Dimitri's P.O.V.

I sat in my old red chair that was in the back of the old, stuffy library that I had spent most of my time in when I was growing up. The books that were centuries old had proved a challenge to read at the age of five, but I did it and now that I am older I have read all the books that called this room home. I could tell you what the square root of pie is, all the kinds of birds that fly in the air and the ones that live on the ground, the entire history of the human and dragon race, and more. I have been told that I am smart and compared to a human I am very smart, but compared to other dragons I am a little slow.

I am a lot older then I usually say I am because dragons age differently, but we do age unlike vampires. Our year lasts about one hundred years for humans. Well, it only works that way when you are with other dragons. If you are like Missy, my mother's sister and leave other dragons to have half dragon children who are usually easier to conceive, you age just like a human. Although, there are ways around that kind of thing, it just takes a bit to get all of the things together to do it. Our aging system is a jumbled up mess and really it was very confusing, but it worked for us. With that said, there is also another catch with our aging process. We age like humans until we are seventeen and then, when we become true adults, then we age like the adults.

My age in human years is 183, which means that I am going to turn 19 in about 34 years. ((A/N: If you do the math you will find that 183-17 is 166. If every hundred years is one year to them that leaves 66 years of being 18 for Dimitri. You can probably do the math from there.)) I do have to say that living that long is not fun, but it's kind of nice. Like I said, I have been able to learn a lot in that time period so if I really wanted to go off into the human world I could and I would be able to get the best job in the world. What that job is, I'm not sure, because I have lived in the woods for 183 years. I knew what was going on in the world, but I don't know if I would be able to fit in.

"Go away Carly." I groaned, leaning back into my chair while I let my head fall back so that it was hanging over the edge of the red velvet chair.

"Come now brother." Carly's sweet 'innocent' voice muttered softly as she sat down on my lap like she always did. She was very young, no older then twelve years old, but most of the time she talked down to me instead of looking up to me like she should. "I just wanted to spend some time with you. Is that so bad?"

"Since when did you care about spending time with me?" I said in an annoyed and tired voice. I knew that I shouldn't let my sister sit on my lap simply because all dragons, whether they are related or not, are always attracted to male nobles. Okay, so male noble dragons always go for the females and the females always go for the males, unless you are me. I'm the strange one. I like guys. There are a few others like me, but there is probably ten other gay dragons out of a population of two hundred. Of course there are probably more then that, but that's a rough guess.

"Since now." She chuckled, wrapping her arms around me loosely. I ignored it because I knew that she wouldn't do more then that. After all she was my sister. She would feel the attraction a lot less then another dragon. We aren't exactly the best breed of mammals*, but it's not like we really had a choice of how it works.

"Get off." I groaned, letting my eyes go from the ceiling to her delicate, pale face. She was almost like a porcelain doll with her fair skin and flawless features. Her light blue eyes where large and innocent and she had the dark, long eyelashes that made her look like future model. Of course, any dragon could do it, she would just look better for the part. Not tat I was saying that my sister is hot, far from it, but… shit, I'm just digging myself a deep hole here. I need to stop thinking about that.

"Oh fine." Her pout didn't work very well because I could see the grin that had taken over her mouth as she tried to pout. She was enjoying herself and that scared me. What was she thinking? "Oh relax; I know what you are thinking. I haven't done anything yet, but trust me I have something up my sleeve." With that she pecked me on the cheek and skipped out of the library, her dress flowing behind her.

Sighing to myself, I let my head fall back once again so that I could rest for a few seconds more. I really didn't want to do this at the moment. My head was spinning and it pounded as I let her last sentence run through my head over and over. What the hell was that girl up to?

"Sir, Master Jacob is awake. He has asked to speak to you." One of the 'servants'* that worked here muttered from a few feet away. I huffed and looked at him with a pitiful look. "Should I tell him you have fallen asleep sir?"

"No, tell him I'll be right there." I didn't really want to talk to him yet, but I don't think I really had a choice at this point.

The servant, whose name I had never learned, nodded to me and walked out of the room. I listened as his foot steps became quieter before I actually got up out of the chair. I really didn't want to be here right now. Jacob was going to ask why I had kissed him and to be honest I didn't have an answer for that. I just did what seemed like I should do at the time. This so isn't fair.

