The lonely cabin looked so beautiful and ancient. And there she stood.
Once again the magnificent creature who stood nearly seven feet tall was before me. The build of a horse the wings of a dragon, eyes black as night and instead of a mane there were spines with soft silk across it which also replaced her tail. Feathers that were black as night covered her body then turned to scales at her legs, and webbed talons replaced what should have been hooves.
The lake was reflecting the moon onto her feathers. I walked to her …show more content…
Then she repeated. ""Wake up." and I started to drift. No I was falling! I fell into the lake with a splash.
I awoke with a start. My head hitting the window. My mom giggled from the driver seat. "Wake up, we're almost there sweetie." She let out another giggle and went back to the road.
I could still smell the pine trees in the air, but that happened every time I have this dream. But this was different, I never before have touched her. It was so real, I could still feel the warmth down my back and and her feathers under my fingers.
But now that i'm awake I began to wonder about the campgrounds we were going to. Mom wouldn't tell me anything, just that she went there as a kid.

Lunch! I looked at my watch and it was almost one in the afternoon. It was only eight o'clock when we got here. I guess time really does fly by when you're working hard.
I changed into my swimsuit and headed over to the dock.
I found some oars in the small shed and loosened the rope tying the boat to the dock, and then got to rowing the boat out to middle of the lake. I threw in the rock and rope that we use as an anchor. And it sank, and sank, and sank and kept sinking, and it was almost at the forty foot marker when it finally stopped.
And I screamed "Oh my God! Thirty eight feet!" I saw her run out of the house and when she reached me she almost had a scared look to her.
"Are you ok?!" She asked in a panicked state.
"Yes mother i'm fine I was yelling because the lake is thirty-eight feet
