Okay so it's been longer then i hoped to put up the next chapter but here we go

Allen had sensed something off and snuck out of the party while everyone was distracted; he was heading to the dragon's lair on the mountain. As Allen reached the cave in the side of the mountain he could hear a faint growl from inside; 'I wonder if it knows I'm here' he thought as he wondered into the mouth of the cave. As he turned a corner he found the creature, and what he thought was a growl was a sound coming out of the creatures slightly open mouth 'Its snoring' he thought to himself. The dragon stirred opening one large lemon yellow eye.

. . .

He was stirred from his sleep, hearing footsteps toward the cave mouth; he opened his eye and gazed at a small male human 'he's cute…'he thought. Quickly, so that the human couldn't react, he maneuvered himself so he was lying down, blocking the boys escape. He lifted his elongated neck to look into the humans eyes, he was originally going to kill him but something about the boy stopped him; he knew he was a monster hunter sent to kill him but still… The boy looked at him warily ready to fight if need be.

"Who are you boy?" the dragon asked in the tongue he had learned from the villagers.

. . .

Allen wasn't sure how to respond to the dragon's question; it wasn't acting like the monster it was made out to be… the way it blocked the exit did worry him though.

"My names Allen Walker, I'm a monster hunter and you are?"

"I'm a dragon" the creature joked showing its teeth; which Allen hoped was supposed to be a smile "No, really you can me Starik" the dragon said, his eyes studying Allen. Allen smiled slightly at Starik's joke that had rid the air of the tension between them.

Allen ended up talking to Starik for hours and had trouble thinking that he really deserved to be hunted; Allen walked back into town, it was midday and the town looked as if it was preparing for war but Allen was too exhausted to care and headed up to his room for sleep. Allen thought he understood how humans could befriend dragons, Starik was interesting and listened to what he had to say; on his way up he was interrupted by Toma and Kanda.

"Oi, Moyashi, where the hell have you been, we had to stand that stupid party by ourselves" Kanda said, glaring at Allen as he walked passed them and started up the stairs.

"I was talking to the dragon, it was fun and his name is Starik" Allen mumbled exausted.

"YOU WERE WHAT?" Kanda yelled his eyes cold and angry "Why would you talk to the lizard when you could kill it and we could leave".

"First, his name is Starik not lizard, second he's nice and I don't think he should die, third I'm tired and going to sleep "Allen said walking into his room to go to sleep leaving the two behind.

. . .

Starik was confused, he let the boy go but what was he going to do now; if his friend came to the mountain and tried to kill him he couldn't hurt him because Allen would hate him and he didn't want that, he grew too attached to the boy and that was dangerous… for the both of them.

Okay I have to finish chapter to early because of my families Christmas party so sorry for it being short anyway, cliffhanger!
