Godwin's Dragon Leash

Chapter Four

By KellyQ

Jack sat up, his arm felt like was burning. He looked down at the mark on his arm. The mark was the shape of dragon wings that went from his elbows to his wrist. Jack got out of bed and went to the bathroom. He turned the tap water on and put his arm under the cold water. This is the second time I felt my mark hurting me! Yusei better not be coming after me! This type of environment wouldn't work for him anyways, Jack thought, staring at his own reflection.

Jack was a good-looking man of about 17. He had blond hair that spiked out like fox ears. His side hairs curved around his face like pinchers and his thin long side hairs that hung below the coller. Jack's slanted violet eyes held intense power.

"Mr. Atlus ...? Is everything alright?" came Mina's voice. She came in with a worried expression.

"Where is Godwin? I need to -" before Jack could finish, he grunted in anguish, feeling hot pain surge through his arm.

Mina ran up when she saw pain flash across Jack's face. "Mr. Atlus!? What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

"M - my arm feels like it's on fire!"

Mina stared down at the mark on Jack's arm to see that it looked all inflamed. She jerked Jack forward and put his arm underwater again. Mina opened the cabinet door and pulled out the first aid kit.

"Put that away," Jack ordered calmly, with a grunt. "I don't need it."

Mina stared at the blond. "B - but you're hurt?!"

Jack grunted again as he pulled his hand out of the water and turned the tap off. The blond turned and walked out. Mina followed and realized where Jack was going.

"Wait! Where are you going? You should be resting!" Mina panicked, racing after Jack.

"My arm has been hurting me for the past few days and he's going to tell me why, whether he's busy or not!"

Black Rose Dragon threw herself against the cage and snapped her jaws when Godwin came close. The gray-haired man stepped back and stared into yellow pupils that held intense anger.

"You need to calm down. Ancient Fairy Dragon and her brother are safe," Godwin informed.

Black Rose narrowed her eyes and snarled. After a moment, she changed into her human form. Standing before Godwin was a beautiful woman. She had charry-red-hair that was shaped like a bell flower that had been clipped at the end of the peddles. Her long side hairs framed her face nicely. She had fair soft skin, brown-walnut shaped eyes that held anger. Her dress she had on was black. It covered half of her breasts to her knee's. The coat that she had on was red and white, with ruffles.

Godwin nodded his head in approval. "I'm here to help you and the twins," he explained. "It came to my attention that you and the other dragons need protection from the approaching danger."

"Where are they?" the woman asked in a firm crisp voice. She didn't care what the man said. She just wanted to make sure that the twins were safe.

Godwin nodded his head. "I'll take you to them right now."

Jack marched down the hall way with Mina trailing behind. They both stopped when they saw Godwin and a young woman with cherry-red hair.

Jack snarled at her. "What is she doing here?" the blond asked roughly, knowing full well who the lady was.

Tension hung in the air. Godwin closed his eyes for a moment, knowing how he was going to solve this.

"Now calm down, Jack," Godwin ordered calmly. "I brought Black Rose Dragon here so she can get the help she needs with the twins."

"What?! Those pip squeaks are here?" Jack screeched with irritation. "They're in no shape to fight!"

A growl escaped from the brown-eyed woman's throat. "Don't insult my intelligence, Jack!"

"Now why would I do that Aki?" the blond said, his voice dripping with venom.

"Both of you calm down," Godwin said firmly, becoming a little irritated. "I'll give you both more detail once Ancient Fairy Dragon is well enough to get out of bed and Stardust Dragon is found."

Jack's eyes widened just a fraction. "What's wrong with her?" And don't even think about laying a hand on Yusei! I'm the only one who can touch him.

Yusei? The charry-red-haired girl thought. That's when she noticed that Jack's mate wasn't even present. "That's the one thing I don't know," Aki informed. "She's been sick with a high fever and coughing a lot."

Mina watched with fascination. She suddenly became interested. Godwin said that he was looking for dragons. Could Jack and this Aki lady be them? I'll have to ask Mr. Atlus if he.
