Chapter 17 - Sarah

When Rufus and I get to the car, we see it parked haphazardly, the front door splayed open, the engine still running. Rufus chuckles.

“Oh, Officer,” he says mockingly, “that doesn’t look very safe.”

“Oh, shut up,” I say, “I didn’t have any time to lock up when I had to save your stupid life.”

“Are we sure that thing is even going to take us down?” Rufus says, “I mean, what if it runs out of power halfway down and leaves us stranded?”

“Just get in,” I grunt.

I get into the driver’s seat, and Rufus gets in the other one. I snap in my seatbelt and hear him do the same. He shuts up for a moment, and part of the drive is peaceful. We’re about halfway to town when Rufus suddenly snaps again.

“I just can’t believe how irresponsible that was!”

“What?!” I snap back, “Excuse me?!”

“I mean, you’re a human!” he continues, “And you just walked into a fight between dragons?! Do you know how bad that could have gone?! You were probably three seconds from being burnt to death!”

“I don’t know if you noticed, but the fact that he reared back when I shot him is what gave you the chance to end it!” I snap back.

“I could have handled it!” Rufus growls.

“No, you couldn’t! I literally watched you die! Do you have any idea what that was like? I. WATCHED. YOU. DIE!” I slam the steering wheel with my fist in each word. “I had to watch you bleed to death in front of me! And you expected me not to do anything about it?!”

“I mean, do something about it,” Rufus replies, “but don’t make me watch you die!”

“Oh, yeah?” I say, “And what do you suggest I do about it, smart ass?!”

“I don’t know!” Rufus snaps, “Anything else than just blundering into the middle of a dragon fight! Shout or call someone or something!”

“I don’t think you understand what I mean when I say there was no time!” I clap back, “Last time I had a vision, I had a minute to get there before disaster happened! I didn’t have time to call one of the other dragons and hope he gets there before you had your throat bitten out!”

“Wait,” Rufus says, his voice simmering down, “you’ve had visions before?”

I’m panting from the argument—that same heat is crawling up and down me again.

Damn it, why do I enjoy these arguments so much?

The fact he’s now basically naked in my police cruiser doesn’t help either…

I shake my head and try to focus on my beating heart.

“Just one,” I say, “And it was this afternoon, but it was exactly right. So when I watched you die…”

I huff a stressful sigh.

“So when you watched me die, you decided to come join me, I guess,” Rufus says, flapping a hand.

I don’t answer for a second, concentrating as we drive back into town. Once we’re back on a familiar road, I smirk at him.

“You know what it is?” I sneer, “I think you just can’t handle the idea that I saved you.
