The Dragon Diaries

Chapter 7

I walked to my secluded spot but for some reason, I felt like I was being followed but I did not see or feel anyone around me so it was probably my imagination. Sitting on a rock and thinking how I could make this mine; do I have to buy this land? Who stayed here before and what happened to him or her? “penny for your thoughts?” I gave a shocked yelp and stood up. “what are you doing here? Did you follow me?” it was Kyrix from school, does he stay here? What is he doing here. “yes I did because a friend of mine would love to meet with you so I thought I would wait for an opportunity but you made it too easy, the first try and you move away from protection” I was getting scared the more he talked and came towards me, I just stumbled away but tripped on a small rock, he was speaking under his breath and the air felt heavy for a minute and then went back to normal, I guess he is a Witch? Warlock? He gave me a small smile then all of a sudden three shapes appeared. Two were heavy with muscles and mean looking scars with cold blue eyes and black hair, the one in the middle was lean with a little muscle and tall, he had black hair and silver eyes but it was like staring into the abyss and drowning. “this is the one? You sure? I don’t feel her dragon” “yes I’m sure, I can feel it, she is not yet seventeen so she never shift or get her powers yet” I was hearing all this and trying to see how to get away because what Kyrix was saying is all true, the two muscles saw me and told their leader that I was on the move “oh don’t move yet sweetheart, you won't make it anyway. I will take her, your debt is paid but next time I see you in my dimension, I will kill you” Kyrix gave a sigh of relief “I am sorry Ariella” then he left me with these three guys, I was so scared that I was shivering in fear, I could feel their power and gosh it was suffocating. The leader walked towards me and I ran but I didn’t get far when I was caught from behind and I screamed or tried to but my voice was blocked, tears streaming down my face “now we can’t let anyone interrupt us now can we?” he took a deep breath” your fear and terror is such a sweet fragrance, love but there is no need, I’m just going to mark you as mine” then I felt his teeth sink in my neck and this time I did scream and it was filled with pain and fear but when I opened my eyes after he finally took his fangs out of my neck, we were not in the forest anymore. I started crying because I knew I will never see my parents again. The guy was humming to me and it actually sounded so calming that I actually stopped crying and turned in his arms and that was when I noticed that I was on his lap and I looked up at him in fear “why did you take me, what are you going to do to me?” he lifted his hand and I flinched but he just moved my hair from my face “please don’t hurt me” I whimpered. He sighed “I’m not going to hurt you, love, you are mine now, as my mate, I could never hurt you” I was shocked but hopeful that he won’t hurt me, gosh he was beautiful, why am I thinking that! He kidnapped me! “this is your new home, I have things to do, just rest and I will be back as soon as I can” he got up and put me on a huge bed and left. I looked around the room but was too scared to move, sigh, it seems like there is always things that scare me in every situation, I really need to get stronger so I don’t rely on anyone. I always relied on others to get me things and information, fight my battles or more like hid from everything, no more, I’m going to be a new person, I decided. This new guy seems to want me, well he will get me but he will teach me everything he knows, the last time I ask someone for help.

I waited for him a while but he took too long so I fell asleep but woke slightly when I felt the bed move “don’t wake love, go back to sleep” I barely heard what he said, I felt him pull me towards him and he wrapped me up and I was so warm, it felt so good. He was still asleep when my eyes opened, can you believe it? I was mated to the guy and I don’t know who or what he is, not even his name. He looks so dangerous even asleep and I wonder if he will take the deal or not, he does not seem like a guy that bothers what other people’s problems are, what if he does not care how I feel? I admit that I feel a connection to him, a connection that he forced on me by biting me but I’ve never felt like this before and if he could help me plus be mine then it is worth a try, doesn’t it? “are you going to stare at me whole night and think?” I gasped and saw his eyes were still closed then he opened them, my first thought was yes, yes I am going to give him a try, I always read stories about epic love and I’ve always wanted that and I really hope he can give me that. I smiled at him “when Kyrix gave me to you, why did you make me your mate? And not some prisoner or slave? Not that I’m com-” “because looking in your beautiful eyes captured me and held me, I already belonged to you then so I wanted you to belong to me” oh gosh I am so giving him a try “kiss me” he smirked and kissed me and my goddess, did he kiss me full and I swear I felt tingles going through me from my lips throughout my body, it was my first kiss but I was guided by him. He pulled me and he went on top of me, his weight pressed on me and it felt good, he held my hands so I could not move, oh I loved how he handles me and the growls he gave out whenever I tried to move, I did it just to get that reaction. I pulled back because I was starving for a breath after the kiss and he just kissed my throat over the mark where he bit me and just held me, he didn’t seem to be in a rush to have s*x with me and I was grateful because I was not ready right now but I know I will break my will soon and be with him and I hope I won’t regret it, I mean he is my mate so he and I cannot be with anyone else, right? But with each other till death. I looked up at him and smiled and gave him a peck on his lips and snuggled with him and tried to sleep.

