Chapter 12
The plan was a simple one. The three dragons would split up and enter town at different times to maximize their chance at success. First, Jeremy would enter town and loudly announce himself, drawing every dragon slayer to his position. As the fastest one in their group, they hoped he would be able to keep far enough away from the slayers that they would have to give chase while still remaining enough of a threat that they couldn't ignore him.
Windcutter would be the second one to enter the town. His goal would be to divide the slayers' forces. If the slayers were too preoccupied dividing their numbers between two dragons, that should hopefully leave a window for Becca to sneak into town and talk to the Mason family.
At least, she hoped it would. Deep in her gut, though, she couldn't help but feel like they were making a grave mistake. She wasn't comfortable with the idea of Windcutter flying off on his own. She wanted to be there with him. At the same time, though, they had a mission, and everyone had to do their part.
As much as she didn't like the plan, she couldn't argue with its merits. Eventually, she conceded that it was the best course of action.
The three dragons waited until nightfall before they got into position. Jeremy and Windcutter would each approach from the West, making themselves visible targets in the night sky. Becca would approach from the South once both dragons let up their signal. She hid among the fields and watched the buildings, waiting patiently for the blast of fire that signaled Jeremy had drawn the slayers' attention. After twenty minutes of waiting, a ball of fire that popped like a firework went up into the air. Thirty minutes later, a second column of flame filled the sky â Windcutter's signal.
Her friends were doing their part, and now it was time for her to do the same.
Becca spread her wings and took to the air. She glided low to the ground, hoping not to draw much attention to herself, and used the familiar environment to guide her. She'd snuck into Lucy's room enough times that she knew the way by heart. Lucy's parents had never really approved of them being together â they were old-fashioned that way. Whether it was the fact that their daughter was queer bothered them or that their daughter was dating a Becca, she could never tell.
Either way, they were in for a rude surprise when she showed up at their door.
Becca landed in front of the familiar tall, almost mansion-like house and looked it up and down. She was struck with a sudden wave of nostalgia. The three-story house was positively massive, with a three-door garage at the front leading to a driveway long enough for three dragons. Some of the dozen windows were dark, but there were a few lights on that Becca could see.
First things first, time to see if Lucy's home, Becca thought.
As silently as she could manage, Becca started creeping around the house.
