Carla - die or live&;#063;

It was a comfortable, though soggy, ride down the drain. The girl
was ahead of her, riding the drain and its water carefully. Cassy was
shocked at how comfortable it was. At least, if she died when coming
out of the drain, she would have had a brief moment of comfort.
But, Cassy was shocked again. The drain's pipe split off into two
pipes at the end. On Cassy's right pipe, she saw the water spray and
churn. On her left pipe, she saw floorboards. Floorboards it was, and
they landed with a THUMP.
'We're safe!' cried Cassy.
'We 'ave a vizitor, not good I am thinking,' said the other girl, whose
name was Carla. Cassy wheeled around. There, huddled in the corner, was
a dragon. Its bulging, yellow eyes were fixed upon Carla.
'You look tasty,' he said, slowly. Cassy bolted up the drain. Carla
was too late. Cassy heard a piercing scream, and then a munching,
crunching sound, of the dragon lunching on her short lived friend.
Cassy bowed her head, and settled, uneasily, to sleep, while the
dragons picked their way through the ship, eating its living cargo, one
by one.
Will Cassy be as short lived as her friend. Will she get to Borneo
alive, and what do the dragons want? Find out, on the next chapter in
the ABCset, 'The Dragon King'.