I woke up alone and I felt sad, wondering where he was and what am I to do whenever he is gone and I didn’t even mention my deal which seems pointless since I said I would give him a try and the way I acted yesterday. Sigh, I cannot stop blushing whenever I thought about it and what made me so bold but gosh I want to be under him again, I want him to control me a little in bed the way he did last night… sigh, all this just because of a kiss... I’m hungry so I better wash up and see this place and what food there is in the kitchen, another new place to get used to as my home. Going to the shower, I could not find a towel, where can it be? I was just about to leave the room when it opened and he came in, that is when I noticed that I still have no idea what his name is “hi… you know, I still have no idea what your name is? Or what you are but you know mine, oh and where are the towels?” he gave a teasing smile “I am Baal and I am a warrior demon, second most powerful demon in the demon dimension and the towels are in the cabinet in the bathroom” oh my word, he is a demon, I am mated to a demon! Does he eat souls? “do you eat souls?” he just laughed “love, souls are made from energy, yes we eat energy but we eat the extra, the ones you use whenever you think or do physical activity, you call it aura I believe? Well no demon can consume a whole soul, well maybe a starved demon” I believed him and it made sense, myths are always wrong but the basis of it lies in truth, if that makes sense. I just smiled and went into the bathroom and then went out to get his clothes “I will get my sister to take you shopping later or tomorrow” well that’s great because I can’t go on wearing his clothes.

I went out and saw him on the bed, I decided to be bold and I walked up to the bed “hi…” I smiled then squealed when he pulled me on top of him, I was striding him and he came up to kiss me, I kissed him back more confidently than last night but he nipped on my lip, he wants to be in control so I let him, he then turned us around and his weight was on me again and I sighed in pleasure, he kissed my eyelids, my nose, my lips and my neck, his hands went under the shirt and his thumb was going in circles on my ribs. I felt so turned on that I wanted to finish what I started but he went ridge and then told me that he was being summoned, I gave a sigh and when he was gone, I was swearing myself for letting my feelings take over again. I was not ready and it is too soon, we were only together for two days and I do not know him or him me. I should definitely get to know him more before we get any further than making out.

There was a knock on the door but I didn’t want to answer so I pretended to sleep and eventually the person went away, I knew it could possibly be Baal’s sister but I did not feel like going out, I was too lazy and I really needed to talk to Baal, I could not think or do anything else until I talked to him except eat since I’m really hungry but if there are other people in the house, I do not want to go out wearing this and how am I to get food? I don’t cook… I guess I should wait for Baal’s return.

You know, there is a lot that I do not know and there is a lot that some of the supernatural don’t know either, the world is a scary place when you really think about it, no not only the world but the universe. I grew up not even suspecting that I lived with or around the supernatural yet once I was in the in, I found out in such a little time about vampires, shifters, demons and my own parents that lived with me my whole life, had hidden the fact that they and I, are dragon shifters. The vampires who are one of the supernatural don’t even know all the supernatural in the world and that is scary, they had to compromise with my parents because they knew nothing of dragon shifters. Do they know demons exist? What species does the demon know that others don’t and what species do they not know? I want to know all the species that I can, I want to learn about them all, are there any aliens? Are they friendly? What language do they speak? Can I learn them? There are so many questions and as a vampire, I’m immortal so I can learn all this, I just have to wait till I’m eighteen and know how to fight etc.

