Note: No one reviewed for my first chapter when I put it up. So I decided to update anyway. If you read, you BETTA review! Just kidding. But I really would like a review for this story since I did work hard on it.
Chapter 2: Taken Care Of
Fifteen years had passed since the night when I had taken a human form. Everyone was beginning to look older, all except me. I looked like I had aged only a year. Alex, Luna, Ramus, Nash, and Mia was 32, Jessica was 33, and Kyle was 34. Today, the gang were bringing their children over Alex and Luna's house for me to look after while they took care of some business. Kyle and Jessica had two children. Their names were Knives and Brittany. Knives had Kyle's features, dark skin, dark blue hair, and dark eyes, but he still showed signs of being a beastperson, stripes on his face and elf ears and he was 11. Brittany had long, blonde hair and blue eyes. She too had the features of a beastperson and was 14. Nash and Mia had one child, William. William had black hair and green eyes. He was the youngest at 8 years old. Alex and Luna had two children as well, they was named Artemis and Dyan. Dyan looked exactly like Alex did when he was his age, which was 10 and Artemis had short blue hair and blue eyes. She was 9. Ramus had a girl named Nana. She was chubby, like Ramus, and wore glasses. Her hair was short and dark brown and she was 12. The gang's business? Well, they wouldn't tell me and to this day I don't know. It was probably to get away from their kids.
"Nall, are you really going to take care of all of the kids?" Alex asked.
"Yeah. I really like kids..."
"Uncle Nall!"
Artemis and Dyan ran over to me. Dyan jumped on my back and Artemis gave me a hug. I smiled and hugged her back.
"Hey! You act like you haven't seen me in ages when I live right here. Ha ha!" I laughed, "so what's up?"
"When you're taking care of us, will we go for a ride?" she asked.
"I'll think about it. I haven't really been feeling well lately."
It was true. I had been sick for the past week but I had promised in advance that I would babysit so that's what I was going to do. They told me that I shouldn't and they'd do what they had to do later, but I insisted. I loved hanging with the kids, whether I was sick or they were sick.
"Don't worry though. I'll be better in a while and then we can go for as many rides as you want."
There was a knock on the door, and some screaming. That was a sure sign Jessica and Kyle had come. That was a...violent family. Jessica and Kyle, although they WERE happy, always fought. Knives and Brittany didn't mind their parents' petty fights cause THEY were always fighting with each other too. I guess, it's a Jessica gene. Alex opened the door for the wrestling family and they calmed down almost instantly.
"Heeey Alex..." Kyle said.
"Kyle, are you drunk?"
"YES!!" Jessica yelled, "He's always drunk!"
"You knew that when you married me..."
Knives ran over to me and clung to my legs. Brittany, being the oldest, just sat down to watch the fight between her parents. I guess she always found it amusing.
"Uncle Nall!!!" he squealed, "I've missed you!!"
"I missed you too Knives. What were you and your sister arguing about?"
"She was just screaming at me for no reason. All I said was 'Boo!' and she tried to bite my head off, literally!"
I laughed. Poor boy didn't realise his big sister was going through puberty. I've had my head bitten off by Jessica and Luna way too many times...during their weird monthly thing. Luckily, I'm a dragon so when I find a mate, I won't have to deal with it. But, right now, I was babysitting a little bomb just ready to blow up.
"Just leave Brittany alone right now..."
Nash and Mia walked in with William, since the door was still opened. He ran toward me and clung to my other leg.
"Hi Unkey Mall!"
"Hey Will...still can't pronounce my name right, huh..."
Most of the kids were on me now and I was starting to get tired already, due to me not feeling well in the first place. So I put Artemis down and shook Knives and William off of me. I flopped on the couch, panting.
"Nall, are you okay?" Mia asked putting her gentle hand on my forehead.
"I'm fine..."
Jessica and Luna walked over to me and followed suit. They laid their hands on my face and neck.
"Gees! You're burning up!" Jessica exclaimed.
"Did you notice...Nall gets a lot of attention from our ladies..." Kyle mumbled.
"I'm fine!" I said standing up.
I walked away from them alittle bit, but then I stumbled and suddenly, everyone was helping back to the couch. I frowned, then sighed. If their was one thing everyone in the group had in common, it was stubborness.
"You know what, let's stay and take care of Nall. He's too sick to take care of all of the kids," Alex said.
"But..."
"It's okay. You've taken care of us many times and now it's our turn," Alex said smiling.
"Yeah, like when I had a hangover...over and over again when Jessie wouldn't."
"When me and Luna had that flu, remember that?" Jessica laughed, "We were a handful a bet."
"That time when I was sick after having Artemis..."
"And when I was in that coma for 3 days after I electrocuted myself trying a new spell."
I looked at all of their faces, full of concern. A lot had happened in 15 years.
"Fine, but what about the kids?"
"I'll take care of them," Kyle said, "I'll teach them how to gamble and win!"
"Oh no you won't!" Nash yelled, "I want to teach them to use spells so I'll take care of them!"
Nash and Kyle both left to round the kiddies up outside. Alex went to makes some soup while Jessica went to get a cold rag and a healing spell. Luna sung for me, to help me feel better I guess, and Mia just ran her fingers through my hair. I sighed happily (yes, I still had a crush on Mia, but it wasn't as obvious) enjoying the attention I was receiving. I rarely got sick, only twice before. Once when it was just me, Alex, Luna, and Ramus and another time right after we defeated Ghaleon. I guess it's because I'm a mystical animal. But when I do get sick, it was pretty bad. When I say bad, I mean black outs, halucinations, confusion, fatigue, dehydration, hunger, the works. That's why everyone was so worried about me. Why would I take care of kids if I knew I was going to be fainting and probably trying to kill them? Because I already said I was going to do it and I didn't think it would happen this time.
