What Your Love Felt Like-The Dragon Saga

This was illegal.

I had just broken into the library with Draco.

Mystic Joe’s Master told me about a book where he had seen the text. The same words that the Dragon silhouette in my trace had mentioned. It was not a illusion after all.

” Did you find it? ”

Draco whispered.

” No, I need to go higher.”

I whispered back. I was on a stool already but the row was beyond my reach. I searched with the torch light from my cell phone.

Psst! Draco clicked his lips and tongues dejected, then suddenly lifted me by my hip and placed me on his neck. It hurt a little. My V area was still sore. But the task at hand was more important.

” Got it! ”

It was an old tattered book. Looked very much like the one that I had opened.

It was just like the other book. Blank. Just white pages.

I flipped it cover to cover then shoved it in Draco’s face.

” That fools must have tricked us. There is nothing in here. ”

Suddenly I saw a shadow over those pages as I was just about to bang it shut.

My eyes rolled rapidly as words started dancing in front of me again.

” No…”

” Liana what happened? ”

” Draco we need to go now! ”

I grabbed Draco’s hands and ran for my car. There was no time to explain.

I drove like crazy. Didn’t heed even a single light at the signals. Tickets and fines were the least of my worries at the moment.

I ran up to the elevator. Went straight to the terrace.

Draco caught up within a few minutes. He found me sitting beside the bloodied body of Mystic Joe’s Master.

” Couldn’t make it in time Draco. We are late! ”

I checked for the pulse. But it was useless. He was lying on a blood pool.

” It’s a dragon’s doing. That scratch doesn’t belong to any animal from this world. ”

I felt something under his dress as I touched the body beside the wound.

It was a paper under his innerwear. I pulled it out carefully. It was crumbled and it was torn from a book.

Opening it made me jump up.

” Draco… Damian! ”

was all that came out of my tongue.

Draco didn’t know what I meant. But he was spontaneous. He grabbed my hands and we ran like thieves on the run.

” Move! ”

he ordered as my hands started shaking at the driver’s wheel.

He pressed the wheel. Before I could even put on the seat belt, the roads started zooming in.

” Call your mother. ”

That was indeed a good idea.

The ring went unanswered two times. My mother was probably dead asleep .

” Ha-Low! ”

that was how her sleepy ass answered.

” Where is Damian? ”

” Lia na! it’s the middle of the night… what do you mean? The poor lad is probably sleeping his ass off… ”

” I need you to check. Right now. Don’t hang up. Keep on talking to me . ”

I hadn’t talked to her in normal times for that long. Of course she was puzzled and worried .

Her voice went from sleepy to deep,

” What’s happening Liana? ”

” Just do what I asked. Please. For once listen to me without questions and explains. ”

Guess she felt that. A mother’s desperate plea.

” Okay! ”

I could hear her putting on her night cardigan. Switching on the light. Putting on the slippers and then walking.

” A crazy girl I have got… ”

I could hear her murmuring.

Then I heard doors creaking.

” Damian… ”

I heard my mother call out Damian in the most grandmotherly was possible.

” There he is. Sleeping sound like a baby… well that’s what he is. Why the hell are you getting so paranoid in the middle of the night like this crazy girl… you should have atleast cared about my age before taking such a revenge. My back hurts… ”

” Are you sure there is nothing wrong mother. Look carefully around. ”

My heart was drilling like a machine gun. I could not let my ears get deceived by the comforting words from my mother. There was definitely more.

Then I heard her talk. Not to me but to somebody else inside Damian’s room.

” Who the hell… What the… Boys… Boys… ”

I could hear the intensity in her voice.

” Draco speed up. Somebody is there in Damian’s room.”

My voice was shaking as I glued my ears to the phone. The noises were barely audible at the moment.

Then I heard my mother yell.

” Draco, I said SPEED UP. ”

I pressed the accelerator over his feet.

He had slowed the car down for a valid reason. The acceleration took us straight towards the oncoming truck. The car rammed into the vehicle.

The air bags pressed us back as the phone flipped out of my hand.

I started feeling wet all over.

Then turned towards Draco. His eyes were closed. I was about to yell again.

He was supposed to be the stronger one.

My Damian’s life was in danger. What was I supposed to do.

ThenI realised what was causing the wetness.

My body was pierced everywhere with the broken window glasses that flew in from the truck.

With trembling, bloody hand I touched Draco’s cheek.

” Draco, wake up. Draco… Draco please. I need you. Damian needs you. Don’t you let us down like this! ”

I was shaking him feebly. My blood was dripping down his stubble, falling in drops over his chest.

” Draco… ”

My voice was cracking. I had no more strength left. Was this the end then?

It didn’t matter if it was mine.

But what about the Dragon realm? Was it going to lose a king and prince, all at once.

I rubbed my palm against his nose bridge.

More blood droplets seeped through his lips.

” That is no way to wake anybody up. You taste of iron , you know! ”

Draco held my hand. His eyes were still closed but he was talking with his sassy accent.

I didn’t know if I was supposed to smile or laugh.

Then he opened his eyes.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Blood red eyes. His hair started turning milky white.

I would have jumped up high even if I was lying as a corpse in a casket.

The Dragon Lord was back.

He was back with his darkness.