I was lying on the bed when he came in and with a pair of clothes! “you have been held up here for too long, I thought you would like to go out, we can buy a few clothes before you go tomorrow” I was excited and jumped up and grabbed the clothes and rushed to the bathroom and when I got out, I went up to him and kissed him on the cheek “thank you, are we going out to eat? I’m hungry” “poor thing, I have not looked after you well, have I?” “nope but I am sure you can make it up to me… teach me everything you know, I want to learn this world and the species in it or out of it?” he laughed “anything for you love, now give me a kiss” smiling with the thought on how easy that was, I put my arms around his neck and kissed him and he dominated the kiss like he dominates everything. I love kissing him, he carried me and I put my legs around him while he carried me downstairs “erm! Please save that for the room” said a sweet voice. I was embarrassed when I saw a girl leaning on a table smirking at us “Jordana, please don’t snoop, you were supposed to be at work” “I was but I finished so I came to give Ariella some company since you were working but I see I am not needed, Ariella, it is so nice to meet you, I am Jordana, this one’s dear sister” I was feeling bad for leaving her out when she came to give me company “hi, it is good to see you too, you can come if you want, we just going to eat, I think” I looked up at Baal to see if I angered him or something but he did not seem upset “if you come then you can take her shopping as well” well that’s good. We all went out in a flash and the next thing you know, we are in a huge mall and the people there were in all different forms? Different demon species I guess? I wonder what Baal looks like in demon form and if I would be scared or still like him and if he would recognise me or not and hurt me.

The first place I made sure we went to was an eating place. We took a seat but I could not stop looking at all the different species of demons around the restaurant, some was in human form but most of them was not, there were demons with egg yellow colour with furry wings and sharp nails and shark-like teeth, demons that were red and small with whip-like tales and horns and teeth like sharks as well and “Ariella, please do not stare, it is not polite” I blushed and looked down at the menu, I could not recognise the language so I looked blankly at Baal “what kinds of food do you love to eat? I will tell you if they have it or anything similar” we went through the menu and I just took an alfredo while Baal took the chicken alfredo and Jordana took a chicken salad, we waited for the food for a while but it came way quicker than on earth. The food had an odd flavour that I could not place but loved.

Baal left after we ate, said he had things to do and that Jordana and I should get to know each other better and have fun shopping. I think that just like every guy out there, he hates shopping so he made an excuse but I forgive him as he did not leave me alone and well…he is a guy, after all, I can’t expect him to love shopping with me, that is too much plus I love his manliness. The short time that I got to know him, mostly at the restaurant, he showed me that he is arrogant, egotistical about his image and pure confident male s*x appeal, but what really touched me was under all that, he was loyal to a fault when it comes to those he loves and views as his, like his affection for his sister really pulled my heart like a puppet, pulling the strings towards him. Sigh, I miss my parents, the others not so much since I did not have friends but I need to earn Baal’s trust before I ask him to let me see my parents. I feel guilty for having fun or liking it here but I can’t help it, Jordana is the first girl that had ever tried to get to know me to be a friend and I like her so far, I do not know if she is being nice because of Baal or because of me but time will tell and I will take what I can for now I guess as she does not act differently towards me when he is not here but this is the first time we are alone together and if she was being nice for her brothers sake than I’m sure she would have shown her true self by now, right? I was somewhat praying that she was genuinely being nice to me because she wants to get to know me, I mean how hard will it be in a relationship with Baal while hating his sister but acting otherwise when he is around? or if she makes him hate me and whispers this and that to him, he will believe her because he loves her and I so need to stop overthinking everything, she might not do that or she might but it is on her and I will not push her into it, I will be myself and we will see what happens, I should not judge her when she has done nothing wrong, she might not be like the girls from school, she is older so she would have moved passed that stage if she was ever the popular mean girl. I have been overthinking for a few minutes so Jordana have been quite as well while looking through the clothes at the first store and disappeared so after picking a few jeans and tops, I went looking for her, I saw a lime green scarf and took that too before bumping into a red scaly demon with steam coming out of her mouth when she gasped and I saw tiny fangs “I am so so sorry!” I ran out of her way even though she seemed more puzzled than angry and luckily found Jordana at the end of the dressing aisle. I decided to take some dresses too even though I have hardly ever worn them before, I went up to Jordana and we finished up then we went to a sexy lingerie store and I turn red, I must have looked hilarious because Jordana gave out a quite laugh but pulled me in “oh don’t be shy Ariella, you have to look sexy under the clothes as well if you want to seduce that brother of mine, he can be difficult unless you soften him up, remember, a girl always holds the relationship by his balls” I bit my lip to stop from laughing “and do you have a mate? Are you in control of his… erm… you know?” she laughed “oh you are too cute and innocent for my dear brother, don’t worry, I will help you and yes I do have a mate and yes I do hold his balls always” this conversation is making me redder and my cheeks are stinging so I look at the lingerie but I imagine myself wearing it for him so that is no help. I walked around and I just could not be so bold as to wear the costumes that Jordana wanted me to wear and although I did take a few of the matching lingerie and other things then we hightailed it out of there to Jordana’s amusement. I was wondering why we did not just flash away until we got to a salon, I looked to her for an explanation “Baal said to spoil you so I am but not all in one day, an excuse so we can spend more time together or Baal will steal all your time” smiling with the thought that she really likes me, it is so good to have a friend at last, don’t know what I was thinking as a wallflower all alone… but then again, it was not like I had a choice.

