"Daddy, no!" At first, it was only a whisper, but then it grew louder and louder, more incoherent as I became more hysterical. Tears were running down my cheeks. The one following the other without a break, like they were running a marathon. I couldn't stop them from escaping. The snot started dripping from my nose. Joining and mixing with my tears. As I licked my lips, without thinking, I could taste the saltiness from my tears and snot. I didn’t care, though. Only one word echoed through my brain and lips. "No, no, no, no!" I ran from one room to the other, at an inhumane speed, the grief fueling every step, not pausing to check the rooms properly. I didn't realize at the time how strange it was that I was running through a castle, staggering through door after door, but there was no one in sight. I heard Justine and William behind me. They were shouting something, probably trying to stop me or slow me down, but I only ran faster. I just couldn't stop. Even though I knew deep
As I opened my eyes, I realised we were in my fathers house. I recognised the room only slightly because everything was still dancing around my vision. This was the room I slept in during the summer vacation here with my dad. "Why couldn't you wait!" I yelled but it only came out in a whispered sob. My birthday was tomorrow and now my dad would not be there. My body suddenly started twitching, my head started throbbing, my brain was on fire and it felt like it was growing in my skull, my skull split. My eyes burned, I could feel the burning moving down my face. Hot, sticky, wet liquid was running out of my eyes, out of my nose and out of the corners of my mouth. The burning ran down the length of my body. I could feel it reaching my fingers, running down my legs to my toes. It was burning my me from inside out. I felt my body sizzling and changing under the pressure of the heat. I felt myself fading into unconsciousness as the pain got worse by the second. I wanted to die. It
We fell, slid, and rolled once, twice, three times. Glided another few meters before we came to a halt. When I opened my eyes, I saw this giant black wolf as big as a bear pinning me to the ground . The hatred burning in his beautiful, chocolate brown eyes were almost palpable. He growled, warning me. I let out a breath, I didn’t realise I was holding. I could see that he was out for blood. And that is when I relaxed in his grip. This was my chance, the easy way out without having to do it myself. Extending my neck, giving him better access to my throat, but my eyes never left his. Inviting him. I could see in his eyes that he was considering his choices; getting rid of me quickly or making a game out of it. I at least wanted to die quickly and as painlessly as possible. “Please do it as quickly as possible.” I tried not to sound so pathetic but failed. I closed my eyes and waited for the sting of theeth or claws ripping out my throat, but it didn’t come.... yet. I opened
I was alone for now. I knew it wouldn’t last long. I decided to read my fathers letter. I didn’t really want to, but I knew I had to sometime, and what better time would there be? As I reached the fireplace and picked up the letter, I saw the beautiful little black box with the red bow around it. With my dad’s letter and Eric’s present in hand, I went to climb into bed. My heart sank, and I felt defeated. Darkness suddenly krept towards me like an old friend. I shook my head a few times as if to shake the fear out of it. My hand shot out, and the first thing I grabbed was the beautiful little box. I turned it over and over in my hand, admiring the beauty of it. The box was black velvet, it felt so soft and it looked really expensive as I pulled the bow off. I didn’t even see the thing, but as I opened the lid, sobs started burning my throat, wanting to escape. Tears shot up into my eyes, blinding me. I blinked a few times, clearing my eyes. When I looked down, I saw a little
When I opened my eyes, I was in a cramped little room. The unmade bed was against the window on the far side of the room, at the foot of the bed there was a door. I opened the door, expecting a cupboard or bathroom, but instead, it led into a sunroom. It was beautiful. I looked around, but there was no sign of life. “Boe!” “Oh shinanigance!” I almost jumbed through the roof as I swirled around. My breath caught when I saw him. The white towel around his waist was extremely white against his really tanned body. The drop of water ran down the lines of his mouth watering, six-pack. His broad shoulders, like a body builder but not too bulcky? The scar on his bisep only made him more mouth watering. “Take a picture it will last longer than your visit.” I could hear the mocking tone in his voice. My eyes shot up to meet his. His ruffled black hair complemented his chocolate brown eyes. His eyes, it looked so familiar. “Are you going to take a picture or not?” He said impatiently
It must have been midnight when I woke up. My body ice is cold, and my muscles cramped. I stood up, my muscles popping and cracking. When I got to my bed I saw the little box and my dads letter. I slowly picked it up and scrambled through the little box, and came up with a beautiful decorated card. I fold it open and my heart started pounding a dark cloud clunching over it when I read the note; “To my love with love : I gave you this pendant to protect you and keep you save till one day I can do the same.” As I read it, the words engraved into my heart and a hope got sparked inside it. The tears were running down my face, but this time, it was because I felt guilty. When I reached for my dads letter, my hand could not stop shaking. I slowly took the letter out of the plain white envelope sealed with a scarlet red seal. The simbole on the seal was beautiful. It had a lot of feathers and was detailed. The crests of all the races were combined in this seal. From blood drops to wolf form
