It was dark in the room as I started to wake I could hardly see anything. I hurt all over and couldn't move. The memory of my dream still hunting me.
Was it a dream? This pain seems so real. I heard whispers I wasn't alone. Oh I wish I could wake up from this nightmare. "Madison your sisters are okay. your parents had a good time." Irwan this voice is Irwin the dragon in my dream.
"How long have I been out?" I searched the room for the source of the voice.
"About 5 hours." I so a flicker to my right of light. "Davon finds your sisters a bit wild and he things your older one need to move far away from old friends. He is going to bring her back here."
"To marry?" I asked.
"No it doesn't work like that."
"Why not?! Why is it okay for you to pick a girl off the street and ask her hand why isn't it the same with Zara. why does two man have to fight over one when there is two girls." I snapped at him. A claw came into to my view it came over to the hair over my eye. I looked away.
"I will not hurt you. let me get this straight you don't want two men fighting over you." Irwin sighed.
"It is more then that your a prince. I am an American with no manners no idea what rules expectations or lifestyle a dragon dynasty. I'm human. I want to marry but one man is enough for me. I want a higher education and fall in love through dates hanging out with friends. what if I can't have babies? how would I have a dragon?" I told him . I felt something heavy on my chest it caused me some pain that sent a involuntary hiss. I then felt heat.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Its a heat pack to help with swelling ice will be next. As for children I'm not worry at all if I have one. As for human having a dragon it will be human until it is full grown reach maturity. As for dating friend education I support all of that just keep the dates exclusively mine and maybe Davon we have not worked that out. you can have only one it is your choice. I am sorry that you were forced into this. I would have stopped it if i know." I moved the hand that didn't hurt as bad to feel the pack to find a mussel.
"The king didn't even seeing his children in the ring." stopping my exploring.
He was laying on me and heating my aching ribs with his body. " It is good experience for dragon children to lean defences. You can touch me. I do feel that it wasn't far that she knowing you had children on the feild that she shifted. I really wanted to save you but it all happened way to fast then the stand all can on the feild to kill you. I was there the second I could. I want to kill them all. I have never been so scared angry and sad for a woman. "
I laid there thinking drifting back to sleep in the warmth he was providing. "Why are you the children's nanny?" I mumbled.
"I am their teacher to help them become great dragons I'm one of the best teachers in the country. I not their nanny."
"Why is it they live with you? Don't students go home to parents after lessons. You are their parents when their parents are gone way. Are they with their parents now?" I asked fully awake again. "I know what it is you just don't want to be called a nanny because it's a job a female does and your a great worrier male dragon." I mused.
He chuckled sparks litthe room as he did. "I guess your right."
"You should be proud to be the children's guide and teacher because it is the most important task in this world if the children are not taught raised with love then the next generation will not be capable of taking over after this one can you imagine it? A soldier is important but all he does is protect those that can't protect themselves but if those children are not raised and taught who will be the protectors the lawyer the king the Baker after their death."
"I hate when you are right." he said softly with no anger or sting in his words. "I am proud to be these children's guardian." He sounded like a very bad rendition of a purr as he growled happy I think. I fell asleep.
I was cold oh so cold I began to shiver. "I think she has had enough she will get frostbite. I still don't see why we can't just heal her." snarled an angry man as the cold pulled away from me.
"She may loose her free will. She deserve her free will." Another more animal like words came.
"She is not that week minded and you know it is different when we bond marital we are equals." The other hissed out.
"Davon she doesn't want to get married yet. I am not going to take either from her."
" So your just going to let her suffer. Irwin I can't do that I can't when I can fix it." Davon wined.
"You can learn from pain and grow from it. If you always fix then a child a dragon can't learn from their mistakes and fix things. Then when you are gone they will die to because they never learned." I said through chattering teeth. "Can't you warm me up know I know you trying to help the swelling. "
I then felt a warm body on top of me. "Why would you not want to marry a prince it is all girls dream right?"
