Chapter 2

Bella is now a few weeks old baby with a wonderful family, who doesn't want to leave her side for even a second. She easily became the center of attention.

Today, the Ryders were enjoying a warm, sunny morning in their backyard. Chris was holding Bella while she sleeps peacefully in his arms. Bella just had her morning milk.

"My baby, she's beautiful just like her mother" said Chris and Carla visibly blushed at the comment. Carla is a very gentle, beautiful, kind and a soft person. She loves her family dearly and would die for them.

"Honey, you keep saying that a lot nowadays" she giggled.

"Can't help it, love. It is the truth after all" replied Chris.

Ian the eldest took the sleeping Bella from his father and looked adoringly at her, "Couldn't agree anymore" he whispered. He loved his sister dearly and swore to protect her with his life, actually they all did. He's also the beloved brother of three. Bella had them all wrapped around her fingers the second they laid their eyes on her.

As for Ian, he's thirteen meaning he's about to change in the next few weeks or so. The whole family is anticipating for his change. For he's very clever and smart. He also mastered many techniques with ease in such a young age. No surprise there, as he's the son of Chris, who happens to be the powerful tamer in history.

Just then three little toddlers rushed towards him. It was none other than his brothers Seejay, Kaaji and Carlos's son Sky. Once they stopped they looked with longing eyes at Ian.

"Ian! Can I hold her?" asked Seejay, his tone pleading.

"I want to hold her too" shouted Kaaji.

"me too!" joined Sky.

"Fine! Fine!, stop shouting though. And be careful , she's just weeks young" Ian warned them and gently handed Bella to seejay, But carefully supporting half her in case they couldn't hold her. Bella snuggled closer in Seejay's little arms to find more space and let out a cute yawn making her mouth to form a little 'O'.

They ohhed! At how cute their sister is. Ian chuckled at their bewiled expression. After all, the boys are just three years old yet they understood that Bella is their property and promised to take good care of her, they even agreed to share their toys with her.

As they were all admiring Bella, Wesley and Elizabeth came back from their morning walk. When Elizabeth noticed Bella she immediately sprinted over and Wesley dutifully followed.

"ohh!...look at her. She's beautiful I can hardly wait for her to wake up, I already bought some new dresses to try on her" Cooed Elizabeth and I had to resist rolling my eyes, but Wesley did stop doing so. All she ever talk about are dresses, shopping, make-up and other girly stuff, don't get me wrong she's a very nice girl, but also a shopaholic which she clearly got from her mother Kara.

"Elsy, not now" Wesley said placing a hand on her shoulder. I raised my eyebrow at him on hearing his nickname for Elizabeth. But he just shrugged his shoulders as if it was nothing. They both are ten years old and had grown fond of each other over the years. Yes, my bro has a crush on Elizabeth and I am sure she feels the same way too.

"Don't ever think about it, Elizabeth. I am not letting you make her cry anymore" Sky glared at his elder sister. We all chuckled.

Elizabeth scoffed at him "I don't what you are talking about, Sky". Sure she does, Bella never cries for food or stuff like a normal baby, but the second Elizabeth made her wear a new dresses after dresses, she cried and it became really hard to make her stop crying. It took a good few hours of crying and screaming until Bella finally fell asleep. I was so angry at Elizabeth for making her cry like that; apparently I wasn't the only one angry at her after all.

"Guys, knock it off and come inside" Dad called out as he guided mom inside.

"Fine! But this conversation isn't over" Elizabeth scoffed at her brother and stormed inside, who was followed by Wesley, who had a fearful expression on his face. Everybody with brain would know to avoid Elizabeth when she's pissed off. I chuckled softly at what my brother would get from her. The others joined the laughter. Poor Wesley! We went inside once the laughter subsided.

Ian's point of view.

The sun was shining pleasantly and the air was warm, so the boys decided to play in the pool. I was holding my sweet sister while she took a small nap.

I looked over and saw Seejay, kaaji and Sky splashing water against each other. Elizabeth and Wesley were sitting under a tree and both sharing a book. Those two are getting pretty close together. I wonder what's gonna happen in the future. Did dad notice their behavior?, I thought.

They were playing in the water for quite some time now, so I decided to call them back. "Hey boys, c'mon in. You are going to miss your first day at the academy if you don't hurry." I called at them. They immediately came running towards me with a happy grin on their faces on seeing Bella in my arms.

The boys were to start their first year in the Academy today. Spirit Academy is the place where we receive basic knowledge about our kind, while we are still human. Then after the change Carlos gives them proper training on how to control their spirits and all, Then once they pass that level they will be given training on how to use our spirits in fights. Once we clear all these levels we will be asked to take up a challenge which comprise of three levels. They only we'll be named a proper spirit warrior.

As for me I already completed these levels, didn't take me more than two years, which usually should take minimum seven years. It seems I am the only person in history to pass the levels in such early age and with only two years of time. This is exactly why people believe that I am the Dragon.

Long ago, during the third's rule, among the constant fights between the two rulers, a myth was started. It was about a person who's spirit animal will be the Dragon and that person being the most powerful of all, including other races. And it was believed, whoever side that person was born, that is the fallen or our spirit kingdom, will become the rightful ruler of our land. But no such person was born yet on either side, but then again it could be just a myth.

But this time they were sure that I would be that person, that is also the reason why Garcia didn't want to make peace with the Fallen, he believes we would become the rightful rulers. One of the reasons why everybody's anticipating for my change.

I know it can be only a myth, but I can't help feel that it can be true and I wanted to become the dragon. The only spirit which is unique and powerful among all. I hope my change comes soon. I shook the thought of, just as Bella started to cry. I looked to and cooed to her but she wouldn't stop crying. Not knowing what to do I rushed inside to find my mom, she always knows the right thing to do.

"Mom! Come here, Bella won't stop crying and I don't know what to do" I started to panic. Mom and dad immediately rushed to my sides along with rest of my family. Mom took a teary Bella out of my hands and began to rock silently, then she began to sing, which didn't work either instead her cries grew louder. Sometime later mom even tried to feed her but still she didn't stop crying. Dad was pissed off at the idea of Bella crying, he doesn't want his baby girl hurting so do I.

After some time and many unsuccessful turns later mom was in the verge of crying too. Bella's frock was wet with her tears and her face was red from all the crying.

"What do we do now? Should we take her to the doctor?" suggested Wesley.

"You mean something is wrong with Bella?" asked Elizabeth.

The next second her words came out, without thinking dad growled. Of course, he took her words in literally.

"There is nothing wrong with Bella." He growled out.

We were too shocked to speak anything. My dad is very overprotective of Bella, I thought. Quickly he controlled himself muttering a quick sorry. The only disadvantage of being a spirit tamer, we are very short tempered, we have absolutely zero patience. But my dad always controls himself well, this shows how much he loved Bella.

Suddenly, It felt as if something was missing, the others noticed too. Just then mom shouted "Bella stopped crying" . True! She is looking at my dad and suddenly made a strange sound. That's when it struck me, Bella is giggling!

"She stopped crying because you growled?" Wesley asked dad, confused.

He seemed surprise too "Well, it seems so, son" he answered in an amused tone. In order to test this new theory, dad growled again, this time Bella giggled loudly and stuck her hands out looking at dad. He laughed and we all joined him.

Dad held her lovingly and Bella was happily pulling dad's blond hair.

"You silly girl, I actually need to growl to make you happy, hun?" dad said and playfully growled again. This only made her laugh more.

Mom was all too pleased that Bella stopped crying, we all are and sometime later after testing out theory again for some time, it was time for the boys to go to the academy and also Wesley and Elizabeth to attend their classes too.
