Dragon Dream (Completed)

Chapter 8

I wake up early, and rush to the mansion, the rain still the same as it was last night. No guards are out so I just open the front door, and start up the stairs to the second floor.

"Okay, what places did Dylan not take me yesterday?"

We definitely saw this end of the mansion so I need to be where the bedrooms are on the opposite side. The only way to not be spotted is in the garden, no one in their right mind would be out there in this storm.

Or so I though. I thought my eyes where playing tricks on me, as I see a large mass of water in the air. In the same place I was two days ago taking the 'test' for my job I see a familiar face on the ground near the large puddle. Connor? Is he the Water Dragon? I rush closer, trying to get a better view, if he can't see me I can ambush him, but that only works if I can see him clearly. The closer I get, I realize the puddle is more than that, it's in a shape. The shape of a dragon, this is one of the topics Dylan talked about. When a Dragon is trained enough, and has enough of their element they can become stronger by taking their element and encircling themselves in a dragon shape.

The description Dylan gave me was nothing compared to the real thing. It's almost as if an actual Dragon is inside the entire arena, leaving hardly any room. The watery scales look even shaper than my sword, the eyes have a blue glow, it's beautiful and elegant with it's movements, like it's meant to be there. And yet terrifying, knowing such a beautiful power can kill with one swift movement. Realization hits me at my last thought, who is this powerful? If Connor is infront of me than who-

"Dylan! Your over exerting yourself! You need to-" I drop my sword, my mouth agape in shock, this can't be. "Kimi! What are you doing here?"

I continue looking up in shock as Connor talks, I see Dylan's blonde hair moving in the water, his eyes have the same blue glow as the Dragon as he looks at me. He slowly decends, the dragon shape splatting on the ground, as he walks to me.

"Kimi I can explain!"

I feel myself breathing heavy, and I try to catch my breath but I feel as if I'm loosing my air. I see him take another step and he starts talking I can hear but hardly understand, with my mind and heart racing. The loud rain isn't helping either.

"Kimi &^%%****#$ I'm the Water Dragon $^#*%%%#&$ but it's okay you know now! I was worried &^*$%%***** we've gotten close and I-"

All I can hear is my thoughts, and only some of his words, my mind is going faster than my heart beat. Do you know what this means? You have to choose, your friend or you sister. Danica is your only family. You've only known him for a couple days. How do you really feel about him? Who do you care for more? You've already established that you have to kill and your okay with that? You have to kill him, this is the only way! Run!

Even though I can hardly breath I start running, trying my best to escape him, to escape my thoughts. Every time I turn around somehow he is behind me. And this garden practically being a maze doesn't help me, how does he know where I am? Every turn he can find me, every time I try and manuver a way behind him he sees where I am! The only way is to get inside, or go inside the shed not to far from here. He knows me, and he knows I would go inside to escape him so surely he will go inside and I can escape! I slam the door behind me not worried about he nosie because of how loud the rain is and I feel a tear fall down my face.

"No! I swear to the Divine, if I cry again!"

I hate crying, it's an emotion I don't let out very often it's pittyful, and gross. Some poeple say they love a good cry, why? When Danica or Cara cry, I don't mind but me, I won't let myself! Yet here I am crying my eyes out, the salt tears hitting the ground like rain drops