"Some girls dream of becoming great explorers, some bakers, some doctor, some electritions, some boxers, and lawyers. No person is the same me I have no manners I know nothing about edicts and this being a dragon kingdom I wouldn't know the first thing. You will learn something letting me heal as a human does." He was inches from my face his breath I could feel on my cheeks.
He kissed me with all the frustration he had rough I wined. Then he stopped and a loud cash across the room. I felt the tears running down my face and fear. Why can't I wake up from this nightmare?
"What you do that for?" he yelled the room got real cold.
"You where hurting her and scaring her." Irwin said calmly.
"I...she is mine." I felt something laid on my chest and warmth surrounded me. Davon growled.
"Forcing that will only drive fear and her away." Irwin said.
I was now even more scared "Don't fight why are you fighting? I just want to go home wake up from this nightmare. Dragon are myths none of this is anything but a dream." I sobbed I know it was real I could feel the pain in my body as I tried to move.
"Maddie please don't move to much. please don't cry." Davon said now humbled and next to me combing through my hair. "I'm sorry I'll behave." He nuzzled my neck. "Don't go." He whispered a note of fear in his voice.
I know that Irwin was also there by my side he didn't say anything but his heat was there. I fell asleep again.
It was day light as little tungs licked my face. I opened my eyes to see the faces in mine both little lizards. " You two kids come eat at the table leave her alone." said Davon. It was commanding but soft. They did as they were told. Davon then came over to me next to the bed was a chair on wheels.
He carefully sat me up I shivered. He stopped "I am not going to hurt you please don't fear me I'll be a gentleman." he whispered hurt in it and sadness.
"This is your consequence for your actions. I can't just get over it no healing power can fix the fear you put in me by your mean kiss." I glared at him. He frowned and nodded.
"I know I'll work on bring your faith in me back. I'm really sorry. " he gently picked me up and sat me in the chair. I hurt less but didn't want to move. He brought me up to the table.
I could do little to stop anyone from hurting me. I was no threat to anyone here. "How was watching my sisters did you get any sleep? "
"your sisters ask a lot of questions. They have quite a mix of personalities. I like the youngest the most. She a real cute hope she is that way when she is an adult. I got a little before your parents came home still madly in love couple. I find that a treasure that I hope I can have in you." Davon's word were bearly out when three beautiful well dressed women entered the room. The children were finding instantly.
" Is this where you have been hiding yourself handsome. Is the what they say true you have a bride?" She giggled. The others did too.
"The bride finding ball has taken the ice dragon off the market."
"Did Irwin fiance real dump him? An ugly tied to his work and have to care for the abandoned prince and princess as his own who would want to look at his ugly hide." They all laughed.
"Did you came to mock? That is a very ugly trait. It will drive any suitor of your to another guaranteed. Please leave." I told the waving my hand towards the door.
They fell silent I was not facing them but I'm sure that it was the first time they noticed the wheelchair. My hand was casted. I went back to eating Davon leaned back in his chair at the table just watching. He showed no emotion it looked like this was something he live with nothing new. Maybe he didn't want me to intervene. The silence stretched.
"Is this her? You are marrying a cripple. " one final said they all laughed.
"Look ladies I don't know about your spouses but I don't think you should hurt me in anyway because I don't think either one of mine will tolerate it. Please take your gossip somewhere else. I know what this is your jealous you secretly love these twins. oh how cute your guys haven't gotten over the face of bullying the ones you like. " It only took a second but all three girls were going for me then all three were pinned to the floor by both men.
The ladies began to cry "Daddy daddy!" They were not hurt not a tar in their dress still they cried, "Irwin and Davon are being mean." No one came though.
"That's enough Stephanie you are not hurt and this is my private home. Their is no one out there to hear you cry. what brings you?" Said Irwin.
I loud sniffle came from her "Your spouse called me ugly and jealous and a bully. Are you going to let her treat us like that." The twins looked at each other then began to laugh a belly laugh.
"She never called you ugly she called a trait ugly you used it though." Davon managed to say through his laughter.
"Madison Stephanie is our youngest sister. The other two are Camilla and Dora. They are my nieces. They are from my brothers Benjamin and Franklin. They seeking us out is uncommon."
