Take Me Down

14

He pulled at the air with his powers and I watched in amazement, still scared of the man who held me close to him. I watched as the trees beneath us vanished and we dropped to the ground, right next to his car. I whimpered when the driver opened the door and Aaron sat me down next to him.

"Dragons heal fast, you should be fine in about a day." The fireman said, and I nodded slowly, laying back in my seat. Aaron sat down next to me and I moved over slightly in my seat. He grabbed my hand and I felt our connection, not being able to resist at the moment. I moved closer to him and laid my head against his shoulder, cuddling up to him. I shifted my foot and cried out softly, Aaron touching my cheek with his index finger.

Another two hours in the vehicle and we stopped finally. I looked at my foot, shifting it slightly as I watched it. It 'healed' slightly, and I wiggled my toes, scrunching my face up in pain.

"Hey, it's going to be okay. We'll be okay." Aaron cooed and I rolled my eyes not looking at him. The fireman and the other one were already outside, sadly I still did not know their names.

The only reason I ran earlier was so that Claudius and Ethan had the chance to get away safely and go tell Avery, Cornelius and Cassie what has happened. In any other case, I should never have a good reason to run from my mate...

Aaron picked me up and walked me up to a big ass house. Damn it was nice, I thought, then shook my head. Dark oak siding, a large white door and giant windows. It looked to be about three stories tall and it was very wide, which meant it could be larger on the other side from what I could see.

"Steve, could you get our driver to fix the back wheel, it needs air," Aaron said to the fireman. I laughed really hard when he said Steve's name. I mean, come on, Steve? Why would you do that to your child?

Steve glared at me and I laughed at him.

"John," Aaron called for the other man and I just couldn't stop full on laughing. John growled at me and Aaron growled back at him. Like you'd think that they wouldn't have such generic white ass names but they do!

Aaron must have had enough of my laughing at them because he threw me into the air and I yelped. I plummeted back down and right into his arms.

"Hey!" I screeched at him, giggling a bit. I do have to admit, he did catch me off guard, which is hard for people to do.

He rolled his eyes and we continued into the house. The main entrance was huge with a chandelier hanging down right inside the front door.

The old doors were dark oak wood inside the house; the house contained several rooms for who knows what. I looked at Aaron who kept his face stern as we passed a few people in the halls of his presumed home.

"This is my study. This is where you will find me if you don't know where I am, unless of course we're not home. You'll always come with me when I leave because I don't trust anyone but myself to be fully capable of your protection..." He said as he went on about some of the history of this house and how long it has been in his family. I groaned internally; I could take care of myself.

"My family has always been magical in one way or another. None of us were ever human except for my sister. Out of everyone down the line of hundreds of relatives, my sister was the one who ended up powerless and helpless." He said, shaking his head.

We entered a giant room full of books up to the ceiling. It was an amazing room. I tapped Aaron's shoulders so he could let me down. I tested my foot and I showed him that I was able to walk as I shifted the bone so it healed completely. I looked around the room, looking at all the books his family must have collected over the many centuries that they have encountered. I shifted into my dragon form and went up to a ledge where a few dusty books sat.
