Days passed by, and my mind just kept on wandering to what blue eyes had said. Could it truly be true? Could men really turn to dragons by day?
What the fuck am I thinking, that can never come true, it can never be real.
I have always been a practical person and that's not about to change now. The whole dragon/men story is beyond practical.
"Girl!" Britney yelled in my ear, bringing me out of my deep thinking.
"Girl, what is your problem?" I asked rubbing the inner side of my ear.
"My problem, is that I have been talking to you for 2 hours and you are not listening to me. You are not even responsive." She complains, frowning really hard.
She is right about something though, I wasn't responsive to what she was saying. And this is not because, my minds keep roaming to blue eyes or the dragon men story. Nope, I am not responsive..... because she's totally spitting trash about some hot guy she just met a moment ago, actually the hot guy walked passed her and now, she's on some dumb mission to find him.
Why would anyone want to listen to her, talk about something like that.
"You should have said all that, without trying to get me dead. And besides, you don't have to describe how the guy looks to me, I saw him when he walked passed you. I was right here" I face palmed myself hysterical.
She rolled her eyes dramatically, "I have to describe him over and over again, cause that guy... is so........ dreamy. Did you see his eyes, or his manly broad shoulders. I would give anything to lick those shoulders, let's not talk about his silky brown hair."
Wow, here she goes again. "Nope, I didn't see his awesome freaking muscle or his beautiful amazing eyes. I didn't see any of that." I exclaimed throwing my hands up in the air.
"Anastasia!" Britney yelled, pointing her finger at me wearily. "What" I huffed.
"Okay, tell me... what's on your mind. We both know that you are always responsive when I talk about hot guys. What's troubling you?" She stares at me with the *don't you dare lie to me* kind of look, both her hands on her waist.
I sighed staring at her for a while, contemplating if I should tell her about the blue eye guy and the whole dragon nonsenses but knowing who Britney is, i decided against it.
"Nope, it's nothing. And before you say anything else, I will tell you everything if whatever is going on with me becomes to much of a problem for me to handle." I said quickly, stopping her from probing further.
"You promise?" She asked keeping a straight face.
"Yes I promise." I drawled.
"Okay, well I'm off to go look for scrumptious hot looking guy. Wish me luck." She blows me a kiss and walks away, great... am on my own with my own dragon nonsense thought.
Well, I had better go to work.
********************************************
********************************************
Coming back from work, I took the bus home. I didn't want a repeat of the first day I met blue eyes.
But I am a very unlucky girl, really unlucky... I took the bus trying to avoid blue eye guy, only to meet him sitting in front of my house. Just great, life is so great. Everything is coming up Anastasia.
"Why! Are! You! On! My! Freaking! Porch!" I yelled angrily, eyeing him from his head to his toe. He stood up immediately, scratching the back of his head nervously.
"Please Anastasia, give me a chance to prove that my story is true. Just give me one chance." He pleaded giving me the puppy eyes. Gosh he is so cute, how could a cute guy like him be a mentally deranged person.
"Do you know what I think? I think it's best you seek the help of a physiatrists hospital. They would be very happy to cure you from your deranged talks." I smiled at him warmly.
"I know my story feels so untrue, and really not believable. But if you would just give me a chance to prove that I am not deranged, and that truly dragons are real... you will see for yourself that I am saying the truth."
I stared at him for some minutes, trying to make a decision...
"Fine, prove it." I shrugged.
"For that to happen, you would have to come with me."
I huffed, folding my hands below my boobs. "You said you were going to prove that your story is real, you didn't say I have to follow you. I don't even know who you are, for all I care.. you could be a deranged serial killer."
"I know I'm asking for too much, but you have to come with me... so I can show that there's indeed a specific group of men that turns to dragons by the day. There's no way I can show you that by night."
Well, I guess he is kind of right.
"So go home, and come back in your dragon self tomorrow by day time." I shrugged smiling halfway.
"Then I would be the new topic on news across the country, I would also be taken to a lab and then get experimented with needle and a lot of other science equipment. I don't think I would love to be in that situation." He shivered in fear, probably imagining the whole scenarios in his head.
I rolled my eyes, we both know that none of those would happen to him... Dragons!! Don't exist!! I am so tired of this back and forth banter with blue eyes boy, maybe is best I just end this with him once and for all... or I might end up joining him in his land of madness.
"So... if I follow you to wherever you are taking me, and you prove this dragon theory to me... would you leave me forever?"
"I doubt that you would want me to leave you. But fine, I will leave you be." He nods his head in agreement.
"Great! Give me a minute, so I can change out of my work uniform into something better." With that said, I left him standing on my porch while I proceeded into my house.
