Destined to save them all

5. Dream

Alex's POV

I place the letter on my bed and wipe my face I can feel the tears running down my cheeks. Now I have so many more questions ones I still don't and can't get answers for from her.

If I thought I was exhausted before now I'm even more so. I fall back on my bed my head spinning with all different thoughts.

I feel myself slowly falling into the darkness and I happily let it take over me. I've had enough for one day.

I wake to the sound of water as I open my eyes im not in the comfort of my bed. I'm outside beside a river. It seems to go forever in both directions. I slowly get to my feet and spin around in a circle trying to work out were I am. I see mountains to the left and a wide open valley to the right. The sun is shining brightly in the sky which is odd because I know I went to bed at night. I dont see anything to give a hint of where I am.

So I do what anyone would. I yell

"Hello" nothing

"Hello any body there?"

Still no answer so I decide I will go for a walk along the river. But which way should I go. I decided to head towards the mountains. Why not right maybe people will be near them. Maybe someone will be fishing or something.

I feel like I've been walking for ages but feel no closer to the mountains. I keep calling out incase someone is around but still no luck. I keep going not like I have anything else to do until I wake up. I can only think it must be a dream I know I went to sleep.

I'm so lost in my thoughts that I almost don't hear the faint sound of crying. I start looking everywhere I can't see anyone. I dont want to scream and scare who ever it is away

A few more steps and then I see him. A little boy he looks to be about 6. He has black hair he isn't very big. A million thoughts go through my head. Why is he crying? Where are his parents? Does he have parents? How did he get out here by himself? I slowly step up to him. He seems to slow his crying as he seems to sense me sit down beside him.

"Hello my name is Alex. Why are you crying chicken?" he doesnt answer straight away just looks up at me. He has the most amazing blue eyes i have ever seen they sparkle like the ocean. I slowly reach my hand up to wipe his face. He smiles at me and says

"I'm not a chicken silly I'm a dragon. Well I will be when im older. I'm not old enough yet im only 8. Mum says when I get big and strong and turn 18 I will be the strongest dragon in the land just like my dad".

I let out a laugh at that, a dragon this kid has a great imagination.

"Then why are you crying? I ask

"Because i don't have any friends and everyone picks on me they say im not strong and my dragon will be weak because I'm weak but im not. I just can't show them. I'm not allowed, i have to keep it a secret. My mum made me promise and I cant break a promise to my mum."

"No you can't break a promise to your mum. But I can be your friend if you like

I dont have any friends either."

"Really? You would be my friend like forever and ever? We do live a long time. How old are you?

"Absolutely I would love to be your friend. I'm 17 I will be 18 in a few months. Here hold out your hand."

I undo my charm bracelet and put it onto his wrist. Its full of charms from animals like a butterfly a frog and even a dragon to the moon and stars. He is so fascinated with it he is looking at every single charm. I point out the dragon and his face lights up he smiles so wide. I think I have made his day. He plays with the dragon a little more then he starts to unclip it and hands it back to me.

He has the biggest smile on his face when he says

"Oh my goddess. Does that mean you will get your dragon soon? I dont have anything to give you so take the dragon and you will always remember me im so happy to have a friend."

"Thank you. No i won't be getting my dragon im not a dragon. How about you tell me your name too since I dont know it."

"Dominic is my name. I hope when I get a mate you will be her. Then we can be the king and queen and everyone will see im not weak." He jumps up from the ground gives me a hug, a kiss on the cheek and takes off.
