Chapter Twelve

Arthur

While I try to figure out what the hell is going on, I lay on my couch, staring up at the ceiling, the back of my right hand resting on my forehead while my left arm hangs off the side.

Scarlet has just called me, asking to come over to talk about everything so far. I have no idea what she’s going to say, but I know at least the types of questions she’s going to ask me.

There are very few times I’ve considered myself truly anxious. Now is one of those. My inner dragon keeps squirming in my gut, growling and making me feel like vomiting. Every time I feel some puke coming up, I spit a tiny flame into the air and watch as it evaporates. Am I really feeling this sick to my stomach worrying about what might happen tonight? Everything could change once Scarlet walks through my front door, and everything could change again when she leaves. Or if she leaves. Or maybe we’ll leave together.

If I don’t play this right, I might lose Scarlet forever.

Clenching my teeth in an ugly smile, I glance over at the clock on the wall. The hand is ticking away without a care in the world for my worries. It’s nearly been an hour since she called. Any longer and I’ll assume she decided to simply not come. That sleep was more important than anything else right now. I won’t blame her.

But then my phone vibrates on the table next to the couch, and I reach over to scoop it up. I’ve got one message, and it’s from Scarlet. She says she’s here, at the entrance to the complex.

Rising to my feet, I smooth back my hair and walk to the door.

The trip down is just a minute or two, and when I arrive, I step out into the hallway, brushing Scarlet’s shoulder. We both do a double take, but then I smile while she looks away. I hold the elevator door open.

“I thought you’d be outside,” I say.

“No, it’s a bit chilly out there…figured I’d wait here.”

“So that I would walk out, bump into you, and you’d have an excuse to naturally start talking to me? A bit romantic, don’t you think?”

She frowns, though her cheeks burn. “Whatever. You never gave me your apartment number. Come on, let’s go.”

She shuffles past me, and I step back with a grin. We shoot up to my floor.

We’re silent again until we step inside my apartment and I shut the door. Scarlet stands awkwardly in front of my couch, gazing around.

My voice jolts her in place. “What did you expect? Some sort of cavern? A dragon’s den with chewed up human bones?”

“What? No! Of course not.”

Laughing, I pat her on the shoulder and move to stand in front of her. Her eyes never leave mine. “I’m just kidding, Scar. It’s okay to be a little afraid. It’s natural for humans, right? Human beings got to this point by being afraid and working to overcome those fears.
