the guardian

"Anything is fine." she shouted.

*hands ua smooshed sandwich*

Kylara eats the sandwich despite its condition. "Thank you Derik." she kisses him on the lips lingering for a moment or two.

"sorry its smushed my stone ahdn s are not gentle" *chuckles*

"That's okay Derik. The sandwich is fine." She finishes the sandwich. "I am afraid, what if I'm like this forever changing between human and dragon without much control over it?"

"msut be some way to conceal it"

"Dress like a ninja?"

"and what? walk around in public dressed like that?"

"Well, what else am I suppose to do? No amount of make-up can cover up the scales. My life as I know it is now over."

"wait to see if it turns back?"

"Let's face it I'm stuck like this." she puts her face into her hands and begins to cry.

"no u arnt well finda way out of this"

"Please don't leave me. I couldn't bear it if you did." she reached out and touched Derik's arm.

"i wont" *holds ur arm* "u want out of the chains?"

"I'm afraid, what if I change again? You wouldn't be safe."

"i can handle myself"

"Alright, if you are sure. Go ahead and let me out of these chains."

"i swallowed the key though so this'll ahve to do" *he grips the chains and breaks them with his ahnds*

"Thank you Derik. I need to lie down for awhile. I will come to your room when I am ready."

"ok" *goes to my room and looksa t his hands that are made of stone*

Kylara lies down on the bed and falls asleep. Three hours pass and she gets up and goes to Derik's room.

She knocked gently on the door before opening it. "Derik, are you awake?"

"yah come in"

Kylara walked into his room and sat in the chair in the corner of the room. "I want you, but, I don't want to hurt you."

"u couldnt" *walks beside u putting an arm around u*

"We'd have to wait until you were back to yourself first though."
