I went back to the farm without a word, my eyes haggard.

I squeezed my pillow and started moaning...

I called my mom and dad human in my delirium. I was inconsolable.

Luke came running when he saw that something was wrong.

I jumped around his neck and squeezed him

"Hey, wait, you're hurting me..."

Me: "Luc, I'd like to call you Dad... SNIFFF"

Celine also arrived and I handed the wing over: "Celine, MAMAANNN, you're my mamaaann!"(Mother)

The adults looked at each other and understood that a tragedy was happening.

Celine: "Look, whatever happened, we're here!"

I said, "It's too hard."

And I put a blue sweater full of blood at Luc's feet.

"Hiiii, that's horrible!!!!!!"

I faint from fatigue like a child exhausted from crying too much.

They threw themselves together to carry me to bed. I sucked my "thumb".

Luc came back to the station with the sweater for a DNA comparison and, during the night, the news fell.

The missing family in Arlon was the one whose sweater had been found. The blood at the scene matched well. No doubt about it.

I went back to see my mother but especially the children, now that the 10 days had passed.

Rudia:" Ah, Ruby, you're just in time, you can play with them but be careful, they don't have the sense of value you have. I'll get some food."

I, as if nothing had happened, as if it had been a nightmare and I had just woken up, made no comments. I was following Mom's instructions.

GRAOH! GRAHH! did Azur and Ochria.

I jumped on them and wanted to play but they were afraid of me!

Azur, Azur, my handsome boy! I'm your big sister Ruby! I spoke to them in draconian and then hugged Ochria, my little sister!

I stuck to them and started singing lullabies! and stroking them.

They were stuck to me and I started to sleep by rocking them.

Then they looked at each other and snorted at me and gave me lots of licks that I gave them back.

Then Azur bit me and Ochria too.

"Hey, kids, don't chew on me! I'm your sister!

Then, suddenly, the teeth came out of their gums and Azur bit me on the neck and Ochria did the same and their sharp teeth pulled out a flap of skin and I wanted to free myself but they really wanted to eat me alive!

Shield launched!

I was pissing blood where a flap was torn off me but they got excited on the sphere and I looked at them with horror.

"M MMM Monsters!"

I took refuge on an overhang, out of their reach and had to wait for mother.

She arrived with a choir of screams!

I was terrified! The little ones would jump and slide along the stone

Rudia: "Oh, there you are! Did you have a good time? They're cute, aren't they?

Wait, I'm paralyzing them!"

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

Two children my age were screaming and covered in wounds.

I was jumping between Mom and them!

NO, please, Mom???

No reaction!

"But you're bleeding hard, honey! How did you get this?"

I stretched out my wings to separate the frightened children from my mother

"It was Azur and Ochria who tried to eat me!"

Rudia: "Ah, that's what I was afraid of!..."

She laid her paw on me and my wound closed. But I pushed her away: "What is that!??" pointing to the 2 children crying and paralyzed.

Rudia grabbed the kid and threw her to Azur and Ochria and I saw something disgusting!

They pinched the screaming girl but no sound came out because of the paralysis and then the spell stopped and her screams knocked me down.

They had ripped the skin off her belly and Ochria was eating her alive guts, her head tucked into the little girl's belly.

Azur was eating her thighs.

Rudia threw the boy at me: For you! EAT! That's an order! If you want your brother and sister to consider you one of them. Besides, you need it for your monster heart. It's very nutritious!

Mother grabbed me and stuck me with my mouth open and she crushed the boy like an orange and his "juice flowed into the bottom of my mouth"

I prayed to Tiamat to give me strength to kill this monster that was my mother and I saw the mother's memories.

I saw her smell Eric and spot the cable car. I saw through her eyes and felt her joy, her murderous fury and her need for human blood. Then I saw the terrified face of mom, dad, grandmother and their taste! When she tore them apart, screaming in her jaw...

Tiamat, Tiamat, I can't believe you're as mean as Mom! Help me, I beg you. Dragons aren't monsters, are they?

I felt my fire increase tenfold and I sprayed everything that entered my mouth.

I managed to free myself from a mother who was surprised and I bit her on the paw and managed to make her bleed and lightning came out of my mouth and paralyzed her big paw.

Groaaaaar!

I rushed to the exit and turned around: "Murderer, I never want to see you again! Neither you nor your monsters and I turned to the 2 babies: You must not eat people. I will teach you to be happy."

Mother went crazy: "How dare you! Raise your claws against your mother!!?" And she was about to crush me.

