Dragon Drake's Mission

Chapter 12

"We need to go. Rather teleport to somewhere else." Drake hurried with Luna away from Gerald who was already sending men to block them.

"Where are we going to teleport to? A forest? Your home? Where?" Luna asked has she ran away with him. Her hair bouncing up and down.

"I don't know. Just anywhere my mind take me to."

 Drake stopped at an empty corridor and tried to catch his breath. So did Luna too.

"What a mess!" She groaned. "Those men are looking for us right?" She pointed to the men approaching and looking everywhere for them.

"Yes. Just hold me tighter and we will leave here before they get to this place." Drake heaved and dragged Luna to himself and disappeared from there.

"Where did they go just now?" One of the men grunted seeing no sight of them anymore.

"Huh? I don't know. They might hid themselves around here." Another guy spoke.

"I suggest we go back to tell Gerald, your boss and mine that we lost him." A man in his early thirties in navy blue suit ordered and left first with two men behind him.

"Argh! Aissh! Don't you think this place is cold? Wow! Such a beauty view!" She exclaimed when she stared at the sea from the tall building they are. At the rooftop.

"I really have no place in mind than this right now. Let's just stay in that house for now and carry out the plans here." Drake said, also looking at the environment. It really a good place to have come here.

"What about school? I won't go to school to take my exams?"

"I didn't say that. You will still write your exams. Trust me."

"How? I don't even know this place. We are in the middle of nowhere right now because of those damn people looking for us. This isn't fair at all." Luna rolled her eyes at him.

"Are we going to start arguing over this? You're in it and no going back. They've seen you, they've seen me with you and there's no doubt that they'd think you're one of us. So, let's stick together, help me and we end this." He stated, staring deep into her eyes.

"It looks like you're suddenly forcing me to do this with you but I won't make it look like that. I'm just gonna accept this as my fate. Part of my fate. Let's just go somewhere, so I can rest my butt and eat." She collected the polythene bag from Drake and walked away from him.

"She's still unbelievable!" Drake mumbled and shook his head before following her.

The two sat on the sand eating the snacks and watching the strong waves quietly. 

"Where are your parents?" Drake asked shortly after drinking his coke.

"I don't have parents. I live alone as you can see." Luna replied.

"I can't see that. Because some people tend to live on their own and not with their parents." Drake smiled. " What happened to your parents?" 

"They died in an accident. They were coming to see me when I was graduating from high school. It was very sad though. They were the only one I had then." She explained bitterly and sighed.

"I'm sorry if I asked and reminded you of your parents."

"No, it okay! There's nothing to feel bad about it." She shook her head and sniffed. "It really okay. You reminded me of them and that next week is their death anniversary." She smiled wryly.

"You're visiting their grave right?"

"Yes. Let's go together. Will you follow me? I've missed them so much and I couldn't visit them more often because of what I'm currently going through right now. My exams, this mission and so on."

"A..are you going to cry?" Drake's eyes widened when he saw tears gathered, threatening to fall from her eyes but she's holding it back.

"I'm sorry! But I can't help it." She replied hoarsely.

"Let it out. I will comfort you." Drake pulled her close to her, her head resting on his chest and he patting her head as Luna began to cry.

He shouldn't have ask her. He shouldn't have ask about her parents.

"I understand you. I know how it feels not to have parents. Even If I have my mother, the fact that I can't see my father and twins sisters since I was young then still hurt. I don't think I'd be able to identify them again.

 It been years. I don't know if they are still alive there in that cruel cage those damn scientists put them but I hope they are alive. And if they happen to be alive now, I pray they are doing well." Drake spoke as he comfort Luna at the same time.

"How old were you when thise men came to capture you?" Luna asked, trying to clean her tears with the hem of her cloth.

"I was 11 years old then." He answered truthfully.

"You really tried. I can't imagine my parents die when I'm still around that age. I'd tell the people present there to bury me with them. I have no family apart from them. That's why I ended up living alone cause I have no one to run to." She sniffed as she was getting better.

"You don't have an aunt or uncle?"

"My dad and mom are the only child of their parents. And they don't really mingle their selves with other family. They live alone. We live alone." Luna explained.

"Let's stop here and go look for somewhere to settle for the night. Lookin at today's weather, it really going to rain tonight." Drake looked up the sky and smiled.

"I don't think I brought my jacket with me."

"I will give you mine. Do you mind?" Drake stretched his jacket out.

"Of course I mind. I don't want to freeze to death at night." Luna snatched the jacket from him and wore. She felt warm Immediately.

"So, I'd be the one to freeze to death?"

"No, you can keep yourself warm. You're a red hot dragon, remember." Luna chuckled and Drake joined too.

"I expect that."
