Cade's 1st Pov

Why do I feel so warm? I wonder as I move myself around. I feel something warm pressed up against me and I move int closer to the amazingly warm and soft thing next to me. I feel odd ridges against my cheek and I furrow my brows and place a hand onto something large, round, soft yet firm, you know like how those weird plastic animals filled with that goo or bead like liquid that you get from those cheapo stores like the Dollar Tree or 99 cents store? Yeah it sorta felt like that, but more fleshy and rougher.

I hear a soft gasp and I freeze. Oh shit I'm groping Lilith! I move my hand away and open my eyes to see that I had been groping her left breast and I feel my cheeks burn with the heat of a roaring fire as the scales turn a pinkish color and part just a little bit before I cover my eyes and move away from her as fast and far away as I can. Great, now she'll think of me as a god damn perv! Fuck! Why me?! Why is it always me that get's thrown into this kind of shite!? As I run out of the cave while covering my eyes, I slip across the muddied ground and flop onto my back and slide into the beyond freezing water of the lake.

I feel something hard meet the back of my head and I grow dazed as I lay in the lake's shallow end, or would it be called a "beach"? I never really learned to tell the difference. The cold water jolts me to an awaken and slightly dazed state, but I can't feel my body as if it were going numb. I move my right arm sluggish up and wince at the prickling feeling you get when you move a numbed part of your body.

In the mist like fog I see a large looming figure creep up to me like a specter in the night. I stare up at the large black mass as a large black hand moves towards me like in those alien movies when they reach for the camera before everything turns to black? Yeah, not my favorite moment right now!

I close my eyes and wait for the hand to crush me in some sort of way, but instead the hand grabs me by my chest and pulls me through the fog and I am pressed up against a rather toned female body. Lilith! Oh shit she must be here to kill me! Gotta think of something. I open my eyes for whatever reason and look up into her crimson orbs that hold a bit of worry in them. Why is she worried about me at all? I touched her for Christ's sake!

"What the Tartarus are you doing out here in the cold as winter lake!?" She yells out as she brings me into the cave again. She pins me to the bed as the fire roars lightly and I look up at her with a scared look. Oh I'm so gonna die! Oh why me?! I only just started to enjoy my new life! She looks down at me with a confused and worried look. "Hey, what's the matter? You look like I'm going to kill you or something!" She says.

"That's because you are for accidentally touching you!" I exclaim rather boldly and then realize that I had just admitted to feeling her up. Yep, totally gonna die now. Bye bye me! You know those bugs that go SPLAT!? That's gonna be me dammit!! She stares at me with confused eyes before realization seems to dawn on her and she moves in close to me slightly while growling lowly.

"So that's why I was exposed! You thought you could touch me and look at me!?" She roars out. I crawl away backward as she stalks towards me with furry in her eyes.

"I didn't mean to! I just woke up and was confused as to where I was! I never meant to touch you! I swear!" I cry out as I remember saying something similar to a bunch of teens holding pipes and calling me a "freakish monster". She glares down at me with her claws in the air.

"You swear?!" She yells out. I nod my head frantically as I shut my eyes tightly and the memory plays in my mind.

"So much pain for one so young. Only emptiness is all that matters. There is no good, there is no light, there is no love. There is only emptiness and pain." I remember the words that were once told to me by some strange man who had pain and anger filled eyes told me before leaving me alone in an alley to "lick my wounds". I breath shakily as my chest grows insanely tight and my birthmark burns like a sun is being pressed up against my chest as my hole body seems to burn next and I feel tears move down my cheeks as a pit opens up in my chest.

God I'm such a screw-up! Why can't anything be normal for me!? I ask myself as pain and sorrow begin to fill this strange pit and I wonder if Lilith was going to free me of this pain. But instead of sharp claws and a roar of fury, a gentle claw cups my cheek gently and I open my eyes gently and stare up at Lilith who looks down upon me with eyes that look sad but also holds a small bit of anger in them. I shy away from her touch and she gives me a confused look and he anger dissipates.

I close my eyes and place a hand up to my chest as the burning feeling returns and I dig my claw like nails into my skin from underneath the open coat and slightly torn shirt underneath. I grit my teeth in pain as my blood trickles down my chest and hand.

"Stop that!" She yells out as she grabs my wrist and pulls my hand away as she places a claw up against my chest. The pain only seems to grow as the heat slowly begins to cool down. I open my eyes and look up at her as her face is close to my own by just a few inches. I look up into her beautiful orbs and the heat returns at full blast, only it doesn't burn, it feels cool and nice like a nice soft breeze after being inside for so long, and for the first time in a long time, I feel a bit of peace creep it's way into the "pit" in my chest. "Are you trying to kill yourself!? What the Tartarus is wrong with you!?" She yells out as she looks into my eyes with fear, for some strange reason.

