I glare at Bergamot as we leave Miss Saffron's house, heading to the forest to collect firewood. I can feel his gaze as he follows behind me.
"Stop looking at me and go get some firewood!" I snap, hearing his footsteps leave. I close my eyes and sigh, continuing to collect firewood. I listen to the other forest sounds and hear muffled footsteps.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdDnClnkJr
"Bergamot, I thought I told you to go awa-" I whirled to face the source of the footsteps, and yelped. A knight was in front of me, his sword pointed at me and I could see, behind the knight, several others. I could also see Bergamot, creeping up behind the knights, yellow eyes burning with murderous intent. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu2n44TPnd
"Where is the dragon?!" The knight demanded. I shrugged, turning away from the knights.
"I'm not sure. It probably flew off." I walk back to the house, putting my hands on my ears as Bergamot fell upon the knights in an explosion of scales, claws, and fangs, tearing them to pieces.

"I'm back." Miss Saffron looks up from her book, with a small smile.
"Hi Pasilla! Where's Bergamot?" She asks as I drop the firewood by the door.
"Dealing with some uninvited guests." Miss Saffron gives me a confused look, and gasps sharply, and I turn to see Bergamot, covered in blood. It covers his clawed hands, dripping onto the floor.
"I handled the knights," He says, his face stretching into a feral grin, revealing large, sharp teeth. "There won't be any knights in the forest any time soon." His yellow eyes still burn with the murderous intent I had witnessed earlier, but it's dimmed somewhat. He turns to Miss Saffron, tossing something to her, and she catches it easily.
"I took the coat of arms from one of the knights," He explains, going over to the sink and cleaning his hands. "I might go and... finish the rest of them off." Miss Saffron shook her head.
"Absolutely not!" Miss Saffron said crossly. "You're lucky none of the knights survived, otherwise we'd be in trouble." She crossed her arms. "Because of this incident, Bergamot, you are no longer allowed to traverse the forest." Bergamot opened his mouth to protest, but Miss Saffron raised a hand for silence. "Futhermore, you can't change into your dragon form." Bergamot glared at her balefully.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXldMSHm3O
"So, I'm on a leash then?" He asked through gritted teeth, and Miss Saffron nodded. I gave him a self-satisfying smirk.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5b1KIarl5
"Well, I'm going to go collect the firewood you left in the forest. Bye Bergamot." I said, leaving the house.
