Oh, she hoped this would not be a bad day. Please let it be a good day. Allison was beside herself and anxiousness. There weren't as many eggs as there were candidates, and maybe it was selfish, but she was hoping and praying that she wouldn not be left alone today. Nothing could be wrose than that empty feeling, and the feeling of not being wanted... She knew that feeling. Her boyfriend of a year had cheated on her not even a week before S'nan had shown up and turned their lives around. She had caught him (her boyfriend, not S'nan) in bed with one of her so-called friends. A year of her life she had dedicated to him. A whole year. She had suffered a lot of pain and suffering after that. Feeling like she wasn't good enough. Was something wrong with her? Why wasn't she enough for him? Yes, it was a terrible time, and not something she wanted to repeat.
She watched as eggs broke open and people left, happy, wanted, with their bonds. She watched as Bre and Brooke Impressed and left the Sands joyously. She willed tears away- there were plenty of eggs left...
And then she felt a tugging on her robes. She glanced down, and there.... there was the most gorgeous creature she had ever laid eyes on.
Why are you upset, mine? I'm here now. My name is Taith. Allison dropped down to her knees and hugged the little white dragon, smiling with all of her heart. And the two of them left together to meet up with Bre and Brooke in the kitchens.
It wasn't a bad day at all.
In fact, it was a very, very good day.
The Treasured Taith!
