Chapter 10 - Chapter 10

Michael p.o.v

Soon we finished all the paperwork, Ivan leaves with Ana and Axel's while I drive to the council base for the meeting. Once I get there, I head into my room and change into a suit that was full black with a black mask as well. I never know why I have this suit, the things is that I don't remember anything that happen after the meeting. They always send me out on a mission, but they erase my memories because they think I will be weak to continue. I walk out of my room and head to the main hall where Adam was wait. "What is the meeting about?" He signal to follow him and I do as we walk through a hallway that leads to the main hallway."All I know it is about Axel's life.....and I think there is a mission." He looks at me consider as I nod and he open the doors to reveal the other member of the council. Maria of The Political, Alex of The Military, Caleb of The Court of Justice and Heather of The Nation Council. Adam send me a small nod as he take his place beside Alex since he was The Leaders. Adam may know me, but he never show weakness when is come into this place and he treats me like everyone else. I take my seat tas they all sit down as well."Is is true that you adopted a child Michael that was a bounty for hunters?" Maria is always the first to ask a question and always bothers me what kind she asks."Yes I did. I saw something in him and remind me of myself so I took in under my wing." She nods and Heather take the spotlight."It was kind of you to do that Michael, but have you think through of what you will have to for Alexis. He need education just like yours as well and trained like you." Heather is a woman that I admire a lot and shows kindness unlike the others. A guard puts a file on my desk as I open it to see list of checks that were send to different places."This is checks that were send to places that Alexis will be education. We will pay for everythjng that he needs in order to meet our demands." I nod as a new file is placed on the desk."In there will be mission that you and your team will be send to the front lines of the war. Commander Andrew will be waiting for you and you will stay there for about two months." I nod as a guard comes out with a black box and Caleb stands up. "We have many more things to discuss, but you know that we need for you to be relaxed and listen to everything we ask. Don't worry about anything..... everything is alright." Caleb take out a small needle gun with a yellow substance in it as he walk up to me and injects it on my neck. I squeeze my eyes as I feel a small prick on my neck and it's gone. Caleb removes it and walks away as I can feel the substance taking over. I try to pushes it away as I fall to my knees from the pain I was getting in my head. Someone walk up to me as they hold my head with their hands."Michael, don't fight it....let it go and relax." I look at Adam as I continue to hold back into I relax and let it go as my memories fades and I completely black out.

Adam p.o.v

Michael fight it until I see she relaxes and let's go before she completely blacks out. She always fight it since she want to know what she does, but it will kill her if she ever found out what she does. Two guards pick her up as one comes up and throws water to her face making her jump and immediately killing the two guards. Before she could kill the one that threw the water, I step in front of her and she stops. "Stand down 16." Alex walk up to her and hands her three files which she take and goes over it."This mens stole from the military base and they need to be taken down. Kill them and everyone that stand in your path. If someone know about it.....get rid of them or make them stay silent." Michael nods and leads quickly to follow the order. Heather pats my shoulder as we head to a balcony and a servant brings us some scotch. I take the glass and stare at the stars as I think of Michael's side job. I she ever found out what she does.....she would kill herself and Ivan would kill me as well.

"Don't worry, Michael will never find out and she won't remember anything." I nod as I take a sip of the scotch."My worries is that if she does something that she felt she has done....it will drive her crazy ans she would try to find out why." Heather nods as she takes out a paper with the list of names that Michael has killed."This list was given to a human police by someone and now they believe it is a dragon doing this job. They haven't suspected Michael yet, but if she makes a mistake....they will." I sign as I fold the paper and put into my pocket. I just hope nothing goes wrong with Michael's mission.

Ivan p.o.v

I sat on the couch as Ana chased Alexis around while Daniel and Axel stand by the window waiting for Michael. The door opens and we see Adam walk in and taking off his coat."Where is Michael?" Daniel beats me to the question as Adam stand still."She is in a meeting with the council. It looks like it will take a while." He pours himself a scotch and jugs it down as we wait in the living room.

two hours later

I sign as check my watch to see it was getting late and Michael has not returned. Ana turn on the TV to watch something until last minute, the news came on.

