Flashback
I drive through the empty streets as I enter into a ghost town. Since the rebel of my people, many place were attack and soon the humans abandoned their home and fled for safety. I turn into a dark road as I pull up to a huge house on a cliff. The building was a mess and it had a hole right in middle of the house. I turn off my motorcycle and I start to walk towards the house. Vines runs down the house as grass was growing in the pavement. I walk in and looks around the house. This place used to be beautiful, but now it's in ruins. I see a picture frame on the floor as I pick it up and flip it over to see a picture of a family. Ivan sat in a chair straight while Marco on his left and Amy on his right while I stand behind his chair.
We all looked happy there, but I can see the darkness in my eyes since I was going training during those times. I placed it on the couch as I reach the end of the room where their was a hole that showed the view of the cliff. I look towards the moon to see it shining bright in the sky as I slowly took off my upper armour to leave a black shirt and my armour pants. My heart beats fast as I can feel wind blow right behind me and I turn around to stand in front of Alexis. He had grown up a bit and looks more mature."I have been waiting....it is time." I nod as he walks up to me and wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me closer. I lay my head on his chest as his wings spread and he takes off in the air. Wind blows in my ears as he fly to the lsland.
Present day
Michael p.o.v
The week goes by fast since training was harsh. More hours and more punishment to the point I was close to dead. Everyone was surprised when I survived the night since Alexis would come and heal me. My back was covered in scars and my spirit has harden to the point I was able to kill my first victim. I barely show any emotions since I now contain them in me so I don't make myself weak.
I was putting on my sleeve as Ace walk into my room to see I only had on my black sport bra on with my black camo pants. His face turns red as he stared at me until I pulled a small dagger and throw it straight to his right shoulder. It his him as he falls back and bumping straight into Ivan. I sighs as I put on my shirt while Ivan walk around Ace."I brought you a gift for you to wear for your presentation today at the base." I take the wrapped gift from his hands as I placed it in the bed and unwrapped. It had a new collection of daggers, a cool black mask, and long black coat. I looked at him excited as I take the mask and put it on. It was light but beautiful at the same time. It covered from my nose to my mouth as it was covered in black and golden dragon logo was on the side of it
I took out the coat to see a golden dragon crest on the back like the mask. I look in the mirror as I admire the coat with the mask."It is perfect, Thank you so much father." Since I have been living here, I had to get us to call him father since he treated me like a daughter. He has so far given me a best life I could ask for, but I miss Jake and my father so today I return back and I would be presented to the base as the new Black Dragon. "No problem sweetie, I want you to look nice for your entrance and I have one more surprise." I looked at him as a servant walks in with a polished new sword on his hands.
My eyes widened as he take itand places it in front of me."O...M...G, is this for me?" He nods as I take it into my hands as I admire it. I take it off the holster as I see the blade very sharp and clean. I swing it as I can feel it very light, but strong as well. The handle was black and have a golden logo of a dragon on it and my name was graved in Japanese."I love it! Thank you so much." I hug him as he hugged me back as well. He turn towards Ace who was leading on the wall."Next time Ace, Michael will not aim for your shoulder. She will aim for your head." He point Ace's forhead as he leaves and I walk up to him. I pull the dagger out of him and start to clean it.
He leaves in a hurry as I finish clean it and back up the rest of my things into my suitcase. I place my sword on the holster that is on my waist and I grab my mask, my coat and my suitcase as I walk out of my room. I walk into the living room and a servant takes my suitcase to take it to the jet. Ace joins up and I can tell the healer healed him."Well now that everyone is here. Let's get going, we don't have all day." We head to the jet and climb in to take off. We all sit down and buckle in as the jet springs into life and take off.
I can wait to head back to the base.
James p.o.v
I walk through the base with Jake beside me as we head to the main floor where the presentation of the Black Dragon would be presented to us. I am really worried about Michael since we have no message from her at all. We finally reach the main floor as we take our seat when we can see the middle of the plaza. Jake continues to look around while my leg bounced as we waited for the presentation. Everyone was very excited since we have a new protecter that was chosen. No one knows about Michael and they don't know it is a girl at all. The last time I saw here, she was a bit chubby, small and was a bit scared all the time. She was always worried that she would do something wrong and sometimes that pushed her down.
