Gays and Dragons

Chapter 13 - Wet With Her

"Kate, you won't believe it if I'll tell you about my dream last night." I let out as I jumped on her bed. I'm just so excited to tell her about the dream, no, it was a nightmare.

She lifts her head to look at me, and there, I saw her red puffy eyes. Damn, I almost forgot that that asshole broke her heart. f**k it! I will surely add more injuries to him the next time I will see him.

"What is it?" She asked as she sat up straight and leaned on the headrest.

"Well, uh, I'm sorry in advance if I'm gonna mention the asshole's name about it. But you won't believe how crazy it was." I started and she just nodded her head. She really looked so gloomy as s**t, and she's not the usual happy and ecstatic Kate I knew.

I paused for a while to think about what I was about to say to her. Where should I start? What did happen anyway? How did I get here? What happened on the bus?

Wait for a second... No, that was just a dream. Yeah, that's a dream, and that's what I was about to tell Kate.

"Uh, the... After the... Wait, hold on. I'll try to remember." I stammered and tried to think again.

What did happen on the bus? All I remember was I chased the jerk in the forest and beat the hell out of him. But why can't I remember what had happened after that?

I looked at Kate and she is just staring at me blankly. Her face has no emotions at all.

"Kate, are you okay?" I asked her and she made no response.

"Kate? Hey!" I asked again and tried to touch her arm. And, I'm starting to get worried about her. Is she sick?

"What is happening to you?" I kept asking her and she is just staring at me while not saying anything at all or moving. No, this is bad.

I tried to feel her forehead to check her temperature but I can't feel anything. What the heck is happening?

As the moments passed by, I decided to call her parents who are watching television downstairs.

"Mr. and Mrs. Harvey? Something might be not right with Kate." I said and they didn't even turn their heads on me.

I looked at the TV and it has no show on it. It's just black and white while it's buzzing.

This is not right. What is happening?

Then, I went back upstairs to check in my best friend and she's still there.

"Kate?" I called her out and she's still unmoved.

And, I went near her and touched her shoulder but I can't. Woah! Why can't I touch her? My hand is just passing through her body.

No, don't tell me that I am a ghost? Or Kate is the... No, this can't be.

I could feel my heartbeat is so damn fast and everything around me is starting to get warmer.

Then, I went to the balcony to see the weather.

My jaw dropped with my eyes went wide as I got the sight of the surroundings.

Everything is on fire.

"Oh, my holy cow! Is that a f*****g dragon?" I cursed as I ducked and hid behind the rails.

Fuck! What is happening? Why are there monsters outside?

Oh, no! This is just a dream. A nightmare.

Then, I ran back inside and saw that Kate is not there anymore. Everything is on fire. Where is Kate? Oh God, what is this?

I coughed as I ran back to the balcony. Damn, I need to get out of here.

Then, my eyes widened as I saw a huge dragon is flying above me and about to spit fire at me.

I didn't think twice and I jumped from the balcony, then, closed my eyes. s**t! I don't know if I will still be alive if I'll land. But I think it's better to risk than get burned.

I slowly opened my eyes while hoping that everything will go back in place. I want to wake up on my bed and Mom has already made me breakfast, then, later on, Kate will barge in our house and eat breakfast with me. And finally, we're gonna head to school together.

A bright light made me closed my eyes again and rub them. Then, I moved to my right and I suddenly stopped when I felt that there's someone beside me. I turned to my right and opened my eyes slowly.

Then, I saw the most beautiful creature on earth. Am I in heaven? Am I dead? Why am I seeing an angel? Damn, she looks more gorgeous in daylight.

What am I saying? Where am I?

She has been staring at me and her face crept a smile as she saw that I'm awake.

Now, I can clearly see the color of her eyes. It's light-blue, and they're very beautiful. Those lips are pink and they look so soft. I wonder what it tastes like. Oh mind, please stop these thoughts in this instance.

"Good morning." She greeted me with a smile on her face and about to get up.

"Good morning," I said sleepily and stretched my tired body.

I sat up on the bed a little dismayed because I'm still here. I sighed, and then, I heard somebody fake-coughed.

"Ahem. Aren't you gonna greet me a good morning too?" Chrys asked cheerfully as he's folding his blanket. Then, my hand searched for a pillow and threw it to him straight in the face. Bullseye.

"Hey! You're so mean." He retorted and threw back the pillow at me.

"I lack sleep because you snore like a pig, and you're asking me to greet you good morning? Do I look like I have a good morning? Huh?" I ranted and he's about to say something.

"Well, if I'm the one who got the chance to sleep with a goddess on a bed, I will really have a great morning." He let out and I laughed at it sarcastically.

"Haha. I wish, but if no devil is sleeping below our bed that is snoring like a hungry hippo. That would be so damn great." I countered and he looked surprised. I looked at Mel and she's smiling at us amusingly.

"Oh. Don't worry, I'll ask Vina if I can sleep outside tonight. So, you will have quality time together. You know, just have the whole room by yourselves and do what the other people are doing when they are together alone in a room." He said and about to go outside the room. I swear, this gay will not see the daylight ever again.

"Hey, I was just kidding," I retorted as I got up from the bed.

"My ship is sailing, it is sailing. Through stormy waters. It is sailing." He sang while closing the door and I'm surely going to beat him up later.

I looked at Mel and she's combing her wavy blonde hair with her fingers.

"Why is your face so red, Car? Are you feeling ill?" She asked me with concern and went closer to me to touch my forehead. But, I stepped back and cleared my throat.

