Life of a Dragon Slave 1
I woke up the next morning to find myself completely well rested. At first I thought that I was still in my usual bed on the outside but then I felt warmth for the first time. I realized that I was back in the room, my room. I opened my eyes and sat up to see that, yes, I was still in the room that the human master have gave me.
I didn't no whether to slap myself and tell myself that I am dreaming or I hoped that this is real life and that I am actually in a bed, with blankets and I am safe. I pinched my cheek and even though I had hard scales, I knew that this was not a dream. I once again had the sudden urge to cry again. I couldn't believe that I was actually in a home, a real home were I don't have to worry about my family being woken up at four in the morning to begin choirs. But then my head kept telling me that this was all a trick and that he will enslave us hard and makes us do work.
I was having a trouble listening to my head and my heart. I knew we were safe but why do I feel like we aren't. That human that we now call master, has given my family a home. He gave my brothers and sisters a room were they can sleep, play and watch the hologram. He gave me a room with my own giant mirror and a wardrobe. He gave my parents their own room with their own large bed. A soundproof hallway were they can have some privacy and their own Jacuzzi. I thought about everything all morning.
I didn't know what time it was but I when I did wake up, I felt so rested. I stood up and walked over to my large mirror. I admired myself in many ways. Smooth body, large breasts, sharp horns on my head and not to thick legs. Green scales that covered all my body and I had only the small pieces of clothes which were tethered bra and a small covering for my legs. I sighed and walked out of my room.
I went by my brothers and sisters rooms. They were all still sleeping. I went to my parents and saw that they are still sleeping to. I decided to go the hallway and opened the doors to enter the upstairs living room.
I was beyond words as I stared at the living room. Not even my old master had something as this good in quality. I continued my gaze in till I was interpreted by the human. "Good morning Verdera." I turned around and looked at him.
I knew that I should bow to him and I did. He smiled and shook his head. "You don't need to do that." he said calmly.
I stood up and gave him a confused look. He smiled again and turned around before walking towards his kitchen. "Would you like breakfast or would you want to wait for your family?" he asked me.
I was surprised by this. He was asking what would I like for breakfast instead of doing it for me and giving me disgusting food. I didn't know what to say. He looked towards me from the kitchen. "Oh I see," he said to me. "You are still trying to get used this place and you still don't understand it all. Don't worry, after a while, you and your family will get used to it. Now, what would you like for breakfast?"
It was late morning when the rest of my family woke up. They came to the living room door and like I did, they bowed when they saw the human. He smiled and told them all what he told me. They were all surprised by this and where more surprised when he and I served my family breakfast.
Again, my mother was close to crying again when we had decent food to eat. John as I know knew his name, felt my mother's emotions. I didn't know what to think when he told her that everything would be well for her. That we would no longer be in slavery. She still had tears but she a smile on her face.
The food was the best I have ever ate! Or should have said best ever in all my life. A pound of steak and eggs for breakfast for me and my family! I was so happy and I couldn't believe that for once, my brother and sisters were full when they finished. Even my parents were satisfied. After breakfast he called us all over to the living room where he sat down and turned to us. From the look on his face, I knew that something was up.
"Okay then here is how thinks are to work." he said to us. I knew it! I fucking knew that he is still going to treat us like the slaves we are. I wanted to scream at him but he brought out a notebook and a pen. "I want you all to think of what you want in your rooms and I will try to buy them for you."
I was again stumped by his sudden request from us. My parents and I were stumped but my brothers and sisters seemed to know what he asked for. All of my brothers spoke with a scared but also shy voice that they all wanted a video game system for them all to play.
John happily wrote it down and then looked back them . "Anything else?" he asked them. They all were confused by this but they all talked amongst themselves before they all asked for some toy cars. John just smiled and wrote it down..
He then went for our sisters and they all replied so fast it was kind of cute. They all wanted some girl dragon dolls and a house for the toys. John chuckled at this and nodded, writing it down. Then before he could ask for anything else they wanted, they quickly spoke out with, "princess accessories." He laughed at his and wrote it down. Then he came up to my parents. Both of my parents were stumped. They didn't know what they wanted since all they wanted was to be happy along with their kids. I knew they had nothing in mind so I just spoke for them. "They would like some their own hologram so they can watch some romantic movies in their room."