I had a bath, change of clothes and was ready to roll. Just for security reasons, I made my phone track me to wherever I'm going and then send the location to all my contacts... which is Britney, my boss, my co-worker, and three other classmates I happen to have their number.
"I am ready." I announced, locking my house door.
I actually live alone, I have no parent because I don't know them. I grew up in an orphanage, and the workers at the orphanage told me they found me on their door step. I got to meet Britney from when we were kids, because her mother worked in the orphanage. On my eighteen birthday, I had to leave the orphanage and start my life. Luckily for me things have been going so well, until blue eye boy showed up.
Blue eye boy took me a to a car he parked a little bit far from my home. Didn't know he has a car?
What do you expect, he needs a car to kidnap you quietly and fast.... My subconsciousness says.
Okay shut up, no one is kidnapping anyone... I rolled my eyes at my inner self, getting into the car. But I couldn't help but think, if blue eyes is really kidnapping me.
We didn't say a word to each other, instead he just drove quietly... and while in turn hummed to the song playing on the radio. I swear I don't know the song, but I feel so uneasy... and this is like the only thing that could keep from overthinking the whole situation.
I began to fear, when I noticed blue eyes is actually driving me to the outskirts of the city... like away from the city!
Now he just has to bury your body out there, and no one... I quote; no one will ever find it... Inner self says again.
"Shut the fuck up!" I yelled out.
"I wasn't saying anything." Blue eye replies.
"I wasn't talking to you." I groaned angrily, relaxing back into the chair. Fuck, I feel so frustrated.
"Uhm... okay." He answers staring at the back seat quickly. Ohh, so he thinks I am crazy? Just because we are the only ones in the car, doesn't mean I have to be talking to only him.
I sighed, "Where are we going to exactly, why are we driving out of the city." I wiped my hand on my gown, rigorously... staring at him with so much intensity.
"Uhm... because dragons would need more space to fly, and where can that happen... if not outside a city with much more space." He raises an eyebrow, I rolled my eyes.
I cannot wait for this dragon nonsense to be over.
We finally got to our destination, I was met with a really huge... gigantic gate. The gate opened all by itself, and blue eyes drove in.
From the gate to a really huge house, a really huge one.... Was covered by a lot of distance. A person can definitely not use his/her legs to cover it.
"Wow, the compound is really huge. This place could fit into a an estate." I commented, coming down from the car... staring at a huge field behind me.
"Well... dragons needs enough space to fly around. You know? Spread their wings." He shrugged.
"Great, spread their wings..." I replied. Note the sarcasm.
"Are you guys going to remain chatty outside, or will you both come in. The family is waiting." I heard a really familiar voice yell from the entrance of the really big mansion. I turned around, and my eyes met with Mrs Hardy.
I knew it, I knew she would be in on this. Dragons by day, and men by night, my foot!
If this is a prank, is definitely not working on me.
"Mrs Hardy?" I called more like in a questioning way. I guess I can now see how blue eyes here knows my name. "Hey Anastasia, you made it. Frankly, I thought you wouldn't come." She smiled at me hugging me from the side. I didn't hug her back."I didn't think I would meet you here." I said to her as she leads me towards the mansion."Well.... Here I am. Anyway, before we go in.... You should know you are kind of a celebrity around here." She whispered in my ear.I stared at her confuse, "What do you mean?""I'm just giving you a heads-up. Anyway, we shouldn't keep everyone waiting, they would all be feeling so impatient to meet you. Anastasia please meet the family." She grinned at me, as she opened the door of the mansion."Wow." Was the only thing that could come out of my lips. This is like a whole village in here. *The family* is so much more than a family. "Welcome Anastasia, I'm so glad you could make it." An elderly, okay not so elderly... but agile man came forward to shake
"You are definitely not crazy, and neither are you dreaming. What you are seeing right now, is all real." Mrs Hardy whispered in my ear, I am at loss for words. I don't know what to say."Don't you want to say hi, let's go closer." Mrs Hardy said smiling. She grabs my hand and lead me to the field. She stops in front of a really old dragon, like really old... I don't need anyone to tell me this particular dragon is great-gran. "I thought you would have fainted, the ones before you did faint even though they already knew about magic. And you that didn't believe a thing about magic, is still standing." He said weekly. "You can actually talk." I exclaimed in surprise."Yes of course, I'm still a human." He chuckled. If I am to understand dragon face, I can tell he is trying to smile or he is already smiling. "Yeah, I guess so." I agreed, staring at his skin with so much wonder, the scale... and how they fold is such an amazement to me."So... the others before me, knew they were witch
