The Last Of the Dragon Witches (Prinxiety)

19

It was the middle of the night when Roman finally gathered enough courage to get up and talk to Virgil.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down ulteriorly, he relaxed his shoulders, rolling them back a few times, before starting to slowly make his way towards the camp site where everyone was sleeping.

He stopped near the campfire for a second, making sure the others were actually asleep before tip-toeing towards Virgil's curled up figure; the guy had his back to the royal, preventing him to see his sleeping face as he silently inched forward, failing to notice that the dragon sleeping behind him was carefully watching his every move with her slightly cracked open eyes.

Roman stopped right behind the man, taking one last deep breath as he looked over him; the dragon-witch looked so small in comparison to the big creature pressing up against  him with her body protectively wrapped around him.

The prince closed his eyes, collecting his thoughts as best as he could with the anxiety slowly rising up inside of him. He didn't want to fuck this up more than he already did.

"Virgil?" He called finally, his voice soft and whispered.

The man just laid there, not moving nor responding.

"Are you awake?" He tried again, cautiously taking a step forward just to freeze upon seeing Virgil turn towards him, two yellow snake like eyes staring back at him instead of the guy's usual brown-violet ones, a light violet hue surrounding his body.

"He is not. But I am, Bitch." 'Virgil' said, his voice underlined by a more feminine one. Roman shot a quick glance towards the dragon, immediately paling. Nyx was staring right at him, her face contorted into a silent growl and her eyes shining a bright violet as she used her energy and power to take over his soulmate voice.

"And I have a couple of words I would like to tell you: if you came here to make up stupid excuses for why you can't be with him just to fix your pathetic royal ego and make yourself feel less guilty, you can turn your ass back around right this moment.Don't even try, bitch." Nyx continued glaring daggers at the prince with both Virgil's eyes and her own, to which he just dropped his head in shame. " And to think I was even starting to like you when you told me to not be a bitch after Vee passed out from exhaustion, but now you're right back to square one." There was almost a mocking edge in her tone, that just contributed to make it colder, making the prince flinch with every word that was spoken next. "Because the truth is Roman, you are nothing but a little snobby bitch who can not handle having things not go the way you want them to go; you're just a spoiled little brat and I swear to the Goddess, if you're not here to apologize I will tear off your knee caps and use it to scoop out your smooth unwrinkled brain and slurp it up like jello, bitch, did you- Nyx what the fuck are you-" Virgil said finally waking up, rubbing his head sleepily in the spot where he could feel the pressure of Nyx's mind melting with his own; as soon as his eyes met Roman's pale and slightly shaking figure, though, he stopped, his eyes widening in realization.

Whatever words the prince had planned to say completely died in his throat as he watched the dragon-witch sharply turn towards his dragon, who was still glaring down at him.

"What did you say to him Nyx?!" He snapped, every trace of sleep or tiredness completely gone from his body.

The voice that answered his question though was not the dragon's sassy feminine one he was used to hear in his head, but Roman's shy and slightly shaking one instead.

"Nothing that I did not deserve to hear." He said, his voice just loud enough for both if them to hear.

Hearing those words Nyx's ears twitched and her eyes slightly widened; with all the things she was expecting to receive in response to her threat, that was not one of them. Looking back at it for a second, as she observed how Roman's hands were shaking and his cheeks were ret with shame, combined with the pure guilt and sadness in his eyes, maybe she had been a little harsh on him. Maybe. In her eyes he still deserved it for treating her best friend like shit and ignored him for two days, after he found out they were soulmates.
