"It's massive!" Eleven year old Derrick whispered with dark saucer eyes. Stephen stepped closer to the egg shape in the cave where they weren't ever supposed to go.
"Get back, Stephen! Pa will kill is for disobeying!"
Stephen, the oldest of the two brothers, winked at Derrick.
"Stay back, I'll be just fine."
But Derrick stepped another step closer. Stephen had reached that egg. His eyes darted around in the inky dark further in the cave.
His breathing sounded labored. He got close to the egg. He stretched his hand out and let fingertips graze the outside. He felt a warmth touching the membrane-like shell. Stephen jerked it back to his stomach as he jumped backwards, almost knocking down his brother.
Struggling to remain on his feet, he leaned against the damp cave wall then stared, first at the blood oozing from between his fingers, but then at that egg. A long thin, black tail whipped around flashing pointy, long knife-shaped projections. The egg was undulating with movement.He checked for Derrick, but he was nowhere near.
The egg rippled violently and at the mouth of the cave a piercing shriek made his hair stand on up on his scalp.
They never once considered that the egg could be a dragon egg and he slid quietly down the cave wall to the floor in a dead faint.