They looked at me before John wrote it done. "Anything else?" My mother actually spoke this time but with stutters. "If-you don-don't mind, I woul-would like a decent dress."
John smiled. "What kind would you like?"
My mothers smiled lightly. "A night dress, cause I do like going outside and it gets cold."
John smiled. "Of course. And you?" he asked my father.
My father only hugged my mother. "I have everything that I want but since you are asking, I would like a nice watch and some scale lotion so I can give my mate a massage."
John chuckled at this. "A gentlemen are we?"
My father just smiled and held my mother closer.
"And last but not least, what would you like Verdera?"
I honestly didn't know what I wanted. I had everything I wanted. My family, their health, a decent place to sleep and food. I couldn't ask for more. John saw how I was and smiled. "I guess for you I could buy you a dress like your mother's and a great novel right?"
I looked up at him and I didn't know what to say. I wanted to burst in tears and cry on him but I only held it in for a bit. I nodded and just remained quite.
He wrote down everything before he set the notebook down and looked towards my parents. "If you two don't mind, I would ask if you can ask the little ones to go down stairs to their rooms to watch the hologram. I would like a private conversation with you all."
I quickly went back to my normal self. I knew there was something up. My mother nodded nervously and told my brothers and sisters to go downstairs. They all did as told and walked to their living room and closed the door behind them. It was just me, my parents and John. He took in a deep breath and exhaled softly. He spoke lightly and calmly. "Now, I know that I said I will do all this for you and I will. But there is something that I need to talk to you all about. The thing with this whole slavery thing with you, I am not into. I have no need for slaves as I said yesterday why. However, do to the constant surveillance of my house and with the humans that pass by, I would like you all to fake your work."
All three of us were baffled. My father spoke out. "What do you mean ‘Fake our work'?" he asked.
John sighed. "I don't want to put pressure on you. Any of you but since I am sometimes watched, I know that when I bought you, they thought I would have you working on my choirs and all the stuff in my house. Well you won't. I only want you to watch and pretend to do my house work so any human that passes by, think that you all are working. Once they leave, you can just go back to your rooms or you can just come in to my house and stay there in till I get home. I hope this won't be a problem to you?"
Somehow I didn't believe this lying asshole. He just wanted us to do pretend work so he can call off some humans and tell them that we aren't fully doing the work and that way he could sell us off and doesn't have to get the stuff that we wanted. I was about to growl but my mother spoke out quietly. "What about our children?" she asked. "My younger ones are only a few days away from being able to work and I don't want to see them working."
John nodded. "Don't worry they won't and like I said, just pretend to do your jobs and it won't matter. Now as for your wing piercing...." My mother gave a gasp and clasped her hands over her maw.
John sighed and shook his head. "Don't worry I wont do that either. I am going to buy a cream that makes your wing skin almost transparent so it will make it look like you all have holes in your wings. I don't want any of my dragons having hole especially the young ones."
I was quiet. I had no emotions only thoughts. Can I really trust this human to do something like this? No human is this kind to us. No human that has dragons as slaves would be so kind. I knew that this fucker would turn on us any time and when he does, I don't care if they punish me to death, I will kill him.
Later that day he just kept talking to us. To my parents about our previous owner. About our life before, how my parents were twenty when they had me and that now at fifteen I was almost a adult and how later own they decided to have more. Honestly, this is the first time a human had asked us about us instead of ignoring us. I couldn't count how many times a human would ask how we were or how do we survive. It bugged me that this one did and he never once yawned, he never once looked away. He only sat there, looking at us and listening to our parents talking.
He went on and fed us again, although I was still a little full from this morning. He said that children needed meat in their bones and that he would keep feeding us in till our stomachs would burst. Everyone laughed at this except me. I still had that bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
The rest of the day was getting to know us a bit more. My brothers and sisters and even me. I told him very little though my brothers, sisters and parents would tell the rest to him. Traitors. He was happy to know about us now and how he can hope to make any part of our life better. I still hated this though.
At night, he gave my family a large dinner with steak, ham, and pork. I was still full and yet I and my whole family managed to eat the food.
When we were finished, John had to carry one of my brothers, Myan, because he over ate, down to his room. My parents were actually glad that he brought him down. It did give me a giggle when I saw my brother's giant belly filled with food. After that, he said good night and closed our doors. My brothers were in the living room watching the hologram while my sisters were playing in their room. And my parents, well, I didn't know what they were doing. I decided I wanted to go outside for a bit.
