The Keeper Of The Dragon Heart

Chapter 2:

it's 6:00pm and I'm now coming home from school after some late night studying. I dump my bag at the front door entrance and realize how freaking hungry I am, which reminds me of this mornings note. I walk over to the counter and grab the money my mother left and decide to order pizza.

a few minuets later and I hear my doorbell ring. I get off the couch and head to the door. I open the door and standing there Is a tall cocky looking male with messy hair and he honestly looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here right now.

" Large Pepperoni pizza with honey garlic chicken wings" he said lazily. I took the pizza and the bag with my wings from his hands and catch him peaking into my home.

" Hey, are you home alone?"

"uh... yeah. why?"

"Oh, I was just wondering since I'm almost done my shift we could uh-" I didn't even let him finish his sentence.

" Fuck off!" I slam the door in his face and put the food on the coffee table then remember I forgot to tip him. I walk back to the door and open it to find him standing in the same spot with a mix of confused, mad and offended.

" Forgot to tip" I put a quarter in his hand and he looks up at me with pure shock.

"What kind of shitty tip is this?"

"Hey a shitty tip for shitty service am I right?"

"Now fuck off again!" I slam the door once again in his face and return to my seat on the couch. I watch a few hours of Netflix then get ready for bed. it was now already 11:00 and my mom has still yet to come home. I ignore the thought and let the dark world of sleep embrace me.

I woke up the next morning feeling as if I haven't even slept a wink.
"Well fuck. I don't want to get up" I complained but got ready for the morning nonetheless. I setteld on a red huddie and black ripped skinny jeans. I headed downstairs and found a birthday card on the counter. That's when I remembered that it was my birthday. I picked up the card and opened it only to find two hundred spill out onto the floor. I ignored the money and focused on the short writing. A small note.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEMPHIS!!!
Have a good 15th Birthday.

A small smile found it's way to my face. I picked up the money and put it in my bag. I start to plan out the planes I have for my birthday tonight as I head out the door.

(AT SCHOOL)

I walk into the world of loud chattering coming from kids in and around my age. I start to walk towards my locker and found it covered in decorations. It had HAPPY BIRTHDAY in blue and red sparkly bolded letters. It also had big black skulls scattered throughout my locker. Behind me I heard a familiar loud high pitched scream.
"Ahhh!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEMPHIS!!!" I turned around and was slammed into the chest and tightly embraced by my best friend Rebecca.
"Oh my god, Rebecca I love it" I hugged her back equally as tight. We pulled apart from our bone breaking hug which gave me the chance to put my stuff into my locker and get ready for first period. As Rebecca and I headed to class we had a long a waited chat.
"So Memphis what are you going to do tonight for your birthday?" Rebecca asked curiosity gleaming in her eyes. In turn I rolled my eyes and answered her question.
"I think im going to spend my birthday with my mom" I said with a small smile. It's been a long time since me and my mom had a night out together. The last time I can recall is when I was four and we hung out at the mall. These times had come to a halt when my dad had died from a server car accident. That's all I really know about that event that my mother had informed me with. I was pulled from my thoughts by Rebecca's voice.
"What!? Why would you want to waste your perfectly good birthday with that useless woman you think is a mom?" Hearing Rebecca's words hurt me more than I thought it would. Like yeah I know that she's never really there for me anymore recently with her dating and all, but she's still my mother. I could tell that Rebecca could see the hurt on my face.
"I- I didn't mean it like that I'm sorry"

"No it's okay. I understand where you're coming from. If my best friend told me that they were spending their special day with a woman who neglected them the way my mom neglected me I'd say the same thing." I said with a soft smile. Rebecca returned a small sad smile.
"Don't give me that face" I said with a goofy smile. I purposely bumped shoulders with Rebecca making her stumble into someone else next to her.
"Memphis?" She said with a shocked look.
"What?" I said looking at her innocently. She looked at me with a mischievous smile and gave me a big shove with her shoulder. I was hit so hard I almost fell. But thanks to my savior I was ok.
"God bless man kind for creating walls" I said. We both bursted out laughing. Once we made it to my class we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways.

(AT HOME)

I returned home from school feeling good. I was going to head upstairs to my room when I spotted another note attached to the fridge. It was from my mom. Instantly a sinking feeling formed in my stomach and I could feel my eyes begin to water.

Dear Memphis,
I'm sorry to ruin your day but I'll be spending tonight with Robert.

Again with that name that always hurts me. I'm starting to wonder if Roberts more important than my mom's one and only child. Does she even deserve that title of the given name to any woman with a child 'mom'. I'm starting to think otherwise. I continued to read the note.

Robert shares the same birthday as you so I thought that, since I spend every year with you, you wouldn't mind spending one without me.
Love you lots,
Mom.

Love you lots? LOVE YOU LOTS! 
If she loved me alot she'd be here. I ripped the note angrily off the fidge. Then I proceeded to shred it to pieces. I stomped up the stairs to my room and laid down on my bed and let the tears run free. I was really hoping that I'll have the chance to hang out with my mom just once again after so long. But alas I am now certain that I have been replaced by Robert.

After some time of crying like a baby I decided to go for a walk to calm myself down.

I've been walking for a while now and it's 6:00 and starting to get dark as I approached a forest. Standing here looking at it, I remember this forest being the one from that video Rebecca showed me. With some hesitation I decided to explore the forest. I've gone pretty far into this forest when I hear a noise behind me. I turn around and, I shit you not, it was the dragon from the video who killed the innocent-ish man. I slowly take some steps back only to have this terrifying dragon roar loudly in my face. That's when I turn around and bolt. I could hear the dragons heavy feet behind me. I try to take out my phone to call someone, anyone, but I stumbled and dropped it. I tried to turn around and grab it but the sight of the huge dragon charging towards me, made me forget about my phone and keep running. As I'm running I spot an opening in the center of the forest. A light that looks as like it has come from heaven shines down upon two large mirrors resting against two separate trees. One was a red mirror with black embellishments around it while the other looking the same was a clear mirror with gold embellishments. As I was wondering why in the world there would be two beautiful mirrors stranded in the midfle of the forest I was pulled from my thoughts when I could feel the dragon behind me roar and start to run faster towards me. I was already running at my fastest and I could feel my body slowing down and that's when I thought this was the end for me. Then suddenly there was this tingle of energy that boosted my speed and focused my mind on the gold embellished mirror. I could feel the wind of the dragons claw nearly getting my back as I entered the gold mirror and was swallowed by darkness.
