Chapter 28 Rescue
So the days went by, and my schedule remained the same. Wake, eat, play, eat, play, eat, play again, and sleep. On Sundays it was bath day. I detested this for the instincts in me hated water, and my human mind hated the girly scented shampoo that she used on me. Then she would give me an injection for who knows what. This went on for two and a half weeks until a knock came on the door.
It was Justipher. "Hello, Cindy, I believe you have something of ours. A lion cub that was stolen from us," he said. "Yes I know. He's right behind me," she replied. "Then you would know that he is not a lion and in fact a human," Justipher answered. "Again you're right, but I have made him forget his human self with instinct spells," she retorted, and commanded me to go my kennel. Then Justipher commanded me to be released from all my commands that Langley had given me. Then Chad walked up and asked what Justipher was doing here. "He's here to take Airemeth away from us," she told him, "go to your room while we talk this out as adults." "If this must come to a fight then I am prepared. I brought an entire army with me and Serena," he was not showing it, but Justipher was getting mad. "Bring it on!" Langley told him.
In the heat of their battle I ran out to find Serena. It wasn't that hard to spot a giant emerald green dragon. "Serena. Oh how I've missed you," I claimed. And I you little one, she replied, and I you. She put me on her back and we took off. But then a blasting spell was fired at us, and as she barrel rolled, it put me right in front of the spells path. There was another huge explosion, but instead of me hitting a wall this time I was caught in the dip of Serena's back. I couldn't move and the blood was pooling around me, soaking into my fur. I was so deep in blood that it covered my mouth and nostrils. I was going to drown in my own blood. The Christopher came onto Serena's back and pulled me out. "I don't have the energy to fully close the wound, but I can stop the major bleeding," he told me.
He held onto me as we flew back to Castle Darkovia. There Justipher gave me another bath. "You know, Airemeth, this is my favorite part of caring for you. I just love the smell of lilac and lavender shampoo, and being immortal means you have a lot of time on your hands, so I'm glad this takes a while" "Tell you what, I'll get extra dirty the day before I detransfigure so you can have more fun," I told him.