I exited out of the shack and stretched a bit and heard footsteps on the grass. I quickly hid behind the shed only to peak out and saw John walked towards the cave that had a giant fence and gate. I watched him as he looked to see if he was followed before he opened the gate and close it behind him.
I was a bit suspicious about that but a little while after, he came out of the gate and I could have sworn that I saw tears on his face. He walked past the shed without seeing me and headed back into his house. I knew that there was something behind that gate and I would find out but I decided that tomorrow would be best.
Next morning I was awoken by John. I opened my eyes to see him looking down at me. "Good morning Verdera." he said quietly.
I groaned and stretched a bit. "What time is it?" I asked.
He sighed. "Well its 6:00 in the morning."
I growled inside of my head. I thought I get to sleep in late! Man with this fucking human! "Why so early?" I asked him softly.
He smiled. "Me and you are going shopping to get your family what they want. But I wanted to do it early so less contact for you to deal with."
Well that's something I do want to avoid. "Alright then." I slowly sat up and both of us quietly left my room. We went up to his place first. He brought out a wallet and he gave me a bag.
"Its breakfast on the go."
I smiled lightly and we both quietly left the house.
We walked into his driveway and stopped by his car. This was the first time I would enter a car without being tied to the trunk of a truck or having to be tied down and wait in till someone picked me up. I got in the car and surprisingly I actually was able to fit in. Though I was not tall almost as tall as John but it was my wings that couldn't fit. Anyway, he started the car which almost sounded quietly. He backed up and drove away.
We had drove for awhile and he talked to me about how the public feels about dragons. I hate my breakfast during the ride and it was pretty good. He said that he will make it seem as that he is my master and he would make remarks but never really mean them. I ignored it and we drove in till he came upon the mall. But it was a maxi mini mall or almost like a swap meet. We exited out of the car and walked in. It was empty and only a hand full of human shops were open.
The first stop we went to was the game shop for my brothers. The human saw me and was a bit displeased by this but John made a bad remark towards me. I didn't take that to heart but didn't say anything only lowered my head down in some pretend shame.
The human smiled and talked to John, They talked about which is the great game system. John made false lies of how it was for his little brothers. When he said that, it almost sound like he did have little brothers. He bought the game system along with games I never heard of and we walked out of there and walked to the toy shop. It was closed in till seven so we walked around a bit and hoped to find a dress for my mother and I.
There was a single woman in a shop along with a female, fire dragonet, who likely was six years, as her assistant in a large shop with beautiful dresses on display. The women looked old, in human terms around fifty years old. She gave John a smile and me one to which was kind of odd. She slowly stood up and smiled to him. "Can I help you young man?" she asked a bit quietly.
He smiled. "Yes I am looking for a night dress for my slav.... My mother and a dress for my wife."
The elder looked at me then back to John and smiled.
"Is the dress for her and her mother?" she asked pointing at me.
John tried to response to that but the old women gave a warm smile. "Don't worry son. I do dresses for dragons as well. I believe that you want to buy a dress for her because she is in need of one and you need to buy one for her mother because she wants to spend her time outside when its cold."
Both John and I were speechless. This women just explained our needs directly. John tried to speak again but the old woman spoke before him. "Yes it seems that way but no, I am not physic." There was a smirk on her face. "Any who, I love dragons as much as you do which is why I keep my handy assistant, Nliyn."
The young dragonet smiled and gave me and John a wave. She was actually happy here. How could she be happy?
The old women motioned for me. "Come hear child and tell me what kind of dress you and your mother would like."
I hesitated but I walked to her and she smiled. "Don't worry child. We will have the dress of your dreams and it will make you so beautiful that even your master will fall in love with you."
Both John and I blushed. How could she say something like that? Nliyn giggled along with the old lady. I turned to him and he waved. "I'll be back. I'm going to get the rest of the stuff." I nodded and he turned and left. I was now left alone with a old human and a dragonet who seem to have a great bond.
In hour later, I finally had tested all the dresses made for dragonesses like me and I found it. A beautiful dark blue dress with diamond like sparkles. I looked at the large mirror they held and my gods. I couldn't believe that I was staring at a beautiful dress and that I'm in it. I smiled as Nliyn gave the final touch, a emerald pendant that had matched my eyes perfectly.
