章 6: The Fight and the Helper?
I'm not exactly sure what possessed me to challenge him, but when I looked at him it made me boil with rage. He was one of the people that took my family from me, and I didn't have any remorse about the things I wanted to do to him.
"BAHBahHba! Little girl, how dare you threaten a superior power? You think those human bastards could have accomplished all this without me?!" He said motioning towards the now mostly ruble village.
Human? Isn't that what I am? My own kind did this?
"I can see what you're thinking little one, and if you were human I would smell it by now. You may look human but you smell of something entirely different. Based on the fact you don't know this you must have been pretty kept in the dark by your village."
"...."
"BaH, it Doesn't matter! Even though you're not human you sure do smell taster then one."
How did this borish thing get near our village? I had never seen it before, and now it was before me spouting utter nonsense. Or rather than it being nonsense it's probably true, and makes a lot of sense. Father always did say we were different, but it's not what needed to hear right now. All it meant was more danger for me and my siblings. That's what being different means in this world. It's why the village was a thing in the first place.
"So you helped do this to my home."
"Of course! It's such a waste for them to just be burnt like this though. If it wasn't for those damn humans I would have ate you all, and Cooked you right!"
That's when he came face to face with me with his one eye. Well, no eye now since I shot an arrow straight through his only one.
"AAAArrggggg!!"
"You talk too much."
"You damn dragon blood!!!"
"What did you say?!, say it again."
"....."
"Fine," I said as I took out my bow again and got ready to shoot another through his head."
"WAIT"
I smiled slightly, I knew it would work. In one of the books about mythical creatures, it states that ogres strongly value their life's. So I used that to my advantage.
"What do you want to know."
"Tell me about what you called me," I said coldly.
"You have dragon blood and that's all I know! The only reason I know is because I can smell it."
….. I got ready to shoot him again.
"Please! That's really all I know."
"GO. I pressed coldly. Before I take an arm too."
I then watched as he scurried away cursing me.
"That was some show. But I must admit that I'm kinda disappointed I didn't get to swoop in and save you."
I looked up not recognizing the voice to see a guy that looked maybe a little older than me. I haven't seen the world outside the barrier yet but, I know that everyone in our village was considered very good looking. Must be the dragon blood. But this guy was also very attractive. He was on par with the boys from my village. He had dark blue eyes that literally looked like they would steal your soul, and dark brown hair to contrast it. He was pretty tall from where I stood, and I'm 5'6. But I lived with my father who was also good looking so in short, looks don't faze me that much. But he did have an accent, I think it was a British accent? Once again something I got from the books.
"Who are you." I said even more coldly then to the orge.
"Woah, hold on, I just said I was about to help you, he said Cooley. Don't tell me you're going to take my arm because you didn't take his."
"Back off and don't tempt me."
I then decided not to bother with this person since it was important to get back to Em, and O. It was almost afternoon since I slept all day in the tree, and then came and read all night.
"Wait, luv, where are you going? Do you even know the way out of here? Or if I guess right you are from this now gone place."
I stopped and turned.
"...say one more word and you won't have such a sweet accent to speak anymore, since your tongue will be gone." He smiled. Actually smiled.
"You luv, are definitely from a different world. No one has ever talked to me that way you know. They are normally taken aback by my charm, or scared off their rockers of me. But it's nice you think my accent is swe…hey!"
By the time he finished talking I was already started towards the tree. I have no time for this.
"So where are we off to luv?"
"Ah! hey!, what are you doing?" I said as he popped right next to me and slipped his hand in mine.
I was confused because the only people I had ever done this with was my family. Never with an outsider. I probably looked stupid as I stared down at my hand and then looked up at him, as my hair fell from my face which revealed my eyes. Oh no, I thought.
"DON'T LOOk!" I screamed flustered.
"Hey! Why are you freaking out luv, is it your eyes? What, am I going to turn to stone if I look at them?"
"... no, but people are usually scared of them. You're not?"
"No, I don't know what rock you have been living under but where I'm from your eyes would be considered very unique and gorgeous. So let me look at them."
