The Book of Mara Chapter 83: Six Months Later
The clunk of a coffee cup had me lifting my head from my notes that I had been pouring over for days now to no avail. When Erik had originally gone missing, I had found the answer to opening the portal in the dark, dusty library of a rural town in England. However, the notes had, once again, not given me any new information that I could use to reopen the portal before the ten years. That long wait had been extremely difficult. But now, with Tohr and everyone else that I had left behind added to it, the wait was nearly impossible. The last six months had been torture. I felt like a limb had been completely cut off, and just relearning to function was harder than anything else I had ever done.Unable to handle the mass amount of failure that I had achieved trying to find a way to open the portal, I had turned my attention to something else. Retracing our roots to find out if there was a possibility that we could have come from Draygons. My findings were extremely fascinating to me, and I

"Damn it, Mara. Who the hell taught you to hit like that?" he shouted in a nasal voice, still holding his nose trying to stem the bleeding. I shrugged almost bashfully. "Ummm, honestly, I think it was you." He grumbled under his breath and pulled a piece of cloth out of his back pocket. He was wearing jeans and a t-shirt along with a pair of sneakers that I knew were not standard issue in Draygonia."What the hell are you doing here? How did you get here? Have you seen mom and dad? Are you here alone? What happened?" I began to fire off a list of questions as quickly as they appeared in my head. "Whoa," he replied, wiping his nose. "I'll answer all your questions in a minute. But first… let's get out of this library. Something is watching us, and that is the first thing we need to discuss." Unable to take my eyes off him, fearing he would disappear if I did, I pushed him out of the library and shut the door. The night air was cold and a bit misty. However, my nerves were still ting

Chapter 85I realized that he had been speaking, and I hadn't been listening. "I'm sorry," I said, turning back to him. "I said, did you realize she's the spitting image of Belitria?" he repeated."No," I replied. "I don't think I ever saw a picture of her. Are you sure?" "Yes, her portrait was in one of the books Nerrian had me read when I arrived. Trust me, she is the spitting image," he told me. Gabby popped up next to the bar and handed her cash over to Mr. Wittington with a happy smile. He gave her a very grandfatherly pat on the hand before telling her to go and be safe as he always did with his young female patrons. She just barely kept herself from rolling her eyes at him and promised him she would be safe.Gabby bounced back towards us as quickly and efficiently as she bounced away. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the cloaked figure turn towards her, and seemed to zero in on her. I touched Erik's arm and nodded towards the figure. It didn't take much for Erik to see wh

If anyone else had said that to me, I would have chuckled at how corny they sounded. However, in Tohr's case, I believed he would and could move heaven and earth.A loud clearing of the throat just barely managed to penetrate my mind reminding me that we weren't alone. Reluctantly, I forced myself to break the kiss, yet I still couldn't pull myself out of Tohr's arms. "Wow… I wish I had a guy that would welcome me like that!" Gabby broke in. Blushing, I buried my face in Tohr's neck, breathing in his scent as deeply as I could before finally, reluctantly, pulling myself away from him. "Gabby, this is my mate, King Tohr of the Golden Draygons. This is Gabriella McCaffery. She is the descendant of the Blue Draygons," I introduced them. Treddian stepped into view. "The princess?" he asked in clarification in Draygonian. "Treddian!" I called with glee. I rushed to give him a huge hug. But, at the panicked look on his face, I settled for the traditional pressing our foreheads together

"Mara!" Treddian snapped, getting my attention faster than anything else he could have done. I looked into his eyes and saw the same worry, fear, and heartbreak that I was feeling. "Mara, my own mate is on the other side of that. And true, our mating is not the same as you and Tohr's. But I still feel the pain of his absence. But we cannot go after them. We must stay here. We must stay here and believe they will come back," he said and broke the cardinal rule giving me a quick, hard hug. The surprise must have shown on my face because he flushed and murmured an apology. "Your brother said that in your world, it's not unusual for brothers to hug their sisters to comfort them," he explained, still blushing. "It's not," I replied, quickly giving him another hug. The portal began to pulse harder, and the electrical buzz that it immitted became louder. Everyone stopped and stared at it with anxiety, fear, and hope. Seconds later, Erik flew through and scrambled out of the way an inst

I awoke the next morning, finding myself back to my physical appearance once more. A fact that I made sure of by looking into the pool of purple water right next to where I had woken up. However, my sense of calm was shattered in an instant when I realized that Tohr was gone. In a flash and painlessly much to my relief, I was transformed back to my Draygonian side. -Ohhhkay, we've gotta talk about you taking over. - -We talk later. Must find mate now. - She punctuated her words with a roar that shook the cavern. -Oh, come on, now! - I shouted at her. -You're gonna bring the cave down on us! --Mate!!!- I groaned and tried to physically push at her to get her to go back inside me. It was a very strange moment, trying to push my way back to the forefront of my mind. She pushed back with a growl and, her sheer anger, fear, and strength that came from it overwhelming me. -I will bring our mate back. -She opened her mouth to roar again when a voice cut her off succinctly. "Stop! Ma

Erik stepped closer, and though she grumbled, she allowed him since he smelled of clan, as she put it. He peeked under the bandage and poked at it, causing Tohr to groan in pain. My Draygana growled at him and tried to push forward. It took all my will to shove her back down, but not before my hands were already changing. "Ugh!" I grumbled. "I think it's best if you guys just head back to the village. I need time to get her under control." "We can't do that!" Gabby protested. "You need help taking care of him." "I might. However, we won't get anything done with her threatening to bite anyone that gets close or hurts him," I groaned. "She's right," Erik admitted. "For a new Draygon, it's best if you try not to scare them. If us being so close to her mate bothers her, it's best if we leave her alone." Treddian nodded in agreement. It was proof that Erik had been silently communicating with him. "What about food and freshwater and things like that? Are we seriously gonna leave them

I sighed and allowed her to lull me into sleep. If my mind found it weird that I slept while my Draygana stayed awake, it neither cared nor worried about it because it allowed me to easily fall into a deep sleep. Dreams grew and unfolded into a weird mixture of reality and a horrible fantasy. Pain, blood, and a hungry vengeance colored this new world where Tohr had died, and I was left leading a grey, emotionless existence.I felt restless even in the dream, and I tried and tried to run, but I couldn't get far. The emotions ran so high, my need to escape so great that suddenly I was flying. Soaring high, I felt free, indestructible, powerful as if there was nothing that could hurt me as I was long as I continued to fly away. My eyes were on the ground, searching it ardently. Searching for something; something I needed badly. The colors around me had never been as bright as they were right now. It was beautiful, almost like a photograph that had been airbrushed to perfection. The colo
