Chapter 15 A Peacefull night.
The next week went by so fast that it semed like a dream.It was now Saterday the big day.That morning wen I went doun stares Zeth gave me an evile grin,Karn gave me sweete smile and Jesse gave me a thums up.I rolled my eyes and sat down at the table.Hender came in from the front door and gave a sweet smile when he saw me.He then came over and joined us at the table.
"So."Jesse started."Wear do you two plan on going tonight?"
"A restrant in town."Hender said as if it wer nothing."And then to the roller ring."
"The roller ring?"I asced suprised."That's in the other side of town."
"I know, but it's a ten minute flight."
"Oh."
The rest of the day went by verry quiet and piece full.Too quiet and peacefull.Hender spent most of his time in his room.I only spoke when nesicery.Then,before you know annything it was about eight oclock.I was in my room looking for somehting to wear wen I herd a knock on the door.
"Come in!"I said turning from my dresser to see Zeth poke his head in.
"Hi."He said dryly."I got a pacage for you from Hender."
"Oh.Okay.Thanks."He then left the package on the bed and left.I went over and opened the box.Inside was a seagreen dress with a lightblue scale desine around the neck,wrists,waste,and the him.Along with them was a pair of earings that wer gold wire and a purpleish stone in the midle.They also had a matching neckes.I desided to wear them to my date.
I spent the next hour geting ready, and when I finaly went down stairs I felt as if I was going to faint.I walked into the living room and saw Zeth,Karn, and Jesse all talking to Hender.
"Don't worry."Karn said laghing."You look fine."
"Yea."Zeth agreed."Acept the fact that you look like your about to throw up."
"It will be alright Hender."Jesse encouraged."You look so hansome.If I was a chikidy like Marrion I would....."
"I'm a 'Chikidy'?"I asked interupting.Three heads stared at me and I saw Hender tense just before he turned tward me.
Hender was wearing a white blouse with black dress pants and a tie.His seafoam hair was tied back loosely in a sea green ribin.He was verry handsome.
I giggled at the suprise on Henders face and I walked doun the staires and he walked tward me.
"You are so beautifull."He said taking my hand."Kareth me' shah nohl."
"Tanketh mel Hender.Kah me shi hundersom."He smiled as I said that he was verry handsome in the dragon language.
"You look like a princes."Jesse said in his charming british acsent.
"No,not a princes."Karn said smileing."A godess."
"She is as bright as an angel in the sky surounded by soft white clouds."Zeth said with an angelic smile.We all stared at him suprised that he would say something like that.
"Zeth."Hender said."I had no idea that you could be so poetic."
"We all have our defaults."Zeth retuned snydly.
"Yea what ever.Hender you ready to go?"I said roling my eyes.
"I better be."He asnwerd in a high pitched voice."I spent the las hour getting ready."
Hender and I left the house but it felt weard being back in the city after spending three weeks in the woods.Ther wer no "Mising"posters of me, so I take it they all forgot.
Hender took me to a resturant called "Tiffanys." It was a verry fancy,verry expencive resturaunt.My friend,Kalynda's,father workes ther.
"Ah Marrion!"Kalynda's father, Mr.Joanes,said happily."This must be Hender your new boyfreind.Your mother imformed me."
"Really?"I asked confused.Hender.what's goinng on?
I went to your house erlyer today and I convinced her to tell everyone that you wer staying with me and that I was your boy freind.
Oh.Okay.
"Yes.This is Hender."I said going along with it.
"Nice to meet you."Hender said giving a bow.
We had a verry nice dinner and then Hender suprised me again by taking me to a movie.It whas a movie about a boy and a girl and how they fell in love.It would have been verry good if the people infront of us would have stoped talking.
"Excuse me."Hender said tapping the shoulder of one of them."Could you pleas lower your voices?We want to watch the movie."
"Hu?"Said the man."Piss off.And take your prostitute with you."
"What?"Hender said in a low,angry,voice."What did you call her?"
"You herd me.No girl would go out with you without you paying them."
"Listen bub.You can say what ever crap you want about me,but don't talk s**t about my girl.Or I'll beat the crap out of you."
"Is that a warning?"
"It's a promis."
"Fine then ,lets go out side."
We all went out side Hender and the boy standing oposit eatchother.A croud had gatherd and wer waiting for them to start fighting.
"Hender."I said woried."You don't have to do this."
"Marrion."Hender said with a smile."If I back out I will lose all of my pride.First looseing to Tison and then retreating.I would never come out of my room."Hender then turned back to his oponent."Let's go."He said in a low voice.The man then lunged and Hender doged easaly with one step.Hender then swung amazingly fast and hit the guy in the jaw so hard that he spun and landed on the groung unconsious.The croud was amased that Hender won with only one hit,and so was the guy's palls.
