Chapter Sixteen

Tom Palmer had shifted into a dragon right in front of my eyes. The image of his expanding shape played in my mind on constant repeat and still I had to fight the voice in my head that said none of it was real.

I twirled the ring on my finger, remembering how it had repelled Tom. The more I found out about it, the more complicated it all seemed. The ring and the sword belonged to the warden, but why? What was their purpose?

I lifted my head, stared at the woods through the passenger side window of my Mustang. There were two hours of daylight left, and I was determined to look for Dad.

My mother will kill your father. She will tear him to pieces if you don’t stop, Tom had said.

Tara Palmer was responsible for this. I had figured out as much, but now I had confirmation from her own son.

Her son. A dragon.

Did that mean Tara Palmer was also one?

Mercedes had talked about a dragon that she’d called a female. She said her name was ancient, and I was lucky to see her true form and not die.

It had to be Tara Palmer. She was behind all of this, and I couldn’t say I was surprised.

Tom’s warning was hard to ignore. It was obvious he believed his mother would let Dad live if I stayed out of this, but I didn’t trust that woman farther than I could throw her.

I couldn’t leave Dad’s life in her hands. She was the kind of person who strapped innocent dogs to metal tables, then buried them in her backyard when they died.

A shiver made its way up my spine, a stream of sinister scenarios coming to life inside my head.

I didn’t want to imagine my friends or my father with tubes sticking out of their necks while Tara Palmer hovered over them with a wicked glint in her cold blue eyes, licking her lips as if they were food!

Had she taken my friends to turn them into dragon snacks? I had no idea what a creature Tom’s size ate, but even a whole person didn’t seem enough. Or could he eat a hamburger in his human form and then be full as a dragon?

Shaking my head to chase away my insane thoughts, I got out of the Mustang, sword in hand. There’d been a leather scabbard at the bottom of the chest, and the sword now rested inside, keeping me safe from the sharp blade.

That the edge was still sharp was an absolute mystery, same as the fact I intended to wield it against dragons, at least two of them, but possibly more. Good thing I had on the ring, the same one that could burn the big creatures and send them scurrying away like scared squirrels. This gave me some confidence, which I needed badly.

Slinging the sword over my back, I tightened the strap across my chest. With a deep inhale, I entered the woods.

There were several caves around Summers Lake, but I didn’t go to any of those.
