304-Bringing The Dragon Back To Li..

Maura Despair:

After Zane left. I fell asleep and thankfully woke up early the next morning. I ate whatever he had left

for me in the refrigerator and then started the day with nothing but a bored expression on my face.

There was not much to do here. It was a small house built right on the mountain with no population

around, and there was also a raging volcano that many believed would erupt a year ago. It didn't, but

now here I was, living in the same place. I was extremely exhausted by the recent changes in my life.

My life was very stable in the sense that no changes would occur for months, and now, just in a matter

of a few months, a lot has changed.

“Ah!" I sighed as I put my phone down, got up from the couch, and started looking around to do

something. While I kept holding the pendant around my neck, I stared outside the window and realized

how scary it would get when night arrived.

“I am going to be living here all by myself," I murmured. This place will be like a ghost town when

darkness hits the world. I was honestly afraid of staying here another night, but Zane told me this is

where he wants me to be because this is the safest place. So I believed him, but now I was bored and

also afraid.

"Maybe if I knew my surrounding better—," I sighed and steadily opened the door. The morning here

was beautiful but also eerily calmer than it was back in the pack.

I stepped outside and started looking around at the trees and the birds. There were multiple caves on

these mountains that I didn't know too much about since I barely went to school. All thanks to my

father. As I kept walking around, something made me want to peek inside the caves.

I resisted the urge at first, but then I gave in and ran to the first cave.

"What the fuck?" I gasped at the broken chains and clothes-different items that suggested someone

stayed here in chains for a while.

"This is so scary," I held my breath and ran out of that cave to take a fresh breath of air. After roaming

around the other caves and finding a similar situation, even some skeletal remains of dead creatures, I

came across this one cave that made me instantly feel like I was walking into something that was

supposed to be left alone.

As I kept walking deeper and deeper, I noticed that the aura of the cave around me was weirder than

the other caves.

"What is this?" I covered my mouth when watching a green dragon in chains, dead and alone.

"Oh, my!" I placed my hands on my chest and noticed how loud my heart was beating. Whoever this

dragon was, they must have been through so much.

"Poor dragon!" I sighed, reaching for the head, and noticed all the blood over the scales. Somebody

had beaten this dragon to death.

"They hate weredragons!" I remembered my mother and Beatrice. It wasn't a secret that werewolves

didn't like weredragons, but I never thought they would kill one and then tie it in chains.

As much as I loved animals, it was hard to see one dead.

"I am sure you did nothing wrong. Your only fault was to be born a weredragon,' I couldn't believe I was

staring at a dead dragon. I haven't seen that in my whole life. There were so many hidden weredragons

walking among us every day, and we never recognized them.

"You know what—," I gently caressed her head and whispered, "I am going to bring you back to life," I

smiled as I placed my hand on the head of the dragon and closed my eyes.

It didn't take me longer to make that decision because I knew the werewolves would imprison the

weredragons and kill them just for existing.

While thinking of Princess Beatrice and how happy this act of kindness would make her, I opened my

hair and prayed for the dragon.

It didn't matter how long it had been since this dragon died; as long as it was in animal form and the

body parts were intact, I was able to bring them back to life.

A few seconds turned into minutes, and for a moment, I thought I had lost my ability to bring them back

to life until the dragon began moving again.

I had to stop and crawl back because I feared the dragon would wake up feisty. The eyes opened, and

soon the dragon was breathing again.

"There you go, beautiful creature!" I smiled, gently raising my hand and watching the dragon try to get

on its feet, "Easy there!"

I knew it must be hard for the dragon to comprehend what had happened. Soon, the transition back to

its human form began, and the dragon began screeching and squirming. The echoes of its sounds

made me cover my ears and rush towards the entrance of the cave. I didn't intend to leave it there, but

I needed to first get the dragon clothes and anything to eat.

So while the dragon was transforming back to its original form, I went back home and grabbed a white

dress and some food items.

By the time I returned to the cave, the slow whimpers of a girl hit my eardrums. Walking farther, I saw a

beautiful naked girl lying on the ground and sobbing.

"Hey!" I whispered, reaching for her and dropping the dress for her.

"They killed me—he killed me,’ she continued to sob and shake miserably.

"Who? Who did this to you?" I asked her, watching her raise her face and look at me with her sad eyes.

"What is your name?’ I then questioned again, curiously. Maybe if I know her name, I will be able to

comfort her by bonding with her.

"I am Maura Despair! Who are you?" I introduced myself and noticed the shine in her eyes.

"A Despair!" a smile so light appeared on her lips that it even gave me goosebumps, “I am Gwen!

Gwen Moore!"