"Get him!"Yelld one of them pulling out a knife.Within minutes Hender was surounded by twenty armed thugs,but didn't seem a bit woried.
"This should be fun."Hender said with an evile grin.The men leaped at him all at once,but the rest was a blur it happened so fast.
Hender steped to the right elbowing one and punching another.He then jumped kicking two and back handed a nother.It hapend like that and within three minutes all the men wer on the ground moaning and Hender was standing up.
"What wimps."Hender said coming to me."To the roler ring?"
"Sure."I said a little shocked.
We found a baren place were Hender transformed and we took fight.Within a few minutes we wer so high up that no one would be able to see us.
"Hender?"
"Yes?"
"Back at the theater did you go Jurane?"
"Yea."
"Why?"
"Because they called you a prostitute."
"Well that was very nice of you to justify them."
We landed behind the roller ring. We walked in and saw that the place was verry buisy.Hender bought me some roller blades and used magic to make his shoes into sea green roller blades. We went out onto the ring and started to skate. I tripped over my dress and Hender helped me over to the side.
"Hear."He said giving me a shirt and pare of pans to change into. I went to the restroom and changed.Wen I came back out I saw every one out in the middle watching some thing. I went out to see, when Hender Jumped over the crowd and rolled toward me.
"What the hek?"I asked laughing.
"Don't blame me."Hender said stopping."They all desired to watch me."
We stayed at the ring a little longer then Hender took me to a concert. The band was called “Celtic Rednecks”. They played a mixture of Celtic and country music. They were really good. Hender actually asked me to dance to a slow Celtic song. I danced with him and when the concert was over I was totally wiped out. We walked back to the woods and then to the house. We opened the doors to find a dark empty room. I took off my earrings while Hender sat down on to the coutch.I went over and sat next to him laying my head on his shoulder. Hender put his arm around me and then I was asleep in his arms sharing his dreams of the past.
Chapter 16 A Sister of a Devil
I woke up the next day to the smell of backon cooking.I looked up and saw Hender sleaping, still holding me.I rememberd falling asleep in his arms after the date.Wate a minute If Hender's here,then who's cooking?
"He's cute wen hes sleaping isn't he?"I turned around to see Zeth and Karn looking at us.
"How was the date?"Karn asked.
"Good."I replied."Verry verry good."
"I see he got you to lay down with him.That perver..."Zeth started but was kut short wen a pillow flew into his face.
"You have a dirty mind Zeth."Hender said sitting up."Do I smell backon?"
"You sur do!"We looked arond Karn and Zeth to see Jesse in the kitchen cooking.
"You let Jesse cook?"Hener growned.
"Yea.Why?"Zeth asked.
"He's a horble cook.I would rater eat something made by a blind mongoos."
"Thats bloody rubish."Jesse said folding his arms."I can cook better than anny blind mango."
"It's mongoos Jesse."
"Same thing."
"Uh Jesse?"I said."your on fire."
"What?"Jesse then looked at his arm to see that his sleave was on fire.He started to wave and pat the arm untill the fire was out and he was left blowing on his burn.We all laghed at that but we wer all interupted by a knock on the door.
"I wonder who that could be out here in the forest."Hender said standing up and going to the boor.He opened it a little bit before it was pushed open and a girl walked in looking angry.
"Zeth!"The girl said walking tward Zeth.She rased a fist to hit him when Hender cought her wrist, twisted it behind her, and tacled her to the ground.
"What do you want?!"Hender ordered pissed as hell."Answer me!"
"Get off of me you over-grown lizzard!"She sneard trying to fight him off."Get off or my father will burn you alive."
"Hender."Zeth said pulting his hand on Hender's souldur."Trust me.She Meens it.Get off."Hender hesitated but got up.The girl sat up and rubed her arm wear it was bent.
"What are you doing here Shincingume?"Zeth asked.He looked angry and redy to pick a fight.
"You know why Zeth.To take you home."
"I'm not going back."
"Hold on a minute."Hender interupted ."Okay now you can't just come barging into my house without me knowing who you are.Explane."
"Hender."Zeth said motaning to the girl."Everyone.This is Shincengume,my sister."
"Sister?" We all asked in shock.
"Since when did you have a sister?"Hender asked.
"We don't get allong."Zeth explaned."We mostly avoid eatchother,but we worked together to runaway from our father."
"So your a demon?" Jesse asked looking at the girl scepteckly.
"Yea."She answerd crossing her armes."Got a problem with that?"
"No,we don't."Hender said with a cold glare at the girl that made me shiver."I just want to know why you came barging in hear,how you knew Zeth was here, and how you knew that I was a dragon."