Enrickio!” I wanted to sound strong, but it escaped my throat as a croacked cough. At the sight of him, I could feel my Other surfacing, running over me, my teeth jutting out immediately. I came to the entrance of Pantelleria a few minutes back but decided to do a quick border check before moving on. When I returned to the entrance, I saw him here lounging against one of the trees. “Little brother!” He sounded excited, but that mocking tone was clear in every word. He did not bother to hide it. “What are you doing here?” My words didn’t fully come out like it should have because of my teeth. I have been out of practice for far too long. “I came to see you, little brother.” He smiled delightedly. I slowly retract my fangs. “Isn’t it true that you turned 300 a few, o today! Happy birthday, little brother.” “Thanks, I guess.” I said carefully. “So where’s the party.” “Not having one.” “O' that’s too bad. I really hoped to meet that little dove of yours.” He winked and stood up
The only thing I could hear above the vibrating zoom in my head was the breathing around me. I didn’t want to open my eyes just yet, I didn’t want to get up. The liquid on my chin and under my nose grew sticky and really irritating. I resisted the urge to wipe at my face because I didn’t want them to know that I was awake. Why are they in my room? What happened last night? I couldn’t remember right now, but I felt the pieces of shattered memory coming back slowly like a complex puzzle. With every memory grieve leaked back. My heart started to pump faster like the grief was driving it. The zooming in my head louder and growing even more, with every piece fitted. I don’t know how long it took for my memory to come back but when I had all of it back I didn’t want it anymore, what I felt before was nothing what I felt now was like living in hell. The tears burned behind my eyelids, tears I fought to keep back, my breath increasing with every intake, my heart burning. I could f
I was awakened by a clattering noise coming from the bathroom. Jeromia appeared in the doorway. He apologized for waking me and made his way back. He slowly got under the cover again and turned towards me. He slowly traced my arm up and down. I quiverred slightly, not because it was nice like he thought. I quiverred in disgussed. I hate a lesser being touching me. Now I had enough! I moved close to him, and like I knew he would , he rapped his arms around my middel and pulled me closer. He kissed me, and instantly, his tongue forced its way into my mouth. He pulled back , his breathing speeding up as lust filled his every being. He closed in for another kiss, pulling me on top of him , kissing my neck, and any place his lips could touch. I could feel his excitement, I could feel him, hard and very unimpressive underneath me. I sat upright and caressed his naked stomach slowly. I played a bit with the hem on his pants. That excited him even more. I scratched him upwa
It was almost lunch when Scales and I took off to the nesting grounds. We were in luck. It was a very cloudy day, and we could fly unnoticed above the clouds al the way to the nesting grounds. If we were discovered, it would be very bad for both of us. The nesting grounds is a huge island where dragons would come to nest. It was a safe place for mother and young to grow strong before returning home. No one knew where the dragons made their home, but since no one had ever seen a dragon after the war and the nesting grounds remained vacant, everyone assumed they were all gone. All except for Scales. As always, the nesting grounds were vacant except for a few creatures seeking the tranquility the nesting grounds provided. At our descend, they scattered and made noices of irritation. We made our nest close to Endresomera, at the most northern part of the nesting gounds. Everything was calm, relaxed, and silent, but that didn’t last at all. A little pixy came flying towards us,
As my feet crossed the border into the human world, the silence erupted as birds and small animals screeched and scattered away from the disturbance. I looked around. There were only trees to the front, left and right, and now behind me. I slowly stepped forward, concentrating to put one foot in front of the other. Suddenly, I felt nauseous not because of my circumstance, but I literally felt sick to my stomach. I ran to the closest bush to empty my stomach. Just when I thought it was over, another wave of nausea hit me. After the third wave, and I was sure it was the last I sat down against a tree, I felt absolutely horrid. “Are you okay?” A girl appeared in front of me. “Fine.” I spat as I rummaged through my bag for my water. “It doesn’t look like it.” “Then why ask.” “She is only being friendly and concerned.” A male appeared from the same direction. I raised my brow and asked him what the hell he wanted. “Are you the new arrival?” “If you mean, did I just
