Chapter 2: I go out with an explosion

I sighed, "Well no point in staying here any longer. People are sure to be coming soon, to see all of the ruckus." I thought out loud.

I then honed in on my nature ability and focused on the blue aura life forces going out a only a few miles from my location. And I was about to head that direction till I heard a train. The train meant a station which meant a place to eat, and drink. And luckily, I had a credit card in my wallet or I would have to walk this whole journey.

Using my phone, I opened it up once again with a heavy breath and I pulled up Ember's name on my call list and clicked her name. After one single ring, she answered.

"What the hell Blake, I have been calling for the past half an hour." Ember said worriedly.

"Em, I landed like fifteen minutes ago. Listen I am fine, but I need you to please listen to me without freaking. Can you do that please?" I said.

It took her a couple of minutes, but she finally agreed.

So, I told her everything. I had promised to her to be completely honest with her, and this was me holding up my end of the agreement. I heard her breath hitch, as I told her about the dragon, and could hear her breathing start to get heavy. She was about to have a panic attack.

"Babe, you have to calm down, take deep breaths." I told her.

Her breathing was still heavy, and ragged, but she tried her best to reign it in. And after a few calming words to her she finally evened her breathing out.

"I want to iris face time you. I want to see if you really are okay, and if I can see you fully It would make me feel a lot better." Ember said her voice full of emotion.

I agreed, knowing this would be the only way to calm her. Iris face time was the equivalent to the mortal face time on their iPhone. We were just lucky these calls went through Iris, she basically had the best data plan you could get, unlimited calling, unlimited service. It was perfect. I didn't know the pricing, and I hoped my biological mother didn't have to spend a lot on Ember and I but I was grateful non the less.

So, I pulled down the app, for the Iris face time, and opened Embers contact number and instantly we were connected.

Ember looked as if she had just faced hell and came back.

"Blake, thank the gods. You don't look too hurt. Do you have any other injuries?" She asked.

Instantly I directed my phones camera to my arm, that was wrapped firmly in a bandage. I heard her breath hitch slightly. It wasn't healed yet since I still hadn't had a chance to heal it with my nature abilities.

"Love, its fine. I will heal it as soon as we end the call. Other than this little nick and a few bruises I am fine. How are you? You look as if you just took on three hell hounds on your own and came back." I said gently.

She bit her lip. "I-I just miss you. I feel a sense of emptiness, and now knowing you are in trouble, so far away and I can't really reach you, makes the feelings all that much worse. I guess I just feel a sense of restlessness." Ember said her eyes filling with sadness.

"Ember, I am sorry. I didn't realize you would be this distraught. I should've pushed my mother more." I said.

She shook her head. "You had no clue what was going to happen. It just seems you are prone to danger. As my mate, I should've pushed harder to go with you. That is my fault." She said, and I could tell she was beating herself up for it.

I gave a small laugh. "It seems we are both to blame then, but hey. I am going to head to this train and when I get there I will call you back okay. My phone is running slightly on the low side, and I want to get out of here before it gets too late. Its 3:30 here." I said.

"That's right time here and there is different. Here its only 10:30. Okay get there, but as soon as you are there please call me." Ember said pleadingly.

I nodded and smiled. "I swear on the river Styx."

She nodded in acceptance. "I love you."

"I love you too. Please get some rest. You look tired love." I said pointedly.

She nodded. "I promise."

I nodded and said one last good bye, then I pressed the end button. I then pulled up Iris maps, and typed my location to the closest train station. Turns out there was a transit station within walking distance, but it would take fifteen minutes to get there. Luckily, I didn't have to walk the whole way.

But first I knew I had to heal my wound. So, I put my hand to my shoulder and a small green hue appeared on my hand and my wound slowly started shutting and stitching together till finally it was healed, it was still slightly sore, but it would be fine. To ease the pain a bit I took some ambrosia out of a baggie that was left in my backpack and tore a small piece off and ate it. It took a moment, but eventually the pain dulled.

I took in a calm breath and focused on the mental image of a Pidgeon. I know not the greatest choice, but it would be subtle in an area like this and wouldn't draw attention. I thought of the gray feathers, with black outline, I thought of the rough slightly taloned pink feet, I thought of their rainbow and gray colored necks, and their white and black beak. And soon enough I felt my bones shift, shrinking, my legs slightly giving out and breaking and changing to small feathery legs, my feet shrunk and shrived. My arms shrunk and grew inward turning feathery, and lastly my neck and head started shrinking with my body, and I closed my eyes in pain till finally I opened my eyes once again and my eyes zoned in. My eye sight had been enhanced due to the change into a bird. My body was still in pain, but this compared to changing into a dragon was nothing, plus the effects of the ambrosia was still in my system so it dulled the pain quite a bit.

