White Pearl<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To Isabella, David, Emma and Luke, the people in my story, and the real people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chapter 1 Mistakes <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It all started on a saturday night. He was in his bedroom, doing his homework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Knock Knock.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI thought I told you not to come into my room when I\u2019m doing my homework!\u201d He yelled. His eleven year old sister busted into his room, her dark hair was tangled. But her bright blue eyes were calm, even when her sixteen year old brother yelled at her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAll I need is to reduce this number,\u201d She said, pointing to her paper, as she added \u201cYou don\u2019t have to yell, Peter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Peter shook his head. \u201cGet out. GET OUT PEARL!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Peter always liked his privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A tear ran down Pearl\u2019s cheek. But she stood there, silently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, Pearl closed the oak door. Peter could tell he\u2019d gone too far. He could hear her bawling on her bed. Yelling, \u201cI just asked for help, can\u2019t he do that one tiny thing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n All Peter could do was hear the pain in Pearl\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course Peter loved his sister. But now all he would do was play video games, or read, all he would do was read. But he knew that he needed to make it up to her, and he knew just what to do… <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chapter 2 A Surprise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pearl loves reading just like Peter does, maybe even more. She said that she wants to be a writer, and a youtuber. Of course she is eleven now. But she\u2019s almost done with her first book, called A Drop Of Water Is A Pond<\/em>. She is a talented writer, Peter was sure of that. And he knew that she was done with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, he would use up all his money to get it published. Peter knew that was what Pearl always dreamed of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOMG! Thank you soooooo<\/em> much Peter! How could I ever repay you?\u201d Pearl said after their interview with the publisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All Peter could do was smile. If his sister was happy so was he. Even the other way around, if Pearl was sad so was Peter. It was like nothing could separate them. Two peas in a pod. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Peter was going to buy a new PC for his youtubing set, but he thought it was selfish of him, so he made Pearl\u2019s biggest dream come true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As they walked down town, Peter thought if he bought his PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gaming, youtubing, streaming. Pearl is waiting for her dream to come true, but it doesn\u2019t. Pearl thinks of how selfish Peter was, and is. And Always will be. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now their house was in sight. The red oak door was opened, and standing in the doorway, was their loving mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After everyone was asleep, Peter was still up, watching youtube videos. He sniffed. Hmmmm. Something isn\u2019t right. <\/em>Something smelled like burnt toast. But the smell grew stronger. Smelling like smoke<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, a fire awoke.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chapter 3 A Death To Remember<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Love. This family had lots of love. <\/em><\/strong>Love that could never change. Sure they made mistakes, but no matter what, this family will always love each other. Peter at first freaked out. Panic swelled in his noggin. Fear plastered his heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMOM!\u201d He yelled. His parents rushed into his bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d Peter\u2019s mom half yelled. Tears fell off Peter’s face and onto the bright blue blanket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI s-smell s-smoke I t-think.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh sweety, that was daddy, he burned some popcorn.\u201d Dad nodded<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSorry kiddo.\u201d He said, rufling Peter\u2019s hair, \u201cYour OK, right.? Nothing is going to happen to this happy family, so you’re safe. No need to worry. Oh, and did I mention that you\u2019re safe?\u201d Dad laughed. But Peter\u2019s gut told him that it isn\u2019t safe yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMom, my gut says-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSweety, nothing will hurt us. So calm down, please.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Peter still shook his head. He wasn\u2019t sure. Pearl was still asleep. And Peter couldn\u2019t tell if that was a good thing or a bad thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As Peter\u2019s parents left the room he saw a spark. Something that looked like fire. But Dad just burned popcorn\u2026 Or did he?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The fire grew and grew until the fire alarm went off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Peter knew the drill. He jumped up, and grabbed his phone, and his favorite stuffed animal. A dragon he named after Pearl. Peter called it <\/p>\n\n\n\n White Pearl.