Life of a dragon Slave 2
Our hearts, it is what tells us from what we know, what is right and what is wrong. It tells us who we love and how they love us back. It is our heart that tells us when we should care and not harm. To create, not to destroy. To love, not to hate. It is our hearts that tells us who we are and what makes us all different from one another.
I awoke next morning to find my self on the living room couch. I was still sleepy but I managed to open my eyes and saw myself on laying on the couch. I shifted and found a large blanket on top of me.
I didn't remember getting a blanket from my room. Oh but I do remember what John had told me. It still hurt my heart to know that one human had lost a child, especially a dragon one. And what made it worst is that I was actually falling in love with John. I think it was a bit early for me to fall in love, though it was so odd that I would fall in love with him so early and only because of what he said and done for my family. Not to mention that old human with her dragonet companion told me I would fall in love with him.
I slowly sat up and covered myself with the blanket. I still had my old, ruined bra and ruined undergarments. I slowly stood up and walked over the living room door that lead to my living room. I opened them and walked down to my living room. I passed my brother's and sister's rooms, hearing them sound asleep. I walked into my room and closed the door.
I discarded by old clothing, now bare naked in my own room. I walked to my wardrobe and picked out my clothes. A new pair of white panties, a white bra. Wearing on top, a short green skirt and light green t-shirt that exposed my lower belly.
Once I put on my clothes, I walked out of my room and stopped by my parents room. I slowly put my head against their door and heard voices. I guessed that they were awake, so I knocked. "Come in." said my father's voice.
I opened the door to see both my parents with light clothing. My father had his hands around my mother. I sat by them. "What were you talking about just now?"
My mother sighed softly and rubbed her belly. "I think my next child
might come sooner then expected."
"And does this concern us all? I mean, are we scared for something.?" I asked, a bit concerned.
My mother shook her head. "At first I thought that we should but now that John has shown his care for us...." she paused before rubbing her belly again. A small giggle came from her. "Well I'm afraid of asking John for a room for me to raise our next child."
I thought for a moment. He does have a lot of rooms and if I still trust my heart, he would be kind to lend my mother one room. "I'm sure that John would lend you a room considering he has extras. I just hope he won't mind."
My mother and father nodded with agreement.
A little while later, I came up from the living room of John's and saw him already making breakfast at the kitchen. I didn't know if I should try to ask him if he was alright, considering the break down he had last night. I decided to at least greet him, maybe find out how he's feeling. "Good morning John."
He looked up at me and smiled. "Good morning Verdera. Would you care for some breakfast omelets?"
His voice seemed cheerful but I could still pick up sadness in him. Either way, I still smiled. "Sure, but what is a breakfast omelet?" Honestly, being fed nothing but shitty food all my life, I have never had tasted anything good.
John chuckled. "Well if you like eggs, vegetables, bacon, and onions, then I'm pretty sure you would love to eat it all combined."
Well, he is still cheerful about it but just hope that he is fine from yesterday's episode. I walked to the kitchen and walked to John. He was focusing on the breakfast but he looked up at me. He had a questioning look on him. "Would... you like something else, Verdera? Cause its no trouble to make you something else."
I shook my head but lowered my head so I avoided his eyes. "John... are you feeling alright, after what you told me last light. Are you fine?"
I could feel John's eyes focusing on me but I herd him sigh softly before I felt a hand on my chin and I was lifted to see John's eyes. "I'm fine Verdera." he said to me softly. "I am just a bit... sorry for having to break down in front of you last night."
I nodded to him. "I can understand how you feel John. Losing someone close to you is hard, especially if you love them so much, that you can't bare to lose them."
He nodded and turned backed towards his task. "I never thought that after I lost her, that I would never be the same again. I had spent so much time trying to raise her, trying to care for her, and loving her. I should have been there for her. I should have protected her and never let her out of my sight. But I guess that was all for nothing now."
"How could you say that?" I asked almost angrily.
He looked towards me. "What?"
I moved closer to him, a bit annoyed. "How could you say that? You didn't raise her for nothing. You raised her because you loved her. You raised her because you felt that after she had been sold and taken from her parents, you wanted to raise her. You knew that you had to raise her.
