldness and frostbite on my fingers.<\/p>\n

Chapter 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

I get back home and open the door. Mom welcomes me in, asking me about my hike. \u201cIt was a blast! Except for getting frostbite!\u201d I reply. Mom giggles, runs into the kitchen, pours some hot cocoa with marshmallows into a mug, and hands it to me. \u201cHere you go!\u201d \u201cThanks a million!\u201d I say, sipping the cocoa.<\/p>\n

Mom disappears into the kitchen again hearing, \u201cHey! You give that back!\u201d Ha, it\u2019s my two younger siblings, Ivy and Alex! I walk into the kitchen and see Ivy and Alex fighting over a toy car! Mom snatches the car. \u201cNo more fighting!\u201d she exclaims, handing the car back to Alex. \u201cFiiine!\u201d Ivy whines. Ivy and Alex go into the living room, and I follow them, finishing my hot cocoa.<\/p>\n

I look at them for a moment, and then I go back into the kitchen, washing the mug and putting it in the dishwasher. I run into my room and read my book. Mom serves dinner in a few hours, and that\u2019s when Dad comes home. My siblings and I hug him. We eat our salads and drink our glasses of water. I go into the bathroom first so I can get ready before my brother and sister. I brush my teeth, wash my face, put on my PJ\u2019s, and climb to the top bed on the bunk bed stack. Ivy gets ready for bed and sleeps on the lower bed of the bunk bed stack. Alex goes into his room, gets ready, and goes to sleep.<\/p>\n

Chapter 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yawn! I wake up immediately, stretching. I rush downstairs to eat breakfast. Mom is serving pancakes! Mmm! Soon, Ivy and Alex come downstairs and eat their pancakes with syrup. I finish first, then Ivy, and then Alex. We brush our teeth, bathe, get dressed, and go outside. I tell Ivy and Alex, \u201cFollow me! I wanna show you something!\u201d Ivy says, \u201cNuh-uh! I\u2019m not following you because you\u2019ll probably leave me stranded in the woods, like last time!\u201d Oh yeah, the \u201cincident\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan\u2019t you forget about that one measly mistake-\u201d I say.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat wasn\u2019t <\/i>a mistake! That was on purpose<\/i>!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, it was!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLadies, please, just calm down-\u201d Alex breaks in.<\/p>\n

\u201cShut up, Alex!\u201d Ivy and I shout at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, I promise you, Ivy! I won\u2019t leave you stranded in the woods!\u201d I say. \u201cPinkie promises infinity times 2!!!!\u201d \u201cYou can\u2019t multiply infinity! It\u2019s already infinity!!\u201d Alex shakes his head. \u201cWhat do <\/i>they teach you in school?\u201d \u201cYou go to school too! It\u2019s not like you\u2019re homeschooled!\u201d Ivy replies, crossing her arms. \u201cOkay!!! JUST follow me!!!\u201d I answer.<\/p>\n

My siblings finally hush and follow me into the mountain forest. I hold on to my siblings. I know they\u2019re not scared. I’m just doing this for fun! \u201cOh YEAH!!!! Like I\u2019m sCaReD!!! MoMmYyYy, hOlD mEeE!!!\u201d Ivy mocks. Alex giggles, and I let them go. \u201cHere we are!\u201d I shout.<\/p>\n

Ivy and Alex stand there for a moment. Then they burst into laughter. \u201cOh my gosh, Carla, did you make an imaginary friend?? Hi, what\u2019s YOUR name?? I\u2019m Ivy, Carla\u2019s sister! Can…you\u2026.speaaak\u2026.myyy…laaanguaaage?\u201d Ivy says slowly. I whistle, and the snow dragon appears!<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the-\u201d Alex stares at the dragon with disbelief. \u201cThis has GOT to be a joke!\u201d Ivy exclaims. \u201cYou said it, sister!!\u201d Alex replies. \u201cMeet…my snow dragon! I have a name for her! Her name is\u2026.\u201d Oh no. I have not thought of a name yet. I say whatever comes to my mind. \u201cHer name is Snowy!\u201d \u201cHuh, what a great name!\u201d Ivy says. \u201cIt suits her very well! She is white as snow and can camouflage into her environment,\u201d Alex adds.<\/p>\n

