Matthew was lucky to have spotted Arielle when he did. Flying over Gilcurry took time and was annoying as hell, but it was the only way he felt useful while they searched. Stefan was being a dick, and Adam was acting like he didn't care that she was gone.
Arielle had vanished into thin air. The cameras weren't working yet, but there was no other scent at the house, but hers. If she'd left through the front door, someone would have seen her. None of her neighbors did, though. No one saw a dragon in the sky, or the princess on the move either. Stefan kept saying that there was nothing for them to do except go door to door. He was convinced that the man who tried to take her at the party had succeeded. Still Matthew, remembered the look in her eyes. He had seen that desire to flee, staring them all in the face.
Arielle had done this on her own. And when he saw her, sneaking back over the border coming into Gilcurry, he just about lost his mind.
He hit the ground, still in his dragon form and shifted quickly, despite the pain he was feeling from the overly rapid movement. While he got dressed, furiously yanking on the clothes he carried in his claws while flying, Matthew berated her for what she was thinking. After he called Stefan to tell him that he'd found her and that they were on their way back
Then, she turned around and the look in her stunning blue eyes almost brought him to his knees. The shock and trepidation in her eyes surprised him and he moved without thinking. Arielle was in his arms, his heart racing, and he didn't want to let her go.
He held her there, trying to assure himself that she was okay. Reminding himself that she wasn't harmed and that she was a job, a mission, slipped his mind when he had her there.
"You scared me," he said quietly. "You can't do that, not if we're expected to keep you safe."
Arielle sniffed, not saying anything as she kept her head pressed against his chest.
"Let's go," he said when he was finally calm enough to release her from his hold. "We need to get you home, where it's safe."
He pulled her along, expecting her to argue and refuse to go, but she went along with him.
"Why did you do it?" They were halfway to the center of town before he asked, and he almost didn't expect a response.
When she spoke, her voice didn't hold the same disdain that she'd had before. It was like she lost that part of her spirit, and that made him angry for an entirely unknown reason.
"Have you ever been to the human realm?" She sidestepped his question with one of her own, and Matthew had the sudden image pop into his head of her playing chess. He had no doubt that she'd be adept at it. Most likely, she'd wipe the board with all of them, keeping a smile on her face while she did it.