"It just came in that three families were found dead today and the three men in the families were involved with something that got them killed. Sources came in about a list that the murder had killed in the pass and many suspect that it may be a dragon. This person has been haunting our town for at least a year now and so far no eye witness or suspects were brought out. We think to believe this person is dangerous and if you suspect of someone please notified the poilce for everyone's safety as the person tense to kill the while family including children."

Adam turn it off and I look at him with a serious look. He was a bit pale as he stand up and pour himself another drink."Adam...ahat is going on? WHERE IS MICHAEL?" The door open to reveal Michael with a backpack and looked confused."Did someone said my name?" We head small footsteps as Alexis come running downstairs and up to michael."MOTHER YOU ARE BACK!" Michael picks him up and looked at us confused."Father is everything alright?" I nod as I sit back down and she heads upstairs with ana and Daniel right behind her. I hope they can get something out of her.

Michael p.o.v

Once I get into the room, I put my bag down and strat to rock Alexis in my arms. he get comfortable and as the minutes goes by, he slowly start to fall asleep. After he falled asleep, Ana take him from my arms and tugs him in his bed while Daniel pulled me far away from them."Love, are you okay? We were worried since it was getting late." I nod as I pour myself a scotch."I am fine like I said...the meeting was a bit longer and that is all." I go to take a sip, but Ana knock is off my hand and it shatters on the ground. I start to get angry as she step in front of me."Something is wrong about you? you are acting too friendly then normally." I push pass her as I grab my leather jacket on the way out and she is right behind me.

"If I am too friendly to you then fine. punch me or push me so you can feel better?" I hold Ana from the her shirt as she take out a knife cutting the tip off from the shirt and punches me. I stumble back to the ledge of the staircase as it completely breaks and I fall down to the ground. Black spots filled my vision as I slowly stand up hold on and as I feel its in pain. Daniel helps me up as Ana stand there looking shocked and sorry that I look away and walk out of the house. I get in the car that I borrowed as Daniel gets into the passenger seat and I take off before my father finds out.

I drive silently as I arrive at a club since I need something to drink. I get off and Daniel follow me slowly as we ended and the while place is crowded. We sit on a booth as I signal the bartender to come to us."Can I get the whole bottle of vodka for me and my friend here, please?" The bartender nods and leaves to get our order as Daniel looks around nervously."You have to relax and blend in unless you will bring attention to yourself." Daniel nods as the bartender comes back with our order. I open the bottle and pour us some vodka and Daniel looks at it weird. He take his cup and taste it as he make a weird face before he puts it down."That is too strong for me." I signal the bartender and he walks to us."Give my friend here a iced scotch." He nods and leaves to get the order as I take Daniel's drink and jug it down.

"How can you drink that? that is way too strong." I smile as I look around to see people having fun."I have been on mission and most of them involves me drink or getting drunk so I have to get used to the drink in order to blend in." He nods slowly as the bartender brings his drink and place a scotch on front of me as well."Whoa I didn't order this." The bartender move a bit and smile."It was from that young lady." I look to where the lady was and she is pretty. She look to be around my age, silver hair, green eyes and a bit short then me."Alright, thank you." He nods and leaves as I take a sip of the drink and wink at the girl who smiles and blushes. I look at Daniel and I can see he was jealous."I am all yours, but when we are here... you don't exist around here so you are a stranger." He sighs as I continue to drink until I can feel I was getting a little drunk.

Daniel p.o.v

when Michael say I am all hers...I knew it won't be for that long. If I could tell her what is going on with me...she would try to help me, but I don't think I need saving at all. I see she is getting a bit drunk as the young lady approach us at our booth."Mind if I join you?" Michael looks at her and smirks."Any time you want." The girl smiles shy as she goes to sit down beside Michael, but Michael make her sit on her lap. I look away as Michael grabbed my attention. "You can leave if you want." I nod as I get up and leave the club and get into the car. I sigh as I lean back and try to sleep until I see a file on the back seat. I get it and look through it to see a new mission that Michael will be going with her team. I scan through it until I see the location that she will be going. I close the file and look for her phone which I find as I dial in a number.

