As promised, Liam came by early in the morning. He knocked at the door and my dad answered and led him in to sit in the living room. I don’t know what the conversation was, but my dad would ask 20 questions and give him a hard time.I dashed to get ready, throwing my hair in a bun, putting on a sweatshirt, and wearing leggings. I slip on my tennis shoes. Liam looks very unconformable as I enter the front room after rushing down the stairs. I giggle and he looks up at me and he smiles. God, his smile makes me melt. Ari was purring in satisfaction.I finally tore my eyes away from Liam and gave a smile to my dad, “Good morning Dad, “I said sweetly. He was still scowling at Liam while saying, “Good morning, princes” without taking his eyes off Liam.I kissed his cheek, which brought his attention to me.“Dad, I see you have met my friend Liam. “I responded matter-factly. Liam smiled as he turned to me.“Yes, I was getting to know him, he said.“He came by because we need to talk to you an
I know what you’re thinking. I lied about myself and what I was, but I kept thinking about the women who appeared to me, telling me I needed to protect Zayla.I thought it was the right thing to do because I had a strong feeling that Zayla needed me.Even if I get penalized by the council, Ron suggested he would keep them off my case and not answer any calls from my father.I couldn’t explain why I felt so drawn to her, why I questioned everything I knew, what I had been taught to do, everything that was drummed in me.For a girl, I only knew for a short time, but being next to her seeing her smile, and laugh, oh that laugh is enchanting.The way her eyes lit up when she was happy and how the sparks that erupted when we touched or hugged made me feel things. I didn’t know where possible I was an excellent warrior, always following orders.She wasn’t like those monsters, neither was her family.Alex and Zander went too far in attacking Zayla and her friend. I made a silent promise to ma
As the week passed, tensions ran high at both my and Zayla’s houses with planning the trip to Cordiva. I have been having such a bad feeling since I heard that voice a couple of weeks ago, so I upped the training. We had combat training along with defensive and even added weapons so that even though Zayla hadn’t shifted yet, she could protect herself.“Now Imagen that you have someone coming at you from a distance, Close your eyes and call on your fire. After you have, it opens your eyes and aims.” I instructed Zalya,She nods in agreement. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, then brings her hand palm out and a moment later a fireball appears hovering above her hand. And dancing to its hypnotic song. Then her eyes snap open and she throws the fireball toward the Mannikin. It hits it with a swoosh, setting it on fire.“Great job you're doing amazingly well!! I examined.She smiled as we put out the flames and called it a day. Zayla had been working extremely hard training her b
I was in sheer shock, peering down at Zayla. I was covered in blood, not sure if it was mine or Zayla’s. I had no feeling of pain despite fragments of glass littering my whole body and torn clothes... I focused all my energy on Zayla as fear crept up my spine. Seeing her writhing in pain and screaming every time one of her bones shifted or cracked. Attempting to reshape to create space for her dragon form. I kept my attention on Zayla, as I try to soothe her with calming energy flowing from my fingertips to settle over her, but to no avail. It wasn’t helping.I needed to get her to her sister quickly before this shift kills her. I gaze up, inspected my surroundings, attempting to find my phone, but I couldn’t find it, not willing to leave Zayla’s side because of the idiots. I turned my attention to Alex, still standing in the same place blankly, like a deer in the headlights. Looking pasted him, I luckily do not see any sign of Zander. but I didn’t want to give myself a chance to do
They fully prepared me to see my twin sister, eventually.. In a few weeks, I was preparing my things when sudden pain shot through my entire body, causing me to double over in pain.. so we could finally be able to shift. I knew about her since I was small from my guardian’s. A few weeks back, I started experiencing the manifestation of my powers. As my fire burned brightly, I couldn't help but notice that its hue was a unique shade of blue. It was at that moment that my dragon, named Makhlai (although she prefers to be called Katie for short), communicated with me. I acknowledge her sassy personality, but I still feel grateful to have her in my life. With immense dedication, my guardians instructed and trained me to master the art of earth and water element magic. For my sister and me to have powers like invisibility, mind-link, mind control, and teleportation, she needs to become queen and control all three abilities... My guardians tell me that my sister will harness air and ice,
“Hun, you have five minutes to get down here and get some breakfast, or I’m coming up there”, my mom shouted up the stairs angrily. “I am coming, “I called. The last year at school is not something I am looking forward to. I just wanted to fast-forward to the end of the year. Most girls would look forward to their senior year and the dances, homecoming, and prom, but not me; I just wanted to be done. The kids at school were rude. I mean, except for my two best friends in the world, Jenifer and Amanda, I met them in elementary; we have been so close ever since. I rolled over and picked up my phone and shot off a group text to Jenifer and Amanda that I was running late and would meet them after 1st period. So, I jumped out of bed and headed to the closet to pick out my first-day outfit; I must admit that back-to-school shopping was the only thing I looked forward to picking out the first outfit for school. I felt it was the most important part.I picked a baby blue blouse a jean skirt
