Chapter 19 –The Transfusion

When Minx and the gargoyles were settled before a fire, I washed myself and changed into Fitzray’s clothes. I struggled to walk in the long sweatpants, but they were warm and gave me comfort in more ways than one. I returned to Minx and he made room for me to sit beside him on the plush carpet. He pressed me to his body and something dropped onto my shoulder. It was wet. I looked up to see my dragon’s eyes were filled with tears and that his face was wet.

“I’m sorry I disobeyed you. I’m sorry I didn’t come soon enough,” he whispered.

He pressed his nose to my hair and sighed. He straightened himself up eventually, clearing his throat and held my Dragon’s Soul in his talon with a smile.

“A Dragon’s Soul can be a weakness when someone uses it against you. It is only a weakness if it was not intended by the dragon’s owner to have it touched. However, if you allow someone to touch your Dragon’s Soul, that is different. You will feel a new strength, a great connection with whomever you choose to open up to. I can feel the difference between the two. I will always come if I feel you are in danger.” Slowly he dropped the silver dragon and I kissed his nose.

“Thank you Minx. I am going to sleep.”

He nodded his head. “Good night Mistress. Sleep well.”

I went upstairs, retreating to the master bedroom. It was here that I felt comfort, readying myself to sleep. I rested my head against the pillows and closed my eyes. I was just about to fall asleep when the bedroom door opened quietly.

“Chenille?”

I turned over slowly and sat up. I couldn’t see anything, when suddenly a candle was lit, illuminating Pete’s face. I did not say anything to him as he moved onto the bed and hugged me tightly. His hand stroked my hair and he slowly rested me against the headboard.

“Are you ok?” His words hung in the air and I still couldn’t speak. I only shook my head and looked down. “What did he do to you?” His fingers pressed my chin so I looked up at him.

“Minx will tell you.”

He closed his eyes, rubbed them, and took off his cape. “What did he do?”

“How is your heart?” I cut in, feeling anxious and suddenly upset.

He loosened the first buttons on his shirt to show me, and then looked back at me, pressing the more important issue. His arms held me in place and he looked down at me with concern and affection. “What did that immortal do?”

“Just tell me you will destroy him. Tell me you will not have mercy for what he did.”

“What did he do?” His hands squeezed my arms, as though he tried to get the words out of me that way.

“He touched my Dragon’s Soul. He would have killed Minx.”

“What else?” He studied my shaky breathing, how I was on the verge of crying, which only made him confused and angry.