Why does she care? I touched her and she's worried about me? I remember her talking about getting home and I grow slightly sad. Oh yeah, she wants to go back to her home, and then I'll never see her again. I lower my eyelids and pull my hand away from her.

"Many, many things are wrong with me. Anyways, we should get going, since you have somewhere to be." I say with a slightly sad tone and she gives me a look that piques my interest and turns away.

"Y-Yeah." She stutters out with a disappointed tone. I watch as her wings sag slightly and I feel a pang of worry form in my chest.

"Lilith!" I exclaim. She spins around with a slight gleam in her eyes and her wings firm up as if she were getting out of her funk.

"Y-Yeah? Er, yes?" She asks. Okay, what's up with her? I move closer to her and wrap my arms around her wonderful hips and place my head against her body.

"I'm sorry for touching you, and scaring you. I'm just...unused to this sorta thing." I say nervously and her arms snake around my shoulders and tightly squeeze me up against her body. The heat returns in my chest and I feel a bit of happiness form in my chest as I feel her soft scales rub against my cheek and the coldness of them, which oddly enough feel extremely good! She runs a claw through my hair and the tips lightly graze my scalp gently and I tighten my arms around her waist and her arm tightens around my shoulder.

"We should probably get going." She says before parting from me and I nod with a disappointed feeling in my chest. I guess that same feeling showed on my face or in my eyes as she moves my chin up and I look up into her purple orbs that look dazzling now than they had before. What was this strange heat that would come and go from her touch and why was she starting to cloud my mind. "Don't look so disappointed, we'll hug again at some point." She teases with a wink making my cheeks burn. Oh god is she flirting with me? Best! Morning! EVER!

We walk out of the cave side by side as it stay barren and empty, thanks to my magic, and I summon my sword onto my back and we stride across the open space. I place a hand gently up to my chest and breath out softly.

"What's wrong?" I look up at Lilith who places a claw onto my shoulder and looks down at me with worry in her purple orbs. I smile up lightly at her.

"Nothing's wrong, I'm just wondering why that heat in my chest felt so...cool rather than painful." I explain. She gives me a confused look and I grab her claw and press it lightly up against my chest. "You feel that heat too? How it's so cool and nice?" I ask her. She shakes her head lightly.

"No, but I know what you are talking about. I felt that same sort of heat in my chest as well." She tells me with a light blush tinting her cheeks. Man she looks amazing when she blushes! "When do these heat things occur whenever you get them?" She asks me. Why is she so curious now?

"It happens whenever I feel your cold scales against my skin, or simply you touching me softly or like when we hugged. It feels like I can be happy and the feeling of being at peace flows into me, even if it was for that short period of time." I explain to her. Okay, so maybe it doesn't make all that much sense to me either, but you would be confused to if you've never felt like this before! She looks at me strangely.

"Really? Wait, you like my cold scales?" She asks. I nod my head lightly as I place a hand onto her belly lightly. The coldness of her scales is so soothing, so right.

"I love the cold. It's why I was seen as weird, because during the spring time or summers I'd be bundled up, while in the winter and fall I'd be in little clothing at all." I tell her as I move my hand from her belly and shove them into my pockets. She blushes lightly.

"I've never heard of anyone or any dragon liking the cold before, or at least not for a long, long time." She says to me and places a claw onto her hip as she cocks it lightly before winking at me in a teasing manner. "Maybe I'm just so good, I can charm an alien." She says with mock proudness. I roll my eyes.

"Well you managed that, now what else can you make this "alien" do, huh, mistress Lilith?" I say while doing a mock bow and my best Sebastian impression. She blushes lightly.

"Wow that was weird." She says as if she didn't understand what had just happened. Thinking about it, I start to wonder what made me so playful with her. Was this what flirting was like? Or was this what having a friend that wasn't a male was like? I can't really tell all the much to be honest.

"Yeah, so are you an Ice Dragon or something?" I ask. Maybe she's one of my favorite Dragon types, the beautiful Ice Dragon, or the hot Fire Dragon, or maybe even the mysterious Water Dragon. What? I love Dragons!

"Sorta. I'm half Ice Dragon, and how do you know about types anyways?" She asks me. Oh, right. I haven't explained the whole thing about humans and Dragon's yet, huh? Whoops!

"Well, on earth we sorta imagine Dragon types. Some are fire, other water, and we even have diefic Dragons as lore. If I remember correctly there is a Dragoness that made the world named Tiamat or something like that. I don't really know, seeing as how I never payed much attention in school." I explain to her with a light shrug and "meh" face. She nods her head lightly.

"Why do you know so much about us? Besides from watching those males that come though the forest." She asks. Oh boy, this is going to be awkward.

"I sorta, love dragons, kinda weird, right?" I ask. She nods as we move through the woods at a leisurely pace.

