The Dragons Heart

Chapter eight. Sweet embrace

As i sat in my bed i mindlessly watched tv and pondered what i had resonantly been told...Kim isn't my mouther, what does that even mean?  All i wanted to do was sleep, but I couldn't, not after what just happened. "Let me try to clarify. You see i am actually Rin's mouther but I've been raising you because...well how do i put this...you mouther was my parter." I remember What Kim had Told me only an hour ago. That means Kim is a shifter and I'm a halfling  between a dragon and...I'd guess a human, for all i know I could be fricking half elf. I thought through it once again. I had never met my father, and i never really cared to ask. A single tear rolled down my cheek. "Who am I?" I asked myself, the words echoed in my head. Over and over again and with every time it echoed another tear went streaming down one after another. "Cory?" I heard the sound of Rin's quiet and soft voice behind my closed door. "Yes?" I answered trying to hold back sobs. He opened the door and walked straight to the side of my bed, sat down...and hugged me with out saying a single word. I quickly hugged him back and cried on his chest for what seemed like an eternity, and when i had finally finished crying i looked up at him. He had fallen asleep with me in his warm embrace. With nothing but the sound of his consistent heart beat to fill the room i too, feel asleep.
