9 – Oops! How Do We Fix This?

“Now look what you’ve done,” her dragon said. “How are you going to fix this?”

“It was you, not me.” Sasha swallowed hard. This was not the ideal way for Max to discover her other-self. What if he kicked her out of the house? Or worse, tossed her to the tabloid reporters who were baying like the bloodhounds they’d watched on telly last night.

“What was that?”

“Ah…”

Noel appeared behind him. He beamed at Sasha and ran to her, grabbing her around the legs and giving her a big hug. “Shasha scared away bad men. She saved me.”

Max scrubbed a hand through his hair, closed his eyes briefly, then opened them. “I can’t believe I’m saying this,” he muttered. “You are a dragon.”

“Yes,” Sasha said in a small voice.

“A real live dragon.”

“What does he expect? A paper one?” her dragon demanded in a snippy tone. “One of those purple cartoon ones?”

“Yes.” Sasha waited for his next reaction.

“Crap,” Max said. “This is something from the movies.”

“Ah, I’ll make a cup of tea,” Sasha said.

“Why are we doing that?” her dragon asked.

“Because that’s what they do on telly,” Sasha muttered.

“What?” Max asked, sounding confused.

“Sorry. I forgot. I was talking to my dragon.” She was aware Max watched her the entire time until she disappeared into the kitchen.

“Shasha, can I have chocolate?” Noel asked, running after her.

“Yes,” she said, although, given the time, she should decide what to cook for dinner instead of making drinks.

Noel dragged out a chair at the kitchen table and climbed onto it to wait for his hot chocolate.

Max entered the kitchen, determination written on his handsome face.

“Such a pretty face,” her dragon cooed. “He doesn’t look angry.”

No, but he wanted answers. She’d demand answers in the same circumstances.

Max dragged out a seat and picked up the envelope the cops had delivered. He tapped it on the tabletop.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Each successive beat felt like a punishment. She didn’t want to leave. She enjoyed spending her days with Noel and Max’s kisses…well, she’d started to crave them.

“Where do you come from?” Max asked.

“An island called Perfume Isle. It’s part of the Dragon Isles group.”

“Where are they?”

“Off the coast of the mainland. Hundreds of years ago, dragon shifters lived among the humans here in the UK and Europe and farther afield. Humans made it a sport to kill us, and our numbers became drastically low. Our people retreated to the Dragon Isles, and they made a pact with the local druids who had a monastery on Smoking Isle. The druids produced a barrier, which stands between our worlds and keeps us invisible from the mainland. If any of your people venture too close, a sense of dread overcomes them, and they change course.”

Sasha glanced at his impassive face and had no inkling of what he’d do next. She found his lack of expression unnerving and burst into further explanation.

“Somehow, I flew through the barrier. I landed on the beach to orientate myself and discovered Noel. I couldn’t leave a little boy alone in the dark, especially when he was crying.
