The dragon waited for some minutes, until partners in crime finally calmed down a little bit and, still weeping and sobbing, got up, carefully rubbing their sore bottoms.

"We're very sorry! Thank you for this lesson, your mightiness!" vampiress said, sniffing. She-werewolf only nodded, bleating.

"Good!" the dragon said "And now I will count to five, and if you won't disappear from my lair before I'll end, I'll burn you alive! One!" he exhaled a big cloud of smoke.

Vampiress and she-werewolf gasped and ran away as fast as they could, trying not to pay attention to the pain in their backsides. They soon were almost outside, but the cave entrance was hole-alike, so they had no choice but to climb out

"Give me a lift! Now!" vampiress commanded.

She-werewolf growled, but pushed her friend from behind to help her to climb over a rock.

"OW!!! Be careful, you!" vampiress complained, when she-werewolf's paw touched her sore behind.

"I try!" she-werewolf excused "Better be hurry!"

Suddenly they both heard "Five!" and dragon's head appeared from the depths of the cave. He laughed and exhaled a long tongue of flame.

She-werewolf's desperate howling was heard for a miles around the mountains.
