2 Dragon Hound

CHAPTER 2

Dragon Hound Lucas yawned over his pancakes. "What's up, sleepyhead?" asked his best friend, Clara. She had come to the castle early with her mother, who worked for Queen Tasha. Lucas rubbed his eyes and sat up in his chair. "Ruskin and I had a late night," he said. Clara sat down at the table. "How come?"

Lucas told Clara all about the weird sounds, the mysterious chill in the hallway, the glowing light, and bumping into André. "Wow," Clara said. "That does sound creepy, though Ruskin doesn't seem nearly as tired as you." The dragon was busy scratching and sniffing at one of the dining room doors.

"Ruskin, no!" the prince scolded. He didn't want the young dragon getting in trouble with his parents. Ruskin listened to his friend and stopped scratching but kept sniffing at the door. Clara stood and walked over to Ruskin. "He really wants whatever is behind here." In one smooth move, Clara pulled the handle and Ruskin escaped through the opening. Lucas leaped up. He was wide awake now. "What is it?" Clara peered down the hallway as a blue light disappeared around a corner. "The glowing light —it's back! And Ruskin chased after it!"

Lucas quickly charged into the hall with Clara right behind him. Soon they caught sight of Ruskin's tail flying around the next bend. Then they lost sight of him again. Every time they caught a glimpse of the dragon, he'd disappear down another hallway, chasing after the light. "This castle goes on forever!" Clara shouted.
