Half Past Destiny. The Dragon Savior. Chapter 1
Jenna sat on the steps of the old stone church. She leaned up against the cold cement and traced her finger along the lines of the stairs. She looked towards the street in front of her; cars drove by, and people walked on the sidewalk. It was a perfect day; only it wasn't. The town she lived in was called Pleasantville, but it wasn’t very pleasant for her. She waited on the steps of her current foster family's church, the Morgs, for them to come out from the service. Today was Jenna’s 17th Birthday, but it didn’t matter. Jenna had been in foster care since she was three, but not all her foster parents were bad. The Morgs were nice enough people, but they weren’t her family. The Morgs doted on their biological children but not her. When it came to birthdays, holidays, and vacations? She was rarely included. They weren’t mean or vile like some of her previous foster parents. She had clean clothes and food; she even went to an excellent school- They didn’t treat her like f

Jenna fell on her bed backward, sighing as she landed. “Ugh,” She thought. She heard yelling outside her bedroom door; Evelyn and Mark were still at it. “I’m getting the house, you buffoon! You can sleep in your office,” screamed Evelyn. Jenna could hear her stomping past the bedroom door. “Maybe I will!” replied Mark, and Jenna rolled her eyes; this had been going on since Mark had found out about the affair. Jenna had known for months that something was up with Evelyn. She had a pep in her step; she was happy and laughing. Evelyn's attitude had improved to the point where she acted like she had when Jenna had first moved in. When Jenna first moved in, Evelyn was confident and happy. But, as time passed, Evelyn lost her confidence and shine; she was depressed. She was lonely in her marriage to Mark and only held on because of her children. Jenna could see the change in her attitude when the affair started; she had gotten all her lost confidence back, and she was no longer de

Jenna pulled up to the museum; it was an exquisitely kept stone structure from the 1500s. Stones lined the walkway to the building, and two dragon statues were on pedestals by the entrance. The children gasped when they saw it. They had lived in this town their entire lives but never visited the museum because their parents were always too busy. Jenna had only been here once on a school field trip in the second grade, but that was just a distant memory now. Jenna parked the car looking at the children; Melanie gleamed with excitement. "This is so cool! I hope the inside is just as cool." Jenna laughed, "I haven't been here since I was really young, but I remember it being pretty fantastic." She said, peering out the window at the massive stone building. Max had brought his handheld game and was completely oblivious to his surroundings. Jenna walked over and took the game, putting it in her pocket. "Okay, you two, time for rules." Both twins rolled their eyes. "Jenna, we

Once they were done with all the exhibits, they went to the car. Max and Melanie climbed in, and she handed Max back his game. He smiled as he took it happily, “You know, you’re almost addicted to that thing.” Jenna laughed. Max grinned, “I’m at the 100th level. I need to get to 350 to beat the game. I can smell the victory.” Jenna laughed, and Melanie pinched her nose, “ I can smell something else.” She groaned. Max laughed, “whoever smelt it dealt it.” He teased. Jenna plugged her nose and rolled down the windows. “Geez, Max! You stink.” Max laughed, “It's a part of my charm.” Melanie gagged, “Boys are so gross!” Jenna smirked and pulled out her phone. She texted Evelyn and told her they were done. Today was her visit with her mother. Jenna sighed as she started the car, “Your mom is back now. I will drop you two off and see my mom.” Both children nodded, “I hope you have a good visit, Jenna," said Melanie. Jenna nodded, “I do too.” On the

Jenna slowly turned around to face the man. He was tall and dressed in clothes they would wear 500 years ago. Cloth pants that were brown and a white one-piece shirt. She eyed him slowly, “I just came to marvel at this clock again.” The man smiled, “Aye,” He said, “She is a beauty, isn’t she?” Jenna nodded, “Could you tell me more about the story of the time travel?” she asked. The man nodded, “Yes. I am Angelo, by the way. The clock's keeper.” Jenna smiled wearily; this guy was a little creepy. He continued, “It has been said that this clock can send those true of heart back in time to fight for what they want. To change who they are, to become more. The legend says; that a young girl used this very clock to do just that. The legend says she was the queen of this castle, Queen Angela.” Jenna looked at the clock and then looked at the picture by it. Queen Angela stood by the clock; she posed for this picture. She looked marvelous; her long gown was to the floor, an

Clay's laughter echoed through the dungeon, and Jenna rolled her eyes, “I promise you. I’m not kidding; I was brought here by a crazy old-time clock wizard.” Clay looked at her, interested, “The clock wizard that gave the queen her power?” Jenna nodded, “But according to him, she had no power. She just placed herself in the king’s path to gain status.” Clay looked at Jenna with wonder; "So you are from somewhere else?” Jenna nodded, “I swear to you I am, and in my timeline, no dragons, witches, werewolves, or vampires exist. At least not in the open.” Clay put his head down, “So that means we lose.” Jenna sighed, “I don’t know what that means. What I do know is that this isn’t possible; I shouldn't be sitting here talking to a dragon. DRAGONS DON’T EXIST!” Clay sighed, “We do. Well, now, at least. I’m wondering if we're extinct in the future.” Jenna nodded, “Honestly, I'm not sure. In my future, this castle is a museum.” Clay looked at Jenna wit