"What makes you think I knew about you being a dragon?"She said with a hint of flame in her look.
"You called me an over-grown lizzard."Hender replied dryly
"Oh yea.Sorry.Well my entire family is able to find eatch other no matter what. Thats how I knew he was hear.I could tell by your eyes, hair, voice, and strenght that you are a dragon."
"And the reson why you came hear?"Hender pressed.
"I came to take Zeth home,Dad needs to have a talk with him."
"Lucifer has come here before,if he needs to talk to his son he will have to do so hear."
"He won't be too happy to hear that."Shincengume said with somewhat nervous.
"I bet he wont, but Zeth rannaway and is now a part of this family."
"Zeth will allways be part of my family."
"Why must Lucifer speek to him?"
"He's woried about his health and safety."
"If he was so woried about Zeth then why didn't he get him out of that cirque wear he was pult in a cage?"
"Because he said it was his punishment for running away."
"I will not let him go back." Hender said that line with sutch strictness that she winced.
"I will not go back."Zeth entered the conversation."I will not go back to Hell."
"Zeth watch your language!"Hender hissed making Zeth jump.
"Sorry."Zeth said lowering his gaze.
"Thats why he needs to come back."Shincengume said so fiersely that it even made Hender jump."He has been near you for too long. He'll forget that he's a demon."
"I can never forget that I'm a demon."Zeth said comly yet full of emotion."It's the reson I can never make friends with normal people.It's the reson that wen I try to go to normal school that kids avoid me. It's the reson my life sucks!" Zeth yelled. He glared at the girl then he stormed up stares.
"God he is as selfish as ever." Shincengume said snobishly.
"Don't you dare!"Hender yelled making the girl stand up."Don't you dare talk about him like that! He has risked his life for manny others and still he gets no respect! He is just a child and he has been thrugh torchures! Don't you dare call him selfish!'
"And what do you know about torture?!"Shincengume yelled back with fire in her voice."I know that Zeth has been hurt and that he is a child. But he can't just stay here!"
"And why not?!"
"Because he dosn't belong! We both hate our father but Zeth needs to go back home! That way he would be able to talk to his father and heal his wounds!"
"His memories of his past hurt him! I won't let him go back!"
"How do you know?! How do you know how mutch the past can hurt you?! You probobly have never faced annything that could make a child weep and cry and hurt!"
"Shut up!" Hender yelled making the entire house shake and parts of the sieling crumble."Shut up! Don't you dare say that I have never faced things like that! I have seen and gon thrugh more hardships than your father has made! I have gon thrugh things that can make a person go insane! I have gon thrugh so mutch that I have wished for death! So don't you dare say that I have never seen hardships!"
Everything went quiet and Hender was clearly on the verge of tears. Shincengumey looked verry surprised and so did everyone else.Hender glared at her for what seemed like hours,then he walked over to the door and opened it then faced the girl.
"Get out!"He orderd,"Get out of my house!"
"Sir please...."She started but closed her mouth when Hender slamed the door shut.
"Listen you," Hender hissed in her face."I will let you stay one night.And if I happen to cool down by morning you might get some thing for breakfast.But food is scarse, and you have goten me into a bad mood so dont expect anny dinner. When your ready for bed Jesse will show you to your room. Now if you'll excuse me there is a demon up stares ,whom you have alsow angered, that I would like to calm down before he burns this house to ash." With that Hender did a mockingly low bow then joged up stares. We all watched in silence for a few minets then Shincengumey colapsed onto the floor.
"I..."She said quietly ,her voice shakeing." I...I had no idea. H...his heart, You can tell it hurts."
"What do you mean?" Karn asked
"I mean that.....well he....I dont know." She looked realy confused."He's just so broken.So hurt. You can see it in his eyes."
Hender came back down stares and went strait into the kitchen then came back out with water and some sort of small cackes.He then went back up stares without even looking at us.
After a few minets I stood up and followed him.I went to Zeth's room and I gentaly knocked on the door. The door opened almost emedietly and Hender looked at me then around the corners,then finaly back to me.
"Do you need something Marrion?" he asked,his voice raspy.
"I came to see if Zeth is okay." and him to but I didn't tell him.But, unfortunetly, I forgot that I didn't have to.
"Zeth is doing beter but is still working off some steem." And I am doing alot better to.
s**t! I forgot that he can read minds! Hender choked and started laghing, and I was so embarest by the fackt that I forgot wen thinking that, that I couldn't healp but laugh to. Before we knew annything we wer both laughing so hard that we couldn't breath.
Jesse and Karn came up stares to see the comotion and Zeth poked his head up from behind Hender.
"What's so funny?" Karn asked with a confused grinn on his face.
