That's it, so thank u for reading up to this point!! Vote, Comment, and stay cool MY ENDERDRAGONS!! :3

Things aren't always as they seem. The city looks safe, within its stone walls, and police. The forest looks lush, and populated with creatures. But we made a mistake. We created something, many something's. We were greedy, we had created life, we played God, and now the something's, were free. Now the world was going to burn.

(Jerome's POV)

I scrambled up the tree, my claws scratching the bark. We had to get packed up and leave, but there was NO WAY that was happening.

We had lived here, for basically our entire lives. This was my home, and I was not about to give it up.

I know Violet just wants the best for us, but she has to look at our point of view.

Then a acrid smell wormed its way up my nose, sharp, and smoky. I snorted, and then looked around, my ears pricked.

It was smoke. I was smelling smoke.

I burst into action, jumping, and clawing my way to the top of the tree. I finally got to the peak, and looked out over the sea of leaves.

I saw the City. A huge plume of smoke was rising from it.

There was a fire. A fire in the city. I turned, and looked in the direction of the Hybrid Center, and saw multiple bird like figures, with a black smoke cloud hovering over the Center.

Shit.

I leaped off the branch I was on, grabbing another branch on my way down, and swinging onto another tree, and falling to the ground. I sprung to my feet, and dashed off to find Allie.

I saw her helping Mitch gather his things.

"ALLIE!" I bellowed. She looked at me in surprise. "GET VIOLET!! HURRY!! THE HYBRID CENTER IS ON FIRE!!"

Her eyes widened, and leaped off the bridge, flying off in pursuit of Violet, Dan and Darcy.

Mitch looked worried.

"Are we still going to leave?" He wondered. I climbed the tree, and stood on the bridge, in front of him.

I wrapped my arms around him, and nuzzled my face into his shoulder. His warmth, and scent calmed me a little.

"No." I said quietly. He laughed when I growled.

"I'm not going anywhere Jerome." He said.
"I know." I said, pulling back, and giving him a quick peck on his lips. He blushed.

But I had a pit of uneasiness in my stomach.

Something was terribly, terribly, wrong.

And it was going to ruin everything.
