It was early in the morning. Around two or three o'clock and Valaina couldn't sleep a bit. Throwing a long coat over her soft, pale green nightshirt she snuck out for a walk and ended up at the cliff. She didn't think anyone would be around this late at night, and figured it would be a good place to just be alone and enjoy the night air.
"Looks like I'm not the only night owl," Jesse said, walking up behind Valaina. "I'm guessing you can't sleep either, huh?"
He smiled slightly at her for a moment, then looked up at the night sky, hands in his pockets. After a few moments of silence, he looked at her again. "I'm Jesse, by the way, Jesse Miler. What's your name?"
He smiled slightly at her for a moment, then looked up at the night sky, hands in his pockets. After a few moments of silence, he looked at her again. "I'm Jesse, by the way, Jesse Miler. What's your name?"
"I'm Valaina," she said holding out her hand. "It's nice to meet you. I love it at night. It's so peaceful and quiet."
Marine came down from overhead"You aren't."She said to Jesse"If you want me to leave I will,though." Marine was coming back to the place the burn on her back had started. "Oh,and Jesse you won't be seeing anymore haunted rocks!"Marine chuckled.She walked over to the other girl."Hey!I'm Marine.And you are..."
Jesse shook her hand. "Nice to meet you, Valaina." He smiled once again. "Yeah... I like the night too for the exact same reasons you mentioned.... it's nice to get away sometimes, isn't it? Away from all the people, all the noise, everything..."
Jesse looked at Marine. "You... you were the talking rock?" he blinked for a moment, then laughed a little. "Nice trick... just don't scare me too much next time, alright? And you don't have to leave, don't worry."
Jesse looked at Marine. "You... you were the talking rock?" he blinked for a moment, then laughed a little. "Nice trick... just don't scare me too much next time, alright? And you don't have to leave, don't worry."
"Hi Marine, I'm Valaina. Nice to meet you." She said a little confused.
"What's this about rocks? Am I missing something here?"
"What's this about rocks? Am I missing something here?"
Marine smiled"Sorry!"POP!She was a little owl."HoooHoo"She flew and landed on his shoulder."Marine started to fly into the night sky.POP!It sounded as if somthing that was heavy was dropping.POP!"Do you want to know a bit about my dragon?It has a scar on its back.Dragons have one thing that is their masters and it automaticly transfers to them.In this case It's the burn on my back.But I haven't seen Streak in awhile.
Jesse looked at Valaina. "I was out here the other day, sat on a rock... and as it turns out, that rock was Marine!" He began to laugh a little.
His eyes became wide. That scar... Marine's dragon was the one that had kidnapped Lexie?!
"Tell your dragon its go an enemy..." he said, his voice as cold as ice. "And that it better learn not to kidnap people."

Valaina began to feel like she was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to take a walk, she thought to herself.
She cleared her throat. "Maybe I should get going," she said uncomfortably.
She cleared her throat. "Maybe I should get going," she said uncomfortably.
"Streak?What?Who?When?Lexie?Kidnapped?"Marine looked confused."Streak never told me she kidnapped Lexie..."She looked at the ground and shrugged."Forget it"Marine knew she would stay but she would not talk to Jesse any more.She jumped off the cliff as she had practiced when Everto was watching her.....POP!It was impossible to tell which rock was Marine as there were millions.