So, spreading my wings I took off in flight towards the direction my phone had told me to go in earlier. What would've taken me fifteen minutes had only luckily taken five. The station surprisingly was back at the airport. It was a transit train station. It wouldn't be the quickest way back, but it would be the safest. Since instead of being isolated, I would be surrounded by people and most monsters or dragons in this case would be less likely to attack due to the fact their existence is supposed to be under wraps.

It took me only a few minutes before I finally spotted my destination and I flew down to a spot I found was slightly secluded, so I could change without anyone noticing and I changed back to normal. Even when I reverted to my normal human form I noticed I still had a slight need to eat some bread I saw on the ground, but I waved my head and continued onward. Even with some of my transformation I have noticed that for a small amount of time after a transformation I would retain some of the traits that animal had. I was weird and awkward, but I ignored it.

I walked up to the terminal and the lady at the front who handed out tickets. The lady looked bored as if she really had a care in the world. She passed out a few tickets and went straight back to her phone. She was a younger lady. She popped her gum as she continued to type on her phone. She wore a uniform with the train stations name and a train logo, she also had a name tag with the name Brianna. I walked up to the lady and asked for one ticket from Gatwick to the Halzephron inn, but she just gave me a look as if I was the dumbest person at the station.

"Are you a tourist or something?" Brianna asked giving me a bored look.

I rubbed the back of my head and gave a chuckle. "That obvious?"

"Uhh you think. Anyway, there are no tickets from Gatwick to Halzephron inn. You have to board another train altogether and then another after that. You would have better luck renting a car and driving there yourself. Then again you don't look any older then thirteen where the hell are your parents kid?" Brianna asked.

I put my hand on the back of my head and thought for a second. I hadn't thought of doing something like that before, plus I didn't exactly have a license. I mean I knew how to drive with all the lessons my adoptive father had taught me when we would drive the razor, when we would go up hunting. But I hadn't thought of it before, and I was sure I would have enough since I had my card in my wallet. I just hoped that there wasn't a certain distance I could only go, and hopefully the mist would be enough to cover my age.

"Where exactly could I rent a car?" I asked using the mist to make it look as if I were older like sixteen and made her think I had been that age this whole time.

She grunted and swiveled in her chair and pulled a map of the U.K. from out behind her. "See here," she said pointing her manicured finger at the map, "is where we are and about a mile away is the airports car rentals, they have one near the halzephron inn so you would be able to return it there."

I nodded my head, and asked for a map around the city. She gave me another annoyed look and she nodded her head and handed me a map luckily it was free, but it was getting a little annoying how bad her attitude was. Finally, when I got all the information from her I looked out and made my way through the streets back to the airport. I made sure to stick with large crowds and just steered clear from making eye contact with anyone.

When I finally arrived back to the airport I looked back at the map I got from the ever so kind lady, and found what I was looking for. Then I looked back up and just a few yards away from the actual airport itself was the car rental store. I could see a multitude of cars to rent. From mustangs to corvettes. It was an amazing site to see.

I folded the map back up and tossed it in my backpack and started walking over to the building, once inside I was greeted by one of the car rentalist people.

"Why hello, young man are you looking for your parents?" the man asked.

The man had to be in his late thirties, he had a bald spot on the top of his head, and had brown eyes. He had to be at least a little over five feet, and had somewhat of a beer belly. He wore a pokadoted suit and a checkered tie with black slacks and black Nike shoes, not exactly what you would expect a car rentalist to wear exactly but the man himself didn't really seem to care about that type of stuff.

"Umm, no." I said using the mist once again to change my outward appearance.

"I am here to rent a car all the way to the Hazelphron Inn. I hear that you have a shop there where I could return it." I said.

"Why yes of course. Of Course, if you have an id and money we may rent out one of our cars to you." The man said with a weird look.

It was as if he was looking through the mist, but I waved that thought from my head. So, I pulled out my school I.D. from New York and showed it to the man. Using the mist, I manipulated it to where it would look like an actual car license.

