(Hellooooo everyone, here's the next part. A small reminder for ya.. This isn't going to turn into love and romance, I'm going to keep it canon as Cynder's heart belongs to Spyro and I'd hate myself if I tried to change that, plus she is eight years old and still fairly young so in this story, I've included a point of view for Cynder so remember, she has no idea what any of the stuff in Jeff's home like the kitchen counters, the fridge, etc, so in a way she'll be explaining it differently, like the floor being the ground and the kitchen counters being a cliff or a rocky platform, etc, I hope everyone understands what I mean. So without delay, here's the next part. ^^ )

_

The next morning came as I woke up to the sound of scratching, I got up and opened the door. It took me a moment to realize it was Cynder and the memories from yesterday came back to me.

"oh! uh.. hey cynder. Is something wrong?" I asked as I rubbed the yellow crust from my eyes

"I know you don't want me leaving but maybe we can find Spyro together?" she asked, she sounded concerned for Spyro.

I swallowed a small amount of my own saliva. "I'm sorry to tell you this, but we're not in the Dragon Realms." I said, I didn't want to tell her the truth but I just couldn't lie to her again

"No, we must be in the dragon realms.. I'm sure of it.." She said as she tilted her head, her emerald eyes seemed to glitter, seeing those eyes made me nervous.

"You're... on the human world." I said as I walked past her and looked out the window, my eyes went wide open when I saw that the strange storm was still around, but what added to my discomfort was the gentle rain. The last time that a purple and green storm raged around here, it rained hard.

I turned around to see that panic had returned to her. "N-no.. there must be a way back.. I.. I.. I.." she started tearing up.

I walked over to her and gave her a gentle hug, I didn't want her to have a panic attack like yesterday. She slowly calmed down, but she cried on my shoulder for a good minute.

"I promise you Cynder I'll find a way to bring you home" I said to her. I know how it feels to be suddenly dragged into another world that isn't mine, but this time she won't be going through danger like I did.

She raised her head and wiped the tears from her face with her paw. "I don't understand you, Jeff... Why are you comforting me.. I... I'm..."

"Because I was in the same situation as you.. I was pulled into another world before. I know how it feels, Cynder. But I will find a way to get you back home.." I said as I reached up to softly rub the top of her head, she smiled weakly, she probably finds it strange that a species that isn't even a dragon would care for her. Cynder is here and alive, I know Spyro is looking for her, although I do wonder in which generation of her world she came though.

I looked up and noticed it was 7:01 AM, reminding me I had to get to work, dammit.

"Uh.. Cynder? I'm needed somewhere but I will return, please don't leave my home but if you're ever hungry, just uh.. open that box over there and it'll contain all kinds of goodies, but be sure to close it." I said as I had to let go off her from the hug we had, I went into my room and began changed out of my clothes and into my work clothes on, which was mostly blue jeans and a shirt that displayed the logo's company. My job was to deliver items and foods to the restaurants around Arizona,

"Where are you going, Jeff?" Cynder asked as she noticed I was wearing different clothes, she couldn't read the writing on my green shirt as she didn't understand it.

"Uh.. Well, its where I work, I need money so I keep my home." I said as I grabbed a small of potato chips from the kitchen cabinet.

"What's money?" Cynder asked, her spiked tail flicking to show her curiosity.

"Its like.. uh.. treasure.. I need it in order to exchange it for items, I serious need to go, Cynder, please careful be sa- OH! I need to explain something um.." I ran over to the thermometer

"See this dial? I mean... ermm.. this is something in my world called Technology, its like magic except anyone can use it. If you feel hot, you should turn it to the right, left for cold.." I said to her, I was trying hard to explain it in a way only she could understand. I even had to pull up a chair so that she could chair it and maybe turn it with her.. snout? maybe with a paw.. I seriously hope she'll be alright alone in my home.

Cynder just remained sitting on the couch, nodding and tilting her head toward everything I said, after all Cynder was like a child.

"Ok, I'm going to lock the door, meaning you won't be able to open it until I get back. Please, cynder don't leave my home.." I asked as I grabbed the knob of the door.

"Alright, alright, why are you so worried? I'm strong!" Cynder proclaimed as she made her long wings spread out to make herself look strong.

"Hrrrm.. I.. I'll explain later. Be safe and stay, alright Cynder?" I said as I gave her head a pat before heading out the door. The truth was If Spyro does manage to to my world and finds Cynder hurt or wounded, he isn't going to be happy about it. In short, my mind is very open, it would race with thoughts of what might happen, I seriously need to do some research when I return home, if I known Cynder would be in my home, I would of played the legend of spyro series and right now the only knowledge I had to go by was when I played Spyro The Eternal Night but shamefully, there were parts I was forgetting

...
-Switching to Cynder's point of view-

Jeff closed the door and I was now alone in his home, I began to wonder around, checking out each and every room I could get into, I made my way into some kind of room where the ground changed into weird squares patterns, I saw all kinds of doors above me but I couldn't quiet reach them. I didn't know how to fly and all I can remember is seeing Spyro's face, he saved me from Malefor's control but.. the rest is just a blank.. Hmph! it shouldn't stop me from getting up there!

I backed up and leaped toward up onto the smooth edge of the cliff, I sat up and pushed on the strange doors to try and get them to open, I even bit down and pulled, I can feel it move and shake but it refuses to open! I know they can open, I saw Jeff do it!

With a bit of a struggle, I managed to pull the first door open, I looked inside to see some kind of bag, I gave it a sniff, it smelled a bit sweet. I reached in and pulled it out with my paws, I throw it out onto the ground below. I leaped down and landed on top of it. Hmm, how do I open it?