<\/em><\/strong> Because of her white scales. He ran out the door. But it was blocked, so he made his way toward the window. The fire grew and was along the side of the house.Peter heard Mom scream. Peter coughed and spatted the smoke from his lungs. He saw Dad and Mom outside. So he tried to unlatch the window and pull on the lever that would pull up the window and open it. It wouldn\u2019t budge! Oh come on! Not now. <\/em>Peter\u2019s head thumped from the smoke. He jabed at the latch with all his might. And he heard just the tiniest squeak and the window opened just enough for him to squeeze through. He sat on the windowsill. He was scared. Scared for his sister, for his dad, mom. He mustered all his strength and jumped out the window. As he sored, Peter could\u2019ve sworn he saw a man in Pearl\u2019s bedroom! As the flames engulfed Peter he fell and darkness flooded over him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Peter\u2019s eyes fluttered open. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMom, Dad, is everyone OK?\u201d He asked. Tears streamed down Mom\u2019s cheek, and onto the charred ground. While Dad just shook his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then the truth flooded over Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pearl never made it out of the house! <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chapter 4 The Sad Truth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Peter fell to his knees. And all of the pain came to his head as he realized his sister was dead. What am I going to do now? <\/em>Footsteps rushed as another pair of legs found their way in front of Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emma. Peter\u2019s girlfriend, a popular girl, many possibilities for a great future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat am I going to do now?\u201d Peter asked himself, as tears streaked his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNah, Nah. Nope. Peter, you have so many people who love you, I mean duh. We\u2019ll miss you sister. One hundred percent. We all love young Pearl. But, come back to the present.\u201d She kissed him on the cheek. Peter hugged Emma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThank you Emma. I can always count on you.\u201d Peter smiled. He sat up and brushed the tears away from his face. As Peter walked to the house, he saw something that was very odd. A round white ball sat in the middle of the burned down house, still alive and somehow not burned down with the rest of the belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat the heck! Look at this!\u201d Peter exclaimed. He traced the round egg like thing in his hand. Emma walks and takes Peter\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n David, another great friend of Peter, comes up and says hi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u00a1Hola hermano!\u201d David said. His accent is thick with spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh crap.\u201d David looks at the now charred house. He covers his mouth with his hand. His eyes lock with Emma\u2019s, \u201cIt\u2019s time.\u201d David says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Confusion tackles with fear in Peter’s head. \u201cWait, wait, wait. I\u2019m confused.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOf course you are Peter, but it\u2019s time that you met Pearl\u2019s world.\u201d Emma replied, \u201ctake my hand.\u201d Peter grabbed Emma\u2019s hand and David\u2019s. She pressed a button on her favorite bracelet that she has worn for three years now. It had pink charms, and light blue bands. There was a charm that held a round yellow sun-like shape. And it had a white dragon claw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWait what is that you just pressed on your bracelet?\u201d Peter asked Emma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCalm down Pete. I know you have a lot of questions but they will be answered. Hold on tight!\u201d Emma yelled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Like the speed of light Emma, David, and Peter were rushed into the thin air and Peter could see the black house no more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chapter 5 Sakarya <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n They fell on a hill, with grassy pastures surrounding them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGAH!\u201d Yelled David, \u201cI will n-e-v-e-r get used to that landing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emma fell like a graceful swan flying on the pure clear water. Her legs looked like she was walking down invisible stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh David. You\u2019ll live. You just need to learn how to stabilize yourself. Plus, I\u2019ve been in Sakarya a lot longer than you.\u201d Emma giggled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then a voice boomed in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWelcome to Sakarya, the land filled with magic and wonders. My name is Isabella the Courageous.\u201d She said<\/p>\n\n\n\n Peter stood up and locked eyes with Isabella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHello. I\u2019m Pe-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, yes. I know you Peter, brother of Pearl the Brave. Oh hi Emma, David. Glad I don\u2019t have to talk in this voice anymore to you two.\u201d She laughed. Her loud voice was replaced with a kind and fun voice instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emma walked over to Isabella and hugged her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh Isabella, how long has it been?