What are you?

Chapter 15: the others and their progress

Leo picked D up off of the ground and set her on the bed. They both lay in their under garments. Leo felt D shake like a leaf. He held D close to him.

"I didn't think it would be this bad.. I'm so sorry.." Leo began to apologize. D put her index finger over his mouth and smiled softly.

"Don't be sorry. I had fun." D said kissing Leo's nose gently.

"You're shaking so badly.." Leo said nervously.

"That happens when it's good. That wasn't just good though. It was something of a new breed." D complimented.

"I just.. I can't help but think I'm rushing you.." Leo began.

"Even if you were- which you aren't.. it's fine. You're super hot anyway so what does it matter?" D asked.

"I care about how you feel. I care about you in general.. I really like you. I think you're awesome." Leo said smiling.

D grinned and cuddled up to Leo in a way that resembled a kitten. She immediately found herself wrapped in Leo's arms.

"Goodnight darling.." d spoke softly.

"Goodnight baby.." Leo said stroking her hair. He watched d as she pulled a blanket from the fold in the nest and throw it over the two.

—3 days later—

Leo woke up to a still sleeping D. He smiled and examined her face. She was now back to as normal as she could be. Porcelain pale skin, baggy eyes, and her hair was back to its chestnut hue. He smiled and tenderly kissed D's forehead. Her eyes fluttered open to see Leo kissing her. She smiled and stretched.

"Good morning.." she said with a big smile.

"Good morning my dragon princess." Leo said smiling.

D smirked and blushed. She suddenly sat up, listening closely. Leo listened as well. They looked at each other realizing the others were just above them. They quickly put on their clothes and splashed some water from the stream on them. They were at the bottom of the stairs, starting to panic.

"You guys! You're ok! We went back to the house and couldn't find you! We were so worried!" Adam cried.

The three rushed to Leo and D, embracing them and cheering.

"They tried to smoke us out.. so we came here. There's no way they could find us here.." d began.

"This place is beautiful.." Daniel began.

"This place is my home away from home.. it has everything I need with the exception of food.. but I can't stay here much longer.. it brings me back to things I don't want to remember.." d said softly.

"Ok, well we have the new place set up and took everything from the old place and decorated the place nicely." Ace began.

"Everything?" D asked nervously.

"Don't worry. I made sure everything of yours made it to your room." Ace said politely.

D smiled.

"Do you guys think we could keep a rift location here? If it's not too much to ask?" D asked.

"Yeah, we can do that. We know now what it is and what it means.." Adam said smiling.

"Let's show them the new place.. Adam if you wouldn't mind opening the rift again please.." Daniel said smiling.

The rift opened and they all stepped through, setting foot into the newer version of their home. The floor plan was the same with the exception of a taproom, a bedroom for Leo, and a game room. The interior was nicely decorated, colors matching and the rooms feeling like home. The shag carpet was a grayish color, yet very soft to the touch.
