Knight's Dragon

Chapter 4: Starry Night

Michael sat on a small boulder, watching Kitt sleep. His shiny black scales reflecting the light of the stars above, making it seem like he was shimmering. Three days had passed and they had been through every section of the book. There didn't seem to be anyway to reverse the summons, but there was a way to get both humans back to their own time. However Michael would never leave Kitt. The red haired woman, who's name was Rianna Sinclair, seemed determined to go back. By any means possible.

He had been watching the way Rianna and the red dragon interacted, and it was a strange relationship. The dragon seemed to meekly do her bidding, but every thing from the hatred in his eyes to the way he hesitated defiantly, pointed to the simple fact that he didn't want to do anything she said. There was also the fact that she didn't seem to care if the dragon stayed here or not.

"Michael?" Kitt raised his head, the pattern of the stars shifting over his armored scales.

"Yeah buddy?" Michael slid from the boulder to kneel beside the dragon, sliding his hand over the dragons nose.

"You should go back, even if you can't take me." Michaels hand tickled his nose and he shifted to point his snout away from him as a sneeze surged forth, causing a small fireball to leave a scorched mark on the earth nearby.

"Never Kitt, I spent six months alone here. I won't leave you here to experience that. Besides, we're partners, We go together or not at all" Michael stood up and spread a blanket on the ground near the fire. Settling in he was asleep in no time.

Kitt sighed shifted to keep guard over Michael. But as the fire burned down, his eyes began to close and in almost no time he was fast asleep.

Rianna watched as they both fell asleep, then reaching into the neckline of her shirt, she pulled out an amulet. The amulet captured all the available light and reflected it, making it nearly impossible to tell its true color. It would easily hypnotize anyone who looked directly at it. Putting the person or dragon, fully under her control. At the moment she had the red dragon connected to it, and while it took a great deal of strength, she thought she was strong enough to connect Michael to it as well.

The red dragon was pretending to be asleep, but watched her as she moved to kneel beside Michael. He was full of anger and rage, but he was waiting to the right moment to fight back. He watched as she woke Michael, holding the amulet so that it was the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes. He felt her strength over him lessen as Michael quickly fell under the stones power. Pulling with all the power in him, fed by his anger he snapped the link to the amulet, growling in victory as he was freed.

Rianna noticed the dragon was free, but she didn't care anymore. She had Michael. And he was joining his power to hers to conjure the spell to return them to their time. She felt Michael fighting it, and exerted more strength. Just a little longer. A moment later she felt herself being pulled from this world, and grinned in victory, never seeing the struggle going on as they disappeared.

Kitts head jerked up at the red dragons growl, saw him launch himself at the humans. Leaping into motion, he hit the red dragon in the side to divert him from his path. The red dragon turned on him, his sharp fangs sliding over Kitts scales. Kitt looked past the dragon as they struggled, seeing Michael and Rianna vanish, he tried to back away. But the dragon launched at him and caught hold of his wing, ripping viciously. Kitt screamed as his wing broke. The blood red dragon was preparing to attack again when he stopped suddenly, and seemed to being to shimmer.

Above the pain in his wing, Kitt began to feel the swirling power that had brought himself here in the first place. He watched as the red dragon vanished, then the world around him vanished as well. The next thing he felt was the sensation of falling, and being unable to stop.

Michael jerked to full awareness, finding himself in the middle of the deserted warehouse he had been sent to so long ago. He lifted his wrist, but the Com-link was still gone. He sighed and lowered his head, only to jerk it back up as a rush of wind flowed through the building. Looking up he barely had time to dive to the side before the large black dragon crashed to the floor.

"Kitt!" Michael rushed to the dragons side, noticing the odd angle of the wing.

Kitt moaned then sank into the darkness that was awaiting him. Michael took advantage of this and pulled the wing straight, trying to reset the broken bones. Hearing another rush of wind he was startled to see Rianna appear not far away, then behind her, the red dragon crashed to the floor. Almost immediately the dragon was on his feet and had crashed through the side of the warehouse, vanishing. The red haired woman stared at him and Kitt for a second then leaped through the hole the dragon had left behind.

Sirens wailed in the distance and Michael knew he had to get Kitt out of here. "Come on buddy, wake up." He shook the dragon hard, and was rewarded by two pain filled blue eyes sliding open.

He talked Kitt into getting to his feet and following him. They cut across the country, avoiding houses, and any sign of people. The journey was slow. Kitts wing drug the ground and he was in constant pain from it. Morning found them on the edge of Foundation property. Coaxing Kitt onward, he led him to the garage.

Two hours later Bonnie would head to the garage, and would see the strangest thing she'd ever seen. Barely stopping herself from screaming, she took in the sight before her with wide eyes, her fingers pressed against her lips.

Lying sprawled against the hood and windshield of the Trans am was Michael. Lying curled around the car, its injured wing laying over the roof of the car, and its head and neck laying across the fender of the car next to Michael, was the first dragon she'd ever seen.