"Ahh, Mr. Love right this way let me show you the many cars we have in use right now." The man said. "Oh, and yes I am sorry my good sir you do not know my name and, yet I know yours how rude, my name is Richard."

I reached out my hand and shook his hand. "Nice to meet ya."

We then both walked out the back to the cars. I saw many cars that would be perfect till finally I laid my eyes on the car or I should say jeep that I wanted to drive. It was a jeep wrangler. It had blue on the bottom and the other half black. It looked brand new as if never touched and it was perfect till of course it blew up.

My happy expression immediately turned to horror as I turned around and the man's arm was completely on fire, with cracks going throughout his arms and lava flowing through the cracks. And his fingers had formed into claws of molten rock and he had a fireball in hand and was aimed at me.

"Oh shit!" I shouted as I rolled out of the way of an incoming fireball and scrambled back behind a Ford Raptor.

"Hahahaha," he laughed manically, "really now you're going hiding back behind a tin can not exactly what I expected of the prince of dragons. This make things easy for me, such a dumb child!" The man named Richard shouted as he fired off another fireball melting the ford raptor into almost nothing. And using my orbs I shielded myself from the incoming blast of the truck.

As soon as I brought my shield down, he had another fire ball immediately back in hand and I summoned, up one of the orbs again from my pocket and blocked the incoming fireball attack luckily it didn't break through, but I could feel the head it was scalding.

"So, you do have tricks. No matter all princes eventually fall, I mean look at the queen and Kings eldest, dead before he could even be named king!" He shouted shooting off another fire ball, but I used my shield to block it once again absorbing the flames. And he continued his onslaught shot after shot, and with each hit I could feel my shield getting weaker. I used my other two orbs to join the first and it made the shield stronger. I looked ahead and noticed a Dodge challenger, it was silver with black stripes. And I knew I would have to make a rush for it, because this guy, he had a dangerous presence more so then most other dragons I had faced. His very presence was making the asphalt itself melt. And I could sense him getting closer his fiery aura was getting closer and closer to the shield.

"You know boy," he said as he kept shooting fireball after fireball, "Ginarth is offering a very generous reward for your head. Jewels beyond any dragon could want enough all for your head on a pike. I wouldn't get to comfortable while you are here boy, many dragons live here and your aura is like a shining beacon of light to us."

As he continued to talk about killing me and how he would, I waited, and waited till finally he was close enough and I used my orbs to spike out and I could sense it stabbing into his arms and legs but it didn't have the effect I expected to happen and my eyes widened in shock, and instead of a roar of pain like I had hoped it was a roar of annoyance. The orbs had spiked but the spikes had shattered against his lava skin not able to penetrate the obsidian rock. This dragon was no normal dragon. And as soon as he had roared I took off to the charger. Using my nature abilities, I made vines and trees grow around him to try to slow him down and luckily it did.

I hopped into the car and searched for the keys. And when finally, he roared and flames shot from all areas in the small forest I had created around him, all that was left of the trees were ash, and all I could see in the smoke were two glowing red and orange reptile eyes and another flame in the smoke.

I searched like mad until finally found the key, and I started up the engine. The car roared to life and I hit the car in reverse just as I would have had the razor and backed up dodging the incoming fireball. The fireball hit another car and caused another explosion to wrack the ground. I changed the gear into drive and slammed my foot on the gas and I took off swerving and dodging incoming flames. Till finally I hit a small jump and landed into the street, my heart pounding and my head wracked with a headache.

I drove the as best as I could. I wasn't the best drive since my only experience was an off-road vehicle, but so far it was my best chance at getting away. And luckily no police had pulled me over. I drove and drove until I finally felt I was far enough away where I could relax. I pulled into a small parking lot with a motel in front of me and parked in the lot. My arms had been singed, my ears were still ringing from the explosions and to keep my head from exploding I had silence A. His talking just made my head spin even more. I looked out my window and noticed the sun starting to set. I got out of the car, and went behind my car, the dragon would have record of the car I took. And I didn't know if it was the most legal thing, but I took off my license plate and went over to a nearby jeep and replaced theirs with mine. I put theirs on mine and I walked into the hotel main office and paid for a room.

I grabbed my pack, and my other belonging from my car and walked into my room. I looked out to make sure no one was watching me and when I felt confident I walked into my room to get a good night's rest from the craziness that had happened that day.
