As you stare after him, the egg in your arms begins to shake and make crackling noises…
Tabitha blinked, unsure of what just occurred. The hatching egg in her hands snapped her back from her earth. She shouted after mysterious vendor.
"Uh sir...sir, come back... now!"
He’s gone, and she knows it. He disappeared…
A claw starts to push its way out, and then another. Soon she heard a low rumbling noise, which increased in intensity and volume as more of the creature emerged.
Everyone in the market was staring at her and the bundle. Before Tabitha knew it people were converging on her. The crowd was a mixture between adoration at the creature, and fear which could rally a mob in minutes.
Tabitha knew she had to get out of this place and quick, she started pushing through the crowd in vain. The head and neck of the creature popped out and snapped at a near by chicken seizing it by the throat.
The vendor screamed, and the crowd grew angry. Tabitha ran like a fire was lit under her. When she eventually managed to dodge the crowd, she sat the hatchling down on the ground and stared at it.
"What on earth...?"
The creature looked up at her with one bleary eye...
And burped.

okay heres the shortened version im not sure if its in the limit but im pretty sure it is. the origianl was around 300-400. okay this is it:
I stood there motionless. I knew there was life in this egg. But what? What could it be? Soemthing so bad it made a grown man ditch?, i thought to myself. Just standing there time seemed to stand still as the egg rumbled and rumbled. And then. It happened. The egg shattered into pieces as I stood there, frozen in fear. The fragments seemed to sizzle away and I looked into my cupped hands those of which where now burning. "agghh what the hell was that?" is said as a gust of wind blew from my hands. And there she was. A dragon. Somehow I knew it was a she. "Whooa" i said alowed, but no-one seemed to notice. "Whaats going on?" I said to myself in amazement. "Only you can see me." she said hovering gracefully in the air as if gravity did not hold her. "You are my master." she told me. That day changed my life. From that day own I could see things that others couldn't see. And I met people jsut like me. People with thier own dragons. Dragons that where all left to be baby-sitted by a strange man with a blond girl....... would he come to gather these dragons some day? No it does not matter. These are our dragons now. Our friends. Our family. And we will fight for them. Till our knuckles are bloody. And our arms numb. We will not give them up........

My entry for the prompt contest! Sorry it went over word count...even after I trimmed it down XD;
As you stare after him, the egg in your arms begins to shake and make crackling noises…
Oh god. It was shaking so wildly, the little dragon inside fighting to get out. Oh...ooohh! Vanar1 felt himself listing to the side and staggered to catch his balance. Aside from the shaking egg making the whole of his upper body jolt along with it his head had gone fuzzy and his knees were weak. "Why me...?" He moaned, finally getting it into his head to get out of the middle of the busy road. "Mmmm!" He wanted to close his eyes but instead simply clutched the rounded egg to his chest, careful not to drop it as he ran...even if he wanted nothing more than to leave it to some other fate. Trev knows...he knows I'm afraid of them2! Why would he do this to me?!
Ducking into the darkened doorway of some unknown and likely abandoned house tucked away off one of the main road's many alleys Vanar hunched down, the egg punched into his stomach, and wheezed until he caught his breath. The stoop was dark but he could still make out the shape of the egg when he finally straightened. It shook, violently, and he yelped and dropped it. At the last moment he snagged it from a messy death on the stairs...The next moment a bit of shell flaked off and he whimpered. Why didn't I let it fall...WHY?!? He was shaking too now, and sweating. Eyes dialated and breath came faster, sharper. The beginnings of a panic attack.
He felt the egg split in his hands and his knees did give out then. It was as if the whole of the world was closing in on him, he wanted so badly to look away, to not see it crawling out, squirming in his arms, thrashing about those things on its back...Finally he managed to look down. No...no wings? He could have cried with joy at the strange thing staring back at him. "No wings...Ugh!" Still damp with sweat, he promptly passed out, leaving the little dragon to wonder just what she had gotten herself into.
1 - First name that came to mind, I might change it later.
2 - Vanar has a phobia of wings, and of flying. XD Thus he's freaking out about having to hold this thing that would hatch with wings. He can't tell the difference in eggs enough to know that it's not a normal dragon until it hatches.

As you stare after him, the egg in your arms begins to shake and make crackling noises…
“Baby sit?! But.. But..” The blue egg trembled in her arms. ‘What now?’ she thought.’ She looked around nervously. ‘It’s going to be hungry when it hatches. I better find something or it’ll be chewing on my arm.’ She looked at the vendors around her. None were selling food. Clutching the cracking egg against her body, she wove her way through the crowd. Movements within the egg defeated her attempts to keep the splintering cracks from widening. Claws and horns tried to push their way out of the egg as she hurried through the crowd. Smells of hot dogs and mustard raised her hopes that she was close. Broken eggshells trailed behind her as she grappled with the emerging dragon. She reached the food vendor with one arm around the wiggling dragon and a handful of money retrieved from her pants pocket. “Dogs! However many that will get me,” she told the bearded vendor after depositing her fistful on his cart. He had no trouble understanding her dilemma and quickly handed over several hot dogs. Stuffing them into the dragon’s mouth, she slid to the ground. With the hatchling happily eating, she thought of Trev. ‘What was he thinking?!’

As you stare after him, the egg in your arms begins to shake and make crackling noises…
Zien look down at it in a panic, mind racing. ‘It can’t hatch, it’s not even mine!’ Is the main thought, hoping Trev would come back soon enough. But the shaking and cracking stop after several too-long seconds, earning a sigh of relief from the woman. ‘Close… he’d better hurry up.’ Hugging the egg tight to her chest, she set off down the street to see if she could find the owner…
After several moments, it was obvious he wouldn’t be found… She just had to keep this egg safe, right? And hope it didn’t hatch… ‘Just keep it safe, don’t panic …’ A sudden jolt sent her falling forwards, egg slipping from her grasp…!
Reaching out, she just managed to get a hand under it before it hit the ground, at least cushioning the fall. Tears welled up in her eyes as the weight of the egg crushed her hand into the street, and the sharp crack heard only further upset her. Pulling the orb close, she could only stare as the shell shards were broken away, and as her distress melted away, she was left with a small creature in her hands…
A small, very hungry creature.
Trouble.
