Chapter Twenty

The Wyverns lap eagerly at the bucket, scattering droplets of water everywhere. It won’t be long until I have to fill it up again.

“Told you they needed it,” Marco says proudly, handing me a steaming hot can of beans.

“I didn’t say it was a bad idea,” I say, my eyes twinkling with mischief. “I didn’t want to go back to that place to get it.”

“Well, we didn’t come across that big dragon.”

“Or the Wyverns. I don’t think they’re happy with us after what happened last night.”

“They’ve still got two days to come around. The WPS doesn’t give up that easily.”

I roll my eyes. “We’re not the WPS, Marco.”

“We are. We’re Aislados now, and they created the WPS. We’re representatives, kind of.”

“So, you wanna go and have debates with Ray?”

“Fuck off, let’s not go that far.”

I laugh and watch Red and Purple bash heads as they try to drink at the same time. “I wonder what he’s up to now.”

“Ray? I dunno. Screaming at someone, probably.”

“He said he’s changed; he doesn’t do that anymore.”

He scoffs. “Yeah right. A tiger never changes its stripes.”

“He apologised. Many times.”

“Because he wants you to feel sorry for him.”

I don’t say anything at first. His apology seemed genuine, but could it have been some way to make me feel sorry for him and join his side? If it is, he’s a damn good actor.

“I dunno. He seemed like he meant it to me,” I sigh, tapping the can with my finger.

“Well, he didn’t. This is Ray we’re talking about. He’s willing to feed you to Wyrms.”

The look of regret on Ray’s face after uttering those words flashes into my mind. I don’t think he’s as on board with the Wyrms plan as he was before. Something has changed. I don’t know what. Despite being covered in those weird veins he seemed…different. Softer; more human. Whenever a Wyrm spoke to him he snapped at them. Maybe he’s starting to doubt his role in this. But he did say that I had to be eaten by the Wyrms to make the world a better place, so maybe he’s not finished with them yet.

“Oh, we have a visitor.” Marco points up to the sky and sits up.

Following his gaze, I spot the familiar shape of Patriarch circling us in the grey sky. He lands next to Green, ignoring her this time. Marine quickly steps out of his body, storming up to me and pointing her finger.

“You have led them!”

“What?”

“Coming for us!” she hisses, baring her teeth. “Coming to get us!”

“What’s she talking about?” I ask Marco, but he shrugs.

“Drea, go do another sweep,” he commands, and the white dragon leaps into the sky.

I shake my head. “I’m sorry, I don’t…”

“Coming. For. Us,” she says. “Humans.”

Shit. The WADT must have found them, or hunters. Neither are good. I suppose, with the number of Wyverns here and the hundreds of people looking for them.

“We haven’t led anyone here,” I argue. “They’ve been tracking you since you escaped the lab. This isn’t our fault.
