Ruling darkness

Rena's POV

Waiting in Shae's office till 4am was a long wait. We mainly sat in silence until it was finally time to leave.

The whole time there and now at home I could not stop thinking about the deal she made with Arlo.
Shae is our boss. Her family started the demon hunting society, and when her family died she took over. I've known her for 4 years now since she was 18 and I was 16. She's like a big sister to me. I know about her relationship with Arlo but never judged it because sometimes love just magically happens. However absurd it may sound.

I never had much respect towards Arlo, not because of how he took over Darkonia after his father's death, but for how he abused us or how he controlled every detail of demon hunters. I sometimes hear Shae complain about it. Arlo was a king who didn't want the position at first but when he came too it, it got to his head and he wanted to keep it. Unlike others I dont fear him, I've spent enough time with Kristlyn to know that he's still a fragile boy. Not that I'd use it against him.

It's now 5am and that's about a good time to head of to bed. In Darkonia day time for mortals are night times for the dead. Roles are swapped. Recee, she's one of the loyal members of the "day" watch here. While we rest they make sure that the dragons stay up there and not decide to burn land.

Dragons in Darkonia are special beasts. They are harmless almost all the time. Except when one comes out of hiding and they think we're at battle and they need to kill their enemy. It's happened before. We never kill dragons. They are peaceful and will probably be here longer than any of us.
There's a cliff not far from where Poseidon and his solders are, if you stand there at the right time the whole fleet of dragons fly by and you can watch. I once did that with Jake and Kristlyn, we put up camp for 2 days there and waited. I always wondered where they travel of too. But that's the magical thing about dragons, we dont need to know...we jus need to imagine.

Laying down, finally sleep takes over my body and I get the rest I've been yearning for since 3 this morning.

Jake's POV

"Recee, hope you enjoy the critter we left for you." I said smugly as she entered the locker room.

"Oh Jake how I do love your romantic gestures." She shot back at me.

I moved closer to her, holding her waist. I pulled her to me until we were so close air couldn't even come between us. Slowly leaned my head down and captured her lips into a long kiss. I felt her smile.

"I know you love them." I said in a bliss.

She leaned her head back laughing slightly before pecking me on the lips and escaping my hold.

"You should go home, rest. I heard you had quiet a night." She said caringly as she put her jacket on.

"I wanted to see you first." I said sadly.

"Smile Jake, it's a new day. I be back at our by the time you wake up...we can fool around before you head back here." She said suggestively.

"I'm holding you to it." I smirked.

I got my things ready to leave, but turned to face her.

"I need to tell you something when you come home."

"Is it serious?" Her brows furrowed as she asked.

"No, well depends. We can talk when you get back. Love you, see you at home." I said smiling and kissing her cheeck.

With that I left, trying to figure out how to tell my girlfriend I'm going to be working longer from tomorrow...with Arlo
