Above is Sam as a human.

Present day-

Francis hates me. He's made that very clear in the last ten years. He's making it very clear as he chases me into the night.

He's been chasing me since that night. He's hated me for ten years, which is nothing for dragons.

I flew as fast as I can, losing him pretty quickly. I don't stop until I close in on the small town nearby. Shifting back to look like a human, I find the clothes I've hidden in the trees, for this exact reason.

I've been waiting for him to find me. I've been in this town for 8 years now. For the first few years I didn't stop running, but I found this town and stayed, waiting for him.

After I put the clothes on I run toward the town. Slipping in a cafe I sit in the back. I waited for hours, only ordering a soda.

Three hours after I had run from him, I finally let myself relax. Reclining my head, I thought back to the past.
