My Ex-Best Friend is a Dragon

Chapter 9

Rosalie:

I cannot believe him he thinks he can control me and tell me what to do. Well he's got another thing coming. No Rosie you said what you needed to say and yet, why does it feel like I lost. All I wanted was relax and see my old Will again. I break down and start crying because my heart my head have been broken. All the memories are pointless because Will doesn't love me nor did he care for me. I hear my friends calling my name but I ignore them and just stay in my room. I put on some sad music and listen to every word drop into my ear. I came to Russia because I wanted to learn and understand my culture and my family tree. My friend and cousin decided to take a small trip into the city and would be gone at least two weeks. I on the other hand, decided to stay behind because I hardly get to see my grandparents so I spent my time with them.

I wore something casual today since the last two days I was mopping around about Will. While my grandfather was out getting fresh groceries for dinner I was with nana. "Nana I was wondering if you could tell me the story about the dragon and the princess?" I asked. "O my some things never change with you Rosalie." "But I would be happy to tell you th story about the dragon and the princess."

"It all started a long time ago where a young girl named Anya." "Now, she was very beautiful like a star shining bright in the night sky." "She was kind and would do anything for her people." "One day she decided to into the forest where she found "him" the dragon injury and very angry." "Though she was startled at first but took a leap of faith and help him." "The villagers had rumored that there lived a beast that took only women and killed them." "Of course Anya didn't believe them until she actually saw the beast." "As she removed the enormous trap to set him free the dragon transformed into a young man."

Storyline...

"My name is princess Anya; what is your name?" Anya asked with a smile. "My name is Alek." Said Alek. "Well Alek it's nice to meet you; I've met someone who was special before?" Anya said. "Why are you not afraid?" Asked Alek. "I apologize I was at first but looks can be deceiving." "I mean I know I could've died but I took a leap of faith." "I'm not afraid nor a rude person." "However, I do have a question about how you are able to become a dragon." Anya explained. "It's a family curse that has been going on since the 1100s my family has been cursed to be a dragon or a werewolf?" Alek answered. "Interesting so what are doing here?" Anya Asked. "I just wanted to get a away from my family I want to be normal not some cold monster." Replied Alek. "But your not a monster Alek if anything your different and sometimes different is better than normal." "Trust me I want to do something with life and explore and see new things." "Not run a kingdom one day and just stay here." " you have wings to get away and just find peace than noise." "I may not know you enough but your free in a way." "I'm bound here and don't get me wrong I'm blessed with my life while others don't have the same." "But I try my best to help as many people as I can but it's never enough." Anya explained as she walked towards the pond.

"Somehow I doubt that Anya." "At least your not cursed; my family has been through hell literally." "All because of jealously, cheating, and god knows what else." "Just because I have wings doesn't mean I actually run away." "Unfortunately, it's part of who I am and I have to accept that." "But you are more free than you think Anya." Said Alek. Anya just smiled and said "No not really because in 4 months I am suppose to be married."

Back Rosalie grandmother telling the story...

"Alek was willing to help princess Anya escape from the palace life." "So they devised plan to make it look like the Anya had been killed." "As the days went by the two started to grow feelings for each other. They were love, some say she was his soulmate." "She was his light into the darkness but unfortunately dark forces began to unravel which led to them running away. But came across a waterfall where it was 16ft high and saw a cave."

"Alek and Anya were surrounded and were forced to go back to their duties." "And if they refused their families would wage on each other." "There was no happy ending for either one of them." "Heartbroken and sad they had requested a painter to to paint to remember each other by." "So that they would never forget each or their love." "Here Rosalie this is one of the paintings I got from the museum."
Said Nana.

"Wow nana this is really beautiful." "But I don't remember you showing me this painting before." I said. My grandmother laughed and said "dear let's just say the time is now that your ready to see it." Replied Nana. "But Nana-" I was cut off when she said "now Rosalie don't go over analyzing it like your father." "In fact, princess Anya kinda looks like you don't you think?" Asked Nana. I nodded my head and kept looking at the painting. My nana went to start cooking. I went to my room and started thinking about the story because now that I think about it each story was different but also the same. Maybe if I go to the museum I can find more answers on the folk tale of the story.