"Coming to laugh at your failed engagement and the bride finding dance. Calling you cold and ugly for entertainment and pleasure doesn't seem like a reason to celebrate or acknowledge their visit." I told them turning away my head beings I was incapable of moving my chair.
both men kissed my cheek letting up the ladies from the floor.
Then a hard knock came on the door. What is next the timing is like that of a dream. Davon went to answer the door. "Prince Zara Dream would like to have a word with you. She isn't your prisoner is she?"
"No she is my guess she just doesn't know it she was still out when her parents agreed that Zara may need a change to get her away from the man that is killing her. She is welcome to come in." The man bowed and lead Zara in I was facing the guess and we were sitting in the sitting room now not eating anymore.
The children hid in there room that was a fine play room with nooks and ladders and nets shelves with books pillows and balls.
Zara wear a beautiful dress and had her hair done in ringlets. She had light dust of makeup. All together it made her look like a corcilin doll. She walked in with her head held high. "Are you my captor?" She said to Davon who stood at attention eyeing her. The other girls began whispering.
"I am your host you are my guess. I feel bad you were not informed but your parents felt it was for the best would you like to join us for a light breakfast." Davon said gesturing to a chair in the room they stood in the doorway of. She looked in.
She instantly recognized me. "Maddie what have you done to yourself. Why are you here? Why didn't you answer I need your help Mia got taken?" She was going to hug me I think but Davon pulled her way.
"She got is a fight over a men with another woman and lost." Said Stephanie rather cheeky.
"She is one of the mail order brides my uncles had to order because they can find a woman here." Laughed Dora.
Zara looked up at Davon who still held her around the waist then at me. She gently removed his hands and sat heavy on the chair. "So who is your husband? Is this how you wanted to find a husband I thought you wanted to become a baker open a shop we were going into it together was that all a lie. I counted on you we were going to room together. " The laughing girls fall silent eyes wide riveted as my sister focused only on me.
"Our plans was derailed by a game that kidnapped several people and sold to the lord who proposed a bride finding dance to lots of the people of Iceland. I had no choice. I am actually not married these twins have not forced it yet. Irwin promised I could still do what we planned though. Davon got Mia with guns blazzen and I hope your back stabbing boyfriend of yours was there to feel the burn. I am right now engaged to both I hope your beauty is a dream that came true to take ones eyes. A wife to two men isn't my dream."
"What do you mean Davon may have burned Garry?" Zara squeaked swallowing a sob. The ladies gasped sitting on the edge of their chair. I chuckled as I looked at them.
"I love him sis this isn't something to laugh at I can't love a man that killed the man I loved." her lip trembled.
"First sis Garry has a wife with three children a gambling habit that has taken every penny you earn for our business. Davon hasn't said he killed anyone. Please get over that jerk he doesn't love you. You have come so close to death 8 times sence you met him because of him." I said with a raised brow. Another gasped came from our little audience.
"I have not died that many time in this year...." I cocked my brow. "Have I?"
"Yes and you remember none of it. You still go back to him." I told her as a little dragon appeared in my lap just a wailing and squeaking holding out her little tail. Zara eyes went wide as she gasped.
"Daten get in here." I yelled towards the room. A large dog size dragon came running in then saw the little dragon crying he stopped. He looked back and forth from Irwin to me. Zara climbed into Davon's lap hiding. The ladies went into giggled.
"Daten do you know what happened to your sisters tail?" He shook him head on with his head low. He looked at Irwin squeaked with and little roar.
"Please give her a hug and be more careful in playing and don't hurt her." I told him his head raised look between the two of us again. I didn't see what Irwin did, but Daten came over and hugged his sister nose nuzzled her she stopped crying but didn't leave my lap. "Thank you Daten you may go back to play." he rubbed against my hand and left.
"I know your argument to well sis you tell me his hands know how to drive you crazy. It's hard to give up that kind of pleasure." She peeked up from Davon's chest.
"What was that?" she asked.
A cruel smile and a laugh one of the girl said, "That's a baby dragon."
