" LIANA! LIANA! LIANA!!!"My voice echoed around the empty house. There was no sign of her. But she was there, no doubt, perhaps a few minutes prior. I ran to check the doors. They were open. Wide and ajar. I saw car tracks and footsteps on the ground of more than one people. Somebody had taken Liana away from her bed chamber while she was in no position to defend. Liana had been kidnapped under the most unfavourable conditions. And it was all because of Lucian. I was about to tear the whole house down in helplessness when suddenly I heard a familiar voice, " Oh my good luck, the Dragon Lord! "It was that Mystic Joe. He fell right at my feet in prostration. I could have kicked his teeth out. I was that mad but lucky that I didn't. If I had done so, he would not have been say the next sentence, " I just rushed back from the hospital. In my hurry, I had forgotten to lock Miss. Liana's gate. "He apologized with wide eye. " Liana? You know where she is? "" Of course I do. I rushe
" What? What are you even taking about? I know you? How do I even know you? "I yelled as the Whirlpool that she just created kept pulling me further and further down. ***Flashback to a few minutes before***I saw her accumulate the blue from all around. It was like she was the Pied Piper of the colour. It broke off from every surface, building up like an armour around her body. It forged into a sword at the end and with one swift blow she got rid of a bunch of those hungry dragon souls. She kept cutting through them as she kept moving in beside myself. " Hold onto my waist. We are going to jump out of this place! "I did obediently exactly like I was instructed. On the count of three, we leapt over their heads as she kept moving her blade, chopping off their hands. She moved like the water strider on air, as we crossed over the plain but the army of the undead souls remained steadfast on our tail. Our trail must have stretched not more than a few miles when suddenly we slipped
" She called me what? "I was in the middle of a heated conversation with an old woman. That Mystic Joe was my comrade in that mission. I was almost on the verge of winning the argument about Liana and my relationship status when the nurse came running and spoilt everything in a second. That old woman was insisting that Liana and I were a married couple. She said she could ' see things' and was never mistaken. She was asking me to reconcile with her, ask for her forgiveness. I was showing him how far from the truth she was when the nurse came yelling on top of her voice that, " Patient Liana is calling for her husband Draco, full name Drake Drakon. Please come with us at once. "I had no idea what was more absurd, Liana calling me her husband, or her coming around as fast or her calling me by that stupid name that weird Mystic Joe had scribbled for me on some paper. The old woman gave me that, " I told you so. I win" kind of dirty look as the nurse literally dragged me back inside
Damian was not sick at all. The little prince was just pretending. He had been demanding the audience of Liana over and over again. When nobody bothered to give him a proper answer, he planned to feign his own suffering to draw his father's attention. " What is it that our little Prince desires? We promise to scan the entire territory to fetch you that! "The Master lovingly patted the head of the little Prince who had gone on a hunger strike. " Mama... "He said, looking straight at Draco and then again turned back. The Master looked at Draco, who didn't know what he aught to say , then turned back at Damian. " Prince Damian, by Mama do you mean your human care giver whose name is Liana? "The Master should not have stepped on the wrong foot of that little dragon. Damian let a shrill roar out, emitting orange flames. As soon as the shelf in front caught fire, the other care givers rushed to take the blaze down. Little dragon prince rolled his eyes at his father this time, comp
" My baby! "I saw her almost jump out of her bed as she saw Damian.According to her lastest memory, I was her husband and a human and Damian was our son. We had to pretend it was real. Damian was doing a good job at that, perhaps. Or perhaps he wasn't even pretending. I sat on that chair beside her, she looked at me and smiled. " I hope you have been feeding him well? "Mystic Joe was busy making a face at me, perhaps trying to ask me to nod and say yes. Forced smiles never looked more pathetic. I could have never imagined what was happening to me at that moment. " I can't wait to go back home Draco. I have been telling them for days. They said you were busy with work and Damian and today was the only day they allowed children to visit. But I have waited enough. I feel exhausted sleeping here all day. I even need to finish studying for my semester. You know my exams are just around the corner! Gosh! Why is this hospital so nagging? "She got out of her bed and came sat in f
I carried her on my back outside. Just like that. I even made that weird ' vroom, vroom' noise with my lips, to mimic the sound of cars that humans make. I was pretending to sweep her off the ground and give her a piggy back ride to our so called favorite restaurant. I didn't even have any idea where that was because I had not been to any, except one where I stood outside during our last visit and Liana ordered some take-aways . It was working because I could hear her smile. I took a look at her car that needed a lot of effort to get started. "Let's take a cab.The car needs some fixing. I will do that in the tomorrow. I promise. "She looked concerned. " Draco, you loved cars. Why would you be neglecting ours? How had you been travelling? Was everything all right while I was gone Draco? Is there something you are hiding? "A lot. In fact I was hiding everything. " Liana, can you stop over worrying? Let's just go get some food. I am starving you know. And so must be Damian. "h
Liana and Draco looked like a happy average couple with a bubbly toddler, Damian. They had settled into a comfortable routine of everyday activities, which although monotonous, brought them joy and happiness. Here's a peek into their everyday life:At around 6:00 AM everyday ,the day began early for Liana and Draco. They are almost always woken up by the sound of Damian, who is already up and raring to go. Not that Draco would be technically 'sleeping'. But he had to pretend to his best. They, without fail, begin their day by cuddling with Damian and playing with him for a few minutes.At around,6:30 AM, after some playtime, Liana and Draco start preparing breakfast. Liana makes a pot of coffee while Draco cooks up some scrambled eggs and toast. Damian helps out by fetching ingredients and utensils from the cabinets.The tiny family of three, gather around the small dinning table and enjoy their breakfast together, chatting about the day ahead. Damian always tries to join in the con
The sound of a metal vase tumbling across the hall was enough to let anybody guess that Lucian was not in a good mood that day. He was seething with anger as he heard the news that his brother Draco was playing family with the human and his child in the human world. How could the Dragon King forsake his duty to their kind and consort with such a lowly creature when he did not do so for his dragon wife?As he paced back and forth in his lair, Lucian's mind raced with thoughts of betrayal and dishonor. How could his own brother put the needs of a human woman before their own kind? Had Draco forgotten the centuries of tradition and loyalty that bound them as dragons?Did he finally decide to show his nonchalance for a human which he refused to do even for Kiara? How dared he? That was not happening under Lucian's watch. Draco could not get whatever he wanted and whenever he desired. Lucian had always been fiercely loyal to his kind and their way of life, and he couldn't fathom why Dra
