Chapter 7: Surprising Relations.

Lena and who I assumed to be Conner the guy she is crushing badly over left headed for the plane with strict instructions to have it fuelled and ready to leave the minute we get there.

I followed Logan and Kyle into the mansion like palace sticking as close as I could which landed with me trapped between the two looking shorter then one of those goblins or Dwarfs. The atmosphere in here was completely different to out there, in here it seemed much more tense, there were tables everywhere with people gathered around them with arrange of coins and discoloured drinks everywhere. All eyes were on Logan and Kyle as they walked by, I started to drop off getting caught up in my surroundings.

I spotted this guy in the corner wearing a hood that covered his face, he looked completely human to me as he twirled a coin in between his fingers. There was something strange about him that had me wanting to know more, it was hard to explain but I felt like I couldn’t take my eyes off him.

That is until a scaly winged lizard creature flew past catching my attention, it’s razor sharp teeth had me fearing it instantaneously. It landed on the ground right in front of me making me stop and stumble backwards as it changed taking the appearance of a beautiful woman with red hair and colourful wings. The only evidence of what she once was only a moment ago was her razor sharp teeth that appeared when she smiled at me.

“Well what do we have here?” she all but sung, her voice like a melody.

I stayed still not moving as she came closer – a little too close for comfort – and sniffed the air.

“Ah a human, so tasty” Taste? what?! Shit where’s Logan and Kyle when you need them.

She came closer and grabbed a hold of my hand making me scream out. Why was no one helping me?!

I looked into her face watching it change again; her eyes went from green eyes you would consider normal to empty eye sockets making me scream again only louder this time.

“Logan!” I screamed as she went to bite into my arm.

She froze midway down to my arm, her grip loosened as she fell to the floor with a dagger in her back. I looked up to see Logan’s black eyes staring at me.

“You ok?” he said out of breath, what took him so long?

I nodded still a little shaken.

“Good” he came to me grabbing my hand tightly and pulling me to his chest and into his arms. In any other circumstances I would have protested to being in his arms but right now I welcomed the feeling of safety and warmth.

“Anyone else?!” He yelled out to the rest of the room.

Everyone stared at him their heads slightly bowed as they watched him carefully but no one dared to speak up against him.

“I thought I told you to stay close” He muttered before he pulled me off in the direction he had come from. Pulling me through the double doors, he slam them shut behind us and let me go.

I stumbled a little trying to gather my thoughts. Kyle came up beside me grabbing my elbow to steady me.

“Britney are you ok?”

“Yeah I think so just a little shocked”

“Marco I swear when I get my hands on you I’m going to tear you apart!” Logan shouted out to the empty room, making his voice echo like a tunnel.

“Logan calm down, she’s fine” Kyle said brushing the hair away from my face and smiling down at me trying to comfort me.

“Yes Logan do calm down, I don’t want to cause a scene, though you’ve already done that by killing one of my dear friends in the middle of the entertaining room.” A voice came from the shadows making us all turn to watch as a man walked out. His dark black hair and black eyes made me look between him and Logan. They looked similar; I wonder if they were related or was it all Volucris that looked like that?
