Killian could do nothing but watch from his mental prison as the black dragon maintained control, sat up, and tore off the restraints of their human form.
Everyone sprang into action in the room except for Brenna, who never moved. She asked slowly, "Can I talk to the human part of Killian?"
The deeper voice of the black dragon replied, "No. He wants to banish me." The baby dragon pushed into control and his higher-pitched voice growled, "We both want you gone. This is my body."
"I don't understand your last statement. Are you sharing a body?" Brenna asked.
"Yes," the baby dragon answered. "I can't seem to get rid of him and anytime I attack, it hurts our human part."
The black dragon won control again. "You will never be rid of me. I'm stronger and more dominant. Accept that your place is subservient to me."
The two dragon heads snapped at each other inside his mind. Once again his entire body jerked sporadically when they caught each other's throats.
Something pricked his arm and the shaking thankfully ceased. However, the world blacked out again.

As soon as Killian was unconscious once more, Brenna brushed the hair off his forehead. He may be alive, but Killian was on the verge of going insane, provided his dragons' fighting didn't kill him first. No doubt a constant barrage of seizures couldn't be good for his health.
Tristan's voice broke the silence. "I hate to say it, but we may have to lock him up and monitor him as much as possible. One dragon is hard enough to train, but two that appear to hate each other is going to be a monumental task."
Forcing her gaze away, Brenna met Tristan's gaze. "Let me know how I can help."
Tristan grunted. "I'm not sure you can. His mother may be a better help since his dragon would think twice of hurting her."
She hated to be thought of as a near-stranger, but Brenna couldn't allow her feelings to get in the way of Killian's recovery. "Has she mated the Northcastle leader yet? If she has, then she should be free to travel here, especially if the DDA inspector is still around."
"The inspector is still here," Sid stated. "As for Killian's mum, I have no idea if she's mated Lorcan Todd or not. However, someone should be arriving soon to fetch Adrian. He needs to go back to Northern Ireland if he wants to avoid the frenzy with the DDA inspector."
In all of the commotion surrounding Killian, she'd forgotten about Adrian and Elsie Day. "Maybe I should talk with Bram and see if he'll invite Killian's mum here."
The clan leader's voice came from the doorway. "I'm already here, lass."
Turning, she saw Bram enter the room, followed by his mate, Evie Marshall, and a female she didn't recognize with dark hair on top and sections of dyed blue on the bottom.
Bram spoke up again. "This here is Dr. Alice Darby. She's Evie's friend and knows some things about dragon-shifters that I don't."
She met the female's brown-eyed gaze. "How?"
Alice raised her brows. "I'm not partial to giving out information to people I don't know. What's your name?"
Brenna gave the human credit for standing up to her. "Brenna Rossi." She looked at Bram again. "What is she doing here?"
Bram's mate, Evie, answered, "Alice might be able to help Killian." Evie moved her gaze to Dr. Sid. "However, she can't do that without knowing what's going on. You only said it was urgent."
Sid didn't hesitate. "We think he has two dragon personalities residing inside his head, and they're constantly fighting each other. Have you heard of two dragons in one mind before, Alice?"
The human female must've been on Stonefire longer than Brenna had realized if Sid was readily asking her questions.
"Only once, and it was part of a legend, so I don't know if it's true," Alice answered as she moved to the other side of Killian's bed.
As the human studied Killian's face, Brenna's dragon decided to speak once more. She is too close to him.
What are you going on about? I thought you didn't want him as a mate?
I never said that. Just that there's no mate-claim frenzy pull. I was also half-asleep. Killian is ours.
Not wanting to think about her dragon's statement, she answered, Fine. But just be quiet for now. This human might be able to help.
