Michael p.o.v
We arrive at the outlet mall since this was a place that we could camouflage in the crowd from the news reporters. I had my sunglasses on so I can cover my eyes because they can also discover who I was. We all bought new shoes and clothes as well since sometime they were ripped while fighting. I got some new pair of combat boots while Ana got a new holster for her gun.As we walked around, I saw that they were doing free piercing. I walk in and see what kind they had until I saw a small diamond that was shaped into a dragon logo. I pick it and sign the papers while the others looked around, but they decided not to get one.
A woman get my form and looks through it as I have her the piercing I wanted. She looked at me as if I was sure I wanted that one. I sit down as she rubs rubbing alcohol on my left ear so it can numb a bit. She place the earing to where it was mark and she pushes it in. I wince a bit as she put a pin in the back so it can hold it as she signs the paper."Keep it on, it will heal in a hours for you and keep it clean." She winks as she hands me the paper and I leave to see the gang eating some ice cream."Wow Michael, that is a nice piercing!" I smile as I sit beside Ana, but she move to my lap as she give me some of her ice cream.
After a few hours, we were already tired with all the walking. Ana places her purse on the bench while she stretched until I see a kid in a black hoodie walk by and grabs it."Hey!" The kid turn towards me before he take off the running. I take off a well with Jacob right behind me. We run pass crowds as the kid tries his best to hid in the crowd. I signal Jacob to run take a short cut so we can cut him off. I continue to chase him until he runs into Jacob's arms and Jacob pins him to the wall. People stopped to watch as I took off my glasses and people backed away as they saw my eye color. The kid noticed as well as he threw the purse to the ground surrendering.
I grab the purse as Jacob looks at me so what do we do to his kid. The kid had ripped jeans and his shoes were dirty. His face was cover in dust and dirt while is crystal green eyes were covered in tear and terrified from me. I signal Jacob to let him go as I grab his face and he looked nervous. I smile as I move some of his hair out of the way and I see his dragon mark on the side of his neck."I am not going to do anything to you. Come with me and let me help you." He looked to me around the age five or six as he slowly walked towards me and wrapped his tiny arms around my neck.
I can feel him crying a bit as I rub his back as the twins and Ana catch up to us. I gave Ana's purse back as she look at the small kid in my arms. "Is there a store to get him clothes?" She nods as she leads me to a small shop where there was small clothes for him. I try to let him down,but he wrapped his arms tighter around my neck. I pat his back as Ana asked for help from the shop owner for the size of the kid. She gave us a two pair of shirt and pants with some underwear and socks. Ana pays for them and we head to a shoe store and get him two pair of shoes as well.
We head to the restroom as I hand Jacob some of the thing to change the kid. I put him him as he stares at Jacob scared."Hey, it's okay, he is going to help you and get you cleaned up." He looked hesitate until I get an idea."If he does something to you, then tell me so I can kill him." The boy smiles and takes Jacob's hand as he leads him to the restroom. Jacob looked back like if I was talking for real.
After 30 minutes, Jacob come out with the boy in a new cute outfit and he looked clean than before. The boy runs to me and puts his arms up so I can pick him up. I lift him as we all head out and walk towards our car. A group of guys walk pass us and I can feel something off those guys. They were all dressed in black as they walk to the mall. I look at the gang as I can see they all got the feeling as well. I walk to the car as I open the trunk as I place my bags in and Ana puts her as well. The boy doesn't let me go as I try to figure out where he would sit."Hey buddy, can you sit with my mate Ana?" He looks at Ana as she extends her arms towards him. He looks at me before he extends his small arms out and I pass him to her.
She get in as she sit down and keep him in her lap and puts the seat belt around both of them. I get in and start the car as I drive off with Jacob behind me. As we pass many restaurants, I can here the boy's stomach growl but he looks down immediately. I see a small fast restaurant as I drive in and go to the drive through. there was a small line, so I asked Ana to search what they served. They served burgers, salads, soups and kids meals as well. "Hello, welcome to inn to go, what can I get you today."
