Alarik hangs his head in the aquamarine light.
I have hurt you, humiliated you. Just like i was taught to. We treat all humans like they 're beneath us.
I asked 'because your kind wanted our territory' .
We were told humans are vicious. That they coveied bombs and guns and killed for the fun of it.
Dragons are the ruthless ones. They are huge ,breath out fire ,shift at will and seem impossible to kill...Beauty said in anger..
You're right I should have known. The only humans i know I've been weak servants under the hels of dragon. I should have done more to change things...he said. There's still time...I told him.
A familiar anguished shadow falls over Alarik. He shakes his head. There's no time as you think...
I want to ask Alarik what he means but I'm cut of as we reach another passageway. I walk through it and come into a wide chasm that opens up to the clear night sky. We did it,now we can.....
Beauty is unable to finish her sentence an intense surge of dizziness makes her sink into the ground.
Beauty what's wrong.....Alarik asked.
I feel dizzy....I answered. Everything is spinning. Alarik presses his hand to her cheek his brows furrowed in worry. You're freezing. Thanks to that new power of yours. You are not used to it and your body's drained from the effort. Beauty shudders. Alarik ease himself down next to Beauty,tugging her close.
Come here..
What are you.....I trailed.
Don't talk....he ordered.
He threads his arm around my waist. Flushing i ease myself down within his arms. For the first time Beauty is close enough to inhale his heady scent. A scent of smoke and leather ,crisp and deep all at the same time. I won't lie to you it's going to be a long night but I'll try to make it bearable for you....He said gently pulling me to his body,to his warmth. I feel my mark hum quietly between me. But more than that i feel safe, a feeling i have bearly known a day in my life.
Alarik said 'close your eyes Beauty I'm right here,'
The only person that has ever taken care of me is me. That wouldn't change. I thought. I gently untangle myself frkm him. Scoothing my body to the other side of the cave. Alarik sighs quietly but he doesn't push me.
I squeeze my eyes shut and curl up into a ball whirling myself to sleep despite my chill.
Is this Normal....feel ing this cold after a power like that awakening.....she asked.
No one has ever done anything like that it's not normal.
Really?
