Chapter 2 - Eire

At school, the teacher asked everyone to take out their maths books. Nancy put

her hand in her school bag and pulled out her maths book. Her pencil fell into

her school bag and as she was about to pull out her pencil something scraped

against her. She looked around the room. No-one was looking so she bent down

to see what scraped her. It was the dragon! Quickly, she slipped it into her

pocket. A couple of minutes later the teacher announced that they were going

on a school trip to Edinburgh Castle. ‘’Yes!’’, everyone shouted.

Soon Nancy was sitting at the back of the bus beside her friend Sam. Sam had

brown hair and blue eyes. ‘’This morning I found a dragon on the way to school’’,

whispered Nancy. ‘’Where is it?’’ asked Sam. ‘’In my pocket’’, answered Nancy.

Nancy and Sam sneaked a peek at the dragon. There was a little chain around its

neck and on the chain there was a little key. The key was gold with black and

purple crystals on it. When they reached the castle Nancy looked around

excitedly. A dark stone castle towered above them, there was a drawbridge

with rusty hinges and a very large court in the centre of the castle. It had four

towers at the corners. ‘’Wow’’, she gasped, ‘’it’s magical’’. Suddenly there was a

loud bang that made everyone jump!
