Family or weapons

Chapter 11

No one's POV 

The storm raged on outside with snow and hail pouring down from the dark gray clouds above while the wind howled furiously with thunder roaring above, and the lighting streaking and lighting up the sky. 

Harold's men had tried to search for the experiments and their human friends but, after the storm hit they had to call off the search and return to base. This gave all the experiments a chance to breathe but while everyone slept through the night Jordan had awoken and managed to slip out from underneath Coral's hand and slide off her belly onto the cold hard stone floor with a slight thud. 

Jordan's POV 

He wanted to see what kind of supplies they had since David was the only one to grab a pack before they escaped the base. So after a few minutes of laying out the gear, he was greatly displeased with what they had. 

Jordan: "Hmp this isn't good at all." He said frustrated. "All we got is five days' worth of rations, two water canteens, twenty feet of rope, a single-person tent, one sleeping bag, survival knife, shovel, cooking supplies, a flashlight, and finally six mags for our pistols." 

Jordan brought his hands up to his nose and pinched the bridge while trying to keep himself cool. 

Jordan: "This won't last us three days, we need to get more but with David hurt and Harold still hunting us that will be a big problem." He said while looking around at the four giant bodies around him. "And I don't see how we can feed you all too while keeping us hidden."

Jordan then looked down to the ground and closed his eyes trying to think of something that would help them out in surviving. 

Jordan: "I have led countless missions, many soldiers into battle with minimum casualties, so why is it so hard for me to make a plan about what to do now?" He said frustrated yet with a hushed voice. 

Draco: "Well then why not let me help you out." He said in a whisper.

He looked up and saw that the massive dragon had looked not only awoken from his sleep but while keeping on his side 

No one's POV 

Draco: "It seems you forgot that you had four giants that are ready to help you out." He said with a small smile

Jordan returned his smile with his own. "I didn't but I don't want to force you all to be constantly getting things for us since.."

Draco then leaned in and let out a huff of warm breath from his nostrils that blew on Jordan which made him become quiet.

Draco: "Jordan not only have you treated us with kindness and respect over these years but, you have also granted us freedom from a life of slavery that we never asked for. So if repaying you means going out and gathering some supplies for you then that is something I believe that we can do." He said with a warm smile. 

Jordan once again let out a sigh and looked to the ground thinking about what he can do or say in this moment. After a few seconds, he looked back up at the massive dragon and with a smile of his own said. 

Jordan: "You know I don't hold anything against you and the others Draco so you don't owe me anything." He said truthfully. 

Draco smiled happily and leaned in and nuzzled Jordan in the chest for a second then pulled away. 

Draco: "I know but you are the closest thing we............ I have to a father so I don't know about the others but I will do anything for you and Luke." He said honestly. 

Jordan couldn't believe what he had heard from Draco and it clearly showed on his face as he stared in awe at the great dragon. Draco on the other hand saw Jordan's emotions and picked him up gently being mindful of Jordan's injury and, held him up to his face then used his thumb to rub Jordan's head. 

Draco: "I always listened to how you would talk about Luke, and then when you brought him to us I got to see how you treated him and saw that it was the same way you treated us." He said simply. " I guessed that you were trying to father us just like you did with Luke right?" He asked curiously. 

Jordan: "I guess I have been." he said with a little chuckle. " Well, then what do you propose we do then?" 

Now it was Draco's turn to be confused as he never thought Jordan would ask him something like that.

Draco: "Why would you ask me that I thought you would know what to do?"

Jordan laughed a bit more. "Well, part of being a father is asking and hearing what your children have to say so I want to know what we should do next." 

Draco thought about it for a moment. The cave went silent again with the only noises being the sound of the wind blowing outside and the gentle snores of the others that were in the room. Jordan sat patiently in Draco's hand for his answer.

Draco: "Well I think we should at least move out off the mountains and try to find some new place to lay low since  there isn't really anywhere to hide or a source of food that would satisfy all of us." He said simply while looking at Jordan. 

Jordan: "Hmm that would be a good idea, and luckily for you, there is a forest nearby that is thick enough to hide all of you and I have heard from some of the guards that there is plenty of game to hunt there." 

Draco: "But what happens if Harold comes for us there?" 

Jordan only smiled and then reached out and placed a hand on the dragon's snout. 

Jordan: "Then we will fight and show him and all who follow him that we are a true force to be reckoned with." He said happily. 

Draco smiled happily and was about to say something when all of a sudden they heard a sharp gasp of worry. Both Draco and Jordan looked over only to see Coral who had a panicked look on her face while looking at her while she was looking on her belly and around her. 

Coral: "No no no no where did he go did I drop him in my sleep?" She said breathing quickly in a small panic. 

Draco: ".."Cough"......Um Coral looking for this guy?" He said while holding up Jordan. 

Coral looked over to Draco and upon seeing Jordan she quickly calmed down but was still a bit curious as to how Jordan got with Draco.

Coral: "Wait did you grab him from me Draco?" 

Jordan: "No Coral, I slipped out from under your hand so I could check on our supplies, and Draco here woke up and wanted to talk for a bit." He said honestly. 

Coral: "O ok well at least you are alright." She said while leaning back into her sleeping position. "I'll see you all in the morning." She said before falling asleep again." 

Jordan: "(Chuckling) Goodnight Coral see ya till then." He then looked back to Draco. "Alright, Draco now you and I need to figure out how we are able to get down the mountain without getting spotted. However, we do need to find some supplies for Luke, David, and myself. "

Draco: "Well then Dad lets get planning cause when the sun rises I would like it if we left this place for good." 

Jordan smiled and the two of them started talking together about different ways they could accomplish their goals. But unknown to them Harold was in a second titan lad that Jordan wasn't aware of looking at what he called vengeance which he hoped would get rid of all his problems for good.