I couldn't believe it and yet I was in it! John came in and when he saw me, he dropped the bags he was carrying and couldn't believe what he saw. I didn't know why but when he did look at me, he blushed and shyly looked away. I did too only getting a giggle from the old lady and the dragonet. The old woman spoke. "You look well child. And as I said before your master would like it as well."
No that was not what she said. She said that he would love me. Did he? Now that I was in a beautiful dress? I ignored the thought when the old women brought my mother's dress as well which was a light green dress and a yellow pendent. She gave me the dress in a bag and smiled. "I hope that you will enjoy that dress for the rest of your life."
I smiled almost in tears. "Thank you."
She smiled and John paid her. The old woman smiled. "Since you love dragons as much as I do and I see you treat them well, I will charge you half price."
Half price! That was almost a two hundred dollars off a five hundred dollar price! And just because she believes that John loves dragons. He smiled and paid her and packed my dress. I was never more happy in my life then today. Before we left, the dragonet came up to me. She told me to lean down and I did. Then she whispered to my ear. What I heard surprised me. When she moved away, she put a finger to her lips as to say keep it quite before she giggled and walked away.
I didn't know what to think about what she just said. I didn't think long as John called me. I carried mine and my mother's dress. He carried the bags which I assumed which was the rest of my families items.
We walked to the car and drove off. Good timing to because more humans began to come. I was happy that I had my dress and a dress for my mother as well. John smiled along the way home which kind of baffled me. Why was he so happy? But then I thought about what the dragonet said to me. What did she mean by that and should I believe her? I would fall in love with someone close and all will be set, to make my life complete and to make my family free. Did she mean that I would fall in love with John?
No! I would never fall in love with a human. Never! It seemed as though the old lady was psychic but she could not predict the future. Or could she?
When we arrived home, John brought in all the bags and set them down on the living room. He sighed happily and slumped on the couch. "Finally we got home." he said.
I slowly set down my dress onto the couch and just stood there looking at nothing in particular. I tried to think and I pinched myself again. No this was no dream. I did have a expensive dress and I did have a pendant for it.
John brought out the stuff and set them on the couch. However, he kept one bag to himself, the rest were the toys for my brothers along with their game system. The toy dolls for my sister along with a big fold up house. A box with a golden watch for my father. Some lotions for my mother. And then he brought a larger bag. It looked like it was full of clothes and it was. He spread them all out and once again, John surprises me. There was two pairs of clothes and about seven of them. There were two pairs of clothes for all my brothers. T-shirts, small shorts, underwear, and a set of pajamas with cars as designs.
The pairs for my sisters were light green t-shirts, short blue skirts, some panties and pink pajamas. There were also clothes for my parents. My mother had a nice long skirts, short sleeved shirts, bras, panties, and hat for summer days. As for my father, he had long black and blue pants. A short and long sleeved t-shirts, with boxers and a pair of silver sunglasses.
The last items were I guess for me but I didn't ask for any of this stuff. Its like he wanted to get this stuff for us. He got me a short and long sleeved shirts, a pair of panties, bras, skirts and even a sweater.
Why? Why was he being so difficult? Why was he making me hate him? Why is it that I want to cry and tell him to punish us? I didn't understand him. Why is he giving us things that no dragon should deserve? He is giving my family a home. A place to sleep. A place were they don't have to be beaten to be awaken. When they get to eat decent food instead of food that tastes like shit and makes you want to throw up. Why is it, that I am losing myself to him?
I wanted to cry but he called me up to the stairs. I held back all emotions and did as he said. I walked upstairs and followed him to his third level.
Up here, my gods. He has a lot of rooms that are empty and some filled with only small furniture. We walked by some rooms but one of them looked locked up which was a bit odd but we both came up upon one room filled with large boxes and there was large wrapping paper on the floor. He grabbed some boxes and handed them to me. "We are going to wrap everything and give it to your family as presents."
Presents? I knew what they meant but why would he do that? Its not like its our birthdays or something. He noticed my expression and smiled. "I just want this to be a surprise. Haven't had much of surprises for anyone lately."
Okay so he wanted to surprise my family but out of what point? To show them that wow, they did get their gifts instead of being lied to? I remained silent and started wrapping gifts for my brothers and sisters.
