----------

And why's that?

Because I'm your king. Don't forget your place.

Alarik words shake the ferris wheel. It sways dangerously as the two dragons face off.

Furry blazes in Xander eyes. After a moment that feels like an eternity.....he hands leah over.

Yoj owe me one,Alarik.....je said in anger.

With one final glare both Alarik and Xander leaps into the sky shifting into their dragon forms.

As xander flies away. The great black dragon that is Alarik scoops me and Leah up and soar back to the castle.

Back in Alarik chamber he carries Leah to the bed and lays her down. I hug her bitten, bruised body.

Th-thank you Beauty, you've always kept me safe, Leah said.

I did what i could.

You saved me from death or something worse that's no small thing. Leah said.

Alarik orders the infirmary to pick Leah up and tend to her wounds. She's carried away.

When Alarik shuts the door, his muscle tense. He looks like he might break the handle.

Now that we are alone tell me the truth are you alright ?

I am. Thanks to you saving me.....i replied.

If you hadn't come when you did I'm sure Xander would have.....

My words are stolen from my mouth as Alarm crosses the room. He grips my shoulder with quaking furry.

I really thought....for a while...Xander had.....

A low,tremulous growls rumbles from his broad chest and his eyes flash blue.

Gripping my wrist Alarik pulls me across the room. A sudden fear grips mh heart.

I am his slave. And he's to strong. He could do anything and I'll be powerless to him. I thought.

Alarik pulls me into a large luxurious bathroom. He turns the water on in the tub.

When the hot soapy water swirls high in the basin, he grabs a cloth, dipping it and wringing it out.

You're covered in dirt and blood and that bastard fucking scent. I can't stand it. I need it of you. he said.

I staand at the doorway staring at the dragon...before me...at the steam curling at his powerful body.

Sensing my hesitation Alarik softens.

I won't hurt you, I'm nothing like him.

He golds his hands out to me, hot water dripping from his skin.

Trust me....please he said.

Aftera long moment, i pad over to the bath tub and sit on the edge of it. i take the cloth from Alarik.

I've got it.....I told him with a smile.

Okay.

Beauth slowly ring out the cloth and bring it to her neck. He watches her press it down to her skin.Water drips down her chest.

Ifeel heat pour of him whenever he's close.....I said.

you went through hell out there, he said.

It was not that bad i'av dealt with worse. I said with a shrug.

What could be worse than that.. he asked flatly.

Getting beaten by your own father. while your mother laughs...

Alarik stops he looks up ag Beauty, the churning water reflecting in his sad eyes.

That is worse.....he said.

For the first time i get a good look at Alarik. His jaw his sharp, but his mouth his soft. It part when he stares at me...

Beauty...
