Doragon akuma no dansu: Dance of the Dragon Demon

Chapter 6: awaking the Demon

kiaros had filled me in with all the details about what had happened with the demon that had latched it's self on to me and from that day forward he'd been a little kinder, but he was still as arrogant and cold and secretive as ever. i guess you could say it was like we were dating. and every day i could feel a small smile grow on my face as i woke in my bed, knowing i had achieved one thing i had wanted so much. the problem was, now that it'd been several months, things seemed a little rocky. Finding Kiaros's journal wasn't that hard, his hiding places didn't make it seem as though he was trying very hard to hide it at all. I'd never thought about reading his journal till now and i felt bad for doing so, but at least it'd put my mind at a bit of ease.

He'd left to go hunting 20 minutes ago, kissing my nose softly and squeezing me before slinging his hunting gear over his shoulder reminding me he'd be back very soon with food. I just groaned a little and nodded pretending to be half-asleep.

I'd been plotting this for a week. I'd listened to his footsteps fade away before waiting several minutes and slid out from under the sheets. I probably shouldn't of done this but i needed the reassurance that everything was okay.

I wasn't always like this. Before kiaros, I would've been horrified if you'd told me I was going to become that girlfriend, the crazy one who insists on checking her boyfriend's where bouts , his texts ( if kiaros had a phone ) before he can even open them. The one who'd call his friends to crosscheck his alibis.Yeah, I'd never be that girl. But out here in this world it was different. I couldn't go out on my own, it was too dangerous and I didn't know anyone here, no one that kiaros knew.

The only way I could check was to read his journal.

I shivered at the disgusting thoughts that ran through my mind after reading this. Was this one of his dreams?

I turned the page and began to read another entry.

" These can't be memories! " I kept repeating to myself. I didn't want to believe in anything so horrible sounding . It couldn't of happened to him, the detailed descriptions.. They seemed too reminiscent, too horrifying, too real to be dreams. I didn't understand what or who he was referring to, but I wanted to carry on reading them. I wanted to know who he really was. I quickly hid his journal back in to it's hiding place and poured myself a cup of coffee. We'd finally gotten out of that cave and built our own little cabin out of logs. It wasn't perfect but it was cosy and I liked it like that. I took my first sip of hot coffee burning my lips . I wasn't even aware that i'd even burnt then because couldn't stop thinking about what I'd read, but one things for sure , i knew He would probably be back very soon.

I waited for what seemed forever before I decided I needed to go look for kiaros. I was afraid to go out on my own, knowing I was vulnerable to these demons and numerous other monsters, kiaros was important to me and I was worried he was hurt.

I headed out to look for him, defenceless, yet I needed him with me. I couldn't bare to be alone in this world.

Too much bad stuff had happened already, I felt like a helpless child, yet a wanted thieve too.

I walked for miles in the woods, my legs ached and my feet hurt and blistered. I sat down under an apple tree. I needed to rest for 5 minuets. Leaves fell Fluttered down from the tree, one landing on my head. The floor began to shake like an earth quake and then an almighty roar descended from the canopy above and a whirling flame of fire followed behind it and it was coming towards me. I panicked and ducked to the ground wIth a face full of soft dewy grass. A silvery and lilac dragon Plummeted for me. It looked agitated and swooped for me, knocking over several trees with his enormous scaly tail. The fire burned and licked at everything, making this once beautiful part of the woods die. The trees burned so fast and turned to ashes in front of me quicker than I could even blink. Its scales glistened in the sunlight and the magnificent orange swirling flames and for a moment it was a beautiful sight. Then I came to realise that I was in trouble. I tried to move my feet to get up but one had some how gotten stuck under a tree root. I couldn't pull it loose. Great .. The dragon Now had an easier advantage. If I was going to die, at least it'd be because I cared about kiaros, I cared about his whereabouts. ' j-just get it over with!" I screamed at the oncoming dragon. I closed my eyes and waited. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad, quick and peaceful. But the thought of leaving him behind made me tear up. I need him , I just need him with me. The thought of being alone made me sad. I knew it wouldn't be long now, the dragon was nearer. His roar was worse as he approached and the floor shook rapidly like an earthquake. I waited till but nothing happened. Opening my frightened eyes, I realised that my hand was raised toward Where the dragon should be. A red flame pushed the dragon away, paralysing it to the floor. It screeched out in pain and the screeching didn't stop, it changed and started to sound human. And the silhouette of the dragon deformed, it's wings eroded in to nothing and it's tail. It's snout became smaller and I could see it shaping in to a human form., I'd say it was strange. But just being in this world was strange anyway. And then I saw his silvery hair blow in the soft caress of the wind. The setting sun made it shine and as he slowly walked to me, his eyes glistened and he bit his lip. He cut the tree root off with the thickest blade id ever seen. It must be very heavy. I could move now and got up off the floor. I had so many questions, and I was afraid that if I say anything now, they'd all come flooding out. Kiaros was in front of me now and unclothed. I opened my mouth to say something but he put his finger on my lips. Then he pulled me in to his arms and crushed me with the strongest hug.

" your squashing me..."

I let him hold me for a moment before struggling and pushing him away. I grabbed a huge green leaf the size of a bath towel and Shoved it quickly around his body.. Not that I was embarrassed or anything.. Okay I'll admit, I'd never dreamed i would ever see his god-like body. Those toned six packs and those defined arms.. Argh it was driving me crazy. I'd felt weird hugging him so the next best thing was to cover him up.

" eyy, whatchu doing that for, this things got stinging stuff on it! " His eyes almost bulged out of there sockets as he yelled furiously. Opps. Well I sure hope there's a lake near by.
