Dragonsoul-Awakening

Chapter 9

I stared up at the ceiling of my room, gasping for air as sweat was running down my body, trying to figure out what the hell happened. I sat up, groaning in pain as I managed to calm down.
I looked down at my body and noticed that most of my upper body was covered in bandaids. My hand ran over the treatments, touching my left arm and whining in pain.
What the hell happened???
I looked around and saw....
"...Elektra?!?!?" I yelped. My dragon was sleeping in MY ROOM. IN THE MIDDLE OF A DRAGON-KILLER VILLAGE.
Elektra's head shot up and looked at me, her tail was wagging with joy as she jumped up at me "SPARKING HELL VELA YOU'RE LIVE!" She jumped on to my bed, licking my face. "E-elektra! Stop it! You are drowning me! Stoooopppp!" I laughed, trying to get my dragon off from me. "Well well now Elektra, get off, she needs rest" a familiar voice said. I panicked and turned around, seeing my mom on the door with some things in her hand. "O-oh god, m-mom this....i....wait....." I blinked and she sighed, walking closer and putting her things down, sitting on the chair next to my bed. "Your dragon came in through the window one day.....she almost gave me a heartattack, but Oswald was there as well, explaining everything to me...." Her hand reached out and Elektra licked her hand off. I felt how guilty build up in me and i looked down, ashamed of myself. "..... everything....?". "Everything" she sighed again, taking my hand. "Why didn't you tell me anything? I know Oswald said you shouldn't.....but i am your mom....you know you can trust me...." Tears filled her dark eyes. "M-mom i-i-i'm so sorry...." I gulped down, pulling her into a hug "i didn't want to scare you....or risk anything". Elektra joined our hug with a soft purr, resting her head in my lap, looking up at us with her yellow eyes. Taraji calmed down again, drying off her tears. "W-well...at least i know not all dragons are bad...." She looked down, petting Elektra's snout who started purring louder. "To be honest....i can't really think that she could do any harm...just look at that face" she said, scratching her behind her headspikes, making the skrill tilt her head. I smiled at the scene and then remembered something. "D-dagur....i-i-is he alright? A-and those men...who were they??" I asked,  begging that my friend was alright. Taraji looked at me. "He's fine....he suffered a lot of bruising and burns, but he woke up a few days ago. Those men..." She hesitated. She took my hand. "Sweety, it doesn't matter to me that you have powers, or from where you came from, just know that i love you, alright?" I looked up with confusion. "Mom....what happened?" She bit her lip. "...some of them...got injured and are in prisons right now. But most of them....where....killed by the attack...." I stared at her.
What
I....
I....
"I killed them....?" I whispered, shocked at what i have done. She hugged me tightly. "You didn't knew sweety, you didn't do it on purpose. You were trying to save your friend and yourself, it's alright". I started shaking uncontrollably, hugging her back. I always knew I would have to fight for my life and kill someone, but it was so soon. Too soon. I bit my lip to stop myself from crying as my mother was stroking my hair, Elektra snuggling into me as well as her was to comfort me as well.

After i calmed down, Taraji shooed Elektra out of my room through my giant Window and let me rest again. I hugged my pillow, trying to wrap everything around my head.
The injured and dead vikings....
Saoirse .....
My powers.....

I reached out, trying to make a small amount of energy, like i often did. Within a second, a ball had formed growing almost twice the size i could normally do. I let out a yelp, pulling my hand back to my chest, stopping the magic from escalating. I gasped, shaking again at the amount of energy that flowed through my body.
A knock at my door made me look up as it swung open.
"...d-d-dagur?"
He looked awfull. His eye was swollen and blue, a swollen cheek , his nose looked even more crooked  and his arm was bound against his chest. Even though he looked worse, he still smiled as he saw me. "knew you would come around Blueeyes". He sat next to me "how ya doing?"
"Awfull". I whispered back, trying to get my heart back to a normal beat. "Ha! Can totally agree, guess you feel like that when you get hit by lightning!" I froze up, looking at him.
Did he saw?
Does he know?
"Dang that was awesome! Scary and painful, BUT AWESOME. Uuuhhhhhh hope i could see that to someone, just to get a deja Vu!" I looked away. "W-what did you see.....i-i can't remember...." I lied. "Same! Kinda. My vision was quite blurred due to rain and those hits. Ohhhh if i see those morons, imma make sure they will suffer more then we did combined...." He clenched his fists. "Dagur...." "Oh, yeah right! I noticed your scream. And then FWOSCH! LIGHT! One second later that burning feeling! And then black! Poof! Then i woke up here!". My heart ached by the thought i hurt my friend. "guess you got the bigger blow though, look at your arm! Totally going to leave a great battle scar! Vela, hit by lightning and survived! Vela, the lightning striker! Ha! Great title for later!" He nudged my shoulder, but i wasn't feeling it. I looked away. He noticed my discomfort and let out a sigh. He got up, and went to my door. "Glad your ok blueeyes...." He said before leaving my room. As soon as I was sure i was alone, the tears ran down my face as I silently sobbed.