Taking in a deep breath to prepare myself I shoved my hands into my jean pockets that were so dark they probably matched my pitch black hair. I was born with these red tips in my hair if you can believe it. Every time I cut my hair they come back almost instantly. It's like there is a curse on my hair that makes the tips of my hair red, but it's just the tips. I like it, but the rest of the clan finds it odd. I'm the only one with cursed hair. Lucky me right?

As I started too walked a large wolf came running towards me, teeth bared and hackles raised up. The eyes didn't look like Jacob's so instantly stopped and took a step to the side. Although I thought it would let me slip past as it ran, it came to a stop before me, looking straight at me as another growl came from deep in its chest.

"Can I help you?" I asked, letting my hands slowly slide out of my pockets so that the wolf could see I wasn't holding anything in them. The wolf didn't seem to calm down though.

"Dimitri!" Carly screamed the terror in her voice let me know instantly that this wasn't her idea.

The wolf snapped its head around to look at Carly, who was standing in shock at the doorway of the library. It gave me just enough time to give myself wings and let myself fly high enough to be on top of a book case. When the wolf looked back at me it growled and pushed against the book shelf. Just as the large wooden object tilted to fall over I jumped off, letting my wings help me glide over to my sister. The wolf was at my heals so I only had time to wrap my arms around her and make sure that her back was against a wall. Although I felt the teeth of the large animal ink into my shoulder, I had to make sure that Carly wasn't hurt. She may be annoying little thing, but she was my sister. I kind of have to protect her.

I heard Carly's scream of terror again and when I looked over my shoulder there was yet another wolf. This one wasn't focused on me though. It was looking straight at the other wolf that was no longer attached to my bleeding shoulder. I took in a deep breath and grabbed my sister's jaw so that I could force her to look at me.

"Go invisible." She nodded shakily before her eyes changed and she went invisible. "Good, not get out of here. Get mom and dad." I whispered before letting her go and turning to face the two wolves.

That had been the wrong move because the one that had attacked me earlier attacked me again, pining me to the ground. Its jaws went straight for my neck and it was hard to keep him away from my vulnerable neck. I grabbed a hold of the wolf's lower jaw and pushed back so that its jaw was pressed against its neck. I could tell it was uncomfortable by the way the wolf was moving it's head, but it didn't bite down, which was the goal here.

"Jacob!" I screamed, knowing that's who the other wolf was. "I'm sorry about earlier. Just help me!" My cry for help was pathetic, but it was all I could do without shifting and killing the entire building. At first nothing happened as if Jacob hadn't heard me, but I knew perfectly well that he could.

Then after a little while the other wolf was knocked to the floor next to me and I was able to scramble to my feet. My hand hurt and it was bleeding, but I ignored it as I moved so that I was behind Jacob. I didn't want him to get hurt, but he seemed to be able to hold his own against another wolf. I on the other hand can't really do much besides stumble around in my human form. I can make my eyes switch and make my wings come out, but those would be of no use. I could only glide with my wings and my eyes would just look creepy. I don't think the wolf will run off in fear if I changed my eye color, no matter how much I wanted it to.

Nonetheless, I closed my eyes for a moment, letting my eyes adjust to the dragon sight before letting my eyelids flutter open. My bright red and black eyes glared at the wolf that had attacked me, the snake like pupil, making my vision a lot like a magnifying glass. I could see every detail of the intruder and now I knew exactly what they looked like if I ever spotted them again.

I listened as Jacob let out a low growl, that wasn't really threatening, but it did have a bit of warning in it. Warning against what?

All of a sudden, Jacob shifted back to human form and he stood tall, looking back at me for a moment before shifting his gaze back to the wolf in front of us. It took a moment, but I think the other wolf finally got the hint and shifted as well, taking form of a strong Indian man who looked a lot like Jacob, but older. Definitely older. His broad shoulders were slumped a bit and his eyes were crazed as if he had had a very bad week. His long black hair was covering most of his shoulders and part of his chest, while he was panting heavily.

"Who are you?" I asked, keeping my dragon eyes so that I could make a mental note of the human. I had to admit that he and Jacob were rather cute, but I think my gay senses were telling me that I would have better luck with Jacob.

"Sam. Are you the one that killed Emily?" His voice was hoarse, but powerful. Sadly, he was trying to act like he was in control here, now that my parents were on their way, he wasn't in control any more. They are both very powerful and could make him ash with a flick of the hand. He better watch himself.