Jenna looked at the two men that were sitting across from her. Clay had black hair and green eyes. Yale was blonde with blue eyes. She stared at them both blankly as Clay told Yale what had happened. “So she’s from a different timeline, at least that is what she claims,” Clay said.Yale looked at Jenna with amusement, “Oh really? Can she prove that?”Jenna looked at Yale, “I’m not sure how you would like me to prove it. Everything I had from my timeline was left there when I came here.” Yale looked at her with mystery.“Oh, yeah? Like what?” asked Yale.“Like my phone and clothing.”Both men stared at her, "What's a foone” Clay asked.Jenna laughed, “It is called a phone. It's like a rectangular device you use to talk to people not located near you.” Both men look bewildered.“I don’t understand what you mean,” stated Yale."Exactly, each thing I could tell you about, you wouldn’t believe. In my timeline, we have working toilets with indoor plumbing that flush your waste away." Both m

Yale looked at Clay, “What do you mean?” Jenna nodded and interrupted, “ Yeah…what does that mean?” both men looked at her and then back at each other. "Queen Angela used the time clock and changed her destiny. Maybe this human can do the same," said Yale. Jenna smirked, “My name is Jenna. Talk about me not having manners. You didn’t even ask for my name, and you didn’t even introduce yourself, Yale. I just know your name because he said it.” Both men laughed they had been referring to Jenna as the human this entire time. “As I was saying. In Jenna’s timeline, there are no supernaturals. Maybe she can help us end this war and save all of us," said Clay. Jenna sighed, “There is nothing in any of our history books about this war. Supernaturals are just make-believe.” Clay nodded, “But you came from a different timeline, so maybe you’re the key to changing everything.” "In books, supernaturals are scary. Vampires kill humans and drink their blood, dragons are ferocious, we

In the morning, Jenna rolled over and stretched out in the large bed. She looked over the room again. The canopy was lovely. It really made the bed warm and inviting. The sitting area had a table and two sofas. Both elegantly blue. The table was made of marble.She smiled as she sighed heavily. The last two days had been crazy, but tonight, she would attend a ball. She had never been to one. Junior prom was okay for her. Her friend Melody had asked her boyfriend’s best friend to take Jenna. She wasn’t romantically interested in him at all, but they had fun. She had worn a silver sweetheart dress. It wasn’t as elegant as even what she had worn the night before, but she had loved it. She had worn black pumps and had her hair professionally done. Melody was her closest friend, but didn’t have a best friend. She refused to get close to anyone.There was a knock on the door, “Come in.” called Jenna.Marissa walked in and smiled at Jenna, “Good morning, Miss. Did you sleep okay?”Jenna smil

Clay grabbed the bottle back from Yale and drank the rest, gulping it down. It was probably at least halfway full still and Yale sighed and watched him as he gulped it down. Clay let out a huge belch when he finished, setting the bottle down.Yale laughed, “So I take that as a yes.”Clay sighed, “It’s strange, isn’t it?”Yale nodded, “It’s odd to have a human actually fated mated to our kind.”Clay played with the wine bottle in his hands, “I know. I quite don’t understand it myself, but she is definitely my mate.”Yale sighed, “Do you think she’s even good enough for you?”Clay looked at Yale with defeat, “I would imagine s,o but who’s to say? She’s from a different timeline, she knows nothing of our world, and she’s odd.”Yale laughed, “She definitely is odd, but like you said, maybe she is the key.”Clay nodded and tapped the wine bottle against the log, “Maybe so. Either way, when she told me supernaturals (as she called them) were not known in her timeline, that scared me. I know

Clay and Yale watched Jenna walk to her room. Clay watched her walk away we glee as Yale watched Clay with curiosity. The two of them weren’t planning on going to bed, Not quite yet. The night was the best time for dragons. They could shift and fly over the lands in darkness. The castle and its surroundings were especially quiet and beautiful at night. They had found a spot that they loved to fly to and then shift and watch the night sky.Yale smiled at Clay, “Are you ready to go?”Clay nodded, “Yes, just let me grab the bag, and let’s sneak some of Mom’s favorite wine.” He smirked. Yale laughed as they headed into the kitchen. They grabbed some of the famous cheesecake that was left over. Then Yale headed down to the cellar and grabbed a bottle of the Queen's finest wine. The Queen didn’t like it when they took her favorite wine, so they had to be careful and quiet. The two men quietly wrapped up the cheesecake in paper and added the wine to the bag. They then quietly exited the cast

