Just a one chapter syory I wrote for the fun of it.


A young man named Dylan, who lived in Bakersfield California, finally got his one week paid vacation after a year of working his full time job. Dylan had plan spending his vacation at his most favorite place, Kern River with some friends of his. Their names where Michael, Jessica, and Tim. The river was not too far from Bakersfield, and it was a wonderful place for a vacation.

As he packed up the bed of his pick up truck, his excitement began to grow. All that was left to do was to get his ice chest, and his revolver in case he runs into a bear or a cougar. After all, it's common sense to have a weapon when you're in such a large forest such as the Sequoia National Forest.

Dylan came back out of his house, with a small locked case, containing the revolver, and a small bag of ammo. He put it in the back seat of his pickup truck waiting for his friends to meet up with him. About an hour passed by, and his friends finally arrived. Dylan waved at them when he got into his truck, and was now on his way to his favorite spot on the river, fallowed by his friends who where fallowing him.

About two hours passed by as they arrived along his favorite camping spot. Dylan got out of his truck, pulled down his tailgate, and began unloading his truck.

"Hey Dylan, the river looks a little high don't you think?" Tim asked.

"Yah it's normal for it to be a little high. Even though it's in the middle of the summer, the river doesn't get low until early August. However it is still low enough to swim in. The current is a little fast still, but it's manageable as long as you're a good swimmer", Dylan said.

The camp gear was unloaded, and now the four friends where pitching up there tents. After the tents where pitched, a fire pit was made, and their early dinner was ready to eat, they readied their fishing rods and did some fishing. Dylan always liked to fly fish, and he was good at it. He always fished near the rapids in the river. Within an hour, he already maxed out on his five fish limit. He returned to camp after sunset, and he was curious how many Tim, Jessica, and Michael caught.

"Hey guys, how many did you catch?" Dylan asked...

"I got four", Jessica said.

"I got one big one", Michael said.

"I didn't catch a thing", Tim said.

"It's alright, you can try again in the morning Tim. It's your first time camping out here. Oh, have a beer". Dylan said.

"Get us one as well!" Jessica said as she was sitting next to Michael.

Dylan grabbed four cans of beer and handed it to his friends.

They talked for each other for a few more hours, continuing to drink beer. Finally they all went to their tents waiting for morning.

The fallowing morning, Dylan and his friends did some more fishing, and in the afternoon they swam in the river, fallowed by more fishing in the evening. What they didn't notice was that they where also being watched by something. After another day of the same routine, on the fallowing day, Dylan and his friends decided to take a hike in the woods. As Dylan's friends where preparing themselves for the hike, they noticed Dylan was next to his truck holding a metallic object, and putting something in it. Tim was very curious and he walked up to Dylan, noticing Dylan was loading his revolver.

"What's that for!?!? Tim asked.

"It's my 357 magnum. Just in case we run into trouble like a bear or worse, a cougar. bears usually just run off when they see humans, however that is also not always the case. But if we run into a cougar also called a mountain lion, chances are it will try and attack". Dylan said.

"Oh, well I'm a little scared of guns. However, I think I'm more scared of cougars". Tim said.

"No worries, Tim. Chances are we won't run into any of those. But this is just incase if by a small chance we do run into one". Dylan said.

Tim and Dylan met up with Michael and Jessica to take their hike.

About two hours into the hike, Dylan and his friends where in a single file line on a narrow trail. Michael was leading the line, fallowed by Tim, Jessica, and Dylan who was at the end of the line. after another fifteen minutes latter something happened. Dylan made a loud scream, and the other three heard one gunshot. But Dylan was gone, and no where to be seen. The only think left was his revolver he dropped when he was jumped by something. The three who where left felt fear strike their hearts. Michael, Jessica, and Tim began calling for his name. Jessica picked up Dylan's revolver.

"Come on guys, lets go find Dylan", Jessica said.

Jessica, Michael, and Tim searched for Dylan for about an hour, yet they found nothing. Therefore, they went to report to the Forest Service that Dylan was missing.

Meanwhile...