What those son-of-a-bitches did to her, no, that doesn't mean that you raised her for nothing. You did what any loving parent would do. The humans who toke her life away from you, well, I can only hope that they are suffering for their crime. But you did a great job at being a parent. Even if she was a dragon and you were a human, you still treated her like a daughter and that is all what matters. Not you failing her but how you did your best to raise a daughter right."
Every word that I had just told him I meant. I didn't hold anything back and I didn't want to. He needed to know what is truly means to care for someone and to love with all his heart. He lost his ways when he thinks his daughter's death was of his doing. No, mistakes happen and not everyone can stop them from happening, only to learn from them and try to find a way to avoid it.
John hadn't spoken at all and the omelets were getting burnt. He didn't answer me but quickly focused on the breakfast. He quickly flipped it over where the bottom was all burnt. He sighed and turned off the stove. I didn't know how bad I have upset him. He looked down at the stove and avoided my eyes.
I decided to leave him alone and I walked away, heading for the living room doors and I walked down, closing the doors behind me.
I walked down the stairs, seeing that everyone was awake. I knew that I had to give John some space and if they were to go upstairs, they might upset him. I quickly walked towards my parents and whispered to them.
"Keep them here for a bit. Me and John had a... little talk and think it would be best if we left him alone for a bit."
My mother and father grew a bit gravid. "What did you tell him?" my mother asked in concern.
I shook my head. "I rather not say. I prefer to tell you when he is fine and when we all have a chance to talk."
My mother and father nodded and turned to my siblings. "Children" said my mother. They all looked up at her. "I want you to take a bath and after, we will have breakfast ready."
"Yes mother." they all said in union. They headed for the bathrooms in their own rooms and my mother went to my sisters and my father after my brothers. Honestly, I hoped that I didn't do anything that might have changed between me and John.
After a half hour later, I decided to go up and see how John was doing. I walked up to the living room only to find it empty. I looked towards the kitchen and didn't see him there either. I listened for a bit and thought maybe he was upstairs but I didn't hear any footsteps or noises. I walked towards the kitchen table to find that their was food on the table for everyone and there was a note.
I picked it up and read.
"Verdera, I have gone to work and I won't be back in till night. Take care of your family and enjoy your self's around my house. If you need to eat, I have left some leftover meat for all your family in the fridge. All you need to do is warm it up in the microwave. See you tonight.
P.S
I have thought about what you said and you were right, I did raise my daughter right. I just forgotten how and why I did. Thank you very much.
Sincerely John."
I guess I did teach him something then. I sighed happily and waited for my family to come up and eat. My parents were a bit still worried that John wasn't here but I told them what the note said, except what he told me personally.
My family ate the omelets and although they were surprised that everything they liked was in there, it was the best food that has been mixed. After that, everyone just settled down in their rooms while I settled in John's living room and turned on the hologram to watch was on. At first it was just a bunch of advertisement, then it went onto "Reality Shows" and talked about real life people and their problems. It was very boring to here about stupid humans and their stupid problems. But something interesting did come up.
They were doing a show on dragons but what was odd about it is, that the whole show about dragons, was produced and was done by dragons. How is it that? The show began on the four element dragons. Fire, water, wind and earth. Then it explains how they were free from slavery and are on a large island with a volcano and other landscapes, where freed dragon slaves come and no humans are aloud.
IT then hit me that there were dragons that were free and didn't have to deal with the punishment of being a slaves. But how?
The show got more into depth as they began their lives and how they are free. Their masters set them free for various purposes and any human can set their slaves free but it would have to be under law and the dragons must live on the island with the others, just like in the show.
I realized that John could set us free if he wanted to. But if he cares for us so much, why are we still slaves? The question got lost when the show began with a family of fire dragons. The four element dragons are the first ever to be set free along with their families. The island that they're in is a private island where freed slaves come. And since this island is private and no humans are allowed, the dragons live free of worry.
As the show went on, I was starting to get myself a bit more interested. The fire dragons or the "Fire brand" as they are called, have their private house away from the other three elements and near the base of the volcano where the forest it less dense and where large amounts of heat from the volcano keep them in perfect temperatures.