I: "I prayed to Tiamat who gave me her strength to free me. I could have killed you!"

She put her paw on me and I was crushed but I resisted the pressure because I prayed to Tiamat all the time and I could lift all her weight and I bit her paw and she screamed in pain. Blood flowing.

I made a mean face and a voice passed through me, a terrible and monstrous voice.

The babies stopped squealing and Rudia froze with fear and began to lie on her stomach in submission: "Forgive Grandmother..."

"Rudia, my child, you have not understood anything. I hear your pleas, but you have broken what cannot be fixed. You confuse evil with anger and sadness. Leave the little girl alone, she's suffered enough as it is. And don't try to get back at her or her friends. Try to put the pieces back together even if it's impossible. And even if humans are our enemies, stop sacrificing innocent people, especially children."

I passed out, completely drained and dreamt of Tiamat taking care of me and her five heads giving me maternal love. I let myself be cuddled and cried between her heads and she understood my grief and sang me an old lullaby.

"Sing it and I'll help you, sweetie. From now on you are my daughter "

and each head gave me its attribute and golden symbols appeared on my horns.

When I woke up, I was by the stream, full of people looking at me and not daring to approach.

I looked around but I was no longer interested in the nest. I needed human warmth. A lot of heat and I approached the crowd, whining and a tourist touched me and then tried a caress and I said "Again!"

They were surprised but I showed my contentment and soon everyone was on top of me stroking and comforting me. And I tell everyone that I was Emily and that my dragon mother murdered my family and made me like that. A monster!

Then I shouted, "Come on, she's the one who ate Suske and Piet."

The local TV arrived and we went to the lair. It's right there. The angry crowd had taken sticks and farmers from forks and scythe. The police rushed and had to contain the crowd.

No one could see anything. The cave was there, visible to me, but not to them.

"See! It's witchcraft!"

I planted my claws in a membrane that I tore and people, for the first time could see magic.

The lair was revealed with a sinister face and a stench of death.

It was scary.

I took a torch from the first human and moved forward and there was the nest, empty but the bones and bodies of the children, or what was left of them.

Then I heard a groaaaaar and I saw mother shave us to the ground, the 2 little ones in her paws.

"You will pay me for your betrayal, Ruby!"

And she went east.

I never see her again.

People were terrified.

She had escaped through the back of the lair with the children.

The police invaded the premises and only Kardon and Luc were allowed to enter.

Luke: "Emily, that's enough! Go home! Go home! NOW!" he ordered me!

I flew away and crashed into the garden, into the pool and floated like a drowned hen.

It was a disaster.

Celine and Eric came to me and hugged me.

My Godfather (Uncle) came to find me and my cousins too.

Luc and Kardon stayed all day on the spot.

Security cords prevented access to the valley. The parents watched the film and saw that I was struggling to protect the children and that I was being beaten and forced

The parents arrived in the evening in tears and asked for explanations.

Luc came back at the same time and wanted to answer in my place but I agreed to answer them.

I told them the truth and they were a little relieved that they had at least one monster against another monster.

De Piet's mother, in approximate French:" BUT you're not going to do like your mother later? Huh?"

Me:" My mother was murdered in the cable car and my adopted mother crushed in her house...This monster turned me into a monster and I can't even reincarnate. I'm sorry, I did everything I could to save the children but it's 10 times my size and I couldn't do anything. I bit her and burned her a little bit if it makes you feel better. I want to avenge my family too!"

Piet and Suske's mom: "Why were you sleeping there then?"

Me: "I didn't know about Mom and Dad, I thought it was only my adoptive parents whose little one died by accident, Philippe and Eric, that's what she said. And that's not Eric's version, but I stayed mainly to learn to defend myself as a dragon and to attend the birth of my little brother and sister. But they are monsters like their mothers. They tried to eat me and they tore me apart here and there. It still hurts! Mother treated me and tried to force me to become a man-eater so that my brothers would recognize me, but it's too hard. I'm not a cannibal, I have the body of a dragon but I still have my human heart... I couldn't, those screams, those cries, I couldn't do anything! She then tried to kill me! but as I had prayed to her grandmother, an even crazier demon, I was able to push her away and inflict a scar that can't be cured! It was the image of your children that gave me the strength to mark her. But she fears her "grandmother" and she will never come back here again! I promise you that. Every day I will pray for your children for the evil that this creature that is no longer my mother has done to you."

Luc and Celine cried and held me on my shoulders, I stood up straight and with my veil to look more human. I didn't want to see any more red on me, in the room or anywhere.

I hated red! Blood! Scales!
