Asleep/Chapter 4

Mikaela's POV
That night, people arrived just like always; Jason, Piper, Mom, Dad, Frank, Hazel, Clarrisse, Chris... but the dragon was new.

Around sunset, just a few hours after everyone else arrived, a shadow blocked out the sun, effectively getting everyone's attention. When the thing landed, in the center of the central rectangle of cabins, it became visible as the coppery form of a bronze dragon.

Piper gasped. Jason's mouth fell open. Everyone else froze with shock.

The rays of the setting sun bounced off the metal surface creating a blinding reflection, so I looked away. Then someone who I guessed had been riding the dragon came down, and Piper suddenly broke out of her trance and tackled the skiny Latino boy in a bone-crushing hug.