The fire brand have enough room for their whole family, which consisted of five members. The house was build out solid concrete and wood. It had all the appliances of all houses. Water, electricity and the food from vegetables from the island itself or the animals that are raised there, which was brought by their masters.
Next was the wind dragons or "The Soars". They lived on top of a mountain where their own house is a cave. At first I was glad that they would live in a cave, because I know that by nature, we wind dragons would chose caves. But the Soars had their cave customized to make it a bit more civil. They had beds, bathrooms and some electrical appliances but the rest was left out. Food was fruits, any flying animals, and not to much meat. I don't know, for me, so little meat would be fine with me and with a lot of fruits, just as long as it doesn't taste bad.
Then came the water dragons, called "Marines". There house was, well in between water and ground. It was nothing to fancy, I think, but the house was like three or four stories. The bottom house was in a underwater cave in which connected to the sea and the top of the house was on earth. Food was basically fish and other sea creature. And since the bottom of the house in underwater, it is submerged in it. I had to admit, it seemed pretty cool to have a house like that.
Last was the earth dragons called "Crawlers." I know, it didn't make sense to me either but it was alright. Now, just like the Marines, they had their house on top of earth and on bottom but they have a cave where it has its own personal equipment. Under ground is where the Crawlers dig to find any diamonds and other accessories. And since diamonds have a unusual power source, that is their electrical use and along with geothermal energy.
At last the show finished with how the families love it there and how any freed slaves are welcomed to come visit that island. I wished that me and my family could live there. Then my early question came up. Why would John not set us free? Did he want to have us here or didn't he not know?
All these questions were really questioning my trust in John but times, my heart, will come in and tell me that he would do what he think its best for my family. He would know what to do when the time came.
After that, I turned off the hologram and curiously, walked up stairs to the bedrooms. I decided that if John was still upset, hew would forget to lock the doors to his daughter's room. I had to know more about the dragonet he called his daughter. I walked up the stairs, silently making sure my family didn't here me going up there and walked up to the final floor.
There, close to the end of the hallway was the door. It wasn't locked so that was good and as I see more down the hall, John's room, she was pretty close. I slowly reached for the door knob and turned it. The door made no sound once it opened, turning on the light and inside, I was surprise at what I saw.
The room was large and beautiful in a-wind-dragon-way. The walls were painted with skies of light blue and had white fluffy clouds and pictures of wind dragons in the distant. Mountains that touched the clouds and the light which provided the room, had a sun painted around it. At a corner to the right was the Lynda's bed with sky blue sheets and blankets. To the left of the room was her closet where several beautiful dresses were hung. A table where she could draw or write if she wanted to.
To the corner right down was a large chest were toys of all kinds could be found. Plushies, dolls, castles and large stuffed dragons that acted like pillows. I walked in more and saw a stand by her bed where several pictures were. I picked up two frames. The first one showed when Lynda had her first Christmas. She was still young at the time but she was so adorable with a Christmas socking covering her small head. I giggled at the sight and looked at the other one. This one showed her and John wearing a t-shirt that had two hearts and the words; "I love my daddy" and he had "I love my daughter." I grew tears upon this picture. It was a beautiful one. I slowly put it back on the stand and looked around the room with amazement. "I would have loved growing up in this." I said to myself.
I sighed as I walked out of the room and looked back one more time. I turned off the light and was startled to see the ceiling suddenly glow. I looked up to see that it looked like as though it was night and the stars were out and blinking. And occasionally a light would pass by, indicating a shooting star. And it looked beautiful as a sky window was shaped like the moon and it lit softly upon Lynda's bed. I sighed happily knowing the full well and with all my heart that Lynda, was in fact and always will be, John's daughter. I closed the door softly and went down the hall to John's room.
I slowly opened the door to find John's room not to colorful but it was unique. His room was A large king sized bed with black and blue coverings. His wall had two large doors which I believed was his closet. Close to the closet was the bathroom. I walked in and found it very large with large things. It was a light green color with a small shower head to the left corner, a large Jacuzzi in the middle, a toilet next to the shower head and two sinks together that had large mirrors in front of them.
