DRAGON BLOOD

chapter 1

"NO! GOD NO!" I screamed while holding my daughter's dead body with an arrow protruding out from her chest.

"AHH!" I screamed again feeling my knees give way and I fell to the ground,feeling all the pain I had surpressed come back in full force.

Everyone is dead,everything....gone,my friends,my pack and my only family all gone.

I wonder why am still surprised,why I let hope make me forget who I am......"CURSED".

cursed yes that's what I am.

I was the downfall of two and now three packs,they took me in,loved me,cared for me,and now they are all dead gone.

I stay down there feeling the pain cut through me.

The little girl,I loved,lia my bundle of joy, and orphan, died because of me they killed her,I laid down there feeling the pain cut through me, I can't stay here I can't let people die because of me,I have to leave, go far away from here,from them.

"yes" I whisper feeling my already sore throat hurt from all the crying.

Getting up I carry lia in my arms but the bad injury on my leg prevents me from moving,but I persist not feeling the pain any more.

I can't feel anything anymore.

hey am kyla smith,

my parents died when I was just 4 years old.

I still remember vividly how my parents would take me to the park and buy me ice cream.

they loved me so much why did they have to die so early, my life wouldn't be so hard.

anyway they died in an attack on our pack.

The rival pack took me and some other children as slaves after six years we were finally allowed to go to school."don't ask me why even am still wondering why you'll let slaves go to school.

At the age of 16 I finished college and became a pack doctor.

yes! at 16

let's say i've always been the genius of the pack.

so all the classes were just not advance enough for me so I graduated early.

And am not a nerd if that's what your thinking am actually what you call beauty with brains.

I was the only slave allowed to go to college.

I guess our alpha wasn't a block head

let just say he knows the importance of education.

even as the pack doctor I was still treated like garbage

I'd do everyone laundry,cook,clean,and teach the children.

you name it,I was given all the work.

But everything changed on that night......

the night I was asked to clean the treasure room,this the room where the packed kept all valuables.

I wish I was never sent there.

even the barn was better than that place...it gives me shivers just thinking about it.

anyway you'll find out in due time.

2years later.....

leaves sounded beneath my feet as I made my way through the forest keeping my senses on high alert, for some reason I couldn't fall asleep I guess i've gotten used to how the forest comes alive after the sunsets.

I was not particularly scared,not after what I've been through anyway but just agitated, the forest was never this quiet.

I stared around the forest which was bathed in the soft glow of the moon light streaming through the gaps of the tent of the leaves allowed to pass through.

my curly long hair stopped just before my waist line not being interfered by the wind due to the absence of one.

my forest green eyes turned cold in distress.

something was definitely not right and I knew it, I could feel it, even the air felt weird if that made any sense.

I walked through what had become my home for the past 2years reminiscing the tragic tale that kept me there.

Walking for up to 10minutes,I stopped suddenly as my ear pecked up,

I raised my nose sniffing the air to be given nothing in return,reluctantly I make my way towards the sound I had heard, keeping a protective stance when I heard a distant heartbeat ......two heart beats, after walking for some time I get to a clearing, what the heck is this feeling.

I gasp next to the river is none other than a woman.

she looks breathtaking,even I'm mesmerized,her jet black hair flowing in the wind,her skin sparkling in the moon light as rays of moonlight dance on her skin, my eyes fall on her red blood lips, so enticing.

"WAIT ew ew ew no." what the heck am I thinking, I sound like a p*****t.

anyway, what is slightly terrifying is her eyes their pure white, so mysterious and her stare feels like she's boring into my soul.

I cautiously make my way over to her,the more I move towards her the heavier the air gets.

This is weird,OK maybe she's crazy God what am I doing.

I wanted to stop but I guess I was just too curious,wow typical kyla always inviting danger my wolf teases.

I roll my eyes at her.

As I get closer,I hear her murmuring to herself, OK definitely crazy.

"Hello?"

"who are you?"

"what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"how did you get here?"

"hello?"

"hello?"

No reply.....nothing! weird! I walk closer.

"what the heck is this?"

"who are you?" I try asking her again.

This is the weirdest night in the history of like ever!

"Am hazel...please help me."

what? her? what is this?

Then my eyes fall on the baby in her arms,so cute, with her jet black hair, green eyes and pink soft lips, as I look at her,my icy cold heart melts instantly.

"she's beautiful" I say subconsciously

a small smile appears on hazel lips, yes "she is, isn't she?"

"yes she is".

"To bad,so many people want her for selfish reasons,please you need to help me,my daughter is......is different, please take care of her,this is the end of the road for me. they are coming and i'll distract them."

"Wait what I don't understand,you're not making any sense, I can't take care of the baby,I .....I mean it's your baby for God's sake right?"I said feeling frustrated by this whole scenario.

"she's yours to take care of. and what do u mean they'll kill her?"I asked feelings a headache coming along.

"what do you mean she's not safe,they want her?

who are "they".I said

"they'll kill her please take care of her I might not be able to protect her." she said crying, pleading "she looks so pitiful" my wolf say feeling sympathy for her.

"OK fine I'll help you".I blurt out before I can stop my self.

WHAT THE HECK.

"I promise".

"promise me once again you'll protect my baby before you think of anyone else". OK this woman is crazy, but she needs my help her and her baby's lives depending on me I can't let her down.

"I promise". I said with new found determination.

I couldn't protect my parents,my friends,my pack and lia but the least I can do is to protect this child and her mom.

but seriously who is this child, how the heck is her mother,how did they get here?

I need answers and I hope I can trust hazel.

she isn't leading me into a trap hopefully( fingers crossed).
