The next day Brittany woke early in the morning to go to work in place of her uncle, she did her usual work and also sold the different things he and mostly also she fabricated, ending the work day exhausted that afternoon when she had to close safely everything and leave the money that she had gained at her uncle's house in the exact place he had told her, under one of the boards from under the bed in his room. She went home and flopped into her bed, stretching her limbs and closing her eyes until she remembered that she had made one of the prototypes for the dragon she had drawn on the few times she had nothing to do but had forgotten it at the store.
She went in and picked it off the floor, it was made of darkened leather and had several straps with buckles at the end to hold it tight; she was pretty proud of her work and really hoped it would work fine if the dragon let her put it on its tail.
The blonde thought for a while if it was smart to go there tired as she was but thought that if the dragon hadn't hurt her after several noisy attacks and no actual physical damage done she could kind of trust the beast so she decided to go.
Once she reached the lake she found the dragon once again cuddled beside the water but in the moment she approached it more its dark brown eyes opened and looked at her, then to the water and it got up and got closer to the lake diving its head and taking a fish when it came out of it then swallowing it full without taking a bite; Brittany remembered she hadn't eaten yet and so did her stomach, letting out a roar that could almost compare to the ones of the black beast that looked at her with surprise, Brittany could have swore that it smirked a bit but she thought it her imagination.
The dragon walked on its hind legs up to her and then started to make guttural sounds until it regurgitated half of the fish it had just eaten and presented it to the blonde.
"For me?" the blonde asked, the dragon looked at her and then at the half fish as if telling her 'go on, eat it'.
She picked it up off the ground and looked up to the dragon that looked at her expectantly, she took a bit and swallowed without chewing, she wasn't really one for raw fish.
The dragon drew its tongue out and made it look like it was saying 'tasty, right?'
"Very good" Brittany conceded, half hiding a disgusted shudder.
The dragon wandered round the place a bit while Brittany picked a branch off the floor and started to draw on the floor listening to the happy sounds the dragon was making at times.
The beast had stopped making noises but she hadn't really given any thought to it until she felt more than heard it behind her and turned a bit, finding it closer than she thought.
"Ah!" she screamed "don't scare me like that! You almost killed me" she clutched her chest over dramatically.
The dragon actually rolled its eyes and looked at the drawing, it was very good and it actually looked familiar, the beast went to the water and looked into it then at Brittany and then beside her to the drawing.
"Yes, it is you" the blonde said nodding.
The dragon came back to the girl's side and sat on its tail reminding the blonde what she had in her satchel.
"I have something for you" she spoke again, the dragon looking expectant "it's something to fix your tail, if you let me put it on we can see if it works"
The beast makes no sign that it understood so the blonde goes to touch its face, it growled lowly at the fast approach and the blonde stopped, letting her hand hanging in the air, and closed her eyes as if letting the beast know she trusted it. After a few seconds she felt warm reptile like skin touch her hand and she opened her eyes, the dragon had put its head to her hand an had its eyes closed at the moment, she moved her hand a bit, caressing the skin and then let her hand down.
The dragon opened its eyes and looked into the blues of the blonde with huge meaning, with trust.
"Can I?" the blonde asked showing to the beast the leather invention.
The dragon gave no answer but she went to its back either way and crouched down touching first with her fingertips and then with the full hand the injured tail that had already healed but still was left without part of it. The beast made no movement so she straddled the tail and started to work on strapping it to the tail.
Once she ended she opened full the prosthetic half tail and thoughtfully looked at it.
The dragon on this moment had felt what the blonde had being doing and spread its wings, taking flight a second before.
Brittany held however she could onto the tail she had being straddling and then moved to ride on the beast's back and then shoulders but she had forgotten one thing, the contraption was made to be held open and moved by someone or something and it was in this moment left alone, she got to know in the bad way.
The dragon started to fall down, diving straight ahead into the ground beside the water and even if it tried to turn it was unable to do so, Brittany with the force of the wind couldn't hold on anymore and was now falling beside the beast, maybe slower because obviously she weighted less than a dragon but falling none the less. The dragon made a harsh movement beside her and with a wing drew the girl closer, forming a cocoon around her when they got closer to the ground, it was protecting her!
They finally fell into the ground pounding a few times until they stopped, in that moment the dragon opened its wings letting a completely safe Brittany out.
She got up and waited until the dragon did to look at it, worried that it got hurt, she found no would, the dragon did the same once she finished and when it found that she was completely fine lapped its tongue repeatedly against the girls cheek, making her screech.
"I'm okay!" she said swatting her hands at the beast and then wiping her cheek on the sleeve of her shirt.
She grabbed the face of the dragon and looked into its eyes.
"I'm fine thanks to you, you've saved me" she spoke again and then kissed the dragon between the eyes, closing hers.
After that moment things happened fast, a blinding light made the girl skip a few steps back, a rock made her fall and when she opened her eyes when the light went away, waiting to find her dragon she saw something she wasn't expecting, a fully naked girl with the most beautiful black hair and the most soft looking caramel colored skin she had ever seen in her whole life. And she was smiling down at her.