Every dragon longed to get their tint of blue in their flame. Only the strongest, purest Dragon Shifters get theirs and only a very few was blessed with that gift. It was a magnificent gift but also a huge responsibility. It meant you had to control your anger because now that, wish could have become a reality. I could have burned Vigo, to a crisp. Dimitria came out with a robe and draped it around me as I turned back into my normal form. I tied it and went back into the house to get dressed… again. I sat down on my bed for a while and Dimitria came hurrying in. “Are you okay?” She asked before she threw open my cupboard. “I ripped my favourite jeans.” I said She turned and smiled. “Put this on.” She said still smiling. It was a pair of skinny jeans, a pink and black tank top with a pair of pumps. “But…” “You will fit in on the other side.” “Really?” I knew I sounded disgusted. “Come on, you have to finish up and go! Vigo is on his way to tell his mother”
When I returned to my room a quick glance at the clock made my heart sink. It was only a few hours to dawn and I was exhausted. I grabbed a bag and threw a view clothes in and on the top wrapped in one of my shirts, I put my favourite photo -of Dimitria and Dimitrion with a baby black dragon between them. I didn't have a photo of my parents but I hoped they were as much in love with each other as Dimitria and Dimitrion were in that picture. A knock at my door made me very aware of the tears leaking from my eyes and the snot on my top lip. I wiped my face quickly and zipped my bag closed before answering the knock. Dimitria entered gracefully her face mirroring my own, red cheeks and tears running uncontrollably, minus the snot. She sat on my bed without a word and patted next to her, indicating for me to come sit down for a moment. We sat in silence for a few minutes. “Tell me…” she paused and sighed, “tell me, what happened after you… you know… where were you?” I didn’t want
My tireds, tired was tired when I got to my room. I knew I shouldn’t get into bed right away but I was just so tired. I haven't had a proper nights rest and my thoughts were consumed with thoughts of Him. I knew I had more important things to worry about but I couldn’t do anything about it at the moment. I didn't want to think about him though because the betrayal I felt was also just to overwhelming. I was about to drift off to sleep, when Dimitria woke me up to tell me that it was time. I tried apologising because I could see the hurt in her eyes but she only pulled me into a hug and whispered; “Why it’s always my children that are targeted by that vile creature, I wished I knew.” A sob escaped and then she continued, “but like I told my son years ago I would never replace you and will always believe in you and fight for you.” She held me at arms length and looked me over with her bloodshot red eyes, she tried to keep the tears at bay but the tears did not stop spill
The only thing I missed about my old life was the unique love my parents gave so willingly. The only thing I feel guilty about is disappointing them. They always warned me about that evil creature, and I chose not to listen, I chose to befriend him. That is the only thing I felt guilty about and the only thing I will feel guilty about. I tried to convince myself. As I settled into my cave, Scales growled at me because I awoke him from his nap. He was the only one who knew the truth about me. He was my guardian angel in dragon form. The last dragon alive, no one knew about him, and no one would.I found his egg at the dragons’ nesting ground, hidden under a bush in a very clever hideout. He communicated with me mentally, and that is how I found him, I don’t know why me but it was probably because I was the only dragon shifter on that island since the war. He was a smart little guy and used our connection to sift through my thoughts and memories, and I allowed him. I was alone
Leaving her there was harder than I thought it would be. As the distance grew between us, I could not believe that I actually left her… But this need to hold her was terrifying me more than anything has ever terrified me. There is this fire between us, every time we touched. I couldn’t make sense of it. “Draco! Get a hold of yourself. You are being weak.” I scolded myself, “how could she feel anything for you? You just met… How could anyone feel anything for you, and she never will? How could she?” I continued on this stupid rampage. I did not want to listen to myself, but I knew I had to. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her damned face. She is probably safely home in a warm bed, not even thinking or wondering about me… Who would? I wouldn’t… “Draco!” a voice growled behind me. “What?” I snapped. “Where have you been?” I turned to see Luke leaning against the old tree. I was not in the mood to be friendly with him, and I hated him, but I had to find out what he was up to.
Betrayal, that is what I felt. And it did not feel good… Not good at al… My conscience kept bugging me as I swept into the Elders Realm – as I called it – it was a huge room right on the ocean shore in a cave that was secured and out of eyesight for everyone that did not know about it… to the stranger it would only look like a gap in a rock wall not even big enough to be a cave. The interior was impressively decorated with paintings of The Dragons Days, where dragon shifters ruled and dragons were not extinct. There were a vast variety of paintings of dragons flying, hunting, fighting, and then the war. The horrible war where the dragon turned on dragon shifter, and the war led to extinction, but for a few elders who took the surviving young and hid with them until the very end of the war. Normally, all this magnificence took my breath away, but not today. Today, I could not even see the splendor of the four Elders Hall, which so frequently took my breath away. (Today, eve