"Hello, can I get two chicken burgers with two medium fries then I want a kid's meal with a small chocolate smoothie." i wait for a while until the total popped out."Okay, it will be $35,45, please head to the next window." I drive to the next window as I take out my card and wait. A young lady opens it and I hand my card. She smile at me as she puts my card in then give it back to me. she leave to get our food while I wait and I can feel jealously running through my body.
I look at Ana weird as she looked at me so serious."what? she is been nice?" she shakes her head as the lady walk up to the window."Can you please park in the parking lot while your order is been made?" I nod as I drive off and park. I see Jacob driving up and getting his order while looking confused at me. The lady walk out with my order and I can tell her skirt was a bit up and her shirt was a bit down as well. I blushes red as I look away towards Ana who look like she was going to murder the lady. The lady walks up to my window as I take the food and hand it to Ana.
I push a button on top so it can open the roof top of my car. As it open, the lady gets too close to the car and she smiles at me."So hotty, are you free this weekend?" She leans onto my car as she touches my arm."Sadly, no I am busy with my job." The roof top finally off and the lady see Ana siting there looking dangerous at her while the boy looked at her with his small arms crossed."Oh is this your sister and your brother?" I chuckle as I take off my sunglasses and she noticed my eyes."This is my girlfriend and my son, I see you are done....I suggest you leave." Her face flusters in red as she leaves immediately. I smirk as I put my sunglasses on and look at Ana who smiled as me. she leans in and kiss my cheek as I start the car and take off. I head to a park as I park close to a table and get off as I take the boy in my arms while Ana takes our food. We sit down and soon the others join as well.
I see the boy was eating his food fast like if he hasn't ate in a few days. Once he finished, he threw his trash away and then crawls into my lap. He stare at the playground while we ate and I see the twin finished first."Hey bud, go with the twins to the playground. I am going take a while to finish so you can go and play." The twins looked at each other before they smiled at the boy." Yeah, come with us while they finish their food." The boy gives a small smile before he gets off my lap and joins the twin as they head to the playground. I turn towards Jacob as he pulls his phone out."Who is he Jacob?" He take a picture of the boy and process it through his system."His name is Alexis Lopez, he is five yrs old , without parents and he was in base 200 before he was transferred to a human orghanage because he wasn't passing any of the test, but there is something wrong about this." He show me a map of the location of where be was."He was in Washington and claimed that he was missing. How in the world is he here in Texas?" I look back at Alexis as he laughed when the twins chase him. If the human orghanage found out he was a dragon, then they must have try to find a way to get rid of him."Wait, there is more.....there was a scavenger hunt for hunters and there were three people on the board. It was two girls which we found and claimed, but there are missing the boy...which is Alexis." I take Jacob's phone as I ready the scavenger hunt message to all hunters. it looks like they already caught the two girls, but so far they haven't caught Alexis yet. I check my phone to see my father has called me 30 times in the passed 40 minutes.
I call him back and he responds immediately."WHAT THE HELL MICHAEL? I HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR EVER, ARE Y'ALL ALRIGHT? WHERE ARE YOU?" I take my phone a bit further from my ear since he was screaming."I am here at the park with the gang eating lunch. We are all okay, why are you asking?" I stand up as I walk away to table."There was hunters spotted at the mall and I knew you guys went there. The hunters were looking for a someone, but my sources hasn't figured out yet. Right now the hunters are getting close to a park, if you guys are there,GET OUT OF THERE NOW!" he hangs up and I signal Ana, Jacob and the twins that it was time to go. Alexis goes to take off to rub towards me, but i signal Lucas to grab him and take him with them so they can hid him. we all run to our car and I can see Alexis whining a bit and it was hurting me seen him like thay, but he need to hide. I get into my car as I start it and Ana gets in quick as well. I take off first as I turn in a corner and speed out. Soon Jacob followed me as we speed off until we see a black van pass by us heading to the park. I grip the wheel hard as we continue to drive back home.
