Chapter 15

I almost trip as I run out the back door of the house, off the deck, and onto the grass toward my dragons.

I know they told me to stay here, to stay safe, but I can’t. Not when they’re all in danger. Not when I might be able to help.

That stupid contract. I saw the fairy hold it up and knew that either they were in league with Lee or they were tricking him as well all along.

But when Lee showed up by Seth, looking utterly cold despite what just happened, I guess I got my answer.

“Wait!” I yell out, running past fallen dragons, though I badly want to check on all of them, make sure they are okay. I hate myself for being human at this moment, for not being able to do anything for them.

The fairy turns to me, and those haunting, huge dark irises make me feel frozen in place. He’s nothing like I pictured. He’s scary, and though he’s not exactly ugly, there’s something about him that just really repulses me.

Maybe it’s the fact that he hurt my friends. Yeah, probably that.

“What do you want, human?”

“Take me with you. Just take me and leave them alone. I’ll go with you.”

The fairy’s eyes glimmer as they narrow. “I was going to take you anyway. What are you offering?”

“I’ll make it easier on you,” I say. “Look at Seth. He could go off on you right now, and we’d all be toast. But this way, I’ll just go with you. We’ll all be fine.”

The fairy eyes Seth warily, and I can see that even he doesn’t like the thought of setting off the black dragon, though he seems ready to.

He looks at Lee, who is standing back with folded arms. Lee is wearing a blue robe that’s darker than his swirling blue eyes. His black hair still glints with little bits of dark blue, even though it’s short.

His face is still as handsome as I remember it, but right now, those perfect lines are set in cruel ways, making him less than beautiful.

He watches me without saying anything, making me even more nervous.

I see Griffin raise his head in my peripheral vision, and his eyes lock on Lee. “Traitor.”

The fairy looks bored and impatient. “Lee, if I take her now, will that satisfy the contract? The deal was you get her here and prove she’s a dragon heart by gathering all the dragons, and I help you with the pickup since you can’t take down all your friends.”

“You have to take Seth too,” I say because I don’t think he will make it if we leave him here. “Take both of us, and we’ll go quietly.”

“I can’t have the black dragon inside my tower,” the fairy says, frowning.

“Lee, please, he’s dying,” I say, going to Seth and wrapping my arms around him. “Please don’t do this. You don’t really want to hurt your friends.”

“Oh no, I do,” Lee says, looking around at the fallen dragons and smirking. “They took everything from me, and now I’m taking everything from them.
