dragon fire

chapter 28

Here's a new chapter. As always thanks for reading. love you all.

An alarm going off somewhere near me, forces me to open my eyes, it's not an alarm at all its Lilith meowing at me, directly in my ear. Why would she do that?

At this moment, my other half wants to eat her, but I won't let her. Sitting up the apartment is quiet, it's too quiet. Standing my floor is cold against my bare feet. Quinn is nowhere to be seen, he left my apartment at some point; looking around he never even left a note saying good bye or anything.

But there is something open on my table, stepping up to it, it's my sketch book. It's open to a sketch of my mother and sister in dragon form. How had he even found it? I don't even know where I left it. "You're awake."

Standing in my doorway holding a mug, is Quinn. "I thought you left." "I just went down to talk to Mia. After I came up last night, I just wanted to let her know that everything was fine up here." "Thank you. I hope I didn't worry her." "Not at all. She just happy you're alright. How long have you been up?" Shrugging. "Not long. Where did you find this?" I asked motioning at my sketch book. "It was on the Coffey table. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snoop. I was just curious." "It's fine. Just ask next time."

He nodded, and went into my kitchen. It's almost seven. "Do you want something to eat?" I asked moving past him. "Thanks, but I should go. I need to change before we go into the shop." I nodded. "Right. I'll meet there." Setting his mug in the sink, he turned to me. "Can I ask, that one drawing, is that your mother and sister?" I nodded. "Yeah I drew it from memory; I love them, and miss them." "I know how you feel, I miss my parents as well." We stood in silence for a while, until he broke the silence.

"I really should get going. I'll see you in a while, and thanks again for letting me sleep on your couch last night." "Sure. Anytime; you're welcome here, I hope you know that." He nodded.

I walked him to the door, waiting until he's down some of the stairs, before I closed the door. Jumping into the shower I can't help but think about what happened last night, Quinn the "Dragon hunter" kissed me! And he said nothing about it this morning.

Was he thinking about it as well? I don't know how I think about it, but I do know one thing, my other half didn't like it very much, I had no idea he was going to do that, and neither did she for that matter.

Stepping out of the shower Lilith is sitting on the counter staring at me, like she knows what I'm thinking. "Don't look at me like that. I did nothing wrong here." In response she blinked and followed at my heels as I went to get dressed; I can't be late for work, even though I'm pretty sure I will be; I just hope Lisa isn't going all crazy like she has been the past couple days.

The ways she's been baking nonstop. Every morning she's there before we are, if she keeps going like this for much longer, she will pass out like she did before.

"You don't have to worry about her. She's a simple human, but you are so much more than that. We will take care of her. Nothing will happen to her. If something does, then we will help her through it, like we did before."

"I know we will. But I can't help but wonder if something more serious is wrong with her."

"Don't worry. You and Quinn will both handle whatever comes up. Speaking of Quinn, what he did last night just shows how much he likes you."

"You really think he likes me? Then that is a big problem then. We'll have to do something about that then won't we."

"Why would we do that? He like us, for what we are. But we can, not tell Cormac that Quinn knows about us. If he does find out, we don't know what he will do."