Zara's eyes went wide again gripping Davon's shirt "Ddddragon." she said scared. They laughed tears in their eyes from the seen they created.
"Zara what you freaking out about? They aren't snakes komodo dragons don't hurt people. I still think you need to try to see if you can get pleasure from a man that loves and cares for you. Garry is using as his pimp dad he doesn't love you." She sprong out of the chair.
The ladies half off their chairs fell went quiet excited. "This is going to be all over the kingdom. The Twins woman are sisters fighting about another man. How they got here and all kinds of trash." I grumbled.
"That is very true." Irwin said "We will handle it though."
"He does love me! Who are these hyenas anyways?" Zara yelled standing up with fist clenched.
They all jumped up "What did you call me?"
Zara turned to them "Hyenas a animal that are scroungers of others food. That sounds like all they can do is laugh." she barked hands on her hip.
"I think you got the wrong animal." They hissed.
"Zara these ladies are Stephanie camilla and Dora Davon and Irwin family a sister and nieces. They are here to harass their down on their luck family members. As entertainment Garry never loved you and Davon can bring you pleasure that Garry's half hearted sex he gave you. Don't stir the cat you will get scratched I can't protect you." I told Zara from my chair. Issy laid in my lap asleep I stroked her little head.
Zara spin around to me Davon's eyes where wide with a big laughing smile on his face the girl with hands on their hips was glaring. "You don't know that.... Have you had sex with him?... You stole my man..." The whole thing was comical she bounced from angry interested to angry then he plopped down on the chair.
"Zara I'm still a virgin I have had no time to see if these man have love making skills but they sure can kiss. As for knowing your sex life with Garry you have done it publicly a few times once got you arrested. Davon slip that shirt off."
"Why can't Irwin do it? Do you like him beter?" Davon wined with a pout that couldn't stay because of the grin.
"I noticed a while ago Irwin doesn't have a shirt on your the one hiding you beautiful body." I told him. Zara for the first time looked at the man sitting next to me. Her eyes went wide and her mouth fell open her hands twitched. She just caught the shirt movement she looked behind her to Davon. She licked her lips her hand went up on it's own touching his pecks.
There was a scar she traced in a trance her hand followed her eyes. The glaring ladies mouth went wide and starting to giggle. Their giggles pulled Zara out of her mind and she dropped her hand. "What was the point of this?"
"Your fetish is scars and pecks sis. Garry has not been the only man you been with. He just puts the right sight in front of you and they pay him for your performance have come in many times to get you out of trouble with you being road hard by another without Garry even in the room but you never seem to remember. " The ladies dropped to the chairs mouths wide.
She looked at me confused even shocked. "This conversation is the same after every near death experience. your memory still is no better. This is why you have been brought here to get away from those friends of yours. Embrace it please." Her eyes traveled to the shirtless men again licking her lips again.
"I don't have a fetish. There is nothing wrong with my memory." her eyes followed the scar on Irwin's neck. "Where did you get that sexy scar?" she was moving towards him hand nearly touching it following it with her head. The ladies couldn't suppress a gasp or were they taking in a breath. Irwin grabbed her hand spinning her and spanking her.
She groaned the ladies put there hands over there mouth as she fell on her knees noticed something.
That is when Davon picked her up and left the room. "Do you think he will have sex with her?"
"Sorry to disappoint you but he is in the bathroom. most likely turning cold shower on her." Irwin said
"Brother she is perfect for you she would worship you for your scares." A loud noise from the bathroom. Then Davon came out with her on his shoulder.
"I'm going home. Good day ladies." He said leaving with what looked like a knocked out Zara I knew better.
"Did he knock her out?" Camilla asked agosto.
"No the water it triggers something I don't understand it always does. She just fainted and we will have this conversation again because she will have forgot it. She doesn't believe there is anything wrong so she doesn't get help. This move is probably our last hope to bring her back. It is sad and something I don't understand."
"Was there a reason you came?" Irwin asked.
"Yes you are to come to dinner with you wife tonight to introduce her. You should do something about her look it is rather poor." Stephanie said then stood giggling.
What a nightmare.
