Chapter Seventeen

Life has become much easier since Braith joined the group. She can access areas we can’t and gathers information from her sister, who visits regularly. Wes has informed Ray about Braith’s markings, and he was more than pleased to discover how much she knew about them. However, Ray hasn’t been informed about the Primordial Dragon, as she didn’t feel comfortable discussing it with him.

“Hazel, you’ve barely touched your food.” Rocky nudges my shoulder, pushing my plate closer to me.

“Huh? I was daydreaming.”

Chewing a mouthful of turkey, he smiles, happy to see me eating. Christmas came around quickly, and the school are hiring out the hotel dining room for a Christmas dinner. The tables and chairs have been replaced by long rows of benches and large wooden tables. Red and green decorations are strung up from the ceiling, and a small tree covered in baubles stands in the corner by the door, with empty presents scattered beneath it. Some parents even came along, but not mine. I haven’t heard from Mum in months. Neither has Rocky. We’re both starting to get worried.

Marco’s mood has improved greatly over the past few days, especially after hearing that Drea is doing better than expected and can return to dragon training again. Mason was allowed back into town last week, as he had been given the all-clear by the hospital.

“Guys!” Braith skips over to our table, carrying a tray full of potatoes and vegetables.

The crazy girl squeezes onto the bench in between Marco and me. She wraps her arm around my waist and wriggles her eyebrows.

“Braith, you have friends now?”

A tall woman with thick-rimmed brown glasses approaches us, smiling sarcastically. She’s almost identical to Braith, apart from the fact that her hair is in a long ponytail down to her waist and she has a faded scar on one cheek.

“Olwen, sit down!” Braith cries. “Guys, this is my sister. The scientist.”

Everyone on the table either waves or mumbles hello in between bites. Olwen sits at the end of the table and keeps an eye on her sister while she’s eating.

“These are the people with the markings I told ya about,” Braith shoves some salad in her mouth and rests her head on my shoulder, stroking my hair lovingly. “My future wife is right here. Expect a wedding invitation any day now!”

Rocky rolls his eyes and mutters: “Not on my watch.”

I try to push her away, but she clings to me like glue. I swear she only does it because she knows it annoys me. Yesterday when she saw me in the street she screamed and jumped onto my back, begging for a piggyback ride.

Her sister chuckles. “You say that about every girl you see.”

Braith pouts. “But this one’s for keeps.”

“Do you have markings?” Wes enquires, having forgotten about his food since Olwen arrived.

“No, I don’t.” Olwen points at her sister with her fork. “I only found out when Braith came to me panicking about them. I did some research and sent her some books to calm her down.
