No Longer Freedom

18. Aftermath.

Tom's POV

I woke up to the sound of birds singing outside and the sun beams smooth my oddly light skin. Everything was peaceful. The only thing that I had truly needed was just to stay silent and rest but something caused me to jolt. A piercing pain in my lower back. Burning feeling in my butt and pressing ache in the beginning of my tail. "Feeling like another round?" A smoky man's voice spoke softly. His hard hands rubbed my bare shoulder gently while I felt his fleshy chest against my red cheek.

All of the sudden, reality hit me like a fist. I snapped out of my slumber and stared at the smirking hair horned man."Oh no...Don't say we-" I stuttered and covered myself by my wings. "Oh, yes we did." That wily snake snorted arrogantly. "Get out!" My shrill voice shouted. "Wha-" "Get out! Get out!!! GET OUT!!!" I stopped Tord's question and pointed at the entrance of the cave. "Yikes, why so angry? You didn't seem like you were having such a bad time last night." He hummed. Putting on his clothes, I felt a racing disturbing feeling in my stomach. A pressure. Panic. Shaking. Cold sweat dripped down my forehead while it reached my screaming heart. "I wish I could go back in time..." I whined. Burying face into my palms in embarrassment, Tord decided to speak up. "So you could enjoy it again? I know I was good, but you will have to behave to get your treats." He snorted while petting my horns. "NO! To fix this awful mistake." I held back my tears. It felt like the whole world were about to crash.

"Well, this didn't mean anything anyways so whatever." Tord said carelessly as he stood up.

My eyes widened. Something wasn't right. No. It was pain, drilling one. My heart cracked a bit. Even though it was just emotional pain, it was as strong as if it would had become real. Something about that sentence squeezed my heart so hard that I wanted to scream. "heh..." Tord turned his head towards me. With guessing eyes his eyebrows frowned. "What are you laughing about?" His tone became sharp and serious.

"Of course it didn't mean anything! Did you think it would be some kind of an insult or surprise?! It's not my problem that you have commitment issues, you can't stay loyal to anybody. Did you really think I haven't heard anything about the way you sleep with every pretty woman, just to get value out of it!? You are tarty! You don't have a brain! You're wasting my time! You are not important to me! Nobody broke your heart, you broke it on your own! That doesn't mean you can do anything you want like a bitch, just because you're in a mood!!! SO FUCK OFF!!! DON'T TALK TO ME AGAIN!!" I laughed maniacally with salty tears in my eyes.

Reaching my breaking point, I grabbed my clothes with my palsied hands. "I didn't think any less of it! It was just a game for you. You and your selfish dick can get the fuck away from my sight!" I snapped.

Staring down at me, Tord's serious eyes darkened. His smirk faded with the playful attitude of his. The air started feeling heavier around us. Choking... like the snake choked its prey. "What are you waiting for?! A thank you? Go! I will take care of Billy, because you can't even do that! Imagine! Another human can't take care of its own kind! A child!! No you can't even do that and a dragon has to do it for you." I growled deeply. After dressing up I walked closer to the gross man in front of me. I sharpened my claws threateningly, just to remind him about my nature. If I would had wanted to slice him into pieces I could had done it but... I still had some type of faith in him.

"I thought you'd be different." He spat on the ground. Turning his back at me coldly, He disappeared into the dawn. "And I thought you'd change..." I sniffed.

After the typhoon, came the sorrow storm. Only then the sun could had shine again and show all the terror that the typhoon had made. And so my eyes started to get wet. I took a strong inhale of the dusty air into my lungs, held it for a while and then let it all out. I had to clear my thoughts. Everything. Everything were so messy. Feelings. Needs. Morals. They felt all the same. The only thing I could had thought of was him... Tord...