We had to wait a while at the salon while looking through the hairstyles, I always loved long hair so I don’t think I’d cut it too short but maybe shoulder length with a straight fringe, yep I’ve always wanted that look but I did not want to be bold so my hair was all one length. I had guys tell me I was exquisite with my dark red hair and black eyes with freckles along my cute nose but saying something while choosing other girls is another thing. I also use to wear baggy clothes, more tomboyish clothes because if I wore any other clothes, people use to tease me ‘oh look who is trying to look sexy now’ ‘who do you want to f**k that you wearing something so out of your league?’ ‘popular wannabe’ and so on so I thought, if it is comfortable, I’ll wear it, until now that is. I am going through a totally new look, hair, clothes, and attitude too and I’m liking it as I finally get to find myself without fearing what others would think and not really caring either way because this is my life and this few weeks has taught me that if you sit back and let others rule it, you cannot complain if you do not like what they do with it, because you let them. s**t, we forgot to buy shoes! I am sure we can go after we finish here, though, I do not want to leave and sit in a queue when we came back.

I loved my hair, it kind of boxed my face but it suits me and we also did our nail, I put black tips because I loved the elegant goth look but I did not get a chance to try it but now I can and most of the clothes I bought is elegant gothic. After the salon, I told Jordana I would like shoes so she took me to a shop and just next door, I saw a jewellery shop and promised to go there next. I bought pumps, takkies, sandals and boots, we also bought a few jewellery then she flashed us home, as soon as we bought stuff, she flashed it home so it was not until I got to the room did I see the bags and packets and boxes and my gosh I probably bank r***d him! s**t, he is going to be so angry I spent so much of his money! Jordana saw my look and just laughed “don’t worry love, we are loaded and he did say I should spoil you. Now come on, let us see what outfit you are going to wear for tonight’s dinner” I picked a skinny legged jean and a double layered top off shoulder top but Jordana just said no and picked a black spaghetti strap dress with small purple and white flowers on it and my black pumps and silver bangles, a black choker with a ruby tear in the middle and ruby stud earrings and I left my hair open then she said her goodbyes and left me. Is Baal going to take me on a date? He didn’t ask me but why else would Jordana dress me like this? Well, I can’t wait! I never went on a date so I was nervous but excited as well.

I was sitting on the lounge and watching TV, same programs like on earth, so far, I did not find any programs for demons like where they acted in but a few channels were in different languages. Baal walked in and he was wearing a tuxedo! “are you ready for dinner, love?” I swear I just melt whenever he calls me love “yes” I squeaked but he just smiled and held his palm out and I put the TV off and put my hand in his, he brought my hand to his lips and gave a feather light caress “in my eyes, you are the most beautiful creation, yet I see that you were hiding your beauty, you look breathtaking, love, though I must confess, I wish I could tear the material off, the real beauty lying under” I caught my breath and gosh I wanted to cry, stupid I know but that was the most beautiful and arousing thing I have ever heard anyone say to me. I went up to him and told him how I felt with a kiss until I had no more breath and had to pulled away “thank you, you are gorgeous in that tuxedo as well” he smiled a very pleased smile and flashed us to a very huge and stylish restaurant and went to a reserved seat and held the chair out for me and he honest to god picked me up like I weighed nothing and put me forward and then took his seat. I could not stop looking at him! Gosh I feel so nervous and there’s like a whole colony of bees buzzing around in my tummy, I don’t know how I am going to seduce him, I have no experience and he has a lot, what was Jordana thinking by telling me to seduce him like it would be that easy. Maybe I can hold it off since I don’t think I am ready to go all the way, Jordana thinks that he will respect my wishes and just go as slow as I want and stop if I tell him to but that is too much like teasing him and running away for me, she said there are other pleasures to give and receive and I believed her but know that I think about it, I can’t go through with it, no matter how much I say I want to change, it has only been few days and I am still the quiet wallflower. Maybe I can start small by just smiling and glancing at him? Would he get the hint and make a move?