Dylan was being drug into a cave by a large black creature. The creature put her claws around Dylan's throat, and Dylan began to grasp for air, he kept his eyes closed waiting for the final blow that would end his existence on this world.

Yet instead of an ending blow, he heard a powerful voice with a slight feminine sound to it say, so why would a human and his friends be walking in my forest, my territory. I know they like to camp at the river, and I'm ok with that. Yet you and your friends got too close, little one". The voice said with a slight hiss to it.

"My friends and I where just hiking, we meant no offense". Dylan said with his eyes still closed.

He felt the claws and a scaly palm release his neck. Dylan opened his eyes, and his mouth hung wide open. He saw a black scaly body, as he looked up, he realized it was a dragon. Her blue scales and bright green serpentine eyes looked directly into his eyes.

"D...Drr... Dra..." was all he could say due to the fact he was both in great awe, and petrifying fear.

"Dragon? Thats what you meant to say right"? The dragon asked.

Dylan still could not seem to speak, so he just nodded his head instead.

"Well, my name is Enya, what might your name be. Please relax a little, that way you can actually speak little one", Enya said.

"Dylan... I knew a Dylan three hundred years ago back when I was in England. He was very tasty", Enya said.

"You ate him!?!? Why? And why eat me? And just how do you even exist"?Dylan asked.

"Well, you see you humans have a certain texture that we dragons find absolutely irresistible". Enya said.

Dylan an audible gulp, knowing his fate is sealed.

"However, I like my prey to have a sporting chance". Enya said without answering Dylan's last question.

"And the sporting chance?" Dylan hesitantly asked.

"I'll wait in my cave for thirty minutes. I'll cover my eyes, and pinch my nostrils closed that way I cannot see you, or smell you. Then once you see me close my eyes, thats when you run. You will not escape me however, I can assure you of that. However, if you impress me, you will live". Enya said with a toothy grin.

"And if i say no to this?" Dylan asked.

"I'll swallow you whole, and let you slowly dissolve in my stomach. It'll be a very slow and painful death. Then I'll hunt your friends down and they'll meet the same fate as you. However, if you play the game and fail to impress me, your death will be completely painless I promise you that. But if you win by impressing me, you will live". Enya said.

Dylan gave out a loud sigh. "I guess I have no choice. Ok, I'll play your sick game".

"Excellent! We begin now", Enya said.

Enya covered her eyes and closed her nostrils as she said she would. Dylan took off running as fast as he can. Five minutes passed by, Dylan realized it isn't running that'll save him from something that can fly. He saw a bunch of poison oak near by. This gave him an idea. He covered himself with it. Even though it'll become unpleasant and very irritating, it may save his life. He knew if Enya caught him and tried to eat him, the poison oak would make her throat swell up and she'd suffocate. However, even though she'd die, Dylan would also die as well if she ate him. So he wasn't taking chances, He took off his shirt, rubbed his stomach with poison oak as well, and he headed towards a pond. He threw his shirt at the water's edge hoping it may be a distraction to her, he theorized dragons would rely on smell more than any other sense while hunting. He wrote in the dirt by the shirt he threw at the ground, "tricked you".

Then another idea popped into his head. maybe the closer he is to danger, the further away he is from harm. It's just almost crazy enough to work.

Dylan climbed up on top of Enya's cave. hiding in some brush waiting for her to quickly take flight in the opposite direction of where he was at. It has been thirty minutes as Enya counted. She ran out of the cave, and leaped in the air, letting out an unholy shriek. As Dylan predicted, she was fallowing his old trail first. When it was safe, Dylan wen't back into Enya's cave. He figures sense he was there before, his scent is already there. So of course he knows this is the last place she'd ever search. Not to mention prey would never logically hide in a predator's own home. As he thought before, be close to ganger, and maybe be further away from arm.

Enya, the huntress was on his trail. She found Dylan's scent near the poison oak, as well as seeing his tracks The sent then took her to the pond he was by.

She saw his shirt, and looked into the pond. She found nothing but some natural trout. But there was no human.

"Maybe the shirt is a clue". Enya's intuition told her. She looked at the shirt, and also by the shirt. She found words drawn in the dirt. "tricked you" she read.

