Schorl's eyes widened as he saw the girl's hand covered in his blood. No... not again!
The dragon roared as the scientists attempted to push him back into his cage. He was being more difficult than usual and his thrashing was causing blood to be sprayed in every direction. The beast had just undergone a long experimentation process and was enraged due to the many hours of pain he had endured. The yelling was intense and echoing through the halls, booming footsteps of the dragons giant feet landing on the ground sent vibrations through the scientist's bodies and finally, the beast's massive tail swung like a hose let loose with the water turned on completely. "GET OSCAR! HE IS THRASHING TOO MUCH AND WILL BLEED OUT. ONCE WE GET HIM IN HIS CELL HE WILL NEED TO BE HEALED IMMEDIATELY" the voices yelled over top of the dragon's thrashing.
A teenage boy was retrieved and reluctantly pushed toward the angry beast. "Come on kid, do your job or he's going to die!" the scientist yelled at the boy. "But... but he's too dangerous, he's out of control!" the boy replied in fear. Schorl continued to frenzy until several darts were shot at him, the dragon began to slow down and the scientists were able to herd him into his cell. As Schorl was confined, Oscar was pushed toward him. "Come on kid, do your magic, we need this one to live he's the strongest we've had yet!" "B-B-B-UT! I can't!" the boy shrieked in horror. "LOOK KID HE'S BEEN SUBDUED. Do your job or we will kill you instead!" the scientist replied, throwing the kid into the cell. Oscar looked at the giant beast as he seemed to have calmed down, he stepped closer to him slowly as tears streamed down his face. The boy's hands reached out toward Schorl and one lightly touched his hide. It was then that the dragon's eyes widened suddenly and defensively turned quickly to snap at the body in his cage, thinking it was a scientist. As the boy came into view the dragon stopped and stared at the teenager staring at him with fear. Drip. A streak of black and red rolled off the boys forehead, down his cheek until it fell to the ground. Oscar's eyes widened, knowing what had happened; Schorl roared but no scientist came to help the child. Over the next couple of hours, the boy became weaker and Schorl watched as he died, completely helpless.
"I WILL NOT LET YOU DIE AGAIN!" The dragon roared, adrenaline now kicking in and causing the enormous beast to gain rapid strength. He began ramming the cage over and over again despite it's magical shocks to his body until the bars began to crack until they finally gave out as they projected across the room. The guards would be arriving any minute now at the commotion. Schorl burst through the opening, picking up Pearl with his massive wing and placing her in the corridor. "I will get you out of here, child... You will not die like this. I promise." The dragon spread his massive black wings, it had been so long since he had taken flight. He looked down at Pearl, as if she was his responsibility now. "We have to go now, you have to trust me... get on."