We wait for a few minutes until we all see Ivan approach the middle with a mic in his shirt."HELLO EVERYONE, HOW IS EVERYONE DOING TODAY!" Everyone cheer wildly as he waved his hands."I KNOW EVERYONE MUCH HAVE HEARD.....A NEW BLACK DRAGON WAS CHOSEN! IT WASN'T EASY, BUT NOW IT HAS COME TO THIS DAY, ARE YOU READY FOR THE COMPETITION?" Everyone cheers as Ivan signals someone as a man stand on the corner of the mat since he must be a fighter. "LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, INTRODUCINGGGG THE NEW...BLACK....DRAGONNNNN!" Everyone whistle and screams as I see a figure approach the mat. It had a long black coat, a black mask on and black camo pants on. A sword was on the side and I can tell it was very new. Michael appears on the mat as I can see she walks very different. Everyone cheers as she hold a fist in the air as she looks around until her eyes land on me. I am surprised to see her, but I can see no emotions in her. She looks away as she goes to the corner and gets ready. She take off her coat and her sword as I can see a trainer with her and whispering to her.
She is different.
Michael p.o.v
Ace whisper to me to make sure I showed no fear and made sure to show everyone that just because I am a girl, it doesn't mean I am weak. Ivan walks up to me and I look go to take off my mask, but he stops me."Keep it on for now, if the fighter rips your shirt, take it off... if the mask comes off, leave it and continue to fight so everyone can see who you are." I nod as I warm myself up. I feel a strong presence as my eyes land on Alexis who was standing on a far corner. He nods at me to let me know he was here for me. I walk up to the mat as everyone gets very excited. My opponent is bigger than me and muscular. I have grown muscles but not big ones yet. I relax until the bell ring and the man charged at me. I dodge the swing as he also trips. I love to first get my opponent embarrassed and make mistakes so I can study him. What I see is that he swing without think, but if I was closer to him, he would at least land a few on me. We continue to fight until he lands a hard punch to my stomach that send me to the ground. Pain erupts, but I block the pain as I stand up quickly and dodge a swing from his sword. I realized that was on the other side of my corner and my sword was on the chair. The guy gets inform of me and tries his best to get me. Once I saw an opening, I quickly rushed to my corner, but I feel something slides on my back as I got to my corner. I get up and see that my shirt was covered in blood and people were cheering for the guy. I look at Ivan as he nods and I grab my sword.
I ripe my shirt to expose my sport bra and my scars on my body. I can hear a few shocks sighs as I smirk under the mask and swing my wrist before getting into position. The guy gets mad and swing his sword to impact my sword. I push him a bit and trip him to the ground, but he his me on the stomach sending me a few steps back. He surprised me with a punch on the side my face to the point my mask falls. Everyone stays quiet and waits for me to look up so everyone can see me. A smirk forms in my lips as I chuckled and looked up to the guy. I can feel a strong energy build on me as my eyes glow bright gold. I start to move fast to the point the guy start to make mistakes and I slices his back and stomach.
He was on his knee from all the pain as for me ....I felt pleasure for doing this. I walk behind him and place my sword on his back where his heart is located and Ivan walk up to the mats."EVERYONE.....MANY KNOW THAT WE DON'T WANT ENEMIES AND IF SOMEONE DARES TO MESS WITH A DRAGON OR A HUMAN....IT WILL BE THEIR END."I push the sword in and everyone cheers as I pull the sword out and the guy's body twitches a bit. I walk to my corner as I grab a towel and clean the blood off my sword and Ivan gives me my mask back. I put it on and my coat as we leave.
We head into a office and they leave me alone for a bit while they find my father. The door opens and closes quickly as I turn around to see Alexis there."What at you doing here?" He smiles as he get to work and start to heal my back."I said I would watch over you so that is what I am doing. Your father is not happy at all. He will get mad with Ivan since he saw a different you." I sighs as I swipe the sewat off my forehead. "I am different when I am with Ivan. I have to act and show no emotions, but when I am alone....I think a lot and sometimes it effects me."
