Dragon Heart

Liam's PoV

I flew high in the sky in full dragon form as I circled my house a few time. The view was amazing, I stopped and hovered there for a minute. With my massive wings beating the air I stared out too sea. There was even a difference in the seas behaviour depending on what side of the island you're on.

The coast of my side was always calm, welcoming and a sparkling blue but the Malik side was so different the water was a dark grey colour, violent and dangerous. It was like someone had taken a a pen and drawn a line through the water and land.

hovering there I was just staring out to the horizon wondering, what is it like out there? I know there is a large world out there but why can't I explore it? I know why, I'm a dragon and dragons have been hunted for centuries but there is very few people that even know about dragons these days, so why not?

I let out a heavy sigh, knowing my father would never allow me to explore. I flew down into the halls of my home. Stopping in mid and in a swirl on glittering white smoke I changed back to a human and gently hit the ground landing on my feet.

"Mum, dad" I yelled as I entered the large living room looking for my parents. They soon appeared from the kitchen.

"Ah Liam, there you are" my dads said looking kind of angry "we need to talk to you" he gestured towards the couch and I sat down wondering what I've done to get him this mad.

"What's wrong?" I asked confusion flooded my mind even more as my father glared at me with a stern expression.

"What happened I'm the woods yesterday" I suddenly felt a large knot form in my stomach and my palms got sweaty.

"Wh-what do you mean?" I unsuccessfully lied. I was never a good liar and my parents knew that.

"There was a trail of destruction leading from the border half why into the Forrest" his steely eyes examined every inch of me, I felt like I was under an X-ray "and don't you dare lie to me Liam, you were seen leaving the area" I looked between him and my mum nervously. What was I going to say? Have I broken rules by helping Zayn?

"Okay" I sighed realising there's no point in trying to lie again it will only make them angrier "a dark dragon crash on our side last night" I heard a gasp from my mum and my dads breathing got heavier with rage.

"But it's okay-" I tried to explain but was interrupted by the peace shattering voice of my father.

"Okay?!" My dad yelled scaring me a bit, it was never nice seeing him like this. He'd never actually hurt me but the power radiating from him was still intimidating "you could have been hurt by those savages!" He punched the wall above the fire place causing a large crack to appear "I'll kill them all" he roared and stormed towards the door.

"Dad no!" I quickly hopped to my feet and got in front of him before he could leave.

"Out of my way Liam" he demanded but I stayed put. As scared as I was I couldn't let a war start again just because of me.

"Dad, everything's fine" his chest heaved in anger as he glared at me "he crashed by accident, I helped him back to the border and he left" his faced brightened, I've never seen him this angry before, I'm either dead or grounded forever.

"It doesn't matter they crossed to our side and put you in danger, they must pay" he tried to barge past me but I stayed firm and with a huge amount of effort pushed him back a few paces.

"Dad, i'm fine" I say as I looked at him with pleading eyes "no damage was done" I paused "well except for the tree, is a broken tree really reason enough to start a war" the rage appeared to leave his eyes and realisation set in. My dad was a great leader but he has never really forgiven the dark dragons for things that happened during the wars and was always quick to battle. Fortunately mum was always able to talk him down and keep the peace.

"You're right" his breath evened out but his face stayed stern "I don't want you anywhere near the border or the forest, now go to your room" with that he turned and walked away. My mum gave me a sympathetic smile and nodded her head to the door.

Not wanting to anger him further I did as I was told and went to my room. Quietly closing my door I rested My forehead against it and took a large breath. I got changed into sweats before I dropped on the bed on and let out another huge sigh, I was now banned from going to one of my favourite spots on the entire island but, if you were to look on the bright side I stopped a war. That's worth something, right?

I closed my eyes and sleep started to take me. Flashes of the woods crossed my mind, Zayn was standing one our side of the island with my father in full dragon form standing behind him. I tried to run towards my father but no matter how fast I run, the tree blurs and the whipped past me I do not get any closer. Then there was a flash of silver and scarlet and both Zayn and my father fall to the ground. The once beautiful Payne side of the island erupts in flames and everything goes black. But then I hear it someone whispering my name, someone out there in the darkness 'Liam'. My eyes slowly open and my room comes into view. I shake of the remnants of the dream and look around. There is nothing out of place and no one to be seen. I shrugged it off as just part of the dream and turn over on to my side.

'Liam'

I heard again and shot up, my eyes darted to every corner of the room but I seen nothing.

'Liam'

"Who's there?" I yelled and jumped to my feet, ready to change to dragon and fight the intruder. Even as I change to my dragon eyes to get a better scan of the room I still seen no one. The voice did sound oddly familiar though.

'Liam, its Zayn'

I spun around too the window that had been left opened and looked out it for any sign of Zayn, but nothing. okay I'm going crazy and hearing voices but why was it his of all peoples.

'Liam you're not going crazy'

"Okay, what's going on?" I said in a panic as I still stare about my room.

'Just come to our spot and I'll explain'

I had not clue what he meant but our spot but I could only guess it was we're we met for the first time last night. I took a deep breath, do I really want to go and risk my father finding out and causing a war. Surely if I stay on my side and Zayn on his the everything should be fine, right. With one final sigh and against all my better judgement leapt out the opened window.

I hope this isn't going to be a mistake.
