Chapter 2

Allan woke up to see Mirlearna leaning over to see him. "Uhhhh...What happened? I know I was fighting, Dilandau came at me. That's all I remember." Allan said as he noticed a feather on his tunic. "What's this? There are no birds out this way..." Allan says. "Nevermind, you must have a guardian angel." Gaddes said. "Mirlearna? How did we get away?" Allan asked. "You see Van fought bravely, he lead them away from us so that we could escape, then you fell off the edge. Your angel helped bring you here." She said. Allan got up and looked at his head. "My hair has tints of red now." Allan laughed.

"Van?" Van heard his name being called. He opened his eyes. "Meral?" She screamed and hugged him. "You're alive!!!" Then kissed him on the cheek. His back muscles hurt like hell from all that flapping with his wings. "Meral? You must promise that you CANNOT tell Allan that I'm a Draconian. Alright?" Van said seriously. "Okay, my lips are sealed." She said spunky. Van laid back down, he groaned from the pain in his back. But got up anyway and walked out. He struggled down the hall, he saw Allan coming. "Great..." He breathed. "Hi Van. What's wrong?" Allan said. "Nothing, just slept the wrong way. Besides, Meral was stepping on my back too." Van said loudly. He hated lying. He should tell the truth. 'Allan, I'm your guardian angel, I have wings! Get into the bed with me. Your angel...' Van thought as he laughed. "What's so funny?" Allan asked. Van struggled to see something to talk about. "You have Red tints in your hair?" "No, it's just blood, I still have to wash it." Allan stated. "Can you believe that I have my very own guardian angel? It saved me today, I want to see my angel in person." Allan said with glimmer in his eyes. "That's nice..."

***Night***

Allan walks into his room, he sits on his bed and a tear goes down his face. They all start pouring, he doesn't know why.Allan feels like he's all alone, he doesn't want to be alone.

Van jerks up from a nightmare, he enters Allan's room to see him sitting on the bed. "Allan? You're still up?" Van asked silently. Allan sniffed and turned around to see Van. Van sees the tears running down Allan's face. "What's wrong Allan?" Van walks over and sits besides Allan. "I feel so alone...so, so alone." Allan says as he leans into Van's shoulder. Van puts his arm around Allan, Allan sobs into Van's chest. "I have no one to hold me and say it is all-right. I need somebody..." Allan says. Van recalls himself saying that a few nights ago, he holds Allan close. "You need someone?" Van asks. "Yes." "I will be with you, I need you. I feel the same way you're feeling it." Van admitted. "Everyday I wonder what is going to happen to me or my friends..." Allan says still sobbing. "Don't worry Allan.I'm here now..." Van coaxes Allan.

"Allan? Van?" They both open their eyes, they see Gaddes. "What?" Allan says. Both of them feel each other's arms around each other. Van falls off the bed and Allan gets up and screams. "How the hell did you end up together?" Gaddes says. "I don't know, I guess we were talking and it led to thinking that each of us were teddy bears. I hugged Allan cause he was comfortable." Van breathed out. "Yeah, and I thought Van was a pillow so I hugged him." Allan sighed. They both looked at each other, they both knew they were lying. "Okay...Allan? Mirlearna wants you to meet her on deck." "Thanks." Allan headed out. Gaddes proudly followed Allan. Van sat in the corner, that was close.

"Lord Van? Are you alright?" Meral asked as she cuddled him. "I'm alright Meral. Just feeling down right now, so just let me be..." Van said. Meral walked out with her ears down and her tail between her legs. Van got up and ran out the door, he darted down the hall and out of the ship. He spread his wings, and flapped away.

"Where are all those feathers coming from!?" Allan yelled. "I don't know..." Gaddes said.

Van flew up as high as he could, he was getting tired but didn't care. He was as far as he could go. He flew back down like a speeding bullet. Allan saw the thing go really fast by the window. "What was that?" Mirlearna asked. Van landed on the balcony, and tucked his wings back in. Allan came running out to the balcony. "Did you see that thing?!" Allan sounded fascinated. "No, all I seen was feathers." Van lied against the railing. His back hurt a little, he screamed as he got up. "Van?" Van looked up and smiled at him. Allan lifted Van in his arms. "Can you tell me why your back hurts all the time?" Allan asked. "It's Meral, she always jumps on it, scratches it. I heal quickly though." Van stated. "Stop lying Van. I know you're lying." "I'M NOT LYING!!" Van shouted and jumped out of Allan's arms. "You don't know anything!" Van screamed. Allan walked away. Allan entered the control room. "Gaddes put the ship over by the lake..." Allan demanded. The ship landed and Allan walked out and screamed his lungs off. "That was good, I feel better now." Allan sighed. "Allan? Is there something wrong?" Mirlearna asked. "No. Nothing." "You've never lied before Allan." She stated. Van walked past Allan and gave him a look to kill. Van walked off into the woods. Van sat by the water and stared at his reflection. "When am I ever going to tell him?" He said to himself. "Tell who Van?" I flipped around to see Allan. "Go away..." Van whispered. Allan sat beside him. "Who is 'him'?" Allan said curiously. "You..." Van said and blushed. "Okay first slice covered. Tell me what?" Allan asked. "That I'm a..." "ALLAN!!!!!" Mirlearna screamed. Allan and Van got up and ran towards her. They got there and seen Dilandau holding her, Jajuka was holding Gaddes. The others were being held too. "Let them go Dilandau!!!" Allan yelled. "No!!! She's mine, I caught her. With the right bait and fishing rod. She's about a 120 pounder..." Dilandau said insanely. "I challenge you Dilandau!!" Van screamed as he drew his sword. "Me?" The insane one said. "Yes, you." Dilandau threw Mirlearna at Allan. "Fine, your funeral." Dilandau attacked Van, Van jumped back and turned around and sliced Dilandau in the face. "Ow, you sliced my beautiful face, you're going pay!!!" Dilandau shouted before Allan came in and kicked him. "Everyone retreat until I'm better!" Dilandau shouted. As they enemies rode off, Van stood up and pushed Allan. "I had it under control you asshole!" Van punched Allan in the face. Allan's head popped back, his mouth was bleeding. "Van! How could you! He was protecting you!!" Mirlearna screamed. Van gave her a look to kill and walked off into the ship.........