"Emily?" I looked at Jacob for help.

"The dragon in the forest."

"She was not a dragon!" The boy that called himself Sam hissed.

"Shut up Sam!" Jacob barked.

"Yes. I killed her." I muttered softly, knowing that Emily must have been someone this boy was attached to. "Although if I hadn't then Jacob would be dead and I would be here alone right now. Most likely dead because of you."

"You should pay with your life for killing her." Sam growled darkly.

"Sam!" This time Jacob didn't stand for what Sam was saying. Without time for something else to be said Jacob threw himself at Sam and in mid air they both shifted, growling and biting at each other. That's when my parent's finally showed their faces.

"That's enough!" My dad's powerful voice rang through the halls and on habit I turned towards him and dropped to one knee. He may be my father, but he was the brother of the king. He had just as much power so I showed him respect by bowing. Although I didn't drop my head like anyone lower then me, I did drop so I was shorter then he was.

My father's white hair was long, going down to his waist, but was pulled back into a low pony tail, making his sharp features stand out. Because we are dragons we may get old, but we hardly wrinkle. He was shorter then me, but only by about four inches, which made him about six foot two inches tall. His broad shoulders were not slouches like a normal persons would be. His stood straight, making the black red colored shirt fall off just right. His black slacks hugged his waist, making the fabric reveal a few of the muscles that the older mad had. Just because he was over five thousand years old didn't mean that he was really all that old. He was only 60 in dragon years and we usually live to be over one hundred.

I heard the scuffle behind me stop instantly and I knew they were looking over this way, but I didn't move. I staid down on one knee, looking up at my father who was glaring at the two behind me while the other two behind me probably just looked at him with dropped jaws.

"Why are you two fighting in my castle and why have you injured my son?" I didn't want him to say that last bit, but I knew I wouldn't like his reaction to the reasoning for the first part of his question.

"Your son killed my fiancé!" Sam screamed furiously, which meant that he had switched back.

"Shut your mouth Sam! He killed her because she was going to kill everyone else! You are such a fucking idiot."

"Son of a dead puppy."* That was Carly, who had randomly chimed into the conversation.

"Carly, please. Shush." That was my mother. She was always the quiet, gentle one of the family. I guess that's what mothers do.

"I know what my son has done and he had good reason to do so. You, on the other hand, had no right to come to our territory and attack our son who simply acted out of the well being of everyone else. You are being a selfish boy who would rather see others killed then realize that the person they loved have become a monster." My father's voice was furious and I knew that wasn't good.

"Father, please. I know this is a bad time to ask this, but could you finish the healing for me? I mean on Jacob. That way we don't have to worry about someone else coming for an unexpected visit."

My father seemed to contemplate this for a while before nodding his head. He motioned for Jacob to come over, which he did, just hesitantly.

"Stand still." Jacob did as he was told and with that he was healed by my father. That's when I felt a serge of pain go through my body. It was weird, but I knew what it was from. Healers, while in other healers' presence, feel the pain that the victim felt for a moment simply because healers are sensitive to pain. God I hated this, but loved it at the same time. When the pain ended I got to my feet and grabbed Jacob's arm, pulling him towards my room.

"I'm going to get him ready to go. I'll walk him to the edge of the forest." No one said anything, but I didn't care. Taking in a deep breath I pushed Jacob into my room and found some of my own clothes. He didn't really have any clothes.

"Thanks."

"No problem. Now put these on." I tossed him a black button up shirt, a pair of jeans, a new pair of boxers, and some shoes. I put aside another set of clothes for his friend, who I didn't really like. "You can climb on my back outside. I'll be a lot faster then you will be trust me. I don't have to worry about obstacles."

Jacob simply nodded and put on the clothes. The clothes fit perfectly on him and it made me smile. Although I wiped the smile off my face as I grabbed the other set of clothes and went out into the hall way, giving it to Sam.

Sam put on the dark green shirt that was huge and the jeans that fit perfectly. He also put on the old boots that I never wore anymore and I realized that I had just given him the worst outfit in my closest. It wasn't bad because the large green shirt wasn't actually that big on him and it looked like he was just being casual, but it wasn't what I usually wore.