"Whatever happens, make sure you explain to your father because he will try to get you away from Ivan." I nod and he looks to the door as if he was listening to something."I got to go, please me careful and I will be seen you around." He kisses my forehead and leaves the room. I grab a new shirt and put it on as a servant opens the door."Sorry miss, but Ivan is calling you. Can you please follow me?" I nod as I put on my mask and my coat to follow the servant. People looked at me and whispered to each other while other looked excited to see me. I am now like their protecter and they want to feel safe. We arrive to a different room and the servant tells me to wait outside.
I wait outside leaning in the wall, but I can hear their conversation clearly.
"No No No No No! This is not what I send my child with you. I wanted for Michael to learn better than everyone and be strong! I don't want her to be a murderer that kills everyone for fun. This is not what I want for her!"
"James, this is what she needs.....she won't be a little girl for the rest of her life! She need to grow up and look at her now. Please give me another week for her. I can provide her a good home, good food, extra care, a family that will care for her. If she stays here, there is no future for her."
There is silence as I can hear my father sit down in a chair."Are you saying what I am think you are saying?"
"Let me care for Michael, one she is old enough, she can decide for herself if she want to come back to the base. Let me adopted her as my own daughter so she can have a bright future."
I am shocked on what I am hearing...Ivam wants to adopt me. I know father would never let that happen, but if he continues to decline him....I know Ivan will do something terrible to my family. "No, I can't let you do that." My father walk out of the room and looks at me. He signals me to follow, but I stay standing there as I stare at Ivan while he walks out. I could follow my father, but right now I am looking at my commander."Michael! Let's go!" Ivan signals me to step forward and he makes me look at my father while he stand behind me with his hands on my shoulder."Michael...are you really not going to listen to me? Let's go." My hands start to sweat a bit as Ivan chuckles."She won't listen because I am her commander....when I am present, she only listens to me."
My father looked at disbelief as we hear small footsteps until we see Jake running down the hall. He tries to run towards me, but my father stops him. Jake looks at me confused as Ivan lead to my ears and whispers softly."Try to convince your father because if not, I think I know who will pay the consequences." I look at him and follow his eyes and it lands on my brother Jake. I ball my fist as Ivan sighs."It's okay Michael, go with you family. I know you are tired so I let you go get some rest. I will have a personal trainer here for you and I know you and your father have a lot to talk about." He kisses my forehead and I give him a small bow. My father have started to walk while Jake runs to me and I pick him up in my arms. He goes to looks at Ivan but stop him.
"It is not nice to stare." He nods and lays his head on my shoulder as I follow my father to the elevator. We get to our floor and father doesn't say a single word to me as we arrive to our room. I now see it smaller than I remember as I closed the door behind me. I go to put Jake down, but he hugs me and doesn't let me go. I walk into our room and sit on his bed as I rocked him slowly. I can feel he was tense and he was scared since he had his small arms wrapped around my neck. We stay siting there for an hour until I can feel his breathing change and I see he is sound asleep. I placed him softly on his bed, tugged him in and left the room as I closed the door. I take off my coat and my sword as I places them on the table. I was reaching to take off mask until I see my father standing a few feet from me.
His eyes were a bit red and tear stains were on his cheeks. He walks up to me slowly and reaches to the side of my mask and unclips it to take it off. He places it on the table and looks at me."What did he do to my girl? Where is she?" I look away and walk into the kitchen as I pour myself some water."People change father, I am not a little girl anymore. I am now The Black Dragon for our people and I can't act like a little girl." I drink a bit as I walk back to the table and sit down. I kept the glass of water on my hand I can continue to take sips of it."Michael, I love you so much, but I can't let you go with Ivan. I saw too much and it looks like you enjoy it." I smirked and I looked at him."I think you miss the point....if I didn't do it I was going to get punished by Ivan and you wouldn't be able to stop him. My training with Ivan was intense and every mistake I made...there was consequences."
