Chapter 9

By the time Alissa got to Artranix I was standing in between them, not exactly knowing what Alissa had planned but I didn't want to know.

"Hold on" I said making Alissa stop and look at me as if I was growing a second head. "What are you planning?"

"Well if you really must now" she said as she walked around me and looked up at Artranix "I was hoping to plan a search party to find our friends."

"Really" I asked relived of the answer she gave "I thought you would tell someone"

"Oh yeah that to" she cut in as she saw Artranix growl and she started to back away.

"Why would you rat us out" I asked as she was still backing up as she bumped into a tree

"Because someone has to know otherwise the whole town will be in a panic, plus I was only going to tell link," she said as she leaned against the tree and just stared.

"If you will please excuse us" I said as I lead Artranix out of hearing view "I don't like it I mean sure she has a point but how do we know if they will kill you or something."

"Well we really can't do anything," he said as a gust of wind blew by "I guess we will just have to trust her only to tell him"

"I guess," I said as I started to walk back to alissa "fine you can tell link but only link"

As I turned around to ask if Artranix wanted to go fly he was acting very strange. His head was up in the sky and had an almost angered look on his face, not only that but he was growling.

"Does he have rabies or something?" my friend asked as she came up next to me "because he doesn't look okay"

Of course I took my friends word "Artranix are you okay" I asked as I slowly walked towards him. When I was 1 foot away from him he looked down and growled at me.

"Go back" he said angered by something "go back to Ordon"

"What?" I asked not moving and didn't intend to "why?"

"Because you and your friend will be in grave danger if you don't get out of here"

By the time he said that we heard a menacing roar from up above we all looked up to see what looked like a bird flying in circles but was breathing out flames. Artranix growling stopped and he then leapt up into the air towards the bird like thing now figuring out that it was another dragon Artranix was growling at.

"Alisa" Alissa said tugging on my arm "lets put Artranix words into good use and lets get out of here"

"No I don't want to just abandon him here" I said refusing to go "why don't you get link and tell him to come here"

"But" Alissa protested only to get shoved

"I said go!"

"Jeez don't be so angered" alissa said as she ran towards Ordon Village.

I looked back up to see the other dragon was winning or so what it looked like. Artranix wasn't flying normally but more like as if one of his wings were hurt, not only that but he looked down right exhausted. As the dragons flew there they charged at each other again and again. By the time they were charging for the 5th or 6th time Alissa came followed by link. Of course link looked totally confused and looked like he was ready for a fight. Probably because Alissa didn't tell him all of the information there was.

"What seems to be the problem" he asked as I pointed up into the sky by the time he found out what was going on he needed to do something about it "is there anything I can do?"

"Actually you can," I said still looking at the fight in the sky "if anyone sees this fight take place make sure to keep the people calm, and i'm sure you can do that"

"Oh okay" he said as he left once again leaving me and alissa to just stare into the sky hoping that everything would be okay. Well I was thinking that but I don't know what alissa was thinking and I don't want to know.

"Hello" we heard a voice not very far from where we were "anyone here"

"Why does that voice sound so familiar" I wondered as we both looked toward the direction of where the voice came from "oh shit how the hell did he get here"

Of course I knew whose voice that was, it was the one person that I liked and no one knew, who it was- except me- as he turned the corner I heard alissa say

"Well if it isn't Jesse Burns," she said as she walked towards him "what a pleasant surprise, so what brings you here"

Jesse looked of course to me always looks friggin hot, even thought he looked like he had trouble getting here, his green shirt was full of branches and his short brown hair was a little frizzled but I didn't mind it, other wise everything else was fine his shoes were of course skater shoes but doesn't skate, and he was wearing lose fitted jeans, but of course I was just standing gapping at him. Luckily alissa was trying to get a conversation going and not noticing me staring at him.

"So how did you get here?" Alissa asked

" I don't know one second i'm doing sound to help with the play and now i'm here"

"Oh" she said sounding a little disappointed

"Alisa!" Artranix yelled making me jump "what are you doing I have been trying to contact you for the past minute!"

"Sorry" I said as I broke my gaze from Jesse "something has come up"

"Well could you at least pick up the pace and head to Ordon now!"


"Yeah but I can't ditch you" I said looking up into the sky seeing him aim for the enemies throat

"Well to bad…" he snapped as he missed his target only to get hit in the stomach of the enemies tail.

Artrainx lead out a roar…not of anger but of pain. This time alissa and jesse looked up to see him come crashing down towards the earth.

"whoa" jesse said as we watched Artranix still falling "never seen that before"

As Artranixs limp body went behind a bunch of trees. I looked up to see the black dragon roar menacingly as it flew away.

"that bastard!" I said as I watched the dragon fly away.

I turned around to see Jesse stunned and confused at the same time.

"sorry" I said as I walked past him "long story"

"its not really that long" Alissa said "the story starts when I come in"

I rolled my eyes as I started to walk towards the direction where Artranix crashed

"come on" I said as I walking towards "lets go find the dragon"

"Artranix" I asked as i ran toward Ordon "where are you"

"you wil… never believe… it" he said his voice rasped "I am at the…ranch again"

"your kidding" I said as I crossed the bridge toward Fados ranch "ok well were almost there"

As Igot to Fados ranch I saw fado poking Artranix with a stick and apparentaly he wasn't liking it because he looked like he was going to bite fados head off. As soon as I got there so did Jesse followed by Alissa who was gasping for breath.

"you know what" she said heading for a rock "im just going to sit down for awhile"

As I approached fado who was still poking Artranix with a stick, he stopped and looked at me with the most "courageous" look on his face as if he just slayed the dragon himself.

"may I ask fado what the hell you are doing"

"oh well you see" he said as he backed away from the dragon and stood in front of me "I was just minded my business and herding up the cattle just then this dragon falls out the sky out of nowhere and kills 2 of my goats"

I of course found it hilarious seeing 2 goats getting squished underneath Atranix, I held back my laughter and let him babble on about how he so called "hurt" the dragon. Im guessing with a stick.

"ok" I said walking past Fado towards Artranix "I'll take care of it"

"what your going to kill it" Fado asked filled with estatic

"no" I said as I knelt down towards Artranix "I'm going to take care of him"

"What" he said as he walked backwards and tripped on a rock.

After that I ignored him the rest of he time as I looked at Artranixs wounds, they were bleeding but not that bad, as I continued to examine the wounds I heard alissa yell

"Hey Alisa, remember when Jesse sees blood he faints"

I of course totally forgot as I turned around I saw Jesse on the ground with Alissa knelt next to him.