"So sorry sweetie." The woman, who is my aunt says softly... trying to hug me but I shifted politely."Uhm sorry." She pat my shoulder. "But, what about my dad?" I asked hoping to hear he is alive. "You would need to sit down for this." She breathes out, this doesn't make things look good. I sat down on a couch and she sat down opposite me. "You see my dear. When words got out that you were supposedly having the magic of Arkalis in you, a lot of bad witches and wizard, wanted that for theirselves. And to save you, your mum and dad had to take you far way. They got into an accident, and the whole family thought you also died with them. Up on till this date, we didn't know you have been staying in an orphanage... before leaving, your mother covered your scent, so none of course could use magic to find you. Your mother made it impossible for us to find you, so that no harm could come your way." I felt sad, all my life I have been wishing to reunite with my parents and now, I get to f
"So, our first stop is the cinema." Anastasia announced standing in front of a really big old building. I can certainly tell, that this building would not be surviving another five years."The cinema? I thought cinema aren't opened at night." I questioned walking over to her."Not this particular cinema. This cinema stays opened forty eight hours on the clock." She replied, already walking through the doors of the cinema. I rushed after her."So.... what kind of movie do you like? Horror, thriller, romance, tragedy?" She asked standing in front of the ticket booth."Romance. Romance comedy preferably." I answered standing beside her.She asked the man if they would be playing any kind of romance comedy movie for the tonight and he answered with a yes, but the movie is scheduled for 12 AM on the dot. Ana bought our tickets and gave me mine. "So before 12 I guess we should do other stuff for fun. Let's go." And without even checking if I was indeed following her, she was already walkin
"Surprise? We are traveling back in time and you didn't tell me." I yelled hitting his forehead not to hard."I did not tell you because it's a surprise. ouch my head." He groaned rubbing his forehead softly."Whatever." I rolled my eyes."Anyway, I need to get ready... I need to go say goodbye to my best friend, to my cat, and also my friends at work." I said excitedly."No no no no. You don't have to say goodbye to them, they won't even know you are gone. Yes, you are traveling back in time, but even though you spend a year in the past... it won't affect this current time. It would be like you were never gone." Christian's mum said smiling. "Wow, well I will miss them.... especially my best friend. I won't say anything to her, but can I at least spend some time with her, before I embark on this journey. She's like my life support, and I'm definitely going to miss her." I blinked my eyes sadly."Of course you can. Just be back by tomorrow evening. We have no time to waste." "I will
"Thank God your mum gave us this silver and gold coins, we wouldn't have had money to buy this horses." I said to Christian as he rode the horse with skill... for some reason he is really good at riding a horse.Christian and I was walking with no direction in mind, cause some don't even know where my ancestor wizard lives, thankfully... an old man riding a horse came to our rescue. He had two horse with him, so he sold us one. Then he showed us the direction to the nearest village."Yeah, or we would be trekking to this village right now." Christian replied, I couldn't help but gosh as his hands holds the reins of the horse. I could literally see his veins popping out. Okay what the fuck Anastasia, you are here on a mission... not stare at his tasty veins.ANASTASIA!!!!!!!...* my subconsciousness yells, literally slapping me on the face.Okay... okay, I'm back...* I replied my subconsciousness, averting my eyes from Christian bulging hand to the road ahead of us."You know is really
"I can't believe this, just a few hours here and we have already ended up in a cell. This is such a waste of time to our mission here." Christian grumbled kicking the iron bars."I wish we knew the horses were stolen horses, we would never have brought that horse from that man. Ugh... I wish we saw the stupid crown on the thigh of the horses." I sighed heavily, resting my head on the wall of the cell."There was no way we would have found out that the horses were stolen, even if we saw the crown... more of guessing the horse belongs to the king. The man looked really convincing." Christian replied, rubbing his face really tiredly. The horse we brought, with our own money... actually were stolen horses that belongs to the king of this village. And just for you to know how wicked the man we brought the horse from is, he couldn't even direct us to a different village... But instead, directed us to the same village he stole the horse from, putting I and Christian in trouble."Can't you
"This is not happening, this is not happening, this is not happening. It can't be happening." Christian recite over and over again, pacing around the throne room non stop.The princess already left a few minutes back, and now Christian has to make a decision, if he wants to get married to the princess or not.I won't say we have much of a choice in the matter, it's either he gets married to the princess or our heads gets cut off. I stood up from my chair and walked over to him, place my hands on both his shoulders, stopping him from circulating around the throne room one more time."You have to calm down." I said to him softly and he looked up at me. "How am I supposed to calm down, I'm getting married in two days!" He yells looking so annoyed and frightened by the whole situation. "I know, I know this is an unexpected hitch in our journey... not to talk about the fact that we have a wizard to find..." I removed my hands from his shoulder, then continued with my speech."But the pr
