All rights belong to Michael Grant who created the Gone series. A/N: This story will be one-shots about different couples, the most common ones and ones that some people never thought of being together. Well read and review.
The pairing is Astrid/Drake
"Come to the mine, loyal one." The Gaiphage calls to Drake, preparing for a task to give him and obediently Drake goes to the mine.
It was nightfall when Drake finally reached his destination, "Yes, master." He calls to Gaiphage and bows to the invisible power.
"I have an important mission for you. Tell me now if you think you are worthy and strong enough to handle it."
"Yes, master I am. I am!" Drake said with greediness in his voice, all the while thinking of the reward he would get for completing this task.
"You know who Nemesis' sister is, don't you?"
"Yes, of course I do, it's that Jesus freak Astrid Ellison." Drake said with hatred in his voice, but the Gaiphage didn't stop there.
"And you know how the blood runs in people's family, right?"
"Yes." Drake said cautiously, not knowing what was up with all the pointless questions but trying hard not to doubt the Gaiphage.
"Well I want you to produce an offspring with the Astrid girl, in hopes of producing a baby similar to the blood of Nemesis."
Drake couldn't believe his ears his master wanted him to produce a baby with that-that thing, but he couldn't say no, since he already agreed to it.
The Gaiphage didn't wait for him to answer, "Now go on, and woo her. You have two weeks to get her to prove to me that you have a relationship with her." With that Drake left the mine.
Drake actually knew where Astrid was hiding, it just that he didn't feel that she was any use to borther with her, especially since she made her own brother disappear. Now this little piece of knowledge is coming in handy.
Drake starts making his way towards the house she's staying in, but looks down and realizes that he couldn't be seen like this. He tries to smooth out his clothing and his hair, but then stops when he realizes what he's doing.
Drake Merwin doesn't care about his appearance, he just forces people to do what he wants one way or the other, he thinks to himself.
He can't even believe the fact that he's trying to make Astrid like him, there was nothing attractive about her, the way her blue eyes lit up in the sun, her flowing blonde hair, how she stood up for her own and didn't back down, and how she could produce facts as fast as lightning from that little pretty head.
Those things weren't attractive at all, yet Drake knew deep down he had always admired her beauty.
He hadn't realize but he was standing in front of the place Astrid was staying in, he suddenly became nervous and for the first time hid his whip hand behind his back, thinking it was a complete turn off to any girl.
He smooth out his clothes and hair again after all, although he would never admit it,he wanted Astrid to think he was attractive as well.
A/N: Well that is it, up next is Astrid and Caine. Please review.