Ivy and I look at each other. \u201cNerd,\u201d we whisper and giggle. \u201cHey! That is just called knowledge!!!\u201d Alex answers in defense. \u201cAlright, so that\u2019s what I wanted to show you!\u201d I say. \u201cCarla!!! WHY DIDN\u2019T YOU SHOW US THIS YESTERDAY??\u201d Ivy and Alex shout. \u201cShh!! You\u2019ll startle her!\u201d I say.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, an idea pops into mind. \u201cSnowy, can you become invisible?\u201d I ask. \u201cWhatcha thinking?\u201d Ivy asks. I don\u2019t respond spontaneously. Ivy forces me to tell her what I\u2019m thinking by bribing me with a Hershey bar and 30 bucks. You gotta admit, she makes the puppy eyes work.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I\u2019m thinking is,\u201d I say. \u201cMaybe we can bring Snowy into town!\u201d \u201cWon\u2019t people become a bit suspicious if we carry around a floating leash? They\u2019ll know something\u2019s up.\u201d Alex points out. \u201cTrue, true,\u201d I agree. \u201cOh! Maybe we can bring her to the scary woods!\u201d Ivy suggests. \u201cYou know, the one where you left me stranded. In the cold, bitter darkness-\u201d \u201cIt was nighttime!!!\u201d I reply fiercely. \u201cYou know, nevermind! Snowy, can you turn invisible?\u201d Snowy gives a nod. \u201cAwesome!!!\u201d Ivy exclaims excitedly. \u201cYes, this moment is very special and exciting for everyone for some reason,\u201d Alex mutters.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, Snowy is gone. \u201cUh oh! We lost Snowy!\u201d Ivy whimpers. \u201cIf we DID lose Snowy, and if it\u2019s YOUR fault, I\u2019ll KILL you!!\u201d I yell. I don\u2019t hear any meow or noise from Snowy. I run towards Ivy, but Alex surprisingly holds me back, pushing me away from my sister. \u201cNo! Snowy is right here<\/i>!\u201d Alex says, pointing to a collar and leash. \u201cAlright, let\u2019s ride on Snowy!\u201d I direct. \u201cEveryone, climb up on her legs, one by one, single file!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTalk about bossy,\u201d Ivy murmurs. \u201cShe\u2019s bossier than my fourth grade math teacher, and Mrs. Wilson always told us what to do.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s not called being bossy! It\u2019s called being responsible!\u201d I point out. Ivy, however, acts like she didn\u2019t hear what I said. Alex doesn\u2019t act. He didn\u2019t even hear what I said. He\u2019s like that. Ugh. Little brothers always block you out. Well, not always. But most of the time.<\/p>\n

I then climb on once Alex and Ivy are on Snowy. \u201cGo to Windwaker Woods!\u201d I order Snowy gently, and she flies out of the mountain forest, going up toward the sky.<\/p>\n

Chapter 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Woohoo!!! This is amazing!!! It\u2019s like you\u2019re a bird who\u2019s flapping its wings for the first time! \u201cWheeeeeeee!!!\u201d Ivy screams with delight. \u201cWheeeeeeeeeeee!!!\u201d Alex repeats. I attempt to grasp a cloud, but my hand just passes through the cloud. \u201cClouds are nothing but water droplets and air! You can\u2019t grab them like in the movies!\u201d Alex laughs. \u201cAw, man!\u201d I say.<\/p>\n

I look at a large rainbow. \u201cOoh, look at that pretty rainbow!\u201d I try to sing \u201cOver the Rainbow\u201d, but Ivy cuts me off just when I start the song. \u201cNope! Nuh-uh!\u201d she says. \u201cNo singing on this dragon ride! I want to enjoy this ride, not die of disgust!\u201d \u201cIf you would\u2019ve heard me\u2026\u201d I roll my eyes. \u201cI\u2019m not as bad as you think I am!\u201d \u201cPlease, sister! Give Carla a chance!\u201d Alex agrees.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, Alex!! I\u2019m buying you that awesome math video game you ask for every year on Christmas!\u201d I say, patting Alex on the back. \u201cAnyways, let me continue! And hear me, Ivy! Don\u2019t you block your ears! I promise, I\u2019ll sound good!\u201d \u201cWhat if you sing beautifully?\u201d Ivy asks. \u201cYou have to give me 100 dollars and an Oreo!\u201d I reply happily.<\/p>\n

\u201cUh, okay! What if you lose<\/i> and don\u2019t <\/i>sing beautifully?! What if you sound like a screeching bird with an injury?\u201d Ivy asks. \u201cThen…I\u2019ll give you 30 dollars, a 2 dollar bill, and 2 Oreos!\u201d I answer. \u201cDeal!\u201d Ivy shakes my hand. \u201cAlright! Three, two, one, GO!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

I start singing the song. My voice sounds angelic, and it ebbs and flows. I conclude the song, and Ivy is already near to tears. \u201cOh my gosh, I\u2019m sorry for doubting you! Uhhh, so now I don\u2019t have to give any money or anything or-\u201d \u201cOh no, I\u2019m taking the money and treats!\u201d I say, grabbing the 100 dollars and Oreo.<\/p>\n

Snowy suddenly lands in the woods with a big THUMP!!! Well, here we are: the spooky woods.<\/p>\n

Chapter 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alex whimpers. \u201cWhy did we have to go here?\u201d he asks, holding Snowy\u2019s leash. I hear a noise. Crack!<\/p>\n

