Secrets And Sacrifice

Chapter 8

"Thats right you heard it here first on channel 8" said a reporter on the tv. "Dragons are real! Where did they come from and how did Siyera Michael's find them? Reporter Angela Brown is at the hospital where the young woman was taken shortly after the reveal of the beasts, Angela what have you found out so far?"

"Hey Marie, So I unfortunately haven't found out to much since getting here as im sure you can twll by the large crowd behind me..." Angela said tunring and gesturing behind her. "Hunderds of people have come down to show their support for Siyera" said Angela.

"And what of the dragons where are they?" Asked the reporter at the news station. "From what in looks like they have flown to the top of the hospital away from the crowd" Angela answered as tbe camera pointed up.

"Oh it looks like Siyera's boyfriend has just arrived" Angela said as she and other reporters swarmed seth.

"How long has Siyera had the dragons?"

"Do you believe they pose any danger?"

"How did she come across them?"

The questions continued as seth pushed his way through the people until he finally got into the hospital.

"Hello Im looking for my girlfriend Siyera Michael's?" Seth said simply to the receptionist. "Im sorry its family only" said the receptionist. "Im her emergency contact, you guys called me" Seth said. "Here's my id" said passing it to the receptionist. The receptionist looked at it than pulled up her file.

"Have a seat" she said handing his id back to him. "The doctor will be out to speak with you shortly" she added, and serh simply nodded before sitting down in a chair in the waiting room.

"Are you Ms. Michael's family?" A doctor asked appearing in front of seth after 10 long minutes. "I am" Seth said standing up. "Is she ok? what happened?" Seth questioned.

"She was stabbed in the upper left quadrant of her abdomen, and also has 2 bruised ribs and a concussion" he told him. "She lost a lot of blood so we had to do a blood transfusion, but she is stable now and resting" he added.

Serh let out a sigh of relief. "Can i see her?" Seth asked. "Yes, but first are you able to get the dragons off the roof?" The doctor asked. "Their kinda in the way of the hello helicopters landing" he told him. "Unfortunately Siya is the only one they listen to" Seth said awkwardly. The doctor turned to the receptionist. "Let's the chief know to continue diverting the helicopters to the next hospital we wont be able to do anything until Ms. Michael's wakes up" the doctor said and the receptionist did as she was told.

"Please follow me this way ill take you to her"

When seth entered the room he paused for a moment and just stared at her.

Her had was wrapped with a bandage. She was connected to an Iv, and her arms had already begun to bruise.

Seth walked over to the side of her bed and sat down in the chair before gently picking her and up and holding it between his 2 hands.

Seth than leaned his head down.

"Im so sorry" he said almost choking on his own words as tears filled his eyes. "I never should have let you go alone" he told her. "I should've been there to protect you" he added.

The guilt he had filled his chest so much so it almost felt as if it was overflowing. His heart ached. He hated seeing Siya like this. Hurt, in pain, unconscious in a hospital bed.

Seth kissed her hand. He thought back to the day they met... the day they were down by the river and Siya reached her hand out to him and saved him.

He was nothing without her.

"How is she?" A female voice asked. "Isa..." seth said looking up. "What are you doing here?" He asked. "She's my sister why wouldn't I be here?" Isabelle asked. "Thats not what I meant.

Isabelle walked over to the opposite side of the bed from seth and looked down at siya. Her long black hair covered her face for a moment before she tucked it behind her ear.

Siyera and Isabelle were complete opposites from personality to looks Isabelle the oldest, had black hair and brown eyes. And resembled their her father. She was closed off and seemingly shy to those she didn't know. Siyera on the other hand was born with red hair and green eyes. Though she decided to dye it blonde. Her personality was outgoing, and sweet.

"How interesting the world did Siya of all people come across dragons?" Isa asked. Seth went to speak but was quickly interrupted again. "Actually never mind" said Isa. "This is Siya were talking about" she added pinching the bridge of her nose.

"At the very least how did this happen?" Isa asked with a serious look directed at Seth. "She... she wanted to save them" he told Isa. "They were taken and she decided sbe would do whatever it takes to get them back"

"AND YOU DIDN'T STOP HER!" Isabelle snapped. "She could have died Seth!" "I know!" He snapped back.

"But you didn't see her Isabelle" he said. "You didn't see her fight to try to keep them... you didn't see her cry as they took them away from her... you didn't see her broken after they were gone..."

Isabelle didn't say a word. "Your right" Isa said biting her lip. "Im sorry" she added. "I know how she can be i shouldn't have yelled" she added.

"Its all over the news you know" she told him. "Them flying over the city, he speech in the park, the dragons on the roof right now" Isa told him. "This isn't gonna just go away the world knows"

"Thats exactly what she wanted" Seth replied. "She knew if she revealed them to the world, there was nothing anyone could do"
