Chapter three,
After all of that had happened I spent quite a bit of time with Rhaenyra and daemon who I quickly became close with as he was always nice though a bit sarcastic now that I look back at it. My favorite thing that made me want to stay near him was caraxes and the fact that everyone was afraid of him or revered him even though he was carrying around a toddler, but mostly caraxes. I could lay on him all day and I would if I could get away with it. He was so warm and he always made sure no one could mess with me if I was with him alone.
I honestly didn't want to leave I wanted to stay and be with Rhaenyra and daemon but I could tell as the days went by that I was not wanted here by many of the others though I did get to meet Rhaenyra's mother and she seemed like a sweet lady though very weak. She was going to have a baby and it was making her very weak she told me.
She seemed so nice and I wanted to help her the way rhae and daemon have helped me so as I gave her a hug goodbye I found that little ball of warmth that takes me here and pushed it to help her. The days following that she seemed to slowly get better so I had hoped she'd do better over time though as soon as daemon noticed me sat me down and asked what I had done.
" I wanted to help you all helped me when I needed it and if I could make her better I wanted to she was nice but she seemed so tired. Did I do wrong?" I muttered at the end looking down.
" No sweet one you didn't it was a very nice thing you did for her and I'm proud that you thought to help" he told me while patting my head. It was at this moment that I realized to my self that I wished he had been my father instead of the one I had.
And so over the next few days I was with them I began to call him papa in my head til the day I ended up wailing it to his face. I had been feeling off most of the day like something was going to happen but I didn't stop doing as I normally did which was follow after papa like a lost little duck which by his smirk on his face he didn't mind. But as the day progressed I began to feel even more worried as I felt the pulling sensation in my stomach. It took me a while to realize what it meant I grabbed papa's shirt sleeve and tugged.
" I don't wanna leave I wanna stay" I said with a quiver of my lip I really didn't want to leave. My comment to him made his lean down on one knee and take my shoulders in his hands.
" No one said you had to leave little dragon. I certainly didn't and won't let anyone else make you." As he was saying this I could feel the tingling in my fingers and looked down they were see through I held my hand up sobbing out I don't wanna go back. He pulled me to his chest and just as he began to speak again I felt a harsher tug making me cry harder.
" Papa don't let them take me-" I didn't even get to finish as I was already gone. The feeling of his arms fading rapidly as I looked around the dursley household. No one was there. There was yellow tape around where I had landed in the floor before I had left. But the aftermath of what happened to them is a story for another day.
