Chapter Thirteen

Seth found Carol arguing with Axel in her apartment. "I worked hard for that car, Axel. I need it."

"You kids and your obsession for vehicles," Axel growled. "You don't see me with a car."

"I can't pop in and out of wherever I want as handily as you. And what did you mean, I hope this works?"

Axel spotted Seth standing in the middle of the room, and he made for the front door. "Fine I'll go see if I can retrieve your Beemer. I'll leave it in your usual garage all right?"

He paused in the doorway to give Seth a grin and a thumbs-up, then he was gone.

"You're all right?" Seth asked.

"No." She rose shakily. "That was an experience. I'm not even sure what happened, but suddenly I was here."

"Safely. Good." Seth crossed the room and checked the locks, but Axel had magicked them shut behind him. "I don't want you to stay here."

She gave him a confused look. "I live here. What are you talking about?"

"I want to take you far away from here. There are other cities in this human world still, aren't there?"

"Plenty, but I don't want to live in any of them."

"You'd be safer if you let me take you." If he could get her to a place where the Order didn't have a stronghold, he could protect her better.

"What about my grandmother and Shaiming?"

"They can come, too."

Carol went to him. the flame of her wrapping itself around his senses. He knew she'd try to persuade him to leave her alone, but she didn't understand that her brown eyes and flowerlike scent made him want to protect her all the more fiercely.

"Seth, our entire lives are here. Ming Ue's is our home, we can't simply abandon it. The Order wouldn't leave it alone if we went."

"You're stubborn like a dragon."

"If I run away, then they win—the Order and the Dragon Master and whoever else wants to kill me. I refuse to let them bully me; I refuse to give up my life for them."

"At least let me take you to Dragonspace until I can slay everyone in the Order. No one will be able to get to you in my lair in the heart of my territory."

"What do I do while I'm there? Count rocks?"

Seth fell silent. He knew the only way he'd get her away would be to surround her in his fire and drag her to Lisa's, so the silver dragon could open the way to Dragonspace.

The idea was tempting, and he didn't abandon it. Carol held his name, and she could compel him to stop anytime she liked, but if he took her by surprise, he might have a chance.

Carol watched him as though she knew what he was thinking. "Don't even try."

Seth made his thought threads innocent, but he couldn't let the idea go. He wanted her safe with a franticness he'd never experienced before.

"Then stay here while I slay your enemies," he said.

"Slay? What's this talk about slaying?"

Seth growled, the dragon in him chafing to fly out and finish them off.
