Alicia POV
We are at the Mandel lilies garden again. And I absolutely hate it. They are half way through with the process of making slayer sticks which means one step closer to attacking the dragons. Sure they were jerks are absolute evil bitches but did they seriously deserve to be wiped out of existence. Ok probably. But not all of them they are probably some innocent dragons that got caught up in this s**t.
Though I can't stop thinking about Nicklaus suggestion to me. It sounds amazing though finally living in the main kingdom. But I can't just abandon my family. I'm supposed to be the freaking protector.
"..... But I just don't know we will get in.... Ally, Ally are you even listening to me" My dad yelled cutting me off from my thoughts.
"Yes dad sorry" I answered.
"What's it with you today... You have been zoning out more" he asked
"I.. Um well it's just...." I was thankfully interrupted by screaming from the camp.
I'm not exactly thankful some is screaming I'm just thankful of the interruption.
"Oh great now what is it" Dad yelled before stroming outside.
I followed him meekly. He didn't exactly seem to be in a hippity hopity mood. Outside was a large crowd gathered . Dad pushed himself to the center and so did I. Lying there was a bloodied dragonnet. It was small really small. So obviously it was just a baby. Where is the mom or dad talk about parenting skills. How could they their kid wander all the way to the outlands.
"Let's kill it" the crowd yelled.
My eyes widened are they serious right now. First its a child and second its bleeding. Its probably not the greatest idea to give a heartfelt speech to an angry mob cause they can just now you down but I did anyway.
"People! People! Here me!" I yelled trying to gain their attention.
The barely turned and kept murmuring among themselves.
"Listen to me Damn it!" I yelled.
"Guys the protector is saying something". A random guy from the crowd said. And then everywhere fell silent.
Are you shitting me right now.
" We can't just kill this dragonet. For starters its a dragonet not an adult one that attacked us he's an innocent baby caught up in his parents s**t. Yes I understand your hatred and frustration towards the dragons after all they killed our children too but look if we kill the kid we would be just like them. Animals that's how it would be. I know this is hard but if it were you won't you want the dragons to spare you child too. Now I don't know how or why his dumb parents would let their child all the way here but instead of killing him I will treat its wound and leave it at the forest. Dragonets are born with a kind of tracking system that would help him find his way home" I finished.
Now this is the point they stone me to death for defending a dragon. But I could see they are undecided about it. Some looked like they want to help the dragon, others looked annoyed to know I'm right while some looked like they wished I was the dragon so they can kill me. My father falls in the latter.
"Ryder, take the dragonet to the forest and leave him there" My dad yelled.
"Shouldn't we treat him first" I asked.
"No" he replied.
"But when he finds his parents they are going to think we gave him that injury and they will come and attack us" I pointed out.
"I said NO. Let them attack us we aren't children and we can defend ourselves. You come with me Alicia" Dad yelled.
I nodded and followed him back to the tent.
As soon as I entered he was already attacking me with questions. Mom was also there.
"You have been acting weird lately. Since when do you love dragons enough to spare them". Dad asked.
" And who said I love to scally chimneys" I retorted.
"You go out to hunt the exact time in Tue exact place everyday. And you don't normally come back with food" He asked.
"That was the best part and time to hunt in the forest. And the animals ate moving on. There's not much to hunt" I responded.
"You are always zoning out. Don't give me that crap I know something is wrong with you. Spit it out" Dad yelled.
Its now or never I guess.
"I have a mate. And he's a dragon" I said.
Kill me now and bury me later. This is the part where I cease to exist. I'm probably disowned already. At least I don't have to lie anymore. But now I wish I still lied.
"You have a what!" Mom yelled.
My father was too shocked to yell or say anything as his voice was frozen in shock and oddly enough his jaw which has dropped like three inches.
"Yes I have a mate and its a dragon. I know its strange but its true". Why would I be lying anyway.
" But that's Impossible. There hasn't ever been a dragon human mate. Humans aren't even supposed to have mates especially with dragons " Dad yelled.
And he speaks!
"I'm not lying I have no reason to. He is the King's son. The prince of the dragons and next in line for the throne" I responded.
"Well nature screwed up. It really really did" mom commented.
"He wants me to go to the main kingdom" I say.
"Absolutely not" my mom cuts me off
"Well..... Not really. I think you should go and meet this Prince. Listen our plan to attack the dragons is full proof. But we don't know how to get in. People who have gotten near have testified they have almost tripled their security over a past few years. But if we have some one from inside maybe we can-" My dad said
"Absolutely not! . I would not let my daughter become a spy because of your selfish revenge. Do you know what they will do to her if they find out" mom yelled cutting dad off.
"But they won't find out. She will just be giving us information about them. Even if they find out her dumb mate won't let anything happen to her. He will protect her against everyone" my dad pointed out.
"The king put a price on my head I can't go as a spy they will kill me" I yelled.
" Relax you would be fine. I will get everything planned out tomorrow " Dad said
