Chapter One
“Where am I?” Steve asked suddenly, startling me and
Candy. I jumped up from my bed and practically ran over to him, feeling his
head for any fevers. “He’s finally awake?” Candy, my little six year old
companion, asked as she rubbed her eyes and made her way over to me. I felt a
surge of relief when I felt Steve’s small horns poking out gently beneath his
hair.
Yeah, you heard me right. You see, Steve and I are a
special kind of creature called the ‘Dragon Kin’, while Candy is a regular
mutant child called a ‘Moleworm’. Up until a few hours ago, I hadn’t realized
that Steve was a Dragon Kin, same as me. Our guardian, Aaron Richard, is the
same as me, as well as a boy named Severin. My heart pulled uncomfortably at
the thought of him, and I had to fight a sudden urge of tears that threatened
to spill. Presently, we are in some part of Canada , and Aaron was at the library, using one of their
computers to buy all of us a plane ticket to New Orleans to find Severin. He had been kidnapped by the Dragon
Kin Hunters in their attempt to steal my blood, and now they were holding him
captive somewhere in New
Orleans , doing
who-knows-what to him.
“Don’t freak out, but you aren’t in Wisconsin anymore,” I told him softly, feeling a familiar rush
of heat when he grasped my hand. We had met him in Wisconsin , the place where he had supposedly grown up. “Then
where am I? How did I get here?” he asked, and would have been in a panic if
his body wasn’t so weak from just waking up from the treatment of the Draki Blood,
the blood of our ancestors that helps us become what we are. Right after the
attack from the Dragon Kin Hunters, right after Severin had gotten kidnapped,
Aaron had brought us home and injected his own blood into Steve’s arm. He had
passed out after that, and that is where we are right now.
“Listen,
we’ll explain later, when Aaron gets back. For now, just rest,” I told him,
gently but firmly. Then I blushed at the absurdity of what I was asking. How
can someone go back to resting when they didn’t know where they were? Steve’s
hand was still grasping my hand tightly, so hard it began to bruise.
This is all that I will give ya'll for now. Don't be greedy and try to ask me for more, because I think I might add a little bit more at a later time. That is all for now, so I guess I'll see ya'll later!
