The Human's Demon Dragon

Chapter Four

"Ase, do you think Olivia will like me?" Draco asked, slightly pouting his lips as they walked down to the pit.

"If you continue to be charming and kind to her, she will like you." He said with a smile.

"Are you certain? I mean... I hurt her when we first met. I didn't mean to. But I was scared and..." He looked up to see Ase was staring at him. "I'm a monster."

"Little Prince, I believe she has forgiven you for hurting her. It was a mistake, especially since you were scared. And I am sure that you are not a monster based on your DNA. You are a half-breed of demon and dragon."

He continued, "if I am not mistaken, sir, you deeply like Miss Olivia. And suppose you want advice on pursuing them. In that case, I suggest not to ask Emma or me because we are trained to desire only knowledge."

Draco stumped his feet, folding his arms across his chest, and glared up at Ase. "But must have a slight clue on how to pursue?" he asked.

Ase shrugged his shoulders.

"Why is your honesty unbearable?"

"Honesty makes things easier," Ase said with a smirk. "So, you have grown. Now it is time an upgrade your training session and tensely. We should also see if your healing ability is faster."

Draco groaned with slight hesitation and worry. He hated and loved training, but he wanted to spend time with Olivia today. He found her beautiful because of her forest-green eyes and red hair.

Only time will tell if Olivia will like him too.

Indeed, only time will as days pass. Draco had always been proceeding with Olivia in a love interest way. But still, Olivia saw him as a child who became her new friend. And as the days passed, Draco grew with each passing day, and he looked like a teenager. Still, Olivia has not questioned his growth spurt.

"There's a beautiful planet outside, and the ship is stopping for five hours, maybe more for a pickup. You can go to the poolside and see the view," Emma suggested as they glanced over at Draco, who was taught the political and historical events of the world by Ase.

It was boring for Olivia to sit there and watch Draco complaining about history, sometimes poetry. Sometimes, she misses school, and she has not even finished it.

"Is the water warm?" Olivia asked, glancing up at Emma.

Emma smiled and nodded then Olivia stood, catching Draco and Ase's attention. "I am taking Olivia to the pool area to enjoy the beautiful sight of planet R7MJJ07," Emma said, and Olivia waved her hand as they walked out.

"I have a question to ask," Olivia said nervously. "How many days or months in earth time have I been here?"

"In earth years, you have been on this ship for... A year and six months."

"What!?" She gasped.

"You have been here for a year and six months."

"But, but, but..." She glanced around then back at Emma, "I counted close to two months and also... I haven't been having... You know..."

Olivia became silent and stared at Emma tensely. Emma furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "Know what?" Emma asked.

She nervously gulped, glanced over her shoulders before stepping closer to Emma. "My periods..." She whispered, but it still did not make sense to Emma. "My menstrual cycle has somehow stopped!"

"Do you want to have a child?"

"What..."

"As you know, your biological clock still moves even though you are away from Earth. So, you would be aging, but within Genesis, you would be aging rapidly. We thought of helping you and slowing down the effects of space travel. Of course, some of your bodily functions such as menstruation will be halted."

Olivia's lips parted and closed, still confused about everything. So, her body was frozen in time while time still continued? It's confusing, but people would go mad for it and be forever twenty-one if this technology was on Earth.

They walked down the hallway in silence until they reached the pool area. Olivia gasped at the breathtaking sight of the pool area. The entire room was dark, with the only light coming from the red planet. The red world reflects across the clear pool over to the platform.

"A swimsuit is in the changing room. Enjoy," Emma said and walked out.

Olivia shrugged and went into the changing room; she found the swimsuit and hated it. It was a one-piece that she did not mind, but she did not like the deep v neckline.

She wore it, though, mostly because she wanted to swim, and there will not be anyone but herself. She jumped into the warm pool, floated towards the window, and then touched the glass.

She could not believe she had been on this ship for a year and six months. It felt like everything was a dream.

From Ellie's death to meeting a half-demon/dragon prince who was growing within in a blink of an eye then being in outer space. She wanted someone to pinch her to wake up and phone up her friend then tell her about her dream and how was the date.

If only...

Meanwhile, in the study area where Draco was learning more about the kingdoms taught by Ase, he could not think about Olivia. He wondered if she was having fun away from him or if she was safe, or maybe she did not know how to swim.

Worry filled his head as his foot kept tipping the floor, glancing at the hallway where Olivia went.

"Sir, sir, sir!" Ase called out, earning a glare from Draco.

Ase sighed and stood. "Your father was pleased to hear about your improvement and fast progress. He cannot wait for you to arrive home to learn more." He said.

A smile graced Draco's face, hearing praise from his father, but his smile quickly turned to a frown. Ase frowned as well, "what is the matter? Isn't that what you always like to hear?" He asked.

