How to Change a Spark

Chapter 31

Jason and I wordlessly snuck back downstairs to his room, and as soon as he closed his door, he whirled around to me and exclaimed, "Since when were they a couple!?" I sighed and eased myself onto his bed, shrugging after I set my crutches beside me.

"From the looks of it, they just did." I said slowly, my mind replaying what had happened. Since when did Kittin like Seto? Did he like her back? How could she not tell me? Jason was reading my expression, and he gave me a cautious glare.

"Samantha, I think it's best if we don't mention this, let them announce it if they want." He warned. I rolled my eyes.

"I'm talking to Kittin." I shot back.

"Why are you so defensive about this?" He questioned. I folded my arms over my chest and glared at him, not replying. He sighed and messed with his sand brown hair, avoiding my sharp gaze.

"Whatever, just... Please don't rile anyone up?" I scoffed quietly and looked away from him, shaking my head before mumbling, "Fine..." He gave me a sympathetic look.

"... Ty's probably awake by now." He murmured. "You should go." I got up with my crutches and wordlessly hobbled to the door, and he opened it for me before quietly shutting it behind me. I sighed inwardly before making my way back to the infirmary, almost running into Ty himself.

"Agh-!" He yelped, catching me before I lost my balance. "Samantha Majo Verona what on earth did you think you were doing!?" He scolded, guiding me into the room immediately and sitting me down on the bed before I could protest.

"I... I'm sorry Ty, I just... Wanted to see the sunset." I mumbled, letting my head hang a little. The anger in his eyes immediately faded, and he sat down next to me.

"I'm sorry, just... Just let me help you, next time?" He pleaded. I nodded, and he hugged me, caressing my cheek gently. I closed my eyes and nuzzled his hand.

"Ok..." I murmured, persuaded. He smiled and gently kissed my forehead, making me blush a little, then I blushed even harder when someone cleared their throat.

"Adam..." Ty sighed impatiently as the sneaky YouTuber walked into the room, smirking. "Must you always ruin the moment?"

"Yup!" He chirped. I rolled my eyes before I got up, with Ty's help.

"What's up?" I asked.

"The sky." With the look I gave him, he quickly changed his answer to, "There's uh... Some dragon people or whatev outside, here cause Wildstar sent them." I quickly brushed past him and 'walked' outside, seeing three dragons sitting in the forest.

"Hullo." I greeted them, noticing Taiga following right behind me, along with Adam and Ty. One dragon immediately sat up, waggling its wings in response.

"Greetings, mortal." Then her gaze went behind me, and she dipped her head. "Greetings Taiga." He dipped his head in response, asking, "I believe Wildstar sent you here Orca?"

"Indeed." Another dragon grunted, glaring at me. I found myself glaring right back at the mythical creature.

"What?" I demanded, hostility sharp in my voice. It growled at me, showing its teeth.

"You stink of sorcery." It hissed. Orca immediately thwacked the dragon with her wing.

"Akatosh!" She admonished. "Be nice, we are guests here." Grumbling, it turned away from me as I still felt anger churn in my chest. Geez, what's up with this punk?

"Oh yeah, and this is Frosty." She nodded to the dragon who had been wise to stay silent, giving a curt nod at the mention.

"You are all welcome, come, let me show you to the camp." Taiga led them away deeper into the forest, and I was still glowering at Akatosh as they lumbered away until I was poked on the top of my head.

"What?" I asked out loud, turning to Ty. He gave me a simple smirk.

"Just checking to see you aren't a zombie. I value my brain quite highly thank you very much."

"What brain?" I scoffed, seeing his mock hurt expression. I laughed and messed with his bangs, shadowing them over his eyes. "I'm kidding... sorta." He glowered at me with a smile as he flicked his head to shake his bangs out of his face.

"If you weren't injured..." He threatened. I rolled me eyes.

"Oh relax lover boy, my magic'll help me heal more quickly, then you can have your fun."
