Kaiden POV.
I don’t feel well at all, I woke up with a stomach ache, I’m too hot but daddy had so many layers on me, I tried to push the onesie off me, but it’s up to my neck and I can’t reach the zipper, I also had a blanket covering me. I started to whine, kicking both my feet trying to get it off me, daddy must have woken up with my whining and crying, he got up rubbing his eyes, and getting me out of the crib.
“What’s wrong princess?” he asks, while I just cry and kick. Daddy takes my onesie off me, finally letting me breathe, next he took the diaper off too, now I’m really better, he got a baby wipe cleaning me, I loved the cold feeling on my burning body.
“Is that it, my princess? You needed a change” daddy cooes at me, before setting another diaper on me, that when the cries and screams started again, it’s too warm, I don’t want it.
“Kaiden” Daddy says in a firm voice, trying to get my legs to stop kicking over and over again.
“Hot! Hot!” I tell him, he doesn’t try to dress me again this time, instead, he gets a thermometer placing it in my ear checking my fever. When it beeped he took it out of my ear and checked it, he looked at it and shook his head. He touched my neck and face, where I was burning up but he just shook his head again, daddy is crazy, but his hands are cold, I hold them closer to my body enjoying the cold feeling.
“You’re burning up but got no fever” he says, he went to his nightshade getting his glasses on his face along with his phone, he calls someone.
“Hey, sorry to disturb you, but I need help here” daddy says ending the call. Few minutes later, Anastasia came in our room, she didn’t even knock, just walked in, she went straight toward me, she touched me like daddy did, checked my temperature again and turned to my eyes, opening them with a bit of force.
“She’s shifting” Anastasia says, I’m what? I look at daddy with teary eyes this time, I don’t get it, I just feel sick.
“Your dragon is coming out to play pidge” daddy says, picking off the bed and walking out with Anastasia, we went to the same place we went to when daddy showed me his dragon, it was all dark, I couldn’t see a thing. Being afraid of the dark too didn’t help, I clanged closer to daddy scared, his hand went to my back petting it helping me calm down.
“I’m here, I’m here pidge” daddy says.
“Do you need me to stay?” Anna asks us, I shake my head no the same time daddy says no, this is our moment to bond, she can’t stay here with us.
“Okay, Kaiden, don’t be scared, daddy is right here, you’re going to shift” daddy says, that made me smile, although I’m really tired, but I’m going to shift finally! I tried to do as daddy said, I tried to focus on my dragon side to let it out, but it hurt everything in me hurt, all my bones, my head, my ears were having this ringing in them.
“Adrian it hurt” I scream, it all hurt so badly.
“It’s okay honey, you can do it” Adrian tells me.
“I can’t it hurt, it hurt” I say screaming again, the agony taking over my body, I felt like I was on fire, like I’ve been thrown in the middle of a fire.
Adrian tried to talk to me, to tell me it’s okay but I couldn’t stop screaming my dragon was hurting me, why is she hurting me, I loved her, I wanted her to come out. But this hurt too badly, a bit too much, that was my last thought before I blacked out.
I dreamt, in my dream I saw my dragon, I ran after her, lately every time I see my dragon we play together, every time she’s here she’d get close to me, but not tonight. Tonight I felt weak, I felt sick, I couldn’t run after it, I had no energy. I sat on the ground and began to cry, why my dragon is acting like that, it hurt. I began to cry, to sob loudly not caring anymore, everything in me hurt, and I’m too tired, maybe I should just take a nap.