"Let's get going." I muttered as I stated to walk briskly off towards the main doors of this castle. Both boys' behind me grunted and followed, heads hung a bit like they had been scolded. They hadn't been, or at least not in my family's standards, but I know that they probably fell under my fathers charm spell that he cast without noticing it. Everyone seemed to want to please him for some odd reason.

As we went outside I told Sam the plan and when he went to protest I looked up to a window, seeing my dad looking down at us. Sam instantly shut up and agreed to the plan. It made me laugh that my father had this kind of control, but I kept the laugh to myself.

"Ready?" They bother nodded and I shifted, my wings coming out of my back, ripping the skin in a sickly manner. My legs grew and bent, the bones cracking and popping so they could go into the right shape. It only took me a few seconds to shift, but it always felt like it took forever.

I planted all four of my feet on the ground before laying my large body down. I was a huge dragon, but that was only because of my static. You see, the larger you are at birth, the higher the ranking you will have when you become older. I am larger then the currant king, which means when the king dies, I will become the king and I don't really like this system because of that. I don't wanna be king.

When I was positions, I motioned for them to climb on my back, which they did. It took them a moment to get a good hold, but when I knew they had I flapped my wings so that I could get off the ground. When I was a good hundred feet off the ground I pushed myself forward so that I was flying towards the woods entrance as fast as I could, which meant that I was going at least 200 miles per hour. It was actually slow for some dragons, but for me it was fast. Although I could tell by the shaking in the boys bodies on my back that they were scared out of their wits and I felt bad. It was actually kind of funny.

Once I was at the edge of the forest I found a clearing and I slowly made my way down to the ground. After my feet were firmly on the ground I let the two quivering boys off my back. They were shaking like two school girls that have just got out of a scary movie. It was funny, and I couldn't help, but chuckle to myself. Although the chuckle was kind of dark because I was still in my dragon form, my true form.

When they were far enough away I changed back into my small human self and stretched out my body.

"You wouldn't believe how free I feel when I'm a dragon." I said a smiled spread across my face.

"Remind me never to do that again." Jacob muttered. Sam simply nodded his head in agreement and stood behind the younger boy.

"Alright alright. I should have warned you about that, but I thought you two were big boys and could handle that, but from the looks of it I may have been wrong."

After that was said all three of us were quite, just standing there. It was awkward just being there. I kissed Jacob and killed Sam's lover. Sam attacked me and fought with Jacob and poor Jacob was stuck between us. I felt bad for him, but he wouldn't be there for much longer. I wouldn't be able to go past this point. Not without something to keep me from going insane.

Taking in a deep breath I took a step forward and wrapped my arms around Jacob, who went a bit stiff. I couldn't help, but sigh realizing that he probably thought I would kiss him again, which I wouldn't.

"Calm down Jacob and go home. This is far as I can go. I just wanted to say bye and all that jazz." I took in a deep breath before letting him go and taking a step back. "If you want to come back and visit just take a step into the forest and call my name. A dragon somewhere will here you and report it to me and I'll come pick you up." I paused to look over at Sam. "That goes for you too. I may not like you much now, but maybe under different circumstances we can be friends."

"Don't count on it." Sam's voice was still hoarse, but it was getting a little better.

"Alright alright. Now get going."

With that both of the werewolves turned and slowly made their way out of the forest. I hoped I would see them again, but somewhere, deep inside of me knew that I probably would never lay eyes on them again.

Notes:

*1- I have them as mammals simply because it would explain them being human a little better, while they aren't exactly cold. So, hopefully that explains that.

*2- The servants at the castle aren't really there because they have to be. They are just dragons that don't really have anything else to do or like to serve people.

*3- 'Son of a dead puppy' I got from a book called Once Dead Twice Shy by Kim Harrison. If any of you peoples wants to read it go to the book store and buy it or go to the library. It's the first book of a series and I think there is another one out, I'm not sure, but I think you people should read it because it is simply amazing!

Anyways that's all that I have for this chapter. I am really sorry that it took me so long to actually come out with this chapter. Between college and AP classes I have been overloaded with homework and have been unable to do any writing. In the past couple days I haven't had much homework so I decided to make this. I hope you all liked it and I hope that you will all review. I love talking to the people that read this. It's so much fun! Oh and by the way… Vampire Dairies (the show) is fucking awesome! Ok, talk to you later people! - Nikki