Jenna couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. She had tried too hard to act like a lady, but it hadn’t worked out. She noticed Clay from across the table, smiling at her; he was handsome. He had black hair, green eyes, a body to die for.-Abs, and many muscles.She felt even more embarrassed that this had happened in front of him. She wasn’t looking for love, and her trust issues from moving around so much had made it so she hadn’t even had a boyfriend. Well, there was someone she was interested in when she lived with the Canters, but she had been moved again, and she was never able to see if that would even turn into a romance. She was only 13 then anyway, so the hopes were not high.She sighed as she looked across the table and apologized once again, “I am so sorry.”The queen smiled as she reeled in her giggles, “It's fine, dear. We should have warned you about the spice, but we don’t get many human visitors here. We should have known better.”Jenna put on a half-smile, “I just feel sil

~~Clay’s POV~~~Clay watched Jenna start sweating from the dragon’s stew. He didn’t say anything; watching was way more fun. He and Yale had already seen the way she behaved in front of them, but he wanted to see what she would do in front of the King and Queen.Jenna was his mate.He wasn’t even sure how this was possible. She was from a different timeline, and she was such a strange girl. He had thought hard about this. If she had not traveled to their timeline, would he never have found his mate? It was a shock for a dragon to even have a human as a mate; It was highly unlikely. Dragons and other supernaturals did breed with humans, making hybrids, but for one to be actually fated mated to one was very rare.He thought maybe this was why their destinies were entangled.He hadn’t told anyone this, not even Yale. He couldn’t tell Jenna either right now. He knew that her head was spinning already with coming to this timeline and then finding out that she may have something to do with

The three stayed out playing by the lake for what seemed like hours. The sun was beginning to set when Marissa came to the lake, “ Prince Yale, Your parents are requesting the three of you come to get washed up for dinner.”Yale smiled, “ Okay, thank you, Marissa.”“ Ms. Jenna, please come with me. I will help you get ready.” Marissa smiled sweetly as she spoke to Jenna, but Jenna felt uneasy as they all walked inside.“ You are very beautiful for a human,” Marissa said as she complimented Jenna and followed her up the stairs.Jenna smiled awkwardly, “ Umm..thank you.” She said as she shrugged.Marissa laughed as she watched Jenna falter for words, “ We are going to get you into a bath. I’ve already prepared the water, so it’s the perfect temperature. Afterward, we can re-braid your hair. The queen has laid out three dresses that belong to Yale’s sister, Adleigh, that she would like you to choose from.” Marissa said she led the way, but Jenna smiled wearily; she wasn’t much of a fancy

Jenna watched the castle become uncloaked and gasped as she took in the fantastic sight. The stone was even more beautiful than at Queen Angela’s castle. It was dark grey, and dragon statues were all over the grounds. The grounds were beautiful and were upkept with flowers and décor for the timeline.She squealed in excitement, “ That is a pretty neat trick.” she smiled, looking at the magic stone.Yale smiled, “ Yes, my father has a witch he uses to cast spells. When the war started, we had our castle cloaked so the King’s guards couldn’t find it. “Jenna nodded, “ Yes, witchcraft is not a thing in my timeline. We can’t cloak anything.” She said, marveling at the castle once more.Both men laughed as they watched her. They had nothing to compare her experience to, but a castle being cloaked was usually something no humans had seen, “ Well, let's go.” Said Yale, leading the way, but Jenna was still mesmerized.They walked towards the castle; It was only a few meters away, and Jenna co

In the morning, Jenna rolled over onto the big bear rug and stretched out. Clay had moved her after she fell asleep, but she felt rather cozy. She stretched her body out, making yawning noises.“Are you ok?” asked Yale, and Jena laughed, “Yeah, just a good stretch. I’m going to use the bucket. What’s for breakfast?” she asked, getting up.Yale laughed as he watched her, “You are one strange human. We are going to have some leftover deer meat, and Clay went to see if he could find some eggs.”Jenna smiled, but a thought came across her mind, “How do you cook eggs here?”Yale grinned, “Well, we have things called pots, and you can cook them over a fire or put them in water and boil them.” He said matter of factly.Jenna smirked, “Ah, like camping.”Yale laughed, “Sure…like camping.” He replied.Jenna smirked and walked to their makeshift bathroom. There was a bucket, a bowl of water, and some leaves. She laughed to herself about the leaves. Another thing she missed was toilet paper. She

Yale looked at Clay, “What do you mean?” Jenna nodded and interrupted, “ Yeah…what does that mean?” both men looked at her and then back at each other. "Queen Angela used the time clock and changed her destiny. Maybe this human can do the same," said Yale. Jenna smirked, “My name is Jenna. Talk about me not having manners. You didn’t even ask for my name, and you didn’t even introduce yourself, Yale. I just know your name because he said it.” Both men laughed they had been referring to Jenna as the human this entire time. “As I was saying. In Jenna’s timeline, there are no supernaturals.