"Here's a cold towel okay?" Jessica said as she walked back in. She laid it on my head, "I have a healing spell so you won't be in too much pain a little later down the road."
She closed her eyes and hovered her hands over me. Luna stopped singing and Mia had stopped stroking me like I was a kitty. I watched Jessica, a little scared because she still wasn't the best at spells. One mispronounciation and I could have been turned into a tomato! Her hands began to glow as she mumbled something I couldn't hear. Something about Althena I'm sure. The room filled with a bright green light all of a sudden and everyone had to shield their eyes. When the light died down, I felt a little better. Jessica was sitting on the floor, tired from the spell.
"What happened in here?" Alex asked.
"Jessica casted a healing spell."
"Oh."
Alex left for a while and came back with two bowls of soup. He gave one to me and the other to Jessica. I sat up and drunk the soup from the bowl. Alex stood there with the spoon he was going to give me like a helpless deer in the headlights.
"Nall...I do have a spoon for you..."
I looked up and held out the bowl, laughing. The soup was already gone. I laid back down as he took the bowl and got some more soup for me.
"Do you think you'll go berserk on us again?" Luna asked placing the towel back on my head.
I sighed and thought about it. The last time I was sick, I had went into a frenzy, destroying everything. When I snapped out of it, I was in my adult form with my foot over Alex and Luna, about to crush them. I don't remember what happened but I know that I was about to hurt my friends. And before that, I had bit Ramus's finger. He was bleeding really bad and his finger was funny looking. I broke his finger, I think.
"I don't know..."
"Well, I can do a confinement spell," Mia said, "I had to teach it to the students back at Vane."
"Don't worry Nall, you'll be okay," Alex said as he walked in and gave me some more soup.
He tried to give me a spoon again but I had already decided to drink the soup...again. I chuckled and sat the bowl down beside me.
"Alex, just forget the spoon," Jessica said, "soup is better without a spoon anyway!"
She slurped down the rest of the soup Alex had given her. He gave up and left the room. I suddenly felt tired so closed my eyes to rest. Luna took my hand and began singing again. It was a lullaby this time.
"Luna, you always know how to make someone feel better...with just a song," I whispered.
I felt myself slowly getting weaker with each passing moment. I felt someone stroking my hair, probably Mia. When I listened carefully, past Luna's singing, I could hear Nash's lightening bolts hitting the ground and some of the kids screaming. Then I could hear Kyle talking about how to trick people into thinking you were drunk and then stealing their money. Then Nash screamed at Kyle. But then, I was too weak to concentrate that much so all I could hear was Luna's singing, then nothing.
"Aw, Nall's so adorable when he's sleep..."
"Yeah, 'cause he's not being a smart alleck."
"He's looks like a kid compared to us...but he's actually older than us..."
I opened my eyes and sat up but I bumped me head on an invisible force field. Everyone looked at me.
"Hey, he woke up," Kyle said.
"Do you feel any better?" Jessica asked.
"Yeah. But, what's with the force field? Did I go crazy again?"
"Well, you were starting to hallucinate so we decided it would be best if we used the confinement spell," Mia said, "but you never tried to hurt anyone."
She removed the magic barrier from around me. I yawned and scratched my nose.
"Thanks everybody...for taking care of me..."
"Don't worry about it," Nash said.
I smiled. It felt good to know I have such great friends to take care of me when I was sick.
"Nall..."
Brittany walked over to me with the rest of the kids. I had noticed that Ramus' little girl was here so that means that Ramus must've came while I was sleep.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Are you feeling better?" Artemis asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"We were worried about you," Knives said.
"Yeah! You were scary," Dyan said, "you would like, having seisures and stuff. Are you sure you okay?!"
I smiled and ruffled her hair.
"I'm fine. And, now that I feel better, lets go for a ride!"
The kids applauded, even Brittany.
"Hey!" Alex said, "Nall, I don't know if you're fully recovered."
"Pssh! I'm fine. I feel a lot better. It must've been Jessica's healing spell. Besides, I want fish!"
I ran out the house with the kids and transformed into my dragon form. I bent down so they could all get on me. I spreaded my wings as a sign that I was about to fly.
"Hold on tight kiddies!"
I could feel them grab the feathers on my back. They yelled and screamed letting me know they were ready and I took flight. I could hear Luna screaming for me to be careful because I was just recovered from my illness. I knew that I was probably going to get tired really soon and get worse again but it didn't matter. I just wanted to make these kids happy. We stopped by the old Spring that Alex and Luna used to practice singing at. They all jumped down to play around. I stayed in my dragon form so I could watch them all carefully. Dyan suddenly took out a camera and set it up.
"Lets take a picture so Nall can always remember us when we're little."
I blinked and chuckled (which sounded like a growl but the kids can tell the difference). He looked like Alex but he was just like Luna. They jumped on me and smiled at the camera, screaming. Dyan sat on my head and Artemis was sitting on my back with her legs crossed. Knives was on my tail and Brittany laid infront of me holding her head up with her hands. William stood on my back waving his Magic Rod in the air, conjuring up magic doves. Nana was also sitting on my back eatting a sandwich. It flashed, taking our picture. I still value that picture to this day.