I did not realise how thirsty I was but shopping for hours had dehydrated me a little so I drank more than half of my ice water then had my cauliflower and peas with relish. I did not know I was moaning aloud “love, if you do not stop moaning like that, I would steal your food out of jealousy and show you on this table, in front of everyone, why you should be moaning my name instead” I gasped and blushed and bit my lip but seeing as it brought his eyes there and brought heat in his eyes, I let it go and ate quietly this time, very self-conscious and my god I just wanted to go home and hide from the heated stare that is making me hot and give him anything he wants if he would just kiss me and touch me and hold me and love me… sigh I can’t do anything under his gaze, my tummy feels like it’s in a blaze and I need to feel his hands on me but he was still eating and my goodness he never looked away from me, it was like he was tasting me and enjoyed it! “I am finished, are you? Do you want to go home now?” oh yes! Yes! Yes! “yes, I am,” I think he saw something in my eyes because he gave a confident grin and he had a satisfactory glen in his eyes.

When he flashed us to the room, the first place visited was the bathroom and I started freaking out, without him in front of me to make me feel naughty, my shy old self-came back and I did not know if I could go out in the lingerie but as Jordana said, he is my mate and it is a bond that goes beyond looks and it is true death do us part since that is the only way to end the bond so it matters not if I make a fool of myself (so nice for her to say). I thought of the looks he gave me and walked out but stopped as I opened the door, his back was to me but he turned when he heard the door and froze like me, he was in just boxers and wow… I need to feel those muscles and his abs. He walked to me and my heart was almost beating out of my chest the closer he got, he stood in front of me and I stood up on tiptoe to give him a kiss and that was all he needed, he picked me up and laid me on the bed then got on top of me and just kissed the hell out of me and held my waist, squeezing and letting go, it felt good to have someone touch me and kiss me. He held my hair and pulled until my neck was fully exposed and he kissed and sucked me there, he kissed the bite and it tingled right to my private area and when he bit over the mark, oh my word, I nearly came and would if he kept doing that. His hand moved slowly up and under my bra but I don’t think he liked it because he unhooked the bra then went back to palming them, he left my neck but still held my hair and kept me still while he took one breast in his hand and played with the other with his mouth. I could not take it anymore and I did not know what to do, my hands automatically went to touch him but he growled and nipped me a bit hard and I pouted but stayed still but I was begging him with my eyes but it was overshadowed with pleasure, he watched my reaction to everything he did and I could not hide anything, he brought me screaming his name and I was almost in tears with the, so pure pleasure of what he did, he came up and kissed me and this time I knew to give him control and not to fight it, although I do love his reaction whenever I do fight him. He ground himself into me and I felt a huge bulge on my tummy and it excited me and scared me at the same time, I must have frozen though because he let my hair go and traced my face “no need to be scared, I will fit but I will not take you until you are ready” I blushed and traced my fingers on his abs and was delighted when he shivered, wonder what he will do if I lick him on his abs, oh my, I wonder what he will do if I lick and suck him there... I looked at him but his eyes were closed so I licked his n****e which was what I could reach and he gasped and squeezed my breast and I moaned his name, he chuckled and kissed me. I was getting tired although I didn’t want this to stop so I did not tell him but somehow he knew and he pulled me so close to him that I felt connected to him and brought the blanket over and I was a bit sad but when he brought the blanket over us and I was nice and warm, I found I couldn’t keep my eyes open so I gave him my last kiss for the night and wrapped my arms around him, I opened my eyes slightly when he kissed my mark and gave a lazy moan which he just grinned too and gave out a small baby chuckle then closed his eyes.

In the middle of the night, still tired, I saw and felt that Baal was not here and I did not hear him anywhere and the bathroom light was off so I decided to just check if he was down so I opened the door but again I saw no light on downstairs either so I went back to bed wondering where he went. It was then that I noticed that I still did not know what he did for a living or if he had any family other than Jordana alive or anything really, sigh I must fix that tomorrow.
