Chapter 45

I can't watch!!!! To the death? are they crazy! their brothers!! I'm helpless standing in the bleachers, screaming for them to stop. They answer my pleading calls with dangerous clashes of light sabers and burning slashes to their skin. This is crazy! What ever happened to finding the fellow city people and helping them through the deadly war? The heroic adventure has turned into a mere act of selfish boys play over the heart of me! me! I don't deserve this. They should know my heart goes to Zayne and Zayne only!

I watch in horror as Zaine sneaks up on Zayne and spikes him with a flick of his pet dragons, club shaped tail. Zayne and his dragon waver and I notice blood spilling down his face from his nose! I scream louder.

"Stop! Please!" I cry, waving my arms in protest as they beat each other selfless on the backs of their tired looking steeds.

Zaine looks in my direction, which turned out to be a better chance for Zayne to strike!

"No!!!" I yell as Zaines dragon plummets down, down. I breath a sigh of relief as Zaine manages to regain composure and pull him and his dragon back up. The two brothers continue to fight against my pleads to stop.

This has to stop! I glance around the arena in search of something that might help them come to their senses.....Aha! I make my way through the bleachers and stand in front of the odd talking bubble referee with the hilariously obnoxious pink mustache.

"I want a dragon and a light saber now. let me out there" I say sternly. The referee doesn't speak but leads me down a stone flight of steps to a cave at the bottom of the arena. The bubble lets me inside and I become face to face with a beautiful green dragon, it's eyes glimmering down at me kindly. the bubble lifts me up onto the back of the dragon with surprising power and I am handed a green, glowing light saber.

"Okay, " the bubble speaks suddenly, "Two words of advice....don't insult the dragon on it's flying techniques and don't fall....have fun!"

I can't say anything else to the strange bubble before my dragon shoots out of the cave and up into the arena, the wind whips in my face and I stare at the boys in angry determination. I lead my dragon in a certain direction and place myself between the opposing brothers.

"Stop this!" I cry, feeling confidence rise in my voice like I've never felt before.

"July!" They both exclaimed at the same time, shocked looks on their bruised and bloody faces.

"Please.....You don't need to fight over me," I say softly, nervously stroking the strong scales on my dragons back.

"then tell us, July....Who does your heart catch....please," Zaine asks sternly, his eyes sending daggers towards his twin brother.

I sigh,"I like you both very much....But, " The words catch in my throat and I know what I have to do"Zayne..... When you kissed me in the kitchen at your fathers castle...I knew I loved you even though we had just met. I'm sorry, Zaine, I barely know you! But you are a great friend. Now please, both of you come help me look for my friends. " I take a deep breath and wait.

"Okay...I understand, " Zaine sighs "I'm sorry but I can't come with you. Good bye July. Good luck brother."

"Wait!" I cry, but it does not matter...because Zaine has already flown off with his dragon and I get the sinking feeling I will never see him again..but I made the right choice. I turn to Zayne and sigh "Lets go look for my friends "

Zayne nods in understanding and respect and we take our dragons and fly in the opposite direction of Zaine. I'm coming Alice and Sky. I'm coming.
