Adrian POV.
Kaiden is shifting, her eyes turned purple, but she woke up feeling sick, I took her out, it’s what we are supposed to do when the little start to show signs of shifting. I told Anastasia that I could handle it, I thought I could until Kaiden started to scream in pain, until she blacked out in my hands.
That never happened before, I know shifting hurt, but not that badly, I was losing Kaiden, she’s burning up but had no fever, she’s screaming in pain but I couldn’t do anything to help her with the pain, even when I tried to talk her out of it, to tell her she could do it, but my words didn’t help, Kaiden blacked out.
My dragon wanted to take charge to burn the whole school down, to scream and mourn his little but I had to pull him back, she’s not dead, she can’t be dead, she’s having some difficulties. Some subs do die while shifting, but my Kaiden won’t be another one of those small statistics, I had to do something, to get help but my dragon was refusing to let anyone get close to her. If we don’t she’s going to die! I yell at myself, my dragon is strong, but I’m stronger, we went through so much together, we went through losing our little brother, we went through the pain and the fire.
When I missed a year of school, I went back home to help my brother, my little brother who was going through his first shift, my good for nothing parents couldn’t help him, I was called back home. I couldn’t help baby brother, Isaac died while shifting, not before his dragon tried to do one last appearance, that how I almost lost my sight. The memories came rushing toward me, I could remember that night, when he was sitting between my arms same way Kaiden is right now, but my brother was a dominant, his dragon did a final goodbye, a sand dragon, he blew sand toward me, blinding me, my dragon reacted blowing fire toward him.
I shouldn’t have done it, but our dragons took control trying to keep us safe, Isaac saw me as a threat, my dragon didn’t react well to being attacked, fire and sand, they mixed together creating glass, a glass casket around my dead brother. The pain was too much, it took me time to recover, it took me time to come back to school, but now I’m in the same position again, but I can’t let Kaiden get hurt, I pushed my dragon down.
I ran inside calling for Anna, Levi, Julius, anyone who could help me right now, she can’t die, I’m not letting that happens. They all came running, this is bad, Kaiden heart beat is hardly there, her body is running cold, the heat is going down, she’s turning cold.
“She was shifting but she said it hurt” I say not knowing what to do anymore.
“She’s gone” Levi says.
“She’s not! She’s still alive! Help her!” I say hot tears going down my face, she can’t be gone, she can’t die, I won’t allow it.
“She’s hardly there Adrian, she’s dying” Anastasia says.
“Help her” I demand.
“We can’t help her Adrian, her dragon isn’t strong enough” Julius tells me, but she is! She’ll survive for the both of us.
“GET AWAY!” I yell at them, my dragon taking charge, I couldn’t push him back anymore, he’s back in charge. I shifted, I couldn’t help but shift, the pain was way too much, I nuzzled Kaiden’s neck blowing some hot air against her neck trying to make her wake up, she can’t leave me.
A dragon never cries, our human sides do, but not our dragons ones, I looked down at Kaiden, tears running down my face, I cried, my baby is dying, and it’s all my fault. Too angry with myself I start blowing fire up to the sky, a sign of mourning, no one can help her now. Iscreamed looking up at the sky, I growled, I was hurt, I was in pain, I lost mybaby and now the whole world is going to witness my anger. I tried to pull mybaby up from the floor carefully lifting her until she’s on top of my back, Itook off toward the sky, no one can stop me anymore.
