Chapter 14

Mandy

The ride back to the North Pole was difficult and painful. Palo went as fast as the reindeer would take him which meant Rock and I rolled around a lot in the back. Each time I moved a burning pain shot up my back and I couldn’t hold back my whimpering.

I had never felt pain like this before. It had to be pretty bad and I was afraid Lizzie wouldn’t be able to heal me.

Jax sat in the front with Santa and kept a worried eye on me the entire ride.

No one said a word until we landed.

“Jax, thank you for finding Mandy and taking care of her. At least one dragon is decent.” Rock stated just before he hauled me out of the sleigh.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t keep her from getting injured. I really did try.” Jax replied.

“Mandy!” Lizzie screamed as she ran out of the house.

“Rock, take her to the dining room and put her on the table. What happened?” Lizzie’s worried face never left mine as we made our way to the dining table.

“The dragon who took her burned her with his fire. I don’t think he intended to hurt her, he just couldn’t control his rage and the fire came out. Thankfully, Mandy was off to the side and didn’t take the full brunt of the fire.” Rock informed Lizzie of how I was injured and everything that happened before we left.

When I looked into Rock’s eyes I could see his pain. He was very worried about what might happen to me, as was I. I knew from watching Lizzie heal others this was going hurt…a lot.

“Hold her down, this is probably going to be almost as bad as the injury itself.” Lizzie said.

I howled as she used her magic to heal my injuries. She was right, it almost hurt more than being on fire. The sinews of my body were stitching themselves back together and my back itched as it burned. I didn’t know if I wanted to scratch myself or role around in sand to put out the fire I felt creeping along my spine.

My pack howled in response to my pain. Sounds of support echoed around in my head and I wished I would pass out so I didn’t have to experience this pain.

What seemed like hours, but was more likely minutes, passed before I began to feel the embers die away and a cool wisp of magic slowly envelope my body. The cool kiss of my sisters healing powers was like a drug and my muscles slowly relaxed.

I knew I’d be able to shift back into my human form once Lizzie was done. All I wanted was to take a hot shower and go to bed as soon as I shifted.

“Hey, how are you feeling?” Lizzie leaned over my wolf shape and looked into my eyes.

I licked her face before I began to shimmer and my human form appeared. Naked as a blue jay. Rock took a blanket from the couch and covered me while Jax turned away.