We arrive home and I park quickly as Jacob parks as well. The door open and I can hear scream and crying from the back. I rush to the door to see Alexis struggle under Lucas's arms as he pushed and punch him. Once Alexis saw me, he extends his small arms out as I take him and he hold onto me tight. he burries his head on my neck as I rubbed his back to calm him down. Everyone goes into the house while I can here my father scream at them."WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU GUYS? I WAS WORRIED FOR MICHAEL....."He stopped screaming as soon as I entered the house with Alexis crying in my arms. He stares at me for a good few seconds until I walk away with ana following me."I am going to calm down Alexis, Jacob tell him everything what happened." I walk upstairs to my room as I open it and Ana closes it. I sit on my bed as I rock Alexis since he was still crying.
After an hour later, Alexis falls asleep from exhaustion and I wrap him in a blanket and lay him in my bed. Ana up out all the clothes we bought at the mall and grab some clothes since she was going to shower. I sat as I watch Alexis sleep and Ana comes from behind and lays her head on my shoulders. She massage them as I close my eye since I enjoy it."Come and join me in the shower. He is not going anywhere, he is safe." I look at her as I kiss her and shake my head. '"I am okay, next time I will join you." She smiles as she grab a towel and head to the bathroom and locks the door. I can hear the water run and I sat there before I can can feel something warm on my neck.
it start to rub my neck, but it was get very hot and I realized that Ana was teasing me. I try control myself as I try to push the feeling away, but I can feel my body starting to move on its own as I forces the door open and closes it quickly. I take off my shoes, sock and shirt before I step into the shower as I press my body against her and she heats up quickly." Stop teasing me, if not I will not be able to stop myself." I press my face on the side of her neck as I can soon feel my dragon taking over me.
I put on some shorts and a black tank top as I dry my hair with my towel. Few minutes later Ana comes out with a shirt of mine and some black sweats. I see in the mirror as i see two hikkies on my neck while Ana had two on each side of her neck. she walks slowly to the bed as I can tell she was bit sore, but I did warned her. Alexis was still sound asleep, but he needed to eat so I shake him a bit and he opens his eyes quickly in fear before he see me. I smile as I unwrap him and he does a big stretch before sitting up."It time for dinner, I will cook you something up." He nod as he extends his arm out and I pick him up."Do you want something to eat Ana?" She nods as she stand up and follows me out of our room. We arrive at the kitchen as I place Alexis in a seat and I washed my hands. I look around to see what we had and I decided to make some grill cheese sandwich for both of them. As I makes them, I heard footsteps walking into the kitchen and I see my father leaning on the kitchen counter. He looks at Alexis and makes Alexis super scared that he jumps off his chair and hides in front of me from my father."Can you please stop staring at him like that father? he is just scared and you are making it worst." I pick up Alexis as he watched me cook his sandwich while my father sighs."I am sorry, it just weird how you he is attached to you so quickly. you look like a mother to him." I smile as I place the sandwiches on plates and I hand one to Ana. I place Alexis back on his chair as I plate his sandwich in front of him."can I talk to you alone for a bit father?" He nods as we leave the kitchen and head to the living room."I have been meaning to ask.....what the hell were three dragons doing at a human orghanage?" He rubs his head as he pours himself some scotch."I was at base 200 when they informed me about six kids been humans. They asked if they could send them to an orghanage so I signed the papers and they were send off to Washington since they were the only orghanage that could accept them. The only problem was that they didn't notified me that three of them were dragons at all." I sigh as I pour myself some vodka since I needed something strong. Why didn't they notified my father about those kids? They could have been send back to their base with their families, bur instead they place them on a bounty.
"My question for you Michael is what are you going to do? I am going to leave Alexis in your hand so you can do whatever with him. If you want him in your custody, then you need to go to base 200 to get the paperwork and I will sign it off." I look at him and nod."Arrange a meeting tomorrow for me. I will go with Alexis and Ana so we can get the paperwork." He smiles as he places his hand on my shoulder."I am really proud of you Michael, you are someone that I never imagined in my life to be in it. It is good as well for the public eye and the council as well if they see you became a mother for an orphan." The council is a high level that is upon me and my father. I do have authority, but it is limited in certain things.
