A Dragon's Heart

Addie

Recap: "Really?" I said.

"Yes. It was just this morning, when the sun rose, that I awoke. I walk out of my room when I hear like, 100 of those little demon traps go off. It scared the Hades out of me! I could have died!"

"That's awful! Maybe we should, get him back." I said, mischievously smiling.

"I like the way you think."

"So what should we do?" She asked me, suddenly thinking really hard. After a couple of minutes she shrugged, and I started to think.

"I got it!" I shouted, having an epiphany. "So did you realize how Will always sits in the same spot on the couch? Well, we'll tell him we need to have a meeting in the dining room, but we fill his spot with eggs. Then we say we need to go, not giving him time to change, and put feathers in the drivers seat of the car, so he'll have a feathery butt," I concluded my stroke of genius.

"Pure genius," Aeolia said as she held a hand over her heart and shook her head slightly.

"Why, thank you."

"I'm going to take a quick shower, then we'll do something about the revenge plan. We need to find feathers," she said as she stood up.

"Alright. I'm going to take a quick shower too."

Each room had it's own bathroom and from what I could remember, the closet was filled with clothes. It might have not been my style but there might be something in there for me to wear. I got up and headed towards the bedroom I slept in last night, when I heard the faint sound of rat traps going off.

"For Zeus's Sake!" I heard an irritated Aeolia say. I chuckled and went towards the closet to see what I can find.

What I found wasn't what I expected. It was all colorful clothing of name brand that Aeolia would have loved. I picked out the pieces of clothing that didn't irritate me the most and went to take a shower. Washing my hair and leaving myself as good as new, I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around myself. I wiped the mirror so I could see myself really quick, trying to make sure that there was nothing on my face (I had pancakes a minute ago. I don't want to have a sticky face). When I glanced at my eyes, I saw someone else's eyes staring back at me. His cold, dark eyes taunted me as he closed the hatch of the basement he left me in. I got up and ran to the door, trying to pound on it. When I felt glass shatter beneath my hand, I was brought back to the bathroom.

Damn, I thought. I thought I was getting better. Damn changes.

Changes always triggered me. New school year, triggered. New house, trigger. New brother, trigger. High school, trigger. Even the smallest change in my room, like a new poster or the movement of furniture triggered me and I had to go sleep with mom and dad for a few days.

I sighed as I put on the clothes and went to brush through my hair when Aeolia walked into the room. She was wearing a dark shirt and camo pants.

"I think I got your closet," she laughed. "I like your clothes. They're really comfortable."

"I think I got yours. Your clothes choke my boobs," I tell her, trying to stretch them out.

"Trade?" She asked.

"Trade," I agreed, and we rushed into each others rooms as I changed out of her clothes and into mine.

"So much better," I sighed as I tied the last bow on my combat boots.