Draco sighed in frustration and leaned back against his seat, "I have not talked to my father all my life. Instead, I am getting messages from you. And why don't I get any message from my mother? Is it because of my father!?"

He lifted his voice as he made his statement. His eyes started to be fiery red, and his fists clenched tight.

Ase was silent, then he cleared his throat, "lessons are over. You may leave."

Draco did not have to be told twice. He jumped out of his chair and headed to the pool area.

Ase sighed softy, slightly shaking his head, and muttered, "feelings will be your downfall, young prince."

Draco ran down the hallway, following Olivia's scent until he reached the pool area. He froze at the spot when he saw her exposed back that faced him. She stood in the pool, staring down the window, unaware of his presence.

His heart began to pace quickly as usual when he was around Olivia. He held his breath as she turned. When her forest green eyes landed on him, a smile graced her soft lips, which knocked the bit of air he had.

"Draco, are you done with your lessons?" She asked as she swam towards the edge.

He remembered to breathe, then cleared his throat and tried to pull his top much lower to cover his active region. He stepped close to the edge and shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah, it was simple stuff." He said confidently, lifting his head.

She chuckled, rolling her eyes, then glanced over her shoulder, "isn't it beautiful?"

He stared down at her, "yes..."

She glanced up at him and chuckled, "the planet."

He shook his head and quickly lifted his gaze, staring out the window at the planet. He tried to keep straight, but a slight blush shade appeared on his cheek. Olivia laughed and swam to the stairs, but she stopped remembering her swimsuit.

"Draco?"

He snapped his gaze down at her, and she smiled shyly. "Can you turn around, please?"

He furrowed his brows at first, then turned to have his back facing her. As Olivia stepped out of the pool, Draco heard the water splash causing him to be more tempted to have a quick glance. He slightly tilted his head, and he tried to glance at her from the corner of his eyes.

He took a sharp breath when he saw Olivia's long smooth legs. He was hooked. His gaze rose to her thick thighs, making him wonder if they were soft. As his eye rose passed her hips, he wanted to grab, to feel her pump breasts that could fit in his hand, which he wanted to try and see.

"OH MY GOD! DRACO, STOP STARING!" Olivia screamed, trying to cover her arms.

"Sorry!" He said nervously as he quickly snapped his gaze away. He felt an embarrassing heat traveling down to his gut. What was worse, this heat felt good, and his desire for Olivia was getting stronger.

He wondered why his body was reacting while he noticed some changes in his body as he grew. Not just his increase in power and strength but his bodily appearance. When he asks Ase and Emma, they just say it was normal.

"Draco?" Emma suddenly appeared in front of him, causing him to jump a bit. "Are you waiting for Olivia, or will you be swimming?" She asked.

"I'm - I'm waiting for Olivia," Draco said in an uncomfortable stammer.

"I believed I heard screaming, but I now understand." She said, her eyes slowly lowered to his area then back up to his face. A questioning brow lifted.

Draco glanced down when he realized Emma was questioning about, his hands quickly covered up. His face started to heat up till it was red, and Emma laughed under her breath.

She approached Draco and placed a hand on his shoulder. "You don't have to be shy about it. It is part of life to be aroused, especially to an attractive female like Olivia."

Draco glared at her for embarrassing him.

"Emma, you're back?"

They both turned their gaze to Olivia as she approached them.

"Yes, I thought you were in trouble, so I am coming to see what the matter was. But I see everything is alright," Emma said, glancing over at Draco then back at Olivia.

A slight blush graced Olivia's cheek, and Draco found it cute.

"Did you have a wonderful swim?" Emma asked.

Olivia nodded, "yes, I did. I won't mind doing something that's a brain teaser, and I am fully clothed." She said, glaring at Draco, who was trying to look innocent.

"Are you sure you want to do that? It's boring. Maybe try doing something for your muscles," Draco said, smirking. Olivia wanted to reject his offer, but he continued to talk, "can you at least try. It may help you protect yourself from danger."

"Why would I be in danger?" She asked, folding her arms across her chest and lifting an eyebrow.

He shrugged his shoulders, and Emma spoke, "you never know, and it would be a good form of exercise. Maybe I can teach you a bit of Prince Draco's home planet next time."

Olivia sighed and hesitantly nodded, "okay..."

Draco grinned widely, grabbed Olivia's hand, and pulled her as he ran out of the pool area. Olivia was surprised how Draco knew the ship like the back of his hand and his energy. She has never seen a teenager that energetic as a child.

A giggle was released from Olivia as they ran down the hallway. There was nothing in their way, just smooth running. She noticed their hands were held together. She glanced up to Draco, who was not paying attention to their hands.

For some reason, she wishes Draco stays this innocent and childish. She hopes that he is always joyful and energetic, but she mostly wants him to be a charming man when he grows up. Well, that may be soon, but she can hope.
