The Dragon Diaries

Chapter 10

Jordana was not answering so I ate my food alone in the lounge while watching SpongeBob square pants, I did not want to take a chance and go outside again. So I took out a book and went under the blankets and read until I was too tired so I went to the bath and went to bed but I felt thirsty and was thinking if I could ignore it and just sleep since I had blood today and I did not want to go up to the house just yet… but since I don’t want to be weak tomorrow, maybe I should just go and get for the rest of the week so I don’t have to disturb him all the time even if it would be for just a week but it is never wise to annoy an old vampire… I don’t think I should change just to get blood so I put on a robe and went out back and decided to check the house on the right since it was that side that he and his gang came from. I was at the door and was about to knock when I was hit with the thought that he would not be awake because the morning sun was peeking out but the door opened on its own accord so I entered, thinking it’s an invitation of some kind and it closed behind me, leaving me in a candlelight room with blacked out windows to block out the sun, I was so lost with exploring that I forgot why I came and whose house this was and I did not see the silhouette shaded by shadows until he moved so he was caressed by flames and I could see him. “did you think I would be dead like the rest of my kind?” “to be honest, I did not think of that until I was at the door but I am glad that you are awake because…” gosh I can’t just tell him because I am thirsty and need blood, did the headmaster even talk to him? I hope so “well? Because…?” “erm I erm, well you see the headmaster said that I should come to you for erm…” “aah yes, come and I will get you a bottle and I will also give you my spare key so you can get blood whenever you want” while he moved I saw that there are no lights on but candles only “are your lights not working?” he smiled and shook his head “is there something wrong with using candles for light?” “no… it’s just that we do have electricity these days…” “well bright lights tend to be too intense for our eyes so why not use candles instead?” I didn’t think of that, gosh being alive vampire sure does have a lot of advantages and I can't wait to see if I change into a dragon, that would be awesome but I need to know more… speaking of… “did you get into contact with the dragon…” he glanced at me and frowned “I heard everything you said so I know that you are a dragon shifter… and I know your parents do not want you learning anything about dragons if they can help it so before I contact him, I need to know if you are serious about going against your parents’ wishes” “well that’s a loaded question but I... this is my life and at the end of the day, I will have to live it and since I am already a vampire, I just cannot see myself push away a part of me while embracing another part, I cannot just pretend to be human the way my parents want and have been doing for however long; even if I was not a vampire or mated to a demon, I would not have wanted to suppress my dragon but I am a vampire and mated to a demon so yes I am serious” he nodded “I will contact him in a few hours, dragons are day hunters, mostly so if you ever need to find a dragon, go out in the day or find a vampire that can be awake in the day, they might have a dragon contact” I was a bit nervous to actually meet up with another dragon other than my parents but not as nervous to cancel the deal. Azrael gave me a bottle and then showed me the way out and gave me a spare key “I will see you tomorrow Ariella and I will hopefully have my friend over” I was turning away when he said the last “I thought we cannot have visitors…” “we can’t but my friend is not just any friend, he is one of the founders of this school” wow that is impressive.

When I got up the next day, the first thing I saw was the empty bottle and I wondered when I finished it? All I remember was coming back home, drinking half a bottle and then I went to sleep and I don’t remember waking later… I got off the bed and was just going to set the bed when I heard a roar and felt a tremor and I ran outside, I saw a shadow fly overhead and heading towards Azrael’s house, oh my word, his friend is here now! I should get ready. I rushed upstairs to shower and change then went down to make something to eat, I made sausages and scrambled eggs with toast and was about to dish out when the doorbell rang and I totally freaked out. I thought they would call me later, not come here, I wanted to go there and maybe get blood and accidently meet him at Azrael's house so I could get it done with but I was not expecting this, I think I stood still for a while because there was a knock and I rushed to open the back door. “sorry, I just finished cooking and I didn’t want to burn… oh hi Azrael…” although I was talking to Azrael, when I saw the guy next to him, I just shut up, he was gorgeous but it was the power vibrating from him that made me want to hide, this guy was not radiating any good vibes at all, it was almost menacing and mixed with anger “hi Ariella, this is my friend Zondel, I told him only that you a vampire and a dragon that wishes to know about your kind, I will leave you both” he nodded at us both and left and although we were not much as friend, I wanted to call him back because I did not feel safe with Zondel.

