Chapter 7 – a date with a secret

(Edward's officie, daytime)

"Alright Ash, looking through the tests it seems you are now healthy." Edward reveals as he sits on his desk reading through the clipboard. Ashley swipped her forehead with her hand making a 'phew' sound "that's a relief" Ashley gladly states. However she wasn't done yet because Melissa is still doing president business outside of the house, she could have a chance to spent time with her boyfriend.

"um, Edward… do you have plans this weekend?" Ashley asks making Edward put down his board "well, I am free tonight after work. Are you insisting we go on another date?" Ashley happily went "yes" followed by a "Of course, my sister is out of my house so im wondering if you would like to have a dinner with me at my estate?"

Edward tapped his chin in his thoughts "let me think….. yes I would be glad." Ashley got out of the chair, leaned toward Edward to say "guess ill see you at 7?" "See you at 7 Ash." Edaward replies back.

(Mandrake Estate)

After Thor snapped out of his thoughts, he realized something. Speaking of his mother he noticed that he made a hole on the wall making him panic. The drake looks around his room hoping to use something to cover it so his mom wont find out. 'think thor, think' thor could only see toys, desks, a tv, his bed. He gave up searching until he notices that the wall actually made a tunnel. The tunnel gave him an idea. He went inside the tunnel until he got to the end. He looks up and made the same atomic breath creating another hole outside a forest nearby.

Thor comes out of the hole greeted by a deserted forest filled with various trees. Speaking of the trees, Thor came up with an idea.

While Thor is doing whatever he thought he is doing, a car could be seen. The car is a Tuscan confirming that Ashley is back home. She is excited to get ready until she heard a blast coming from the forest right by.

To figure out what had happened, Ashley rushed into the forest. The center, where the blast came from is nothing but a large hole in the middle of a pile of stumps surrounding it. The worried lady in toe could only just drop her jaw in shock. 'what the hell!' she thought scratching her head remembering something. "oh my God! Thor!" she remembers that Thor is still inside the basement of the manor so she needs to run back inside. Rushing straight to the main entrance of the basement, she does the same magic password allowing her to run in only to see Thor trying to build up a stack of logs as a wall to cover up the hole.

To get Thor's attention Ashley makes an ahem noise making the drake stop. Thor, slowly tilted his head with a guilty look as he witnesses his adopted mother looking at him with a frown, arms crossed, tapping her foot. "Thor, what did you do?" Ashley asks in a demanded tone. The guilty hybrid trotted on his hind legs to the log wall than used his foreclaws to remove them down exposing the large hole. To demonstrate what he had done, he stands on his fours, his spines, and snout started to glow unleashing the atomic breath into the hole.

Ashley in awe that Thor could do such an ability. 'OMG, that breath….. no dragon had ever done that! Is it a breath that is fused between fury and nightmare?' she thought until she shook her head remembering about her date with Edward so she uses her magic to repair the damaged metal wall. Another matter that the witch needs to deal with is Thor's punishment. "Listen up boy, because of what you did no fish for you in dinner time!" Ashley states pointing at Thor as he hung his head in a sad look making adorable puppy eyes. Ashley wasn't done so she further commanded him. "I want you to sit in your bed for the rest of the day also without TV." Thor, still with his sad expression trotted to his bed and fell to sleep.

Nightfall came to the estate, as an SUV started to enter the house. Comeing out of the SUV is the same young man who gave his girlfriend the checkup Edward this time wearing a buttoned shirt with a sport jacket, Blue jeans, and a pair of boots. As Edward approached the house a figure in the bushes is watching him with Serpintine eyes hunting for its prey.

Edward knocks on the door getting Ashley's attention who is now wearing a nice Blue dress with nice slippers. She is also wearing a neckalace that has an old family seal. She opened the reaveling Edward who looks very happy to see her. Ashley immeditly grabbed him in a hug leading to make out. Breaking out of the kiss they went to the dinning room where they started to have dinner and speak about their lives.

Starting with Edward he asks "so your sister Melisa is currently on some kind of business trip?" "that's right, she been going to a some kind of meeting might be more business stuff Ashley replies followed with a question "what about you? Anything new?" Edward sips a bit of his water to answear "well, its just the usual heal patients, TV, Video Games, Workout, that kind of stuff but I had recently got a letter about one of those meetings that I have to go to."

While they spoke a loud banging noise can be heard at the front door. The Couple turned their attention to the door until Ashley got out of her chair to kiss Edward followed with a command "Stay here, ill it out." So she went to the door, opened it revealing to be a large Gronckle dragon and man it looks pissed.

Ashley slowly stepped back as the Gronckle itself started to approach her in its pronching position. In a few steps it unleashes a big fire ball attack cause Ashley to dodge it as Edward in the nearby room rush to aid until he spotted the dragon with a face that read 'WTF is that?! The dragon now looks at Edward. It only observed him a bit until it prounced on top of him only for a magic bolt to strike it off him. The magic bolt came from Ashley. With her wand Ashley went to the dragon that went back up but this time it seems to be making roaring sounds as if its trying to say something.

While the battle is happing, in the basement Thor starts to hear a lot of banging noises. He went up the stairs until he stopped at the front door slight opened because Ashley forgot to close it properly. Not wanting to get caught he peeped through the gap, noticing his care taker fighting a Gronckle which started to gain the upper hand pinning Ashley to the wall. As the Gronckle is about to bite gun shots is heard making holes in its head. The Gronckle feel off to the side off Ashley dead. Ashley looks back At Edward with his gun in his hand with confirms that he shot the dragon but looks made and confused. "Ash… what the hell is that!?"

Realizing that a part of the secret has been revealed Ashley needs to think of something than an idea comes to mind "Eddy, ill try to explain everything but maybe tommarow we meet at your house but promise me that you will not tell anyone!" Ashley pleas. Edward only say "ok" as he starts to leave the house.

Thor just witnessed another dragon but it got killed because it attacked like a beast. The idea of a beast kinda made Thor further question his existence as he heads back to the bed.

Ashley looks a the dragon corpse noticing on its foreClaw a wedding ring of sort making her take it off. Once she took it off, calls her sister "Melissa, its Ashley I wanana let you know that I was attacked by a dragon (phone noises from Melissa) indeed but this dragon might not be one of ours." Ashley states looking at the said wedding ring very too familiar. The familiarness of the ring made Aashley wonder 'this ring belonged to my local garnder!'