"Oh wow! this human is fun!" She thought to herself in excitement.

She fallowed Dylan's scent back to where her cave is, and she stoped seemingly confused.

"Impossible, no human as smart as this one would be dumb enough to do that". Enya thought to herself. She once again fallowed the trail again, but it still lead her back to her cave. She tried one more time, realizing Dylan made some sort of scent puzzle and she had to figure it out. Once again it led her to her own home. She made a very loud sigh thinking she lost him.

"That was the first time a human outsmarted me". Enya thought to herself.

She walked into her cave and laid down in frustration. She can still smell Dylan's scent mocking her in her cave. Then she realized where the scent was coming from. A corner in the cave and was completely dark there, she fallowed it and was smelling. Her nose bumped into Dylan.

With not even the lightest hint of fear in his voice, Dylan said "you gave up way too soon".

"Dylan!?!? What are you doing here?" Enya said.

"I knew this would be the last place in the whole world you'd expect to find me. So I figured, hide in the predators home. Play a mind game on the dragon. Sometimes the closer you are to danger, the further you are from harm. Are you impressed? Dylan asked.

No, not really. Hiding in the predator's home delay's the inevitable, problem is your plan was so simple, I just overlooked the possibility". Enya said...

"Now thats a lie. I see it on your face. If you're not impressed, eat me then". Dylan said...

No you're right. I am impressed. Very impressed actually. However I want to lick you. Just to get a taste if you know what I mean". Enya said.

"If you do, it could kill you. I'm covered in poison oak oil. If you even lick me, it could still get to your throat, and it'd cause your throat to swell up and you'd suffocate". Dylan replied.

"Wow, you really are impressive. Ok, you're free to go human. Ummm, I know some herbs that can get rid of that if you wish to have my help". Enya said

"Yah, this itching and burning is really beginning to get on my nerves". Dylan said.

Enya went out and got some different plants. She returned to the cave, and put the herbs in her mouth. She chewed until both the herbs and the saliva formed a paste. She the covered Dylan in the areas he rubbed himself. Night fell once Enya was done. An hour latter, the rashes, the itching and burning where all gone.

As it got latter in the night, Dylan became a little cold, and Enya noticed this.

"You cold Dylan?" She asked.

"Yah, a little, but I'll manage", Dylan said

"Well you don't even have a shirt sense it's still over at that pond, I could keep you warm. It'd be a little scary, but you'll be unharmed I promise". Enya said with a small smirk trying not to be so obvious.

"Ok, how are you going to do that", Dylan said"

"Come here and find out. I'll show you." Enya said.

Dylan had a bad feeling about this, however, he knew he needed to somehow stay warm. So he got up and walked towards Enya. She lowered he muzzle to his level, and wrapped her tongue around him and began pulling him towards her mouth. Dylan began to panic. He was screaming, kicking, and punching her as he tried to escape. `But it was no use. Moments latter he was in her mouth. as dagger like teeth closed all around him, he was struggling.

"I thought you weren't going to eat me!" Dylan screamed.

Enya spit him out and glared at him. She then said, "I'm not eating you, human. I'm keeping you warm. I'm letting you go back to your friends in the morning".

Enya put Dylan back in her mouth and closed her eyes trying to fall asleep.

Dylan, who was laying nervously on her tongue realized she was asleep. It came to him that eating him is not her intension now. He began to enjoy the soft wet warmth of her tongue, and he too finally fell asleep.

The fallowing morning, true to her work, Enya spit Dylan out. Dylan rubbed both the sleep and the saliva off of his eyes.

"You can go now, Dylan". Enya said with a sad look on her face.

"Ok, bye Enya". Dylan said as he waved at her.

"You will come back right?" Enya asked.

Dylan stopped and was deep in thought. He then smiled and said, "yah I'll be stoping by every once in a while. I gotta admit your tongue is very comfortable to sleep on". Enya grinned showing off her teeth. She then said "it was my pleasure. And you're quite tasty".

Dylan laughed, and walked away to meet his friends. He'd never tell them what actually happened because if he did, they'd never believe him. However he does try to visit as much as he can now.