We walked to the kitchen and I offered him food which he thankfully had because I was hungry and I would not have eaten if he did not, we just introduced ourselves before we ate then kept quite till we finished. “I read your forms when I was called and I was shocked to find you alive” I was shocked “what? What do you mean by that?” “I am not a royal so I did not get all the information about your death but I am an elder so I did hear of it, your parents made it known that you were kidnapped by vampires and killed” “oh then you did not hear the full story, I was kidnapped and missed few weeks of my life that I don’t remember… do you really need to hear all this? Because I am sure my parents would have contacted them after they found me…” “yes as an elder, I have to tell the royals of what I know so I need to know everything before we help you” sigh I am really getting bad vibes off him “ok but let us move to the lounge, this is a long story” we moved to the lounge and I got comfortable “I found out that whoever kidnapped me had erased my mind and dumped me in a graveyard, I was then found by the master vampire of that city and he contacted the vampire council and I was given to master Hunter and he not only is my master but as I’m under 20, he is my guardian. He sent me to a supernatural school when I got kidnapped again but by a demon, he decided to mark me as a mate and sent me to this school, it is the most detailed in a short version that I could manage” “that is quite a lot for you to go through at such a young age as well, does your parents know all of this? And who is your mate?” “my parents found out only recently and my mate is Baal, he is second in command next to the king” I saw his eyes widen and I saw anger and defeat before he drew his eyes away and I was not sure why… he sighed and stood up “we normally do not let you abominations of our kind live but we also do not wish to start a war with the vampires and demons… you will be presented to the council and you better cower before them like the filth you are” he sneered and I found myself not so much as surprised as angry but I would deal it out with the council since they are the ones that make the rules and behaviours of the people.

I was not happy with this meeting that I had with this Zondel guy but I at least I know I would get to meet the council and I also know I have the advantage of having the vampires and demons at my back but I need to call my parents and find out why I was listed as dead, not undead or vampire but dead and why they did not change it and what they would have done to me if I did not have ties to the vampires and demons… but first I have to get to school, the meeting and thinking took up too much time and I need to get to the traveller's post before they leave me. I ran so I made it on time and saw that Azrael and Fabien were not here and was about to comment but we blinked out and entered school and the traveler blinked away before I could say anything and the group dispersed so I just went my way, I am sure they will find a way to get to school and Azrael might be caught up with Zondel.

My first class is math’s and I was actually excited and I was confident on making a friend today until I saw the stares and remembered that they all thought that I’m a human and a vampire wannabe, I wish I no longer cared what they thought and I didn’t even get a chance to talk to Jordana to find out ideas on what to do… I just have to ignore them and if anyone wants to be friendly then I will be friendly to them but the others… I will just be polite and distant. I went to sit at the front of the class but it was all filled so I moved to the back of the class before the teacher got to class and again I just could not ignore the stares! I wonder what they would do if I drink blood in front of them and finish the bag… sigh, maybe I should just let the secret out and just ignore any complicated questions and make it known that not even I know the answers to most of them, I could also get help from others that are secretly hybrids too or know of them or just any clue. Class was actually a bore today, we had to read through our textbook the whole period and I just could not concentrate, I need to phone my parents and tell them that I would be meeting the dragon council and to give me any information they have, people always say that the more information you have, puts you one step closer to your goal but damn my parents are going to be so angry and stubborn because I went against their wishes to suppress my dragon and they won’t hear me out until after they give me a lecture and they will make me feel guilty too, hoping that will change my mind but even if that is so, it is not up to me anymore because the council already knows about me and sometimes ignorance is not bliss, well at least it is in my case… there is just so many questions unanswered that could impact me negatively but hopefully positively and if the dragon council or whoever else can give me some answers or research then it is worth the dangers it could bring and as that dragon said, I have vampires and demons backing me so it would not be wise to start a war over a little disagreement on whether I’m an abomination or not, and really, it is not like dragon shifters or any other supernatural are not abominations in the eyes of humans… well most of them.

I was shocked to hear the bell ring for second class and just my luck, we had boxing class and I really think I will suck and with me not being able to concentrate, I will probably be hitting the floor for the whole period. Stanley taught us a few moves with his assistant which was actually a student from the fourth year then we had to practice and luckily he put us in groups with those that are around the same size, we had to change partners every ten minutes or so and luckily my concentration was spot on and I was enjoying this class, my gosh, who knew I would actually love school so much for the classes, I just need to make a few memorable best friends and I would have the perfect high school experience even if it is not the same high school classes as my previous human school and of cause I already have my prince charming… well, actually I think the bad boy would be appropriate in his case although he is kind of a forbidden affair since we can’t actually meet up until my training to become an assassin is done.

When the break came about, I decided to buy food and blood and sit in the cafeteria and hopefully, someone will call me to join them, I just hope I would get a chance to though because Azrael might just call me before anybody else thinks to ask.

School was great and there was no distraction like I thought because every class was just so much fun that you could hardly think of anything. I did not manage to make friends because as I thought, Azrael and gang sought me out and dragged me away but I saw a few smiles among the glares and disgusted faces and I think they were human so it would be easier to make friends with them. I still have yet to be contacted to meet and greet the council of dragons and call my parents but it would be soon and I did not see Fabien again for a while and it is making me nervous, so I plan to visit my other neighbour soon to apologise and hopefully befriend again.