"That doesn't matter! You need to defend yourself and stand up in what you believe!" I close my eyes as I try to take a deep breath to control myself."This is not some fun games you can play along Michael! We are talking about people's lives!" My leg started to bounce as I sweeze the cup of glass in my hand." Father, please listen.." He shakes his head as he get in front of me."No you listen! I want to protect you and I don't care what consequences you get, you need to stand up against them!" I break the cup of glass on my hand as I stand up and point to my room."HE IS THE CONSEQUENCES IF I DON'T LISTEN TO IVAN!" My father stand there in silence as I close my eyes to regroup my thought."When Jake appeared on your side, Ivan whispered to me if I can't convince you to let me go....Jake will pay for your actions since you wouldn't listen to me." He looks aways and I growl as grab my coat, my sword and my mask."Where are you going?" I put them on and I grab a napkin to stop the bleeding from my hand."I need time to think and you as well. I need space from this place." I leave immediately and my father doesn't come after me.
I rush to the roof of the base as I open the door to see the view of the sky. The sun was starting to set as I slide down the wall to the ground and sat down. I took of my sword and my mask as I layed them beside me. I leaned my head on the wall as the wind blew softly on my face."Sometime people doesn't understand and they are blind from the truth." I look to my left to see Alexis standing there as the sun shined his body."What are you doing here Alexis?" He looks at as he crouches beside me.
"I wish I could ask Daniel. He took over my body and I was able to take control and I found myself in the behind the door. He has done this two times already and he is starting to get irritated." I signs as I took his hand."Let me talk to him again....I need to put him back in line if he is doing this to you." He looks hesitate as he look to the view."Okay, but I will warn you, he is more desperate then last time." I nod as he closed his eyes so he can let Daniel in. I look back to the view and admire it for a bit until an arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer as I turn to see red eyes looking at me.
Daniel eyes were bright as he stand up with me in his arms. He did looked more desperate as he kisses me passionately. He pushes me to the wall and he continue to kiss me while his hands roam under my shirt as he tried to ripe it. I stop him from ripped my shirt and he smirks in the kiss. He breaks it as he stares at me."I want to take you so I can you as mine."He face was close to my neck and shoulder as he kisses it. I can feel his canines on the skin of my shoulder as I grab his head make him look at me."Remember....this is not your body... don't do something that you will regret." He looks at me and smirks."I have a few hour and I think Alexis wouldn't mind at all." I look at as I blushed hard and he connects my lip to his as he slowly lays me on the floor with him on top of me. I can feel my dragon release herself as the moon shines us in the dark of night.
Daniel p.o.v
Michael layed on my chest as we admire the stars. I want to mark her so bad, but this is not my body. Alexis wouldn't forgive me if I marked her without his consent and he would be connected to her for the rest of his life. She rubbed my chest as she looked at me. Her golden eyes were bright as she kisses me cheek. I wrap my arms around her and pulled her closer to me as I wanted to stay longer until I can hear Alexis from the back of my head."It is time Daniel." I sign as I looked at her. The is the best thing that could ever happen to me and now I will have to what until she thinks it is time. I kisses her one more time until I sit up."I have to go, Alexis need to head back to the cave." She smiles as I stand up with her. I never understand why Michael hasn't fall for Alexis since he is always showing up with his bare chest and pants. I admire Michael as she stand in front of me and I hold her hand."Please listen to Alexis since he know what he is doing. Time will fly by fast and we will be together, okay?" I nods softly as she smile and hugs me."I love you Daniel and we will see each other again soon." I hug her tight and I can feel Alexis take over the body and I am surrounded by darkness.
Michael p.o.v
He hugs me tight for a bit until I can the grip loosen as I look up to see Alexis blue eyes. He looks around and back to me."Please tell me everything went well?" I chuckled as I nod."He understand and he will behave." Alexis signs in relief as he lets me go."Take care Michael, I hope to see you around." He bows to me as his wings spread and takes off into the air. I watch him fly into the distance by the cover of the moon light.
I hope everything turns out well.