Once all the presents were wrapped, he told me to go and get them to come up to the living room. I did and walked down the stairs and headed to the downstairs floors. I opened the door and walked down stairs and went to my brothers and sisters rooms. I slowly woke them all up and told them to meet in the upstairs living room. They all groaned in annoyance of having to wake up but they managed to get up stairs without hitting nothing, though falling was the more easier task.
I went to my parents room and wanted to wake them but they were already woken. They were on the bed talking to each other before they heard me coming. "Oh good morning love." said my mother.
"Good morning mother, father." I stared at them before speaking softly. "What's wrong?"
My father held my . "We don't know yet." he said. "We don't know whether our family is right here."
"What do you mean father?" I asked him, sitting by their side.
My mother sighed and looked at me with sadden eyes. "At first we knew that we weren't going to trust our new master but the last few days, he just treats us as if were family."
I was actually amazed that my parents were having my exact thoughts. "But what is wrong with that?" I had to ask even though I knew they knew that John was up to something.
My mother sighed again. "Well I don't think that is wrong with what he is doing but it seems off. And the other reason for this is because I may have another child again."
The knowledge of having another sibling didn't surprise me to much since I did catch on to my mother's weight but when she mentions her fear of it with John, it did raise thoughts. I had to speak. "So what do you suggest we do?"
My father spoke in this time. "Well we want to give it a few days in till we can fine something but in the mean time we will have to keep it between us."
I nodded and sighed. "Alright. Now John wants us to go to the living room. He has something planned for us." I tried to sound like I didn't know what was going to happen but I knew how this will end.
Once everyone was upstairs, John brought down all the presents. Everyone was confused by this but when John had set the presents down in front of my family, they all gave him confused looks. "Open them." he said.
Everyone hesitated but they opened their gifts and all gasped at what they have received. All my brothers and sisters cheered as they had received their gifts. My parents were just speechless, especially my mother when she slowly pulled out her dress. It was almost magical for her to receive something that she as been wanting for so long. My father was speechless too when he got his watch.
John smiled at us before he slowly pulled another box out of nowhere and handed it to me. I was baffled by this. I had already gotten my dress. What more can I get? Then I thought about the novel. Oh well at least I get something to do in my spare time. But the box was almost twice as big as any book. It was almost as big as a my brother's small game system. I glanced at him once before I slowly reached for the box and found that it was a bit heavy, though not really since I can lift heavier.
I slowly opened the box and when I opened it, I was again lose with emotions. Inside there were several novels, a make-up kit, a jewelry box, a mini computer pad and a music caster. But.... Why?
He smiled. "Well I knew that many teenagers have that sudden urge to have some much so I got you this stuff. The novels were the best I can find and there is four of them that are in a series, which is romance, drama adventure and love. The make-up kit is well I guess for you to decide if you want to go out and looking nice I also have others for your mother and sisters. The mini-computer pad is well computer use."
I didn't know what to say except. "How do I use this and the music player?"
John smiled. "I will teach you that. Now as for your jewelry box, you can put some of yours or your mother's in there as well."
I picked it up and looked inside to see a emerald necklace. There were others as well for my sisters and mother. I slowly picked up the jewels and handed them to my mother and sisters. All of them slowly reached for it and took them. I looked towards John who was smiling. "Though they cost me a lot of money, it was worth every cent to have you all were them. Now, that is all the presents now we move on to breakfast, I'm cooking."
My mother, father and I were almost speechless. My brothers and sisters were busy enjoying their toys and their mines' are to young to understand what was going on but my parents and I did. We were just given the most expensive of gifts that only humans should receive. I already knew my mother would try to keep herself from losing tears.
I was right behind her but I had to remain strong. I had to rethink this. No! He has to be up to something. He has to be playing a cruel joke on us. He... he wants us to love him... and No! he is lying I know it! Tears were falling down my cheek. I couldn't cry, I couldn't. I want to hurt him! He is making me suffer. He.... He isn't like the other humans... he only bought us so he can...can.... Oh gods who am I kidding. He does care about us. He has bought so much for us and I can't even count how much he has just spent on my family in a single day.
I didn't know how I or my family would thank him but I knew that we should in one way or another.
Breakfast was served and again it was the best. This time it was a breakfast burger. Sausage with eggs, bacon and strips of meat. It was not as big as yesterdays but it was still satisfying.