It looked like it was getting pretty late as I opened up my eyes I figured I must have dozed off and I better get back to my house as I was laying there I heard footsteps and the crunching of the leaves scared me I sat straight up and turned towards the noise seeing a tall figure moving towards I jumped up, my head still throbbing matching the pounding of my heart as my mind began to race.The figure was getting closer I started to slowly move backward so I could have a clear path enough to run, I noticed it was a boy about my age he looked like he was about 5"7 dark hair and a toned build like he was a football player or something he was getting closer and I end up bumping into a tree. I started to panic so I yelled out “HEY stop don’t come any closer “The boy stopped in his tracks don’t come any closer, trying to look for an exit, I scanned the area around the boy but he was blocking the exit. “Are you okay? That wound looks bad., Can I look? “he asked with a gentle voice.“No, no, “
I fell right asleep when I entered my room last night exasperated from everything that happened yesterday when I woke up it must have been still pretty early because it was still dark so I got up and got ready and went for a run, my routines are going to have to be different now because before I would’ve of be training with the other soldiers.After I got back from running, I got a quick shower and got dressed, Cassie went shopping for me as I laughed to myself the only thing we got were hand-me-downs from the other guys or donations but she bought me a whole wardrobe in the time I was gone yesterday lord know how she knew my size I would have to ask her.As I was getting things ready for my first day, I just couldn’t believe how much things had changed in a few days. Not sure how I would pay both Cassie and Ron back for all their kindness, but I would, and that was a promise.I mean, even my family didn’t treat me that way, especially my father. He didn’t even bother to say goodbye, a

Jenifer got to my house. No one was home. My parents explained to me they came clean to my sisters about what happened that night, that we all were shifters, and that they would not be shifting until the magic seal was removed when they were 18 years old. You would guess right, they were unhappy about it and they were upset at me about how I messed up their plans, etc... My mother told me to give them some time and they would come around. It was a significant change because they would come with us when we prepared to leave in a couple of months to a whole other realm, which I was still trying to wrap my mind around. They would start their training for me come future Queen’s guard as my parents did. I was looking forward to meeting my sister, me and Ari had contacted her a few times. We got to know each other a lot more. It was like finding your other half. I grew up with my sister, but never really had that connection with them. My sister’s dragon’s name was Katie. She mentioned th
After the confrontation with my parents, a few weeks passed. Everything seems to have gotten back to normal after I came back to school. I avoided any problems with Mariah and Holli and also avoided Zander and Alex as well, which wasn’t easy.Since we couldn’t get away from Liam, Jenifer thought it would be a good idea to stay close to him. He was waiting for me before school or after one of my classes and insisted on walking to each of my classes, which I didn’t mind, and neither did Ari.The commentary from Ari made me better at controlling my facial expression. She was very sassy and enjoyed being around Liam, from his smell and his sexy voice, to the sparks I would feel when he would accidentally touch me. I wonder if he could feel it as well.My training began slowly. I would protest every time Jenifer just laughed at me and told me to stop whining, and how she wonders I am an all-powerful dragon which lit a fire within me and Ari growled saying we need to get stronger and show he
Have you ever had that feeling you were floating? having an out-of-body experience? That is what I am feeling right now. My life in a few short months had just shattered because of the bomb that had just dropped on me. The things I thought I knew were not true.Ari had been silent. She was angry, hurt, and sad. I felt numb after my blow-up. There was a knock at the door. I hoped whomever it was would leave. Someone walks in after I hear another knock and a turn of the door. But I didn’t bother looking up, I pressed my face into my pillow. The person was sitting on the edge of my bed.The person just sat there for a moment, sighed, and then I looked up, whipping the tears away that were pouring down my cheeks, seeing Jenifer staring at me with a sad expression. “Are you okay Zayla? As she pulled me into a hug, she asked. I moved away from her. “I don’t think I’ll be okay for a long time. How did my life get so turned upside down? It’s a lot to process.” I said, exhaling.“I get it Zayla
I watched as that girl Zayla left with her friend; She was the individual we had been hunting for. The moron has been protecting her here all this time.I could feel the magic emanating from her. She is mighty powerful and that jackass Liam must be helping her.He was up to no good, and I knew he was a rat. Liam was a weak warrior, Well I will kill two birds with one stone, as the saying goes. I will be the head warrior and General after I get rid of that creature.I have been dreaming of that since I was small. Liam didn’t even try. He had everything given to him because of who his father is, but consorting with the filthy shifters is treason and is a death sentence. But of course, we require proof and I am determined to get it.Liam is going to make a mistake, and we will catch him. At all times, we will keep an eye on him.“Well, thanks for making my friend uncomfortable and forcing her to leave. She was great until you showed up “, Liam said, scowling at me.I just laugh at him.