I sniffed around, thinking there was something tying it close, but all I could see is that it had some kind of picture of a strange ape wearing green clothes, maybe this bag belongs to him?

I bit down hard and began tear the bag open, the bag stuff inside the bag has strange shapes but it smelled good! I started to nibble and eat, oh yuummmmy, its so crunchy and the colorful bits is soft and even more sweet~

I kept eating more and more, it just tasted so good but I soon felt full, I laid down on my back with my belly full of the colorful shaped food, I slowly got up onto my feet and began licking the sweet stuff off of my paws until I got them nice and clean.

Hmmm, what else can I do?

...
-Switching to Jeff's point of view-

I eventually arrived at work and began loading up my truck after taking the latest orders from my boss. My progress was slower than usual as I had worry on my mind, I pray to God that no one else discovers I have a purple dragon in my home. What if my landlord founds out? Crap, maybe I should of closed the certain on my window...

I knew my life was going to be a bit of a mess even more than before, I had to keep both my red dragon powers and Cynder a secret, hrrrm... Can life get any more complicated?

Throughout the day, I did my job delivery the usual stuff like putting the food in the fridge storages of varias restaurants and carrying heavy boxes of plates, silver wear, there were a few times I almost had an accident because of my thoughts.. I need to focus before I end up making it worst..

At the end of the seven hour shift, I was exhausted. I drove my truck home through the rain, the strange storm was still around and I was being caution about it. Eventually I got and followed the usual routine of making sure the truck is safe, alarm activated so it wouldn't get stole by thieves, walk up stairs to my apartment, insert key and- WHAT THE!?

I dropped my keys as I notice the mess in the kitchen with my box of lucky charms scattered all over the floor. "Cynder?" I spoke her name started searching for me, I made my way to the bathroom and noticed the floor was soaking wet and the water faucet was left on, Gah! it must of been recent because I managed to stop it before the water could reach the rug, god.. What else did she do?

I walked into the living room and instantly notice it was freezing, I ran over to the thermostat and quickly adjusted it.. "Cynder! Where are you?!" I yelled and I felt a bit upset. I walked into my room and notice my laptop on the floor, I quickly it up and turned it on, phew.. it was still working.. I placed my laptop back onto my desk. "Cynder?!" I yelled in anger for her name again.

I eventually found her under the couch. "Cynder? Come on o-"

"NO!" She yelled with fear in her voice

I had to quickly pull my head back to avoid a claw swipe from her.

"Your magic is weird, ape! YOUR EVIL!" she hissed at me.

"Cynder, I told you I'm a human, now come on out, please!" I said as I looked back under the couch. But the only reply she was gave was a draconic hiss

I groaned in annoyance and gave up. I began to pick up the bits of cereal in my kitchen and only salvaged what I could, next was getting the floor mobbed up and dried up, I took a good look around the place to make sure nothing was wrecked, no damage but my blanket was all scratched up. I let out a long sigh and went ahead to replace them. As I finished remaking the bed I.. Oh man..

I saw that she was crying and I felt my heart sank. Those sad emerald eyes of her... I can't stay mad at her, she was only a child after all and it was wrong of me to yell at her.

"I.. I.." she sniffled and rubbed the tears from her eyes. "I-I-I"

I got down onto my knees and wrapped my arms around her neck and allowed her to place her head on my shoulder. "Hush, Cynder.. Hush..." I said to her, softly stroking the back of her head to try comfort her, she sniffed in between breaths.

"I just wanna go home, I want to see Spyro... I'm sorry I made a mess.." Cynder said, I could feel her warm tears getting my right shoulder wet.

"sshh..." I gentle said to her. I began to sing a soft Melody to her of a song I knew from Majora's mask that always made me feel better. I was to humming to her the song of healing.

Cynder began to relax more as she closed her eyes. A long moment of silence past as she stopped her crying.

The silent was broken when Cynder spoke. "J-Jeff?" She said as she lifted her head off of my shoulder, she looked at me and I looked into her green eyes.

"Don't worry, Cynder.. I forgive you. Just please be more careful, alright?" I said to her, she slowly but softly smiled at me.

"C-could you.. teach me about those things?" she asked.

I couldn't help but smile. "Of course cynder, anything you're curious about, I will try to explain the best I can."

During my time with her, I taught her the things in my home and about what's ok to touch and not to touch, I taught her about the fridge and the things in my kitchen, she was most interested about the toaster and she just couldn't stop asking questions about it, so I told her the truth and compared it to magic, it was the only way she'd understand it.

Nighttime drew near and once I got done teaching her, I sat down on the couch and Cynder joined me, she laid down on my lap, I had to teach her about what a TV was and what it did, what it was used for, what it couldn't do. I was getting a bit mentally drained, but eventually got her to understand.

For the first time in a good while, I felt happy... It felt natural to be with Cynder instead of with my friends... my normal... friends. I just couldn't talk to them or hang out with them because of my fear of being discovered, I wasn't exactly human anymore and I wasn't really normal..

Cynder looked up at up with her emerald eyes when she noticed my sad expression on my face, I placed my hand on her head. "Don't worry, just something I remembered." I said.

She smiled before laying her head on my stomach as she got comfortable. She and I watched television, but I had to choose a good channel that she could understand, it was a bit of an old black and white medieval show about a dragons being heroes. I looked over toward the window... Do I have a chance of sending her home? Will Spyro be able to arrive here?

Cynder didn't belong on earth, she belonged in the Dragon Realm with Spyro, not with me as her care taker. I just hope that in the end, I'll take her home some day...