After that, he helped my brothers set up their game system in the living room downstairs. He also set up my parents' hologram and set up a romance channel for them only so my siblings can't watch. He helped build my sisters' toy house which surprised me that he knew so much of it. It seemed as he had down it before.
Then he went to me. I first went to my computer pad. It almost bigger then my palm and it was rectangular and had a screen on top and a small keyboard but I could still use it. He first taught me how to turn it on. Then he set up the computer so I can put in my own screensaver, whatever that was. Next was the internet which let me access the "World Wide Web" which was quite odd as it sounds. Next was going back to the main menu were there was a small program so I could type in things. He told me personally that it is mostly used for diaries, so I could write about my feeling, thoughts, or my day. Personally what I wanted to write down, I could on here and put a password so no one can read but me. Last he set up a program for me so I could learn how to type.
My music cast was next. He taught me how to go on to the computer and download music from a certain website and I could look music. I told that I never heard music before. He nodded and told me that he would put on a radio and I would be able to listen to random types of songs. I asked why I could I just listen to all the songs on the web.
He laughed at this and shook his head. "There are over thirty billion songs on the web and I think by the time you have heard them all it would take you about a hundred years to hear them all. Not to mention that there are songs made everyday so it would be impossible to listen to them."
I was a bit caught off guard with the thirty billion songs but he did tell me that that I could use the radio to change a station and listen to a few and try to listen and find songs I want.
If I did find one, I could pause the radio and press a button which tells me the name of the song and I could download it right away. To much to think for but I will take time to adjust.
Late evening came and my brother were playing with several of their video games and already were screaming when they all were playing against each other. My sisters were in their room with the doors closed and playing with their toys. And my parents, well, once again, I can't tell if the silence in their rooms was either the cause of soft quite moaning or they were watching a movie which was done and they are asleep.
I honestly never found my parents mating disturbing or at all disproving. Its nature for dragons to mate with each other. With other mates or with some... relatives. Thank the gods that no human has found out that dragon kind mate with relatives. Even though I don't enjoy it, I must face it from time to time. Like when I go into heat, my mother would help me out with it or when my sisters get old enough that they will eventually go in heat and I have to please them for a bit. It is all part of life but it will always be of little of nu sense.
When I went into my room, the first thing I did was turn on the radio and searched for a station to listen. I found a couple already but they either had "Hard Rock" as I hear they call it. The other one was "heavy metal". I didn't like none of them but did come up on two. One had a softer kind of music which had some comfort and another one was... slow and almost good. It was playing love songs and some wordless songs. One song playing was kind of easy listening. "You'll be in my heart." I listened to the words and I loved it.
After this song finished, another one began and the radio showed, "Kiss by a rose on the grave". I honestly loved it from every word and even though I didn't understood so much of the words. I just listened to the smooth sound of the music. Well I knew what my first two songs are now.
After that, I didn't listen to any other songs and I decided to go outside. In the living room, my brothers were already done playing with their video games and went into their rooms. My sisters were still in their's and as well as my parents in their's.
As I exited out of the shed, I once again saw John come out of the gate. I hid behind the shed and saw him going inside of his house. I decided it was time for me to find out what's behind the gate. I checked again to see if he was inside and quickly walked to the gate. I pushed the gate open and it made a small creaking sound. I looked inside and I was surprised on what I saw.
There was two river that surrounded a small island where a tombstone was. I carefully stepped over the river and kneeled down. I saw a picture at the bottom of the tombstone that showed a picture of John and... a female dragonet. My type. She was wearing a Christmas hat, I believed is what its called and she wore a Christmas sock on her foot. Both John and her were pretty happy. I looked up at the tombstone and I was very surprised at what it said.
"Here lies Liynda, the greatest friend and the best daughter I had. She will rest in peace and be from slavery. January 16, 2070 to January 14, 2075." My gods, she died two days before her birthday but how? And why? And why would John call her his daughter?
I slowly stood up and was about to turn around when John was looking at me. I was frightened there and I didn't know what to do. "John,.... I...I'm so..... Sorry. I didn't mean to enter here."
John only sighed. "Its alright Verdera. You were bound to find out anyway."
I was less frightened but know I was scared to ask him about her. He seemed to read my mind and sighed again. "If you want to find out about her, you can come inside of my house and I will tell you.
