I walked around to the back of the house, hoping to find something that would give me some kind of assurance about my sanity. The place was fenced in and luckily unlocked. I tried to look inconspicuous as I walked around the backyard. I found nothing. No trace of what transpired the other night. I peeked through every window hoping for something. Still nothing.

The wind picked up again, caressing and almost pulling me around to the back of the yard again. I instantly noticed footprints caked into the sand. These weren’t just any footprints—they were a woman’s footprints. They trailed all the way to the back, stopping in front of the fence.

“What the hell?” A small shred of cloth that looked as if it had been ripped from an outfit was snagged on the chain link fence. I leaned in closer and pulled it off. It was the same material that Lady Eve wore when we had visited her. I looked over the fence. There weren’t any footprints on the other side or leading away from this spot in the backyard. She had walked all the way back here and stopped, but where did she go?

I contemplated calling the police, but what would I say. “Umm, hello, this lady that I only know by first name who broke into someone’s house and claimed it as her own den of psychic wisdom may be missing.” Yeah, that would fly real well. In the back of my mind, fear struck. What if something had happened to her? She had been scared of Zordon, and she was definitely scared when she pushed us out the door, ending our time together. My emotions were overwhelming.

Suddenly, the blinding sun felt suffocating, and I couldn’t breathe. My chest heaved up and down in an unbalanced cadence that I couldn’t steady. I laid my hand over my heart, trying to will it to calm down, but it continued to race wildly as if it were going to beat out of my chest. In the pit of my stomach I felt a strange being stir. Such heavy emotions seemed to be a trigger for my dragon side.

Think calming thoughts, I told myself. Breathe, breathe, breathe… But I felt something creeping up my arm like tiny crabs. I looked down to brush them off and instantly panicked.

Red mirrored scales began to run up my arm, scales like you would find on a…a dragon. I tilted my head away from them as they rushed towards my shoulder in a wave. This was not happening, I thought as I went to scream, but my scream was interrupted.

“Hello, Aurora,” said the quirky voice of a girl.

For a moment I stopped breathing. Everything stopped actually. And then like the crazy wave in which they had rolled up my arm, the scales rolled back down, disappearing, as if they had never been there at all.

“What the hell is going on?” I questioned as I tried to shield the rays of sun that surrounded her.

“Good timing on my part,” she answered with a laugh.
