SAVE ME

Prior to the festival, When the girls got back to their realm, Alexa hit her head softly against a wall.

“Hey, stop it. You are going to break your head” Karina panicked

“Let it break ” Alexa said weakly ” I can’t believe I thwacked the demon lord with a bat” She turned around to face Karina and Josty”But why didn’t anyone recognize him?”

Josty sighed “He doesn’t come out often and no one is permitted to see his face too. This information we know now of how the demon lord looks like could cause us our lives”

Karina sobbed softly”Why did Warren have to tell us ? I don’t want to die”

Alexa faced Karina “Get a grip! You won’t die if you pretend you don’t know him. Now gather around, I have a plan on how to rescue Celine on the day of the festival ”

“YOU DID WHAT!!!???”Jerrie shouted bringing out fire from his mouth.

Jerrie was the dragon lord and Warren’s closest friend but that doesn’t mean he takes nonsense.

“I invited the demon lord to our festival” Warren repeated.

“And why ? Did that girl make you do it? What was her name again, Alexa?” Jerrie asked angrily.

Warren balled his fist. He hated whenever Alexa’s name was called like that “Her friend is captured in the demon realm and -”

Jerrie waved his hand “I don’t want to hear it anymore. Just run to the witches realm and borrow a portion to turn back time.  I will never allow the demon lord to come to the festival. ”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Warren sighed “You of all people should know that no matter the spell used, it doesn’t work on the demon lord. He’s that powerful.”he breathed out “I know you are -”

“Fine, we’ll invite the demon lord. But if anything goes wrong , it’s all on you. And don’t underestimate the demon lord, after the festival when he finds out that your so called “friend” has escaped, it won’t take him long enough to realize this invitation was just a diversion” Jerrie moved closer to Warren “And when he does, we are all dead but should I tell you something you would like to hear because we are friends?”he placed his hand on his shoulder and squeezed it “You will be dying first ”

Jerrie brought Warren down to his knees “You seem to be eager to want to waste your life for that angel” Jerrie smirked “Why? Do you think she will look at you then? ” He gritted his teeth”You idiot, she already knows you like her but isn’t doing anything about it.  Take a hint ”

Warren groaned “I-It’s not about that.  I just want to help save her friend. After all , Celine is my friend too ”

Anglassia , Jerrie sister walked in “Warren, there’s someone looking for you outside ”

Jerrie turned to face Anglassia” Don’t you know how to knock before entering my chamber?”

Anglassia smirked “Of course I do. I just chose not to ”

Jerrie removed his hands from Warren’s shoulder”Get out”

Warren stood up, bowed his head and left.

When they were at a far distance from Jerrie chamber, Anglassia held Warren’s hand “Stop. I lied . There’s no one looking for you ”

Warren sighed “Thank you.”

Anglassia looked at Warren’s shoulder where Jerrie had squeezed”You are bleeding”

Warren held his shoulder” It’s nothing. I really upset Jerrie”

Anglassia felt a pang of jealousy as she asked “Is it because of her , again ?”

Warren looked at her with anger “I really appreciate what you did for me but don’t cross the line ”

He walked away holding his shoulder and Anglassia scoffed as she muttered “You are the one crossing the line , you idiot ”

The following morning as Warren stepped out of the dragon realm gate , he saw Alexa leaning by the wall.

Surprised he asked”What are you doing here ?”

Alexa stepped forward to him ” Hey, are you avoiding me huh ?”

“What do you mean ?”

“I came to see you last night, didn’t Anglassia tell you ?”

Warren balled his fist . So she lied . He smiled at her “Actually-”

“Hey, what happened!!!” Alexa shouted as she saw his shoulder bandaged “Who did this? Tell me , I’ll beat them up to a pulp”

Warren laughed “Hey, you can’t even break a glass ”

Alexa smiled”Don’t talk too fast. You should have seen me yesterday with my bat, Faren was scared ”

Warren laughed “Yes, Yes ”

Alexa’s gaze turned serious”Are you okay? It must have hurt”

Warren stared at her and remembered what Jerrie said yesterday; “You idiot, she already knows you like her but isn’t doing anything. Take a hint ”

He shook it off his head “Yes, I’m okay. What brought you here ?”

Alexa faked a pain “I’m hurt. How could you ask me that ? I came to see you just like the old days”

Warren smiled as he released his fist. He was suddenly feeling better. “Really?”

“Of course. Hey, is your shoulder well enough to fly ?”

“You betcha “Warren transformed to his dragon self and Alexa brought out her wings and they took off .

In this moment, it was just them.

Two creatures  feeling nothing but exhilaration as they ran against the wind.

Anglassia , who had come outside of the dragon realm gate looking for Warren saw them up in the sky  and balled her fist in anger before walking back inside.

Why was she worried about that nut job when it’s only Alexa he would see?

They came down after hours and transformed back to their normal self.

“Don’t you feel better now?” Alexa asked .

Warren smiled “Yes . Tomorrow is the festival. Have you guys decided how to get Celine out?”

Alexa smiled” so-so”

Warren held her hand” Hey, don’t do anything ‘over’ dangerous and don’t caught. Can you promise me that much ?”

Alexa put her hand over his “Don’t worry, I won’t . I promise you to be safe. I’m going back now ”

“Yes, take care ”

“You too”

Warren watched as Alexa walked away. This wasn’t going to be the last time he saw her, but why was he feeling like it? .

He sighed as he turned around and walked inside.