The phone rings for a bit until someone answers."Hello, what do you want." I see people pass by and I put my head down so they would see me. After they left I answer the guy."Hello, can I speak with Marcus Blackwood." The guy smirk through the phone and chuckles."Who is asking?" I sigh since it has been a while and many don't know about me at all."Daniel Blackwood, brother of Marcus and I just hope he doesn't need to know about this conversation." I can hear the phone been passed around as I wait for a few minutes.

"Well well well, I has been a while brother. I got to say I am surprised to hear your voice after 20 years."

I smile at the voice of Marcus and sigh. I am from a family of Royal of the Dragon clan. My father was a prince and had three children, me, Marcus and our young sister Amanda. We were separated when we were little since the war was destroying everything. My brother was chosen to be king for the Dragon Clan since he is a Golden Dragon. He is a rare kind in a billion of us and he is the rightful ruler of all of us. Many people don't know about us and many believe we are all a myth.

"hey, I know.....it has been a a while. I was calling about Michael's situation." My brother sighs as I hear him close a door.

"I never expected for you to bring it up....you know you still have time so I don't think I should meet her yet until you say so." I shake my head in disagreement."No, I think it is time. Michael and her team are going on a mission that is close to the territory. My guess is that they are fighting your army so I want you to take Michael out of there and get to know her. Don't kidnapped her during daylight but nighttime." My brother stays listen and I continue to talk." I know you don't like this.....but I think it is time. I only have about one year with three months before I am gone and I need to make sure she knows someone that she can go to."

The line stays silent for a few seconds before he sighs."Okay, I will have the team ready to get her when we are notified about her presences at the field. I just want to make it clear that you know we will connect and it will be strange for her since she is already with you. Just be ready for the confusion." I look at the club and I see Michael turning into a corner with the lady at the booth."Okay, let me call you later, I have to do something that will take a while. I will send you more information about her, bye." I hang up quickly as I get off the car and lock it. I turn to the corner to see Michael was no where to be seen. I open up my vision and I see two figure up a head that were close to a lake. I follow the trail until I can hear them laughing. I look from behind a tree and see Michael in the floor and the lady on tip of her as she was kissing her and unbuttoned her shirt. Michael rips the girls shirt as she grips her from her waist and kissed her neck. The girl slowly takes off Michael's shirt and I noticed her mark was going to get exposed that I quickly come out and pull her away."Whoa Michael, what are you going?" The lady looks shocked as she covered herself while Michael stand up."Having some quiet time before you interrupted." She goes to walk back tot he girl, but I grab her arm and pull her to me."You have your fiance and your son waiting back at home. We are leaving now!" She groans as I pick up her jacket and cover her while she took off her shirt and toss it to the girl. The girl frowns as she leaves us quickly and Michael punches my shoulder."You didn't let me have fun at all." She stumbles as bit as I help her and drag her to the car. I get her to the passenger seat and buckle her in as I get into the driver seat and drive off quickly.

Once we got home, I turn off the car and sat there as Michael sudden looks at me."I know about you...you are dying." She looks serious before she starts to laugh. I take a deep breath as I get off and help her off the car."I AM JOKING! YOU TAKE THINGS TOO SERIOUS!" She laughs hard as we walk back to the house and out of no where, Axel comes out and take Michael flying to the air very high. I watch them as he take her very high into the air before falling down and spining until he flies straight into the forest. I run fast to catch up and I see Michael puking into a bush.

Axel sighs as he walks to me and pats my shoulder."She need to get all of that out and I know Ana is going to smell that she was with someone." I nod as Michael stand up and cleans off her mouth."What was that for? Now I am feeling sick." Michael stumbles into my arms as she lays her head on my chest. I pick her up in my arms and we walk back to the house quietly as we enter the house. We walk upstairs into her room to see Ana siting in a chair while Alexis was sound asleep. Axel knocks on the doorway and Ana wakes up quickly to see Michael in my arms."Omg, you guys are back. what is wrong with her?"

