The Cracked Egg
Chapter 3
Zachary paced his dark, dank cell in the New Paris: Sector 14 Sheriff Station. "Why am I here?!" he yelled at the officer.
"One, you were caught speeding. Two, you stole the Royal Vehicle of London. Three, that outfit is atrocious." The officer listed. Zachary grabbed his pants and scrutinized them.
"What's wrong with my outfit?" Zachary asked. He sighed then threw himself onto the bed. He heard something beneath the bed and quickly jumped off the bed. He bet over and looked under the bed. There was a furry little creature which Zack didn't recognize. When it saw Zack it quickly dashed into a hole leaving behind what it had been guarding, some sort of egg. Zack laid down and reached both hands under the bed. He retrieved the egg and brought it. There already seemed to be a small crack in the egg.
"Well, look who's gonna hatch soon." He cooed.
"What did you say?" The officer asked, quickly standing. He walked over to the bars and pressed his face to the bars. "Watcha got there kiddo?" he asked.
"Nothing." Zack said, hiding the egg behind his back. He heard a cracking sound and a cry. The officer suddenly straightened up as he heard the cry, apparently recognizing the sound. He tossed the keys to Zack and ran out of the Sheriff Station. Zack brought the egg back in front of him.
"Why is he so scared of you huh?" Zack asked the egg. A little claw punctured the top of the egg. The creature cut all the sides of the egg and popped off the top. It was a little dragon which had been discovered twenty years ago. The dragon crawled up Zack's arm and perched on his shoulder.
