Holly held the little shifter to her chest and rubbed his soft, curly hair. He mumbled a few words, but she couldn’t really understand. She didn’t have to wait long before she heard footsteps on the stairs and a group of women burst into the room.

“My baby!” One of them screeched, pulling the child from Holly’s arms. The woman’s dark hair was piled in curls on top of her head and her pink ball gown made her look like a fairy princess. “You saved my baby.” She kissed the child, then yanked Holly to her feet and kissed her, too, square on the lips. “You’re an angel,” she said.

“Um, no problem,” Holly responded. She didn’t really know what else to say. Anyone would have done the same thing. Anyone would have done whatever it took to save the children of Dragon Isle.

“Those fuckers were going to try to steal all the babies,” the woman said to her friends. “Now come on, let’s get these men woken up.” The women moved into the room and began touching and talking to the dragonmen sprawled on the floor.

Holly wasn’t sure how they were going to get them to wake up, but soon another man showed up who seemed to be a doctor, and he administered an injection to each of the injured parties. Soon, they began to rouse, and Holly stared, mesmerized by the scene unfolding before her.

Colton appeared by her side and wrapped his arms around her.

“You were very brave,” he whispered.

“I could say the same thing about you,” she said. “You took care of the problem?” She asked, raising an eyebrow.

“It’s taken care of.”

She felt relieved. She felt nothing but complete, absolute relief. The man wasn’t going to be a problem anymore. He wasn’t going to go report to his boss that she had been here. He wasn’t going to give away any secrets about the dragons or send anyone to murder Holly when she went home.

She would be able to go back to work, back to her normal life, back to her ordinary world.

But was that really what she wanted anymore?

Somehow, it all seemed so boring.

As the dragonmen began to wake up, they started talking incoherently.

“There, there,” the doctor said. “Just don’t move. Shut your big mouths, all right? Just lay there and rest for a damn minute.”

“Alan,” the woman with brown hair said. “What happened to them?”

“They were drugged, Janae. They’ll be fine.”

“But, what if they aren’t? Will they have long-term memory loss or brain damage or anything like that?”

“They’ll be fine, little human.” The doctor’s voice was gentle as he spoke. Even though he was talking to Janae and not Holly, he calmed her. Knowing he was so certain the men were going to make a full recovery made her feel relaxed.

“Why didn’t they just shoot them?” Janae asked. “I mean, don’t get me wrong: I’m glad they didn’t. Wouldn’t it make more sense, though? Wouldn’t it be easier for them to just shoot everyone?”

“I don’t think the goal was to kill people,” Alan said grimly.