I walked out of the bathroom and looked at the bed. It looked so comfortable but I saw something on the bed. It was a piece of paper, a note to me. Did he knew I would come up here? I read the note:
"Verdera, I know how much your curiosity gets the best of you and I hope that you will find my room and my daughter's well. If your family needs any of the extra rooms in my house, go ahead and use them. I realized that you or one of your sister's might go into your.... Phases through life and I leave that to you.
John."
Well, that is sure weird that he knew that we might use the rooms. Now that I too reline this, my siblings will be entering their fifth month and my sisters will enter there first heat. I sighed and noticed that in another month I will enter heat. Every two months its how it goes and it must be dealt with. Times I wished that I kind of grew up with another family of dragons so I could have someone to talk to and if it was possible, John would have bought us both and I could probably get with one of the males.
"sighs" Oh who am I kidding? I would never find a male, being part slave. And if John were to "buy" new slaves, there is a chance that the family would have young males. Young males to my fifteen years, I wouldn't find a mate in till they made dragons free by law, or John buys a male slave and has him become my mate. Oh, that would never work either because John wouldn't want to buy another slave unless it sadden him nor would I he tell him to fall in love with me and I probably wouldn't mate with him.
I wouldn't want a mate if he is in for it just for the mating. I want a mate who loves me back. And now I start thinking about John. He is a human and yet, I have thoughts of him. I walked out of his room and headed downstairs to the living room.
Downstairs, my family is already finishing lunch. I ate wit out them, happily so I could have thoughts to myself. They went back to their rooms and I stayed up here. Time flew by and I stayed watching the hologram. Still hoping to find any show with dragons. It annoyed me that only one channel. A single channel out of one thousand channels would only have one dragon show and that would only appear in the afternoon and once its done, it would only talk about humans.
Around eight o'clock, I turned off the hologram and went downstairs. I passed by my brother's room and heard them playing and my sisters were watching the hologram in the living room. My parents were watching their's too. I decided that I should take a shower.
I walked into my restroom in my room. I closed my bathroom door and slowly began to undress. I took off my shirt and took off my bra, letting my breast breathe. I then unbutton my shorts and panties, letting them both fall. I was now completely nude in my own bathroom. I walked to my bathtub and turned on the water, letting the bathtub get wet and I turned the knobs to warm. Once they were warm I turned on the shower head and it soon began to rain. I was about to step in when I checked around. I had no towel and I didn't want to wet my floor. I remembered keeping one in my room. I let the shower run so I didn't have to wait.
I opened my door and stepped out. As soon as I looked into my room, I saw John there and he was setting something on my bed. He quickly looked up at me and he started down at my nude body. He and I were both looking at each other before I realized that I was naked and nobody should see me naked. I cried out and quickly closed my door.
John quickly shouted to me. "I'm so sorry Verdera! I'm so sorry. I thought you had already gone into the shower."
I replied with my back against the door. "Its okay John." i said back to him. "I just didn't know you were here."
I heard him sigh heavily before I heard my room door open. "I'm sorry Verdera. I just wanted to drop off something before you got in. Sorry." he said to me one last time before I heard my room door closed. I sighed heavily as I cautiously opened my door and took a peek, seeing that John was gone.
I sighed again and looked at my bed. I quickly opened my door, still nude and I went to my bed. On the bed I saw roses and a letter. I picked the roses up and looked at the letter.
"Verdera, I thank you for giving me my life back. I'm glad to have gotten you and your family when I could. I thank you so much for being so kind and supportive to your family and respectful to me, even though you are legally a slave. You may be one but I consider you my friend and family, just like my daughter.
Sincerely John."
I smiled and inhaled the roses. My gods, they smelled so beautiful and lovely! I inhaled them again and again before I realized that I left the water on. I quickly put the roses by my bed in a small stand before I got my towel and took a shower.
During the shower, I couldn't stop thinking about what John had gave me and soon, my thoughts were filled my him. I sighed happily and I enjoyed the warmth that washed over my body and the heat that radiated in my heart, knowing that I love John.
rate please and reply thank you.