I walk to her bed as I lay her down and start to take off her shoes, her jacket and pants since she was wearing some short under them."She got drunk....and had company." Ana slowly nods as she rubs Michael's cheeks and covers her with a blanket."That is not the first time she does this... she had been with other people in the pass and it does hurt me." I see tears run down her face as I wipe them and give her a hug. She sniff a bit as she pulls away and sighs."But I care about her and she always tries to make up to me since she remembers." I nod and leave the room so they can get some rest. I reach outside of the house and I see Axel with his arms crossed as I realized he knew what I did."Okay fine....I called Marcus! There I said it...I don't have that much time Axel and you know that." He sighs as I sit down on the grass."I want them to meet.....even if it hurts me deeply they must meet so I know that I am leaving Michael in good hands. You will be able to go back home and protect Michael for me.....at least you will be rid of me."

Axel sits down beside me as he pats my shoulder."I wasn't happy when your father separate me from my family to take care of you, but it made me think and learn who I am. I will stay with you until you fall and then I will be able to go home. Will you tell Michael that you are sick." I think about it as I nod."When she come to get my help....I will tell her about me and her future as well. I just don't want to get attached to her because it will hurt me." Axel nods as he stands up."I will pay a visit to Marcus, but in the meantime.....I found a place where we can lay low and get you back in the crystal. it's time to go." I nod as I stand up and look at Michael's window.

This is the last time I will see her until she come for and I don't know when she will come for me. I cross my arms as Axel wraps his arms around mine and lift us off the ground. He takes off into the sky as we start to fly off into the dark of night.

Marcus p.o.v

I get off the phone with Daniel as I stay in silent from what he told me. Michael is someone that is strong and intelligent...I don't know if I am ready to meet her. I walk out of the office with two guards behind me as I make my way to the lab, people bow to me as we pass through the hallways. I never understand why I was chosen to be a Golden Dragon since Daniel could be an excellent leader and I can't save my own brother's life since he is dying.

I walk into the lab to see Mark working on some liquids. He is the scientist/doctor of a team that is under my command. He is a blue dragon, has silver hair, grey eye and a very shy personality. He has some tough time been able to talk with other, but his boyfriend has been able to help with that."Mark, where is everyone?" He jumps as the tubes fall from his hands as he looked at me."Oh gosh....your majesty...Marcus...my lord." He tried to find his words as the team came in a hurry and Joshua rushes to Mark. Joshua is the tech guy and muscle of the team as well. He is a blue dragon with brown hair and hazel eyes. He is 18 just like Mark and he is the emotional support for Mark.

"Marcus, you have to stop scaring Mark like that. You know he isn't us to you yet." I look at Jane as I nod. Jane is the leader of the team while in missions. She is a red dragon and has black hair with light red eye as she is 17yrs old and the youngest of the team. Stand next to her was her brother Zack who is a red dragon as well, black hair and darker red eye and he is 19 yrs, the oldest of the team." I know Jane, I am sorry Mark." I look at Mark as he calmed down and nodded."it's okay, I am fine." Joshua hugs him for support as I walk to the computer and portrait a hologram of Michael's file that I have from her.

"I just got information that Michael will be close to our territory fight the war with her team....and Daniel requested that we pull her out of there." Jane thinks while Zach speaks up first."Are you sure? even if we do, we are capturing her and her team may think we are going to do some harm to her. There is no way we can get her in the field unless she is out celebrating with the team or out to gather her thoughts." Jake is also the brains since he thinks through everything. "Joshua I want you to get access to all camera in the place she will be at. From store, roads, every single camera. We need to know her every move she does." Joshua nod and I look at Jane. "Send out patrols to make a map of the area where our troops are located so we can see where she could placed at." Jane nods as she leave with her brother right behind her and Joshua walk to his computer to start to hack.

I look at the hologram of Michael as I stare at her. Am I really ready to meet her?
