Kingdom Part 4
"Lys, Lysbet!" Drake whispered urgently shaking the sleeping eight-year-old gently. Seeing her open her eyes he placed a finger on his lips and began helping her down from her loft. "We've got to go Lysbet."
"Why where's Grandma Claudia?" Lysbet asked quietly staring up at her older brother.
"She's going to follow us soon Lys." Grabbing her hand and a bag that Grandmother had packed earlier that day he led her out the backdoor and into the dense woods just before a group of dragons burst into the now empty cottage where Lysbet once was.
Hours passed as Drake led Lysbet through the woods, backing up on their trail and moving in circles trying to lose any pursuers, Before finally reaching the northern border of the forests and the human village beyond.
Drake held Lysbet's hand tightly in his as they walked silently through the streets of the village and further away from the only home either of them had ever known. The dark cloak he wore protecting them from the cold wind that had picked up as soon as they left the relative safety of the woods, as well as any humans from seeing his features. It was dangerous for them here, but taking Lysbet back to the woods was not an option. The small group of dragons who had been against Lysbet living among them had grown in the past several years, eating away slowly at the small support group Lysbet had had. Grandmother had realized there was only one way to protect Lysbet now and that was for someone to take her to one of the human villages for awhile until the threat calmed down.
The sound of a police whistle made both Drake and Lysbet stop suddenly only to be run into by a thin boy holding a velvet bag. The boy stood up quickly forgetting the bag of gold as he bolted away from the scene. Drake and Lys had just stood up when the police surrounded them.
"Is this him My Lady?" The policeman asked grabbing the bag of gold from Drake's hand.
"I'd have to see him without the cloak?" A woman said walking up to the group of policemen. Drake backed up slowly but to no avail as another of the policemen grabbed the hood and pulled it down. The assembled group gasped in shock as they saw his green hair and silver eyes. Quickly Drake punched his nearest captor and dragged Lysbet out of the circle and beginning to run.
"DRAGON!"
"He's kidnapping that child!"
"Stop him!"
The yells followed the duo as they ran through the streets and finally stopping in the shadows of another building.
"We're going to have to separate Lys. I need you to go into that building there and hide. I'll find you when it's safe for me okay?"
Lysbet nodded fear in her eyes as she hugged Drake silent tears running down her face.
It would be the last time Lysbet would see Drake for many years.
