The Land Forgotten

Chapter Thirteen

*Pea's POV*

"So, how are you planing on getting Lil' Dragon back?" Drew asked rushing to catch up with me; probobly so he wouldn't get lost. After all it was late at night and using all of that magic probobly made him feel drained. Not to mention he had never been in the forest, as far as I knew.

"I haven't figured that out yet ok? You're just going to have to wait a bit." I was really irritated, and he seemed to have no clue why! I mean wouldn't you get frustrated if you had to rescue your friend that you've been with since you were two from what is most likely another planet?

"But what if Li'll Dragon gets killed! Or Tortured! Or worse... What if someone cut her hair!" He stared at me, totally serious.

"Why the hell would someone want to cut her hair?" I asked him looking at him like he was crazy; because he was.

"W-well I just mean, her hair is really pretty you know? It would be a shame for her to get her hair cut, I think it's great the way it is."

I laughed, "Where the heck do you think of these sorts of things?.... Wait, just let me see if I'm understanding you correctly, you were staring at her hair the whole time you knew her?"

"No." He said. But I could tell, even in the dark, that he was blushing. "She was wearing a wig half of the time I knew her! Imagine how shocked I was when I discovered that she had bright red, dyed hair."

"Ooooh! You have a crush on her!" I teased.

"I do not!" He was blushing harder, he could deny it all he wanted to but it was pointless. "She's with Rock anyway."

"You mean the guy who just turned into a banshee and tried to kill her?"

"Oh yeah..."

"Whatever, we aren't having this conversation right now. But for the record that is Lil' Dragon's real hair colour. She can't dye her hair, it just doesn't work." I sped up my pace. "Come on, we have to visit the library. There's a book I need to get."

"This is no time to read! We need to go save Lil' Dragon!" Drew persisted.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Fine, but we'll still have to go to the library so come on!"

"Why the library?" He asked trying to catch up with me as I sped up my pace.

"I already told you I need to get a book!" I yelled back at him angrily. "OOPH!"

I'd just ran into someone. Glaring down at me, her mousy brown hair tied up into a ponytail was Dragon. "Out for a little romantic moon light stroll?" She sneered. (She had never liked me)

I stood back up. "No actually we were looking for Lil' Dragon... You seen her?" I asked glaring right back at her.

I saw a flash of fear and fury go through her eyes before she glared back at me again. "No, I haven't seen her since she was in the hospital."

"Fine then." I said bitterly, I grabbed Drew by the arm. "Come on let's get out of here." I grumbled and pulled him over to the building that we had turned into a sort of library.

"What was that all about?" He mumbled when we were farther away from Dragon.