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cUhhh, only like four days!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Peter\u2019s eyes traced back and forth between Emma and Isabella, he was in aww.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWait, What? Will someone please tell me what I\u2019m doing here?\u201d Peter asked, eyes looking at everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Isabella was the first to speak, \u201cLike I said, this is Sakarya.\u201d She said, \u201cWhere you\u2019ll find the most mysterious animals in the world. Oh and to mention, we have…DRAGONS!\u201d Isabella trew down a ball, and out came a dragon! It was blue and green, it\u2019s wings stretched out that looked like a thousand football fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is King Turtle of the Water Dragons. He lives in Lake Blue, with all the other Water Dragons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hello<\/em>. Peter jumped.Did you know that some dragons are smarter than humans? Hahaha<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWait, can he hear my thoughts?\u201d Peter asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Turtle looked almost offended. But he nodded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Turtle smiled at Peter. I like you, human. And yes, I can hear your thoughts. Hahahahaha. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTurtle became king at a very young age, and plus, he\u2019s my dragon!\u201d Isabella said. Peter nodded but he still couldn\u2019t understand what was going on at the moment. Peter came close to Turtle, and put his hand on Turtle\u2019s head. It was almost like he smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEmma, David can you call your dragons?\u201d Isabella asked<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emma nodded. But David said, \u201cNo, remember my dragon is a baby?\u201d David waved his hands in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOk then, David rides with me and Peter rides with Emma.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emma backed up from the groop and threw her own orb. And out popped a red dragon. Smoke steamed from it\u2019s nostrils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is Burn.\u201d Emma told Peter, \u201cSay hi Burn.\u201d Burn waved her talons at Peter. But it almost looked like she wanted to grab him and eat him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hello Peter. I hear you’re really<\/em> good friends with my Dragon Rider.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Peter nodded. He glanced at her scales. Red diamonds, with a hint of brown. She was gorgeous. Beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell don\u2019t just stand there. Aren\u2019t you going to get on?\u201d Emma pressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Burn kneeled and spread her wings out so Peter could climb onto her back. If he could get on that is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHold on Pete!\u201d Burn jumped up in the cold air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chapter 6 Freedom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Peter couldn\u2019t explain the feeling of cold air being rushed to your face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All Peter knew that it felt as if a thousand bees, or mosquitoes were stinging your face. It felt painful, but Peter thought it meant freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Freedom was what Peter always wanted. Freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of everything. He thought about the Bill of Rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where people got their independence. Where they got their love for one another. Peter would study the Bill of Rights at school for Social Studies. In the Bill, it said where people can come into your house, But they have to have a warrant.<\/em> That’s why Peter wanted to be a cop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn to protect his people and to just barge into homes. For fun. Maybe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chapter 7 When? What? Where?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As Peter was in the air, he thought of Pearl. She must be in some great place. Of course Peter would go there someday. But when?<\/p>\n\n\n\n That was his ultimate question. When will he join his sister? Where will he go? In a deep, dark place where only evil lies? Or will he go to the place where there is endless happiness? He had so many questions that someday will be answered. He had no idea when, what or where. Peter will see his sister again. It\u2019s not like he will live forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chapter 8 King of All Dragons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd touchdown!\u201d Emma shouted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Burn landed her talons on the grass and knelt down so Emma and Peter could get off. Isabella and David were in front of some sort of a temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why are they here? Almost as if Isabella read Peter\u2019s mind she said, \u201cThis is the Hatchery.\u201d She said, \u201cThis is where dragonets are born. Well, most dragons anyway.\u201d She suddenly becomes very interested in her shoes. Well that answered one of Peter\u2019s questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" White Pearl To Isabella, David, Emma and Luke, the people in my story, and the real people.
