Snakes and Dragons(chapter 8)
Joycica POV
It felt wierd just staying in the cave,nothing to do. Constant looking around,yet always nothing to look at. I felt lonely,I mean my sisters were still there...but someone was missing from the scene. Couldn't be Fangtom,oh no,I only met him a few hours ago. Maybe...Lloyd? Yes,it's been what seems like a eternity since I've seen him. Him on my claw with me,us talking away...sounds like one of those 'happily ever after' moments like in those stories mom would read. But dragons don't have happily ever after moments...do they? "Joy...JOY!" I hear a shouted whisper calling my name. "Lloyd?! Is that you?" I asked in a hushed voice. "Y-yeah. I'm over here!" I here Lloyd call. I see movement by the rocks,and I creep over to see my little prince charming waving me over. He seemed to be holding something...and he was wearing something too. I lept from my perch on my rock down below to Lloyd,making the leap with no sound like a panther. "Heh,nice moves." Lloyd tells me,then he hands me what he was holding...a bunch of lilies. "I-I wanted to bring you something and I thought maybe you would want some flowers. I-I didn't know if you liked lilies or not..." He kept mumbling. "Oh,Lloyd. I LOVE them! Thank you so much!" I say,lightly wrapping my tail around him,then loosinging it. "I'm gonna guess that was a hug." Lloyd joked. I giggled a...rather girly giggle for me. What was going on? Why was I acting like this? "Hey,Lloyd...what are you wearing?" I asked a little nervous about the answer. It was green,mostly,with shoulder pads that were silver. I could see there was a hood with a little bit of silver on the fore head. "Oh,my ninja suit. I'm supposed to be the green ninja!" Lloyd says,practically bragging. He does a little superman pose at the end,just making me giggle more. "Hey,Joy...how'd you do that?" Lloyd asks me. Do? Do what? I didn't...oh,no! I looked to see I turned into my human form. Brown eyes,long brown hair,English accent. "Oh...all dragons can turn into humans. It part of our powers. Help us talk to humans without causing any screaming and such." I tell him. " .Awesome." Was all Lloyd said before taking my hand and lightly kissing it. "L-Lloyd! W-where did THAT come from?!" I cried. This was really surprising...since when does the dragon get the prince?!
Lloyd POV
I couldn't resist,she was just so cute. I liked her when she was a dragon,but now I find out she can turn human! I held her hand as I lead her away from the main cave. Joy followed in surprised silence. I want to tell her how I feel,but would she feel the same way? Maybe if I showed her a good time she will. "I found a nice spot that I want to show you,now that your human it might be easier to get there." I tell her,looking her in the eyes. They were deep brown,oddly. Yet I could see a flash of blue at my words. I lead her to a open area with rays of sun hitting the ground in all sorts of patterns. "It's lovely...how did you find this place?" Joy asked breathlessly. Showing a her a good time...mission accomplished. "I'm glad you like it. I found it while trying to find you." I say. She giggles at this. "I'll show you how to find your way through a cave later,no one can do it better than a dragon." Joy jeers. I hear yelling come from right in front of us and I feel Joy's hand change. I look to see her hand was growing black,pink and silver scales. Her breath quickens and her eyes become blue. It's her heart rate! If she gets excited while in human form,she'll change back to dragon! "Hey,don't worry. I'm the green ninja." I reassure Joy before racing off to stop whatever was wreaking my plan.
Joycica POV
Next thing I knew,I was alone in human form. I knew I wasn't safe like this,so I changed back. After every last scale was back,I went to go see what Lloyd went after. When I arrived,time practically stopped. Lloyd was fighting these warriors made of darkness,a green snake creature was cowering underneath a attackers shadow,yet the moment I stepped out of the shadows everyone stopped. Lloyd was the first to move. He grabbed a sword and raced in front of me,turned around and started yelling at the warriors. There were two of them total. "Back away from Lasha! My closest friend here is not afraid to roast any one!" Lloyd shouted just as loud as he could. I soon caught on to his plan and roared as loud as I could. "Back AWAY from him,NOW!" I roared right at them,letting flames shoot out from my jaw. One of the warriors seemed very nervous,the other walked up slowly to me and spoke respectfully in a ancient language. I understood all of it,thank Draco star. He told me they can't just back away from a escapee or they will be severely punished by they're leader. I told him in the same language that I won't just back down about intruders in my boyfriend Lloyd's and my own territory without keeping one as a prisnor. He backed down after that little talk. "Now...are you going to leave or do I need to make you leave?" I ask the warriors in english. Both of them ran away,Lasha stayed rooted to the spot. "L-Lloyd! Heh heh. W-what a surprise! Please tell her to not hurt me." Lasha whimpered toward Lloyd. "You to know each other?" I asked. "Um,yeah. We have a history." Lloyd seemed a little uneasy about him. "Lloyd,lets go home. I'm sure the ninja will be looking for you." I said to break the tension. "Oh,yeah. Best head back." Lloyd said. He climbed onto my back and we went back to the cave. "H-hey,Joy?" Lloyd said. We had gotten back to the cave and it turns out Patriciana and Maraposa has gone out again. Lloyd was about to head home. "Yeah,Lloyd." I say. "Do...do you think we could ever be...more than friends?" Lloyd asked. My heart leapt at this. "Yes,Lloyd. I KNOW we can."
