Sara had gone downstairs and cleaned up everything in the kitchen. She even got out the vacuum and started vacuuming the main hall. It always needed going over for some reason? It always looked dirty. Sara was no clean freak... but her mom was.
After that was all said and done, Sara went back up to her room and closed the next drape next to the one she closed earlier and got her keys, helmet and her black leather trench coat.
Sara peeked inside and saw that Draconis was sleeping like a baby. She smiled once more and closed the door quietly not to wake him.
Sara left her room and locked it after writing a letter just in case she didn't quite get back before sun down. She then headed downstairs and went out a side door. She was now just below her bedroom and removed the tarp from her motorcycle.
Placing the tarp in a safe place, Sara got on her bike and started it up. Letting it rev a few times before releasing one of the handles and punched it. She left the yard and went down towards the beach. She'd spend her time there for the day since she had packed a small lunch in her back pack that she had made while washing the dishes.
Sara was there in about two hours, looking over the road to see the beautiful seascape that unfolded. She found a nice area that was shaded by a tree and set up there. She'd just stay there and go home in three or four hours.
Sara let the time pass as she laid out on the grass just above the sandy beach, looking up at the cloudy sky through the tree branches. the smell of the ocean was nice and she nearly fell asleep, holding the amulet in her hand as she looked it over. It seemed to get brighter as time passed. But there was no shadow to the strange light that came from it.
It seemed to glow the more Sara looked at it but stopped when she saw two other shadows loom closer to her. Sara got up and looked over. They looked like drunks.. the way they wee stumbling around.. but they also looked like her mom after just waking up with a mud mask left on overnight... they weren't moving too fast and the fact that they made chills go down Sara's spine gave her enough initiative to get her things packed up and ready just in case she needed to book it out of there.
When Sara did this however, the two started to come right at her and built momentum. catching up to Sara's position faster than she anticipated. Luckily for her, Sara had everything packed up and ran to her bike. the beach had gotten too quiet and she could see that two more were coming .... but they were coming straight from the ocean?
Sara didn't care. All she did was get on her bike and try to get it started... "Come on... Stupid piece of junk!" *Strange noises started to sound as Sara had kicked her bike.* "Okay, you're not a piece of junk... please start, precious?" *It started after giving the engine a tad more gas.* "Yeah baby, that's what I'm talking about!!" Sara exclaimed as she ripped up the grass and sped towards the road and zooming past the 'people' that had shown up. Not looking back to actually see them fall apart...
Sara slowed down after a few miles and kept at the speed limit. She would get home soon and it was going to be just past three when she got back. She'd have to go into town to refuel and stock up on some strawberries. She thought of making a strawberry short cake for desert after supper. It'd be a treat for her parents, when they got home after ten, and for Draconis after the sun set at seven. By that time Sara would be done everything else she needed to do and have supper almost done in the oven, A nice Beef roast, with sauteed Portabelo mushrooms, fresh from the butcher. Sara would save all the blood that came off of the roast for Draconis.. she didn't know if he'd drink animal blood... but it didn't hurt to try. Plus roasted baby potatoes with mint and fresh green beens soaked in butter. All fresh from their garden.
It'd be an all out dinner... she just hoped that Draconis and ever her parents would like it. Her parents were very picky. they'd just want take-out after work instead of sitting down and eating a big meal usually.
After getting everything else that would be needed that she didn't have at home, Sara started her way back home to start cooking the rest of supper. The roast was already in and probably half done already. She had set it to a lower temp as to slow cook it to keep the juices inside. She wondered if the smell hadn't woken up Draconis yet?
