Paper Dragons

Once Upon a Time, in a land far from here there lived a settlement of dragons. These dragons are about this, my daddy makes about  3 inch height with his fingers, tall. They lived in a small woods just outside the village. They lived happily, they played all day long content. Though, if a dragon misbehaved by breathing fire or ripping their armor, they disappeared. In ashes or they simply ceased to exist. These gorgeous creatures were so delicate yet so curious they all disappeared.
         "No!!" I cried. "Why did they die? They can't die! It's not fair! They needed help! Where are their mommies and daddies?!" I started to cry. My daddy started talking again.
        Meg, you didn't let me finish. There is a theory that these dragons still live. They live in hiding.
There was a knock on the door. Come in.
        A big guy came in he had shiny armour though there was red stuff on his arms in the chain links I think he was playing with my paint. The big man had a large stick. Come with me, the big guy said. I looked at my Daddy. His eyes looked down. Go with him Meg, my daddy said. "What?! No!! Daddy he's scary!" My daddy's voice got tight like he was about to cry.
        Daddies don’t cry though so he's probably mad at me. My daddy kisses me on the forehead. I hug him. I don't like the big man. But maybe if I go the big man will get me more paint. "I love you daddy I'll see you at dinner." My daddy's shoulders are shaking now. I don't know why my daddy is mad. Bye Meg Love you darling. Daddy hugs me and whispers in my ear. Love you Meg. "Love you daddy." I go with the big man and as soon as we leave the room I fall into the dark.
