The Dragon's Heart

Chapter 3

     "HEY?! Where are you taking me?!" Soph screamed at Anthony. She tried to struggle and get away, but to no avail. Anthony's grip was tight enough to hold her but not enough to cause any harm. He brought her to the bench he was sitting at before he ran off to stop the party. H let her go and then sat down on the bench quietly. "Look. I don't know who you are. I don't know if this is for bumping into you or something but why did-" Anthony cuts her off.
     "Why were you at a place like that?" He says calmly. Soph looks at him confused.
     "Because my friend told me ab-" Anthony sighs.
     "No. Why were YOU there? Wanted to prove something? Wanted to find something? Wanted to be something?" Anthony looks over his shoulder at Soph. His blue eyes starring deep into her's. Soph can't find the words, and tries to scrounge together a sentence in her head, but nothing comes out. "Sit with me. Please?" Soph, unsure, hesitantly walked around the bench, then sat down next to him. "A person like you shouldn't be at places like that. You're too kind hearted for all of that." Soph blushes and looks down.
     "You don't even know me. How can you possibly know I'm too nice for that? I could be a tee total bitch and you have no clue." Anthony simply stares off at the moon.
     "I know because of your aura." Soph giggles.
     "Okay... are you a hippy or something?" She tries to hold in her laughter but it suddenly turns to surprise when Anthony looks at her again. His pupils, human at first, had become a reptilian look. She stared at them. Mesmerized by how they looked. "You... don't look like you wear contacts... and... they weren't like that before..."
     "I know," Anthony replies. "They were hidden before. But like this I can see your aura. You... you have the brightest of any human." Soph blushes then looks at him confused.
     "Of any... human? What? Are you like, an alien or something?" Anthony shakes his head. "Then what are-" She suddenly feels something against her lips. Her face brightens in pink color and before she realizes it, her eyes are closed.
     Her eyes open to an alarm blaring loudly next to her. She sits up, then turns it off. She looks around confused.
     "Was it... a dream?" She touches her lips gently. "If it was..." She suddenly jumps when the phone rings. "Ugh." She picks it up and then feels her ear ring as the voice on the other end yells.
     "SOPH! WHERE DID YOU GO LAST NIGHT?! WHO WAS THAT GUY?! OH MY GOD ARE YOU OKAY?!" Soph touches her lips again and sits there thinking for a minute. "SOPH ARE YOU THERE?!"
     "O-oh, yeah. I'm fine. Hey, can I call you back? I have a really busy day today."
     "YOU BETTER NOT HAN UP ON-" Soph hangs up and puts the phone down after turning it off.
     "It wasn't...." She turns and stares out the window. "Who was he?....." She Bites her lip slightly as she thinks. "What.... was he?..."
