Freddie had to give the human credit—she didn't scare easily.

He'd probably have to clean the classroom for a month, plus whatever his mum thought he deserved as punishment, for sneaking away from the group, but Daisy was his partner for the day. He may not like it and wished he had someone else, but dragon-shifters were supposed to keep their word. He couldn't let her go alone and get hurt.

His dragon sighed. No one would hurt her.

I didn't say someone would do it. But who knows what abandoned place she'd find, and then get trapped.

That would be fun, looking for new hiding spots. Maybe we can try that next, after this.

I think Mr. MacLeod will notice us gone soon.

Then maybe she can come back to Stonefire. She's fun, and brave, and could teach us many things.

Not wanting to get too distracted by his dragon, Freddie told him to hush. He finally reached the edge of the rock wall surrounding the main landing area and peeked around the side.

There were two people putting on clothes, and another male already naked and moving toward the center of the area to shift.

The person in the middle was one of the younger dragon-shifters, Keith. He was friends with Freddie's older brother.

He probably wouldn't tell on him.

Freddie raced over to Keith, and said, "Hey, wait a second."

Keith turned around with a frown. "What are you doing here, Freddie? Did your brother bring you?"

"No." Keith opened his mouth, but Freddie hurried to say, "But just a second, okay? I'm showing one of the humans around today and she really wants to see a dragon up close. Can you shift and let her see you?"

Keith surveyed the space. "Where is everyone else?"

Freddie tried not to lie, but for some reason, he wanted the human to think he could do anything. Maybe to make dragon-shifters look brilliant or something.

So he said, "Well, we're each in different areas. So I'm not sure."

Keith studied him a second. "I don't think that's the full truth, but I'll help impress your friend. There's something special about being the first dragon they ever see close up."

Keith wasn't quite a full-grown dragon yet, but Freddie wasn't going to risk making him mad. "I'll be right back."

Freddie jogged toward the wall again, grateful no one else stopped him. If it'd been later, during the evening, then the landing area would've been really busy.

He reached Daisy and motioned. "Come on. We need to be quick, before someone catches us."

She nodded silently. It was weird for her to be quiet.

His dragon snorted. I thought you wanted her to stop talking.

Some, but not completely. If she doesn't talk, then I can't tease her. And teasing is fun.

Ignoring his dragon's laughter, he ran back down along the wall and heard Daisy behind him.

He was happy that Keith was in his dragon form already. According to his teacher, humans were embarrassed about being naked for some reason, and he didn't want Daisy shrieking and drawing attention.

Once he reached Keith, he glanced to see Daisy a few feet away, staring up with wide eyes and her mouth open.
