Chapter 15

Isola

“Bee?” I ask as I shut the door behind me and look at the empty place in the pillow, balancing my tray of food. I nearly drop the tray when I see the plant, well, now mini tree, in my room. What was the small plant from my class, is now a blue tree with long leaves. There is a pod hanging from it, and the pod has a door. An actual door, do I knock?

“Isola, I was just thinking–“ Thorne says, coming into the room and stopping to stare at the plant, just as I am.

“What the hell is that?” he asks, quickly shutting the door behind him. I sigh and put the tray on my bed, knowing that I’m going to have to explain the tree spirit. I look at Thorne, who is watching me with surprise, and I wonder if I can trust him. I guess he has given me no reason not to.

“My tree spirit, Bee, must have made it grow and made herself a house by the looks of it,” I say and Thorne couldn’t look more shocked if he tried. “Honestly, I don’t know. I’m thinking about knocking on the plant door, but that sounds bloody weird,” I say, and then laugh a little. I start shuffling on my feet when it’s silent between us for a long time, to the point of getting awkward.

“Thorne, are you okay?” I ask him, and he narrows his eyes at me. I step back as he walks over and grabs my hand, turning it over to see the tree mark.

“Why does it have to be you, fucking you, of all people,” he growls, staring at the mark like his eyes could burn it away.

“Thorne?” I whisper, feeling like anything I may say could set him off right now. I don’t know why he is so angry, but his hand is warming up and getting hot enough to burn anyone but me. When he looks up to meet my eyes, his are black. His dragon is in control.

“Thorne? Snap out of it, whatever this is,” I tell him. He just growls at me, making me jump and try to move away, but his grip on my hand makes that impossible.

“You can’t tell anyone about this, no one, Isola. I mean it,” he says suddenly as he drops my hand. He seems to talk to his dragon before they fade away.

“Mine,” my dragon whispers in my mind, in such a silent whisper that I almost miss what she says.

“You can’t have every damn hot guy here, get over it already,” I whisper back and glance up as Thorne’s eyes turn back to normal.

“My dragon thinks this puts you in more danger,” he explains, like it makes up for his behaviour. It’s all confusing, when he shouldn't care, let alone his dragon.

“Korbin knows about my spirit, but no one else,” I tell him, and he walks around me, looking at the pod hanging from the blue tree.

“I’ve never seen a light one.