What was that? \u201cHuh?\u201d I ask. Snowy\u2019s status is now visible. That could mean she could become killed by anything! Three hunters jump out of their hiding spots. One hunter grabs Alex, another grabs Ivy, and the biggest one holds me. \u201cHey, we finally got our hands on that dragon!\u201d the biggest one says. The three men cheer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are you here? Are you here to take Snowy away?\u201d I ask. \u201cOf course, now don’t worry about your \u2018Snowy!\u2019 She\u2019ll be fine!\u201d the biggest one replies. \u201cIn the cell,\u201d he quietly says. The men throw us down onto the ground. \u201cOuch!!! That hurt!\u201d Alex says. One ties Alex and Ivy to a tree, while another ties me to a tree. The biggest one, who I guess is the leader, holds Snowy\u2019s leash firmly. We see a helicopter, and it soon lands on the ground. A woman comes out, asking, \u201cDo you have the animal? The one we\u2019ve been looking for for two years?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d the biggest one replies. Okay, so the woman is the leader! \u201cLet Snowy go!\u201d I shout. \u201cNow, now, child, we need her for termination! She is dangerous to this world if we leave her in the hands of an irresponsible child! Or children!\u201d the woman answers. The biggest one and the other men drag Snowy into the helicopter. \u201cNoo!!\u201d I screech.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd, my friend should be coming in three…two…one…now!!!\u201d Alex says. Suddenly, a girl appears. She has freckles and a cute face. \u201cHey Layla!\u201d Alex greets. \u201cHey, Alex! I brought my knife, just like you asked!\u201d Layla says. \u201cAlex, what is all this?\u201d I ask.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, it all started when you showed me the dragon. I knew I had seen the dragon in a flyer somewhere! And that\u2019s when it occurred to me that Snowy was trying to be found. She was captured once, but she escaped! She deserves to roam freely in the wild, however. Not belonging to someone! It said in the flyer that her home was possibly in the mountain forest,\u201d Alex explains. \u201cI knew that they would come after us. After all, who doesn\u2019t want a snow dragon?? Anyways, I told Layla to come here at about 7:45, and that\u2019s the time right now!\u201d<\/p>\n

Layla uses her knife to cut the rope open. \u201cThanks!\u201d I say. Ivy and Alex also thank her. \u201cNo prob! When you have a feisty mother, you can learn from her!\u201d \u201cOkay, so I also remember that their station is near this spooky wood!\u201d Alex says. He directs us to follow him, and we do.<\/p>\n

We finally see a huge building with 3 stories! The bad news? There are two guards guarding the door. \u201cAlright, so let\u2019s sneak up-\u201d I say, but then Layla cartwheels and kicks the two guards. \u201cWell, that was unexpected,\u201d Ivy comments. \u201cCome on, let\u2019s go!\u201d We walk into the building. I\u2019m surprised they don\u2019t lock their doors for extra security.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a map of the whole building. I examine it quickly, and then I realize we have to go upstairs to rescue Snowy! \u201cCome on, guys. We have to go upstairs to find Snowy\u2019s cage!\u201d I say. We rush upstairs quietly and look at several cages with animals inside of them. I see keys on a hook on the wall. I do a cartwheel and reach the keys, grabbing them. Then I walk back to the others. \u201cHere are the keys! There are names for each animal on the key and on the signs on the cages, so make sure you match the names! And hurry!!\u201d I order. Everyone immediately goes to work. I get Snowy and Lava\u2019s keys, Layla gets to be on guard, Ivy gets Per and Stevie\u2019s keys, and Alex receives Tom, Tam, and Tim\u2019s keys.<\/p>\n

We all unlock the animals from their cages, and nothing has happened. Yet. However, I then hear a buzzing sound. \u201cOh no!\u201d I say. The animals have been released, so the technology around this building must have sensed our presence and the creatures\u2019 escape! \u201cGuys, run! Animals, run! EVERYONE, RUN!!!\u201d I shout. But no need for that. Snowy bursts through the ceiling, forming a hole that\u2019s big enough for everyone to fly or climb out through!<\/p>\n

First, the humans, which are my siblings, Alex\u2019s friend, and me. Then the monsters help each other out. Aww, even though they\u2019re wild, they\u2019re also moral! At least, I think? Layla, my siblings, and I climb onto Snowy\u2019s back, and she brings us to our houses while being invisible. First, we stop at Layla\u2019s house. \u201cBye, Layla!\u201d we shout. \u201cBye!!!\u201d Layla waves and disappears into her house.<\/p>\n

Next stop is our house! Snowy lands in front of our house. I pat Snowy on the nose. \u201cIt was a pleasure to have an adventure with you, Snowy!\u201d I say. I hug her, and so does everyone else. \u201cBye, Snowy!!! We love you!!!\u201d we all exclaim. At least, from what I can feel, I know that Snowy\u2019s not gone. She\u2019s still here, in the heart. On the inside, where it truly matters.<\/p>\n
