“Wouldn’t expect it from them.”
It was Kaida’s turn to cock her eyebrow at him, “what do you mean?”
“They usually keep to themselves. I don’t think I ever noticed them with someone other than that group in the last few weeks. They don’t let random people into their sanctum, either. I’m surprised they let you.”
Kaida had trouble believing Beckett’s judgment. Not once did the girls ever come off that way to her.Is he trying to sway me from being around the girls? That doesn’t feel like his style…Kaida ignored the comment entirely instead of digging deeper into its meeting.
“What do you need to borrow me for? Or was Remy right, and it’s another session?”
“She was right. It's time for another session.”
“What would have happened if I was still healing?”
Kaida noticed Beckett give her a questioning look, “Then we wouldn’t have had a session today.”
“Theywouldn’t have made me still train?”
“No,” Beckett growled, “I wouldn’t have let them force you to train when you still needed to heal.” Beckett blinked a few times. “How did you heal so fast anyway?”
“We suspect my dragon had something to do with it.”
“Suspect? You mean you aren’t sure?”
“It’s either that or all of their potions and spells.”
Kaida wasn’t sure why, but she did not want to tell the truth to Beckett. While they were talking, she noticed she didn’t feel his emotions or anything like she normally did around him. Beckett felt closed off from her, making her not want to trust him. After all, his friends hated her and almost killed her.
“Let’s get this session over with. Hopefully, I won’t almost die this time.” Kaida laid it on as thick as she could.
There was a flash of guilt across his face. He didn’t say a word. Instead, he gave a small nod, took her by the hand, and started walking toward the beach. Kaida didn’t put up any resistance. She thought about how she wanted this session to go. If she wanted her dragon to emerge fully, she was going to need to know how to access everything to it.
Once they were at the edge, Beckett brought out his wings. Kaida noticed they weren’t very large like other dragons she had seen. Their scales were a gorgeous sapphire blue on top and a lighter ocean blue underneath. They flapped a few times as Kaida wrapped her arms around Beckett’s neck, and then he bent his knees slightly to scoop up her body. Kaida loved the way his arms felt around her. She was surrounded by his scent, and her eyes nearly went into the back of her head as the smell of the wind blowing off the water filled her nose. It was definitely a scent she didn’t think would cause her to bury her face into the crook of a male’s neck, but here she was… doing just that. Beckett let out a throaty chuckle as his wings flapped, and they were thrust into the air.
It took only a minute for them to get to the island. Kaida was too consumed with how much she loved Beckett’s scent to notice anything else. When he lowered her down onto the sand, Kaida turned to see Blaze, Arlo, and Esen staring at them. Kaida felt a growl bubble into her throat, but no sound came out. Blaze looked as though he would love to set her on fire, Arlo looked longingly at them for only a moment before shifting into an annoyed look, and Esen’s gaze was narrow as if he was jealous before looking away at the water. Beckett left her side and walked over to the other three. Blaze smirked as he did, almost like he thought this meant that Beckett was on their side and not hers.
I guess my assumptions were correct. He is closed off because he is more with them.
“Sup, Ground Bound. Ready to fight?” Blaze jabbed at her.
The growl bubbling in her throat returned, but this time it let loose. The sound reverberated inside her chest and was louder than a wave crashing onto the beach. All four of them raised their eyebrows in surprise.
“Oh yeah, I’m ready to fight,” Kaida said back to them.
Kaida felt more confident this time around. Knowing that her dragon had emerged just enough to heal her and now growled at her opponents gave her the boost she needed. Maybe she could unlock her even more to get her magic to work.
Instantly, the boys jumped into starting the session. Blaze threw a ball of fire directly at her chest. Kaida turned to the side to avoid it, but Arlo shook the ground. She was knocked off balance and landed on her back. Kaida rolled to get herself onto her hands and knees. A gust of wind knocked her off balance, making her shoulder land hard on the sand. She felt the grains dig into her skin before she rolled onto her back. The attacks stopped, and she was able to catch her breath.
It would be great if you could come out and show these boys what we are made of!She screamed internally, hopeful that her dragon could hear her.
Kaida got herself back onto her feet. Blaze shook his head as he chuckled. She already knew he was mocking her, and knowing that made her pissed off enough to will her magic to form into her fists. She closed her eyes and visualized purple arcs of light, like she had seen in her dreams, dancing around her hands. Something inside of her snapped. She felt something break inside of her, making her hiss in pain. A surge of warmth and power flooded through her body. When the warmth reached her hands, Kaida felt prickling as if her hands were going to sleep. She opened her eyes and gasped at the sight before her.
Her hands were illuminated in a purple hue and arcs of purple light were coming out of her palms.
She slowly lifted her head as her lip curled into a smirk. Kaida locked eyes with Blaze, and she almost laughed at the look he was giving her. There was no way this dragon ever expected to see what was staring back at him. It was fear in his eyes because Blaze didn’t know how this was possible.
There has never been a purple Storm Dragon. It just wasn’t the color that they came in. Kaida wasn’t a Storm Dragon at all. She was something else entirely.
And we are about to find out.
