Mari tightened the laces of her sneakers.

Why was she still going to do this?

The sun hadn't quite touched the edge of the horizon, but it was making itself known with the lightening of the grey morning sky. It was much earlier than she usually got up, but it was necessary.

She couldn't jog to school and then remain in the same clothes.

She'd seen how sweaty the girls on the track team got, and they were fit.

She had to leave enough time to shower in the gym shower.

Shoes on her feet, sleeping dragon sleeping snuggled into the extra clothes in her backpack – she was ready to go.

After four minutes of huffing, she encountered a problem.

Miss Kitty wiggled her way out of the backpack and glided to the ground.

Mari was so focused on the ugh of placing one foot after the other that she wouldn't have noticed except for the tug on the backpack when the dragon found the end of the leash. She'd snapped a leash onto the harness and tied it to the backpack.

She had to do something to contain the predator.

"Rrrrwwrrrrr," Miss Kitty snarled, twisting on the end of the leash.

Mari paused to look at her for a second.

If she waited too long, the dragon would just cut or burn the tie.

"Heel!" Mari squeaked, her breath barely able to form the word. She plopped forward and started jogging again, physically dragging the dragon along for the ride.

It only took a few moments for her, not so tractable pet, to figure it out.

The dragon trotted alongside her.

"What a good girl," Mari could feel every bounce of her buttocks as she pushed her way down the sidewalk. It was hard, so hard. Her shirt chafed against her armpits. Her heart pounded in her ears with utter desperation. She could barely catch her breath, so she didn't try. Instead, she focused on breathing deeply through her nose and then out again through her mouth.

She pulled that air deep into her abdomen, then let it let itself out.

Her busy brain started to get out of the way.

It was hard to focus on anything but the strain of her body as she forced it to do something it really didn't think it was capable of. She knew she could do it. No matter how much it hurt, she could do it.

She could do anything.

She could survive anything.

Breath in, breath out.

Miss Kitty raced past her, scrambled up on a pole, and leaped.

The little dragon spread her wings. They were gossamer and thin, the light of the newly emerging sunrise peeking through the leather. They were bat's wings, red demon wings laced with the glowing red fire that ran through the dragon's veins.

Miss Kitty wobbled in the air.

Mari didn't miss a step.

She ran faster, turning the leash into a kite rope.

Miss Kitty soared behind her, up above in the air. She glowed, the red of her fire burning through the cracks of her skin, the lace of her wings. She inhaled and floated a little higher, the fire within providing the lift that she needed to soar.