He then grabbed my chin and started to stare in my eyes.
His eyes were really beautiful. They more than shattered my soul when I looked at them closely. I then reached my hand up and put my hand on his cheek to look into them better.
"Uhh, luv what.. ar..are you doing?" He sounded like he was flustered. Maybe?
I'm not sure but this is how I saw father and mother interact with each other. They are the only couple I ever saw that were opposite genders to go off of, so maybe I'm doing it wrong?
"....your eyes are very different from what I'm used to, and when I look at them I feel like there shattering my soul." He just stared at me for a few seconds, before a deep red tint appeared on his face.
He then pulled away.
"What in the bloody...he..hell is wrong with you! Do you always do that with strangers you meet!"
"...you're the first stranger I have ever met. Sorry, I just thought your eyes were nice, isn't that also what you did to me? Why can't I do it to you? Anyway nice knowing you and bye now."
As I was turning her grabbed my arm,
"Wait, you're trying to leave since your village was destroyed right?, I will take you out."
"Why"
"...who knows how many other strangers you will do that to." He mumbled
"What did you say?"
"Nothing just let me take you, I know we just met and you have no reason to trust me but, I promise I mean you no harm. The only reason I am here is because there was a disruption and imbalance of magic reported here, so I just wanted to check it out."
"...I still don't trust you."
"Thats understandable. But I promise I don't have any foul intentions towards you."
"Promise."
"Promise luv."
"Fine, but just to let you know if your lying to me or betray me, I will do way worse things to you than I did to that orge." I said as I turned and continued walking. And I swear I saw him smirk.
"Yes of course you will luv, I have no doubt about it. But where are you going? The way through the barrier is in the other direction."
"Were going to get my babies."
"....what the bloody hell! What you mean your babies, you're like sixteen!"
"Fifteen"
"What?"
"I'm fifteen almost 16"
"Proving my point even more, and did you say babies, as in plural."
"Yup, one came when I was six and the other when I was ten."
"...."
He was quite the rest of the way to the tree, so I'm guessing I sent him into shock.
When we got to the tree I threw up an acorn which I knew would get Ember's attention. As soon as it got up there she came rushing down the tree and jumped into my arms, completely ignoring the guy next to me.
"WHAT TOOk YOU SO LONG!" She shouted "we already lost everyone else we can't lose you too! We won't make it without you.
A few seconds later, O joined in on the hug and demanded I picked him up. After a 5 minute hug….
"Hem, hem, I don't mean to interrupt the reunion with your kids but we need to get going."
Ember who seemed to just notice him now got into full defense mode.
"Who are you, and why were you with my birdie?"
"....you're….Birdie?"
"Yeah, got a problem."
Just then I couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Ember, it's ok he's going to help us get out over the barrier. I will keep an eye on him too of course so don't worry."
"Birdie, I will also put Sheldon and floppy on duty to watch him too." (These two are a bee and a rabbit.)
"Ok, oh I almost forgot." I said as I unzipped my bag to let a tiger-like cat jump out.
"Oh birdie,.....hmm, psstt,"
"What is it? What did he say?" She then looked up and smiled at me.
"He says he's taken a liking to you, and….. he's father's last gift to you. Except you were going to get him when you turned 16." She said softly.
"The guy in the back was unexpectedly quiet, probably realizing our actual relationship with each other now, so I decided to get the train moving.
"Anyway, I will call him Aine."
"And what's that guy's name." Octavius said pointing to the guy who I had no idea what his name was.
"He looks like a Wolfe"
"What, you're not even going to ask me for my real name miss Ember."
"I will!" Said O. "what's your name, I'm Octavius."
"... heh, hello little guy he said while bending down to O. "people who I like call me Daxton."
He then got up and walked over to me and whispered in my ear,
"People who I really like call me Dax."
Not knowing why he told me that I looked up and whispered into his ear.
"Why do I need to know that?"
He quickly backed up with a reddish tint and surprised face on. I was lost, all I have been doing is what he was doing to me, back to him. I decided not to worry about it and continue.
"Ok, Daxton, lead the way."
