Chapter 5: Motherly Love

It was the mid morning…almost to twelve. Everyday, Paula spent it with her mother or her father if he was home. Since she was blind, Paula never got into the idea of going to a regular school. Instead, her mother has been home schooling her since she was five.

Right now, Paula chilling on her floor while scanning her hand over a book with brail instead of words. Bonnie translated most her books so she able to read them herself. She was currently reading a story…

Because of the silence, Bonnie decided to bring up another new topic… "So honey, how's dragon training going." She whispered.

"It's going great!" She smiled, and turned the page. "Oh mom it was awesome, yesterday he taught me he to use my echolocation! I flew into the city and I actually knew where I was!!!"

"Wow." Bonnie gave out a vague smile. She leaned her arm onto the arm rest of the couch she was sitting. "I just want you to be safe, okay."

Just then, Will entered from the kitchen into the living room. He still had an hour until he had to go into work. "Honey, relax." He joined into the group and sat next to his wife.

"I'm just saying', I don't want her to get hurt." She looked over her shoulder at him.

Will knew exactly what she was trying to say. Even after 12 years, Bonnie still hadn't gotten used to the idea of magical creatures. "She'll be fine; my dad knows what he's doing…"

Bonnie brushed her hair back, and crossed her arms. "Will, she flew into the city! Something could have happened to her!" Paula was listening into their conversation as she was reading…but this talk wasn't an out of the norm event.

"-And if anything were to happen, she could handle it."

Just then, Paula shut her book. "You can't be serious, you're actually encouraging this! Paula can't see!!!"

"Its okay mom, I'm fine!" She jumped onto the couch, to go between them. "Grandpa is really helping me learn my dragon powers!"

Quickly, Bonnie opened her arms out and grabbed Paula. Paula strained her face as she was locked into her mother's grip. "I know! But it's bad enough I have know about this 'protecting the magical world' stuff, but you have to be apart of it!!" She almost was at the point to crying…

"Uhh…mom"

"Bonnie, we have already been through this."

Suddenly, let go. "I know. I'm just saying, if anything bad happens to our daughter…" She was giving herself a cheer.

"Paula, please continue reading…" Will patted Paula on the back. She hopped onto the floor picked up where she left.

Just then a timer went off from the table. Paula ran over, to turn it off. Her shoes were right under the table, she quickly put them down. "Its 12:30 gotta go to dragon training…"

Setting her hands to her hips, Bonnie stood up and stared down at her daughter. "Paula, you didn't finish your readings."

Paula stopped in her tracks just as she headed out of the door. She debated on what she wanted to say, "But mom, please I'll do it later." She pressed her hands together. "I promise."

That wasn't going to budge her that easily. But just then she felt a cold hand touch her side. "Let her go." Will nodded her head.

She couldn't resist it from her husband, "Awww, alright." She turned her head.

"You want me to drive you there sweetie?" Will grabbed his keys from the side table.

"No it's okay dad," She dragoned up as stepped out the door. "I can fly there!" Then, she was off.

Suddenly, Bonnie's eyes widen. "Fly there? Alone!!" She ran to the door, but it was too late; she was gone. Will grabbed her shoulders, but Bonnie pushed them off. "More and more, this dragon stuff is getting on nerves."

"Everything's going to be okay… you can't worry about them the whole time…"

"But Will!" She screamed out. "She'll not even 12! Even so, SHE CAN'T SEE!!" Her motherly instincts were kicking in.

Will grabbed her hands, and held them downward. "Bonnie, understand, she's a dragon now. This is her destiny. Dad knows what to do with her; you just have to accept that…"

Looking into his eyes, slowly Bonnie looked downward. "Your right." She finally admitted. "I'm just…scared. I don't know these magical things; I don't know what she could get into…"

"I know. But, she'll be alright. Trust me on this."

Bonnie let go of his hands, and walked off. "I know."

This was just a chapter I decided to do on this story. Shows how much Bonnie isn't use to this magical stuff. Also, it foreshadows some events for the future:) So keep that in mind.