Commander Adam is one of the council and a good friend of mine as well. He is the only one I can trust from all the council and he has helped me a lot since they told me everything. The council is always alerted every step I make and decision as well and I know for a fact they will know about this. "I will arrange a meeting with the person in charge at the base for tomorrow. Make sure to gets some rest both of y'all and we will leave early tomorrow morning." I nod as he takes out his phone to make a call. I head to the basement to take out a box of toys for Alexis. I find the box and pull out some small cars and action figures. I walk back to the kitchen to see Alexis finishing his food."Come Alexis, I have some toys for you to play while I do some work." He is surprised that I know his names as he gets off his seat and we head to the living room. He grabs the toys to play while I grab my laptop to order some clothes through online. I order shirts, shorts, pants, shoes toys and include a small bed for him to put on my room as well. I also get a small car seat for him and some other things he need as well.
Soon it hit 10 pm and I can see Alexis slowly falling asleep as he was playing. I close the laptop and catch him before he fall face to the ground."Hey bud, do you want to sleep in a different room or you want to sleep with me and Ana?" He thinks about it before he turn to me."Can I stay with you?" I smile in surprised since this was the first time he spoke to me. I carry him upstairs into my room and I see Ana was on the bed with her phone. I place Alexis on the bed while I find a back shirt for him to wear. I help take off his shoes, shirt and pants so I can put my black shirt to him so he can sleep comfortable. I take Ana's phone as she sits up looking upset."What was that for?" I smirk as I go to kiss her, but move to her left ear."It's time for bed." I pull away to see she was blushing a bit since I teased her like how she did to me. Ana lays down on the left side, Alexis in the middle while I was on the right side of the bed. I turn off the lights as I can feel Alexis cuddling closer to me while we both fall into deep sleep.
Morning
Banging on the door suddenly woke me up as look around to see it was morning."Go away!" I lay back down as I close my eyes to sleep some more until the banging continues."I SAID TO LEAVE!" I try to get more sleep until the door us busted open at force. I sit up immediately as I see Ace entering in with a smirk on his face."Well... I though you were alone." I immediately grab my sword that was under my bed and charge at him as I swing at him, but he dodges it and takes out his gun. He shots me on my side as he slams me to the floor."Weak as always Michael and what a lovely family you have more." I see Alexis getting up and see the fear in his eyes as I stand up and try to reach Ace again, but Ana pushes me away from him. I groan as I start to feel light headed and I start to struggle to breath. I try to breath until I fall to ground as ringing in my eyes block all the sound from around me.
Small hands grab my face as I see Alexis telling me something but I can't hear anything. Black spots start to fill my eyes and all the sudden I fall into total darkness.
Ana p.o.v
Ace leaves the room as Michael completely blackout on the floor. I check the gun shot on her side to see it wasn't heating like it would. I think fast until I remember I haven't seen her taking her medicine. I race to the drawer as I pull out a small vial and I rush back to her side to apply it to the metal pad. It start to go through and I see the wound healing very slow. Alexis screams and cries he try to get Michael to wake up, but I pull him away as Jacob and Ivan appear in the room. They immediately lift her up and place her on her bed as Jacob checked her out. "ANA GET HIM OUT OF HERE!" I nod to Ivan as I pick up Alexis and carry him out to calm him down.
Ivan p.o.v
I call a doctor immediately as Jacob try to stop the flood of the blood in the wound."I don't understand, she should be healing from now, why isn't she?" I shake my head as the doctor rushes in and takes over to examine Michael. We stand waiting as he patched her up and examine her more."It looks like she wasn't taking her medicine for about a month at most. That is why she wasn't healing property and she lost conscious out of nowhere, but with this bag, she should recover in a two hours." He pulls out a bag of the medicine and injects an IV directly to a vain on her arm.
I hope she has an explanation to all this.
