Dragonkiin

Chapter 22

I woke up to soft daylight. I closed my eyes right away and slowly opened them, seeing more clearly now. A muscular body stood above me, and a wolf necklace dangled in to my face. Lancer leaned over and took off his shirt. "WHAT!" I yelled kicking his stomach. My heart pounded quickly as I accepted my surroundings. I sat up and minded the pain that jolted in to my leg. It seems like it was doing better now. I was on a bed and it looked like the walls of the small room was about to collapse any minute. I looked down and noticed my clothes were changed in to beige cargo pants and a white tank top. "What did you do to me!" I growled at Lancer who was bent over in pain from the kick.

He grabbed my loose hair and tugged on it roughly. "I'm gonna kill you," He whispered.

"I'm surprised how you two can fight no matter where or what the situation is," Vinny chuckled from behind Lancer. She sat on a rusty chair, sipping on a drink. "Don't worry, I changed your clothes, and cleaned the filth off you, nothing happened. Lancer go take a bath already!" Vinny scolded.

"I was going to, but someone had to kick me! It seems like her leg is doing just fine!" He complained.

"It's not my fault you were staring at me like a creep half naked while I was sleeping!" I yelled. I ran a hand through my loose and wet hair. It felt good to be rid of the filth and blood on me.I let out a deep sigh. "Anyway, where are we?" I asked.

"The next island. Fire Land," Vinny replied, sipping her coffee, with a grim look on her face.

"What's wrong? Why did the mood suddenly change?" I asked.

"Go ahead. Take a look outside," Lancer spoke. I limped out of bed and peeked out side the door. I stumbled back.

"What the hell is this?" I asked, as my throat cracked. I pressed my arm to my nose, unable to bear the stench. I've never seen anything so terrible! Everything was in ruins. Houses were heaps of straw and wood on the floor. Dead bodies and blood tainted the floors and nothing living was present. I jumped as something soft rubbed against my legs.

I bent down and scratched Kira's ear. "Are you okay little one?" I asked She had been a great help, even thought I sort of felt guilty that I had remembered her when I needed her. She let out a deep, but sweet, purr and rolled to her side. I scooped her up in my arms and stood up. "I'm going to take a look, anyone want to come?" I asked, curious about where we are. Vinny shook her head almost as soon as I finished speaking.

"You're crazy if you plan on going out there alone," Vinny muttered. I shrugged. Lancer threw my sword at me, I barley caught it.

"I need to go take a shower, but at least consider a weapon if you'll go out alone. Smart one." He sarcasticalyy told me.

"You know, it would've been much friendlier if you hadn't added the last sentence, but I'll pretend that I had never heard it. Since I'm a good girl," I replied. He snickered as I strapped the sword on me and opened the door.

"Good luck!" Vinny yelled before I left. Honestly, she was such a wimp. I shielded the smell with my arm. It smelled like the remains of onion peels and raw chicken. When I was little that was all that I could find in the trash, trust me that smell made me barf a thousand times. I'll never forget that torture.

Everywhere I looked the scenery was gruesome. It was as if a bunch of rocks fell from the sky randomly and squished people until pools of blood littered the floor. No matter what the people had done, this fate was terrible. No one deserved it.

I felt my self squish something that felt like grapes wrapped in soft cotton. I did a big mistake to look down. A lifeless head looked back at me. I couldn't stand it. I threw up on the dead corps. I'm pretty sure a stray head didn't want bits of food that I last ate all over them, but I couldn't hold it in. Even Kira was disgusted to walk on the floor and instead, decided to nest on my shoulder.