"You see I thought..."I started but couldn't finish because I burst out laughing even harder.I cant tell them. It is way to embaresing! I thought.
Lets just call it a Vampragon mistake Hender sent me telipathicly
s**t I forgot again! Hender then burst out laughing so hard that he lost air and fell to the ground and just lay ther trying,unsecsesfully,to stop laughing.And I did the same.
After our little fit was over we all went into Zeth's room, wich was almost completly black.It kinda reminded me of an ocult.
"So how are you fealing?"I asked Zeth,still wiping tears from my face.
"Oh I'm fine now that I got to see you and Hender make total fools out of your selves."He responded with a smirk.
"Ha! You have no idea." I responded making Hender burst out laghing again.He held his hand over his mouth and trighed to toan it down, but was unsecsesfull.
"Well you seem to be doing beter after that surprising out berst down stares."Jesse said with a look of releaf.Hender stoped laughing. I looked over to him and he had his hand on his chin and looked like he was brooding on something.
"Hender?"I asked woried.
"Yes?"He asked with a forced smile.
"Are you allright?"
"Oh yes I was just sidetraked.Um,I think it's my turn to cook right? You ready for dinner?"
"Yes!!"We all answerd together. We all then stood up and went down stares.
When we enterd the living room we saw Shincengume siting on the coutch doing nothing.Hender looked at her a long time and she looked at him. Hender then smiled at her,did a little bow then walked into the kitchen. Shincengume just watched him in suprise. We wer all suprised. He had yelled at her with sutch anger before that I thought that if they ever crossed pathes again that he would through her out the door.
Within minutes wonderfull fragrenses wer comming out of the kitchen then Hender came in carrying six plates then he went back in and came out with three pizzas! He set them on the coffe table then picked up a plate.
"Marrion what kind would you like?"He asked ,"I have meats, vegitables, and cheese."
"Um I guess cheese."Hender then gave me two pieces of cheese pizza and the other boys the meat.
"What about you Shincengume?"Hender asked and all went quiet.Hender looked at us all scepticly."What?"
"I thought you told her not to expeckt dinner?"I said alittle confused.
"Yes well, you can ask the boys, I do not stay that mad verry long. And of corse her stomoch was growling so loud that I herd it during our giggle fit."
"Giggle fit?"Jesse said in that lovely british acsent,"You wer laughing so hard I thought you wer going to sufocate."
"Yea what ever. So Shincengume what do you want?"
Shincengume just stared at him then she smiled sweetly.
"Um, the meat if you don't mind."She answerd.Hender gave her two pieces of the meat then he pult two of the vegie pizza on his plate then started up stares.
"Wear you goin" Jesse asked.
"To my office."Hender answerd."Then to my melding room,Then maby after that I'll go for a flight down to the lake."
"Lake?"I asked. "I didn't know there was a lake."
"Yes it's west twords the mountans It's large and deep.The water actualy comes up to the top of my ancle in my full form.I like to go there want to come?"
"No thanks."Zeth said getting up to put away his plate."I think I'll go to bed early tonight."
"Karn?"
"No,I want to go to bed too."
"Jess?"
"Nah,don't care for that place."
"What about you Shincengume?"
"No thankyou.I think I'll actualy go home now."
"So soon?"Hender and I wer both somewhat suprised."I said you could stay the night."
"I know."She said getting up and heading to the door."But I have overstayed my welcome, besides dad wants me home before sunrise."
"Okay then good night."Hender said with a small smile."Have a safe trip home."
Shincengume left with a little bow and closed the door behind her.Hender looked to me and smiled.
"What about you Marrion?"He asked me kindly."Would you like to come with me to the lake in a couple of hours?"
"I would love to,"I said"but the last time we went flying..."
"Dont wory.The lake is close by the mountans.about three hundred miles away from here."
"Then sure I'll come."
"Great.It will be a while but not to long.We shuld get to the lake by midnight."
"Okay,see ya later."
Hender then went up stares and I was left there with Jesse eating our pizza.
"You know that since it is just the two of you it's annother date."Jesse said taking another piece of pizza.
"Realy?"
"Duh.Hender was realy hopeing you would go.He realy likes you."
"Well,I like him too.And what Shincengume said,about him being hurt and sad, I can tell it's true."
"Yea."Jesse then looked at me with a smile.It was sad.It made me see how mutch he cared for Hender.
"Hay Marrion?"He asked with a sort of hop."If things don't work out between you and Hender will you gou out with me?"
"Sure Jesse,but don't get your hopes up.Thing are going well."
"Okay then.Why don't you go up stares and get reddy?You know, look nice for your second date."
"Allright I'll be down in a minute."
I then walked up stares and into my room.This was one heck of a day and if this realy is our second date then I bet this will also be a heck of a night.