"Uh, I'm... I'm fine. I'm not ill. I... Just, uh... I will check the... Uh, the horses outside." I stammered and started to walk outside of the room. Damn it! I can't think and talk straight if she's looking at me like that. What a gorgeous beauty!

"Good morning, Vina. Do you need any help?" Mel asked the busy witch whose slicing some vegetables at the kitchen table.

I went in to look for some water to drink, and I, fortunately, found some.

"Good morning, you two. Yes, I would like to ask you to catch me some fish by the river. And, you can go with Carreon." Vina said and I saw Mel's face lightened.

"Really? No problem. That's easy." She replied and about to walk out of the kitchen.

"I just want to know if you have mastered your skills in archery. The things you need can be found behind the front door." She said and I was curious. She's gonna catch a fish with a bow and arrow? I wanna see how is it done.

"And, Carreon, where's Chrysler? Tell him to bring me some firewood." She asked and I nodded as a response.

"Let us go, Car," Mel called me excitedly.

Then, I saw Chrys checking out Lera and Reo, then, I told him what Vina wanted.

"Where are you two going on a date?" He asked with a grin on his face. I really want to erase his lips from his face.

"We're gonna go fishing," I answered and jogged to catch up with Mel who’s heading to the near river.

"Wow! I'm envied. That's so sweet." He teased and I just waved him bye with a middle finger.

"Vina is the one who trained me to use weapons. She's not just a witch but also my trainer. Because she wants me to learn to protect myself." She explained while searching for something in the water.

She's somewhat like me. I was trained by my dad in martial arts. He has done that so that I can protect myself from danger especially if he's not around. I just miss him so much. He left us when I was twelve years old, and he never got the chance to see me achieving my black belt in karate.

"Can you teach me how to use one?" I asked her and she aimed for a big fish near a rock.

"That would be my honor, Car. Now how are we going to get that fish?" She said and asked. I looked down and to see that she freaking hit the big fish. It's carp.

"Wow! That's so big. I will go into the water." I stated and I'm about to step into the waist-level water when she stopped me.

"Wait. Your wound will get wet. Let me get it." She insisted but I got my ways. I want to swim in this river since it's so clear and so clean.

"Vina! Is it okay if I wet my wound with water now?" I yelled a little bit loud and listened for a moment. When no one answered for three long seconds, I whispered a soft 'yes'.

"You heard that? She said yes." I said and she's shaking her head.

"I didn't hear any." She replied while chuckling and went into the water with me.

---

"Hey, I guess you don't have the plans on getting out of the water. Let me get the fish. The witch is waiting patiently." Chrys said as he picked up the fish on the rock on the side of the river.

Mel and I are enjoying swimming and I'm teaching her how to swim and to float on water.

Then, I splashed some water at him playfully and he just dodged it.

"Why don't you join us? It's fun." I said to him and he acted like he's thinking.

"Hmmm. No, I don't like a threesome. Just enjoy there, it's gotta be your first time." He answered and I just gave him a middle finger.

He's not annoyingly perverted, isn't he? I bent down and searched for something under the water. Then, he jogged to the house afraid that I'm going to throw him a stone. I really have one on my hand right now.

"Alright, try again. Remember to relax your whole body and feel the water." I said to my trainee and she laid down on the water slowly. I supported her back and her head, then, I told her that I'll slowly let go.

"Flap your feet alternately and move your arms gently. Feel the water." I instructed her and she's a fast learner.

"I did it, Car. I'm floating. I can float!" She said excitedly like a kid that received her most desired gift.

Then, I was shocked when she suddenly jumped at me and hugged me tightly.

"Thank you so much!" She let out and I patted her back.

She's really making me feel weird. My stomach is doing shits every time I got physical contact with her, or whenever I can see her. That doesn't mean anything bad, right?

"You're welcome. Now, try again. You need to practice more often so that you can master it." I stated and she did it again and this time she can swim a farther distance.

"Hey, Lovebirds, breakfast is ready!" Chrys shouted from a distance while forming his hands a heart-shape. Remind me to smack his head later.

"Okay, we're coming," I answered and I asked Mel to get out of the water.

---

"Vina, I already know how to swim and to swim backward, and lying on the water." She told Vina excitedly while we are eating our breakfast.

"That's great! I guess Carreon is a very good teacher." Vina said and Mel started talking about how will she teach me about archery. She also told me that she will teach me how to use a sword.

And, our breakfast was startled when we heard commotions outside the house. Our horses whined and Chrys said that it saw someone or another horse.

The sounds of running horses are approaching near the house. And, Mel stood up and I noticed that she's a little bit nervous.

Vina stood up and peeked by the window to see if who have arrived.

"Palace guards," Vina said and Mel immediately went to the bedroom and called me.

"Hide me, please. I need to hide. Where, where, where? Oh, under the bed. This will do." She said nervously and I'm getting nervous too. Why does she need to hide?

"Uh... Why do you need to hide?" I asked her curiously while she tried to crawl under the bed but she can't fit.

"They should not see me. Please, help me. If they come in looking for me. Tell them that I’m not here. Please, Car. I need your help." She told me and begged.

Alright, I don't know why she's so afraid of those people outside, but I'll help her.

"Okay. I guess you can hide behind those curtains." I suggested while pointing near the window and she hurried in there.

And, I was surprised when someone banged on the door. s**t, I should be ready with at least something to hit them if ever they are bad people.

I grabbed the lamp and took out my lighter. If they make a wrong move, I will break this and I will let its fuel burn on their faces. But if they're not moved by it, I will be forced to use my skills.