Inside, I sat on the leaving room couch wile he went to go and retrieve a photo. He came back and handed me a photo which was incased in a frame. I looked at it and there again I saw a picture of Liynda and John, this time, they are together during New Years Eve. John was with Liynda holding fire works.
John finally spoke with some sadness in his voice. "I had got Liynda when she was just a couple of months old. She was.... Scared as all dragons that are afraid of being bought are. Her parents stayed with there master but she was sold.
I saw her being sold by her master by a mall. I was passing by and I saw the face on her. She was sad and only a few months old, she was just a hatchling. I knew that she was taken away from her parents and I knew that she was beaten, seeing her with bruises. I decided to buy her and hoped to put her in a better home. At first there were other buyers but I quickly beat them all in price. I also asked for her parents but he wanted to keep them because they were so handy. I tried to over him more because I knew how much Liynda needed her parents but he refused.
Liynda cried out her heart when I couldn't do anything about her parents. I knew it was hard but I hoped that I can make her feel safe at my house.
A few days when I brought her in, she was a bit difficult. She would often try to hide from me when I tried to feed her. It took me awhile before I could finally get her to eat, before she would starve herself. At first she thought it was some discussing stuff that she was used to eating but after she tried she loved.
When she was done, she was scared to ask for some more. I did so with her without fully completing her sentence. She was surprised by this but she still ate.
When I went to take her to her room, she was sadden that she would have to sleep outside but I showed her to her room upstairs."
"Is it the room that has the locks on?" I asked.
"Yes." he said. "I keep it locked so no one can enter her room. Anyway, when I showed her to her room, she was surprised that I would give her a room. I was across the hall from her so she could come to me whenever she wanted.
One night, I could say that we kind of bonded. There was a thunder storm and she was scared. She walked into my room and asked if she could stay with me. I was first surprised by this but I let her sleep on my bed while I slept on the floor. For some reason, I knew that she was scared since she didn't have her parents.
Well as I fell asleep, she kept struggling around in bed or had a nightmare and some mysterious force, made her fall and she landed by my side.
Next morning, I woke up to find her close to me on the floor. At first I thought that she fell off but then she was actually holding on to me. From then on, she and I were like family.
A few years past and she and I, well Liynda and I became like family. I would spend my time with her and she was starting treat me like a father, which is why I call her my daughter."
I, in all of my fifteen years of being on this miserable planet, I have heard the first sad story of my life. What makes it so much sadder is that John is losing a few tears.
He continued on his story. "Well I first that thought that, my and Lynda's life couldn't be any better. But as all could things, they must end. One day, some of my collogues from work came to my house. I was inside working on a few work plans while Liynda was outside playing. My collogues or should I now say enemies, thought it would be funny to beat Liynda for having fun and not working.
It wasn't till I heard her screams that I came outside to find her beaten down and my collogues laughing and thought I would laugh at this too. But all I did was fight them off and rushed to take Liynda to the hospital. I sued my collogues and managed to put those assholes in jail for harming a slave without permission from the master and for doing it with out remorse.
The people in the hospital tried there best even though they wondered why I was trying to save her. They did there best but she was hurt physically with internal bleeding and she was mentally hurt from her time from her other master when he punished her. I, have never hurt her and her sudden attack caused her memories to begin again.
The hospital tried there best to revive her but were unsuccessful. I even took her to the place where they created the dragons and even they couldn't help her."
He head out more tears from his eyes before he continued. "After two months of her being in the bed, I had to feed her, bather and even tried to nurture her back to health, but nothing seemed to work. Two days before her birthday, I came to her room to find her dead. She was still and she wasn't breathing. I didn't know what had happen but I knew that I had just lost someone that I loved a family member. From that day on, I promised her that I would do my best that I would make sure that I would find a way to free dragons would be set free."
I didn't speak but I was a bit responsive to his story. Now I truly understood why John was so caring to us. He lost the only thing that truly meant anything to him, a dragon especially.
He didn't say anything else but "Good night Verdera." He walked up the stairs. I heard the sound of a door being unlocked, which I immediately knew that it was Liynda's room before he closed and locked the door.
I just tried to keep myself from crying. I have completely miss judged this human. I knew that I would somehow regret everything from what I have been thinking of him. He cares for us like if we were Liynda's family. He truly cares.
I didn't know when or how but I did fall asleep that night and now, I released something, I loved John.
