Secret World
17. Lisa

I woke up and reality hit me. I was not in the bed with my wolf-king, but in a big white paw. The paw moved so I saw the white dragon. She was beautiful. Some of her scales were in shades of blue. She had the most beautiful blue eyes. She looked completely harmless, until she showed her teeth. I heard a loud thud. I looked at the place it came from. Her king just landed a few meters from her. On his back was Alex's grandfather's brother. He looked tired and worried.

“Baby girl, are you okay?” He jumped on the ground and kneeled in front of me. I just nodded. “Good. What about I'll take you home? They probably rip my head off, but I think you are the only person who could actually help him now.”

“Is he okay?” I knew he was speaking about Alex.

“He is alive, but asleep. Nobody is able to wake him up. I think you could. Call me crazy. I just think there is more between you two.” He helped me up. “By the way, I hope you are okay with flying.”

“Flying…” We were on the back of his dragon. “Shit! I am not okay! I flew this way just once and I don't like it!”

“Oh… Sorry. I would never let anything happen to you. Let's go!”

I had no time to respond. It took a few minutes to get to the castle. When we arrived, nobody even noticed we were there. Honestly, they didn't even know he went for me. He explained to me, the time here and in the other world goes differently. It made sense. Somehow. I ran to the bed and I saw my wolf-king. There was just Clarie with Sebastian. When she saw me, she looked relieved. She left the room for me to be alone with him. The next room went silent, when they saw her. Sonya's head peaked into the room. She scanned the room to stop her eyes on me. She smiled and nodded, before she closed the door and yelled “EVERYBODY OUT!” The noise was gone in less than ten minutes.

“We can help you to get in his head and bring him back.” It scared me. I saw a couple. Elves. Both had brown hair, green eyes and clothing in colors of the forest. “I am his auntie. His mother is my sister.” She explained. They both looked very kind. Actually they were to me. I can tell they could look like murders in a split second. Like Michael explained.

“I… God help me! Okay. I will wake him up just to kick his ass, just to be clear!” They giggled and came to me.

“Lay next to him, hold his hand, relax and close your eyes,” she said.

“You will hear our voices, we can read minds too. If you see any kind of trouble, we get you out,” he spoke for the first time and his voice was so… Rhythmic and warm. I did as I was told.

“What now?” I asked.

“Now sleep. You will appear in other places. We don't know where. You have to replace him. You have to make him wake up. Or turner in his wolf. That would help too. Under no circumstances he can use his magic! That would kill him.”

“Okay. So sleep, replace a way, replace him, bring his ass back and make him wake up, or turn without any magic. Got it! Easy peasy.”

“Good luck, honey!” I fell asleep again.

I was in some dark place with no light. I tried to look around, but I wasn't so lucky. I tried to call the elves. No answer. Something is wrong. Very very wrong. I calmed down and thought. His head, his rules, his power of mind. Okay, let's do this.

“Hey, wolf-king! If you dont wake up I swear to you, I will sleep with Ben and marry him!” I waited. Nothing. “Fuck you! You made me fall in love with you and now you left! You piece of shit!” Now I feel lighter.

“What did you just call me? And what the fuck was that part about Ben?” I yelped and jumped a little. I didn't answer him, because I just jumped in his arms. “This is not an answer!”

“I needed to replace you! That was the Ben-part. And the second was how I felt.” I whispered in his ear. “You have to wake up, or turn into your wolf. You are not allowed to use your magic, it would kill you. I should have told you this. Your auntie and her… Husband? Nevermind. The forest elves told me so. I should be able to speak with them, but I am not.”

“Slow down, kitty! So… I have to wake up without any magic. And yes, husband. Weird, they should be able to communicate with you.” My eyes went wide. I saw the black dragon.

“I know your voice, girl!” Dragons speak, I should have found this one too, but… Oh no! No way in hell!

“You two are bound! That's why your grandfather sent me through the portal.”

“He did what?!”

I started to explain to him. I told him everything I could remember. Sometimes I had to sound crazy. I skipped from one part to another. When I finished, I was glad, I couldn't see his face. The dragon just kept smiling, before he announced: “Time to wake up!” Poof and we woke up. The auntie hugged me.

“I was so scared, we fucked up. Are you okay?”

“She is in big trouble, but otherwise okay.” She looked at Alex and had the same reaction. “Ah, auch!”

“Sorry…”

I finally had time to look at him, he was beaten and the wound didn't heal. They told me it was some kind of poison. New one and deadly. Alex gave them instructions. The black dragon looked through the window. He was pitch black and had the most beautiful brown-green eyes I ever saw!

“We need to talk. We have to make a move, before the human bug will fuck up the ballance.” We looked at each other and went outside.
