The Changed

Chapter 20

     I smelled food the next time I awoke as I looked around seeing a bowl of food and water as I stretched my neck out a little bit hissing in pain before drinking some water and eating some food as I felt the familiar sense of droopiness as I closed my eyes falling back to sleep. 

   I opened my eyes as Dereck looked at me holding a needle up as I hissed before trying to lash out with my tail only to stop with a wince as he spoke," I think I should tell you your injuries now. Bones from your second vertebrate shattered. Muscles shredded all along your body. Deep lacerations in your organs." I hissed,' Great I hate being still.' Shawn and his other partners came in as they smiled as I growled as they brought tasty looking meat and fruit." My mouth watered as I licked my maw as I wiggled my tail as Dereck chuckled while looking back and forwards connecting the dots as he grabbed a piece of meat waving at my nose as I glared at him as a slight wind picked up as he sighed," Fine here." He gave me a piece of meat as I chewed on it with a content look on my face as I finally decided to swallow it as I slurped it down as they all laughed as I licked my maw as I looked at the water bowl as I took a sip falling asleep giving into the inevitable. 

  I felt a hand on my snout as I pretended to open my mouth up in my sleep as I felt him poking around in my mouth I clamped down hard as I realized it was Shawn as he yelped and cursed," Dang it let go of me." I glared at him as I opened my eyes as I clenched harder as the door was knocked on as Dereck laughed opening it as an elder came in and took in the scene of me clamping onto Shawns hand as Shawn tried to pry me off as I started to put more force as he yelped as the elder chuckled," I assume you wanted to pet him while he was asleep." Shawn whimpered a sound that was coming out of a very skilled fighter and warrior. I finally let go of his hand as he jumped back as I glared at him before listening into the conversation. The elder spoke," I think we found a way to speed up his healing process." I perked up with a hiss as they all chuckled as the elder brought something out as Dereck looked at him," Is that what I think it is." The elder tossed it to Dereck," I assume you already know how to use it." Dereck nodded as Shawn spoke," What about me do I get speed healed?" I glared at him as smoke seeped from my mouth preparing to use my hell fire. He yelped," Okay fine you win." I hissed as Dereck waved it over me as I hissed in amazement when I felt my Muscles, Organs, and my bones healed." Using my hellfire I burned all the bandages as I jumped up as I flew over Shawn landing on his head as I glared at him and began to burn him slightly as he yelped as I hissed jumping off of him as I flew back to my spot as I curled up and continued to watch as they all chuckled as Dereck spoke," Can we discuss the marking on both sides of his neck Elder sir?" He nodded," Of course. I have been studying it for the past few months and came to the conclusion of it being the Nightmare curse."
