Chapter Sixteen – Magnus

“I like your family.” It was late afternoon and they were driving back to Fara’s house.

After leaving Sapphi’s house, they had returned to Ruby’s home. There they quickly updated her father about what happened at the museum, before Ruby hastily packed for their trip.

“I’m glad.” Ruby checked the rearview mirror and pressed her foot down on the pedal that made her car go faster. He still had not got used to the speed of these mechanical beasts.

“Are you running from something?” Magnus asked. His mate fascinated him, she was a complex mixture of emotions. Like gunpowder, he was never sure when she might spark and fizz and bang.

“That obvious?” Ruby asked with a sigh. “Knowing my mom the way I do, she’s not going to be happy about all this. I don’t need an interrogation right now. She still thinks Sapphi and I are kids. “

“You always will be to her. First, because she’s your mother, and second, because she’s been alive for so long. This world I’ve woken into is strange, I can’t imagine what it must be like for Fiona to have lived through all of those changes. Every step in human development, from horse-drawn wagons to cars. And this internet and computers. Clouds that are invisible.”

“When you put it like that.” Ruby stopped at a road junction and then followed the signs toward Wolf Valley. “I don’t want her to stop us from going. On the other hand, I don’t want her to confront Thorn while we’re gone. My mom is not exactly the kind of person to sit back and let things go.”

“Thorn is not yet a threat,” Magnus reminded her.

“I know. I wonder if I should have kept quiet about him.” Ruby’s forehead creased, and she rubbed her temples. She looked tense. Because of him. Magnus wanted to melt away her worries and fears.

Muttering a silent curse, he focused his mind on the wisps of memories that floated around in his head. If only he could catch hold of one and follow a trail to the rest of them. It would sure beat traveling halfway across the world to visit another dragon.

They reached the farm. Fara’s truck was gone, she must have already left for Sol’s house. They got out of the car and walked to the front door together, grateful for this short time alone. “I’ll leave a note for Fara. And the money your father gave me. Which I will repay in full.”

Ruby stood on the porch and looked out across the mountains. “We have a few hours before we can leave. Why don’t we eat and chill for a while?”

“Chill? You want to be cold? I thought a dragon would like to be hot.”

“Chill. Relax.” With an amused expression, she followed him into the house, which was unlocked.

“Oh, relax.” Magnus closed the door behind them. “That sounds like a good idea.”

“What does an old dragon like you do to relax?” she asked, running her hand along the back of the sofa as she entered the sitting room.