"I'll say. So what were your favorite types?" She asks. What's with all of the questions? Huh, maybe she's trying to get to know me more or something? Whatever.

"Uh, the Ice Dragon is at the top to be honest. Though it's followed closely by the Fire Dragon, Celestial Dragon and Cosmos Dragon." I tell her with a small smile. Her cheeks gain a redish pinkish tint to them.

"You like Ice Dragons?" She asks.

"Well, yeah? Who doesn't like them? I mean your super awesome, so who wouldn't like Ice Dragon's?" I ask. He looks down with a sad look.

"There are very few of us actually around anymore. Not many other types or races like us because we're "Spirits of Winter", as we are named. And no one likes the winter here, so we're hated by many. My mother was an Ice Dragoness along with being a Princess." She says to me. Hold up. Princess? Did that mean her father was a king?! Holy shit universe! You literally sent a PRINCESS to me!? How the fuck can you even do that shit!?

"W-What!? You mean your a Princess!?" I exclaim. Smooth move on trying to keep it "cool". Ugh, I suck at puns. She nods her head with a look that holds shame on it.

"Unfortunately, yes I am." She sighs out while crossing her arms underneath her large bust. I raise a brow. Isn't it every female's dream to be a princess or something like that?

"Why so down? Your a princess for god's sake! You can do and get whatever you want!" I exclaim while throwing my hands up into the air just as we pass beneath a low branch. "Ow that hurt!" I whine out as I wave my hands through the air. She giggles at my antics and I stare at her with wide eyes. Oh dear god her giggle is like heaven!

"What?" She asks with a ride raised. My cheeks burn slightly.

"I thought your giggle was like heaven, er, beautiful, er, I mean...Uh...meesa shuts up now." Yeah I made a Jarjar. The universe love hates me apparently! She blushes lightly before giving me a kind smile that makes that heat ignite in my chest. Oh hello there.

"Thanks. Not many males tend to compliment me like that." She says before pointing at something behind me. "Look! It's the outpost that allows us into the kingdom!" She exclaims with a smile and I smile softly with my back to her as I look at a strange wooden building. Think of a Star Wars walker with the two legs in the form of a tall tree house, and you'll somewhat get what I'm seeing, because I sure as hell am not sure what to make of it!

"Cool, but why aren't there any Dragon's in it? I mean look, it has a hole in the front of it." I point out to her and her eyes seem to widen. She looks left and places a claw over her mouth and I turn left as well to see what "shocks" her. I made a pour decision to even look let alone the fact that I am so not going to mention what we saw. It's just not right!

"Oh my divine, who would have done that?!" She coughs out after losing her lunch. See, told yah I wouldn't tell yah, okay I will! What we saw was two male Dragon's ripped open and having their internal organs strung along the tree's like streamers and their heads placed above their ripped apart body with wide eyes staring neverendingly into space. Yeah, pretty gross right? Try having to smell it let alone having to close their eyes and make "graves" for them, all while Lilith loses her last nights dinner all over the ground as you pat her back gently while she tried to get over it. Come on, lets see you try it! No? Then don't poke fun at me! Haters!

"I have a feeling that Dovaak might have had some allies. Look at these symbols, they look like the same one on Dovaak's sword or the armor pieces for the Saber Wolves, don't ask why I named them that please!" I tell her. She nods her head.

"I see, but, why would Drake's do this?" She asks. I shrug lightly.

"Dunno, maybe when we get into the first town we'll learn more." I say. Man that was a stupid thing to say. She gains wide eyes.

"Oh no! We have to hurry! If they did do this, then everyone in the town just beyond those tree's is most likely in danger!" She cries out in horror. I narrow my eyes and break off into a sprint.

"Then let's get a move on! We need to get there now!" I yell out as we tear off towards the slightly parted trees. You know how in Hellsing when all of those people are lying dead in the streets with few survivors and the Nazi's and those Crusaders running about? It was sorta like that, only with Dragons and Dragonesses. A spear wizzes past me and stabs into the tree next to me and I look down and left to see a green Drake and a yellow Drake rushing at us with weapons drawn.

I look to Lilith with a dark smirk. "What song you want to pump us up? "El Dorado " or "Protectors of the Earth"?" I ask. She growls lowly and holds up one claw, I grin widely. I think I might be knowing what love it! So I grab my sword by the hilt and move it down, but as I do so I enter my Dragon Form and the music she selected plays. Lilith jumps up into the air and axe kicks with her heel against the yellow Drakes shoulder as I shoulder back the green one in the chest.

I notice a Dragon staring at us from where the two Drake's had come from as he holds his young child and injured wife, or what I assume is his wife. Oh fuck no! You do not hurt women or children! I stab with my side and it moves through the Drake's chest. I ignite the sword with black flames as I slash to the side sending out a wave of black and blue flames and lightning that tears through a red Drake that was readying a bow and arrow with my name on it. Not today bitch!

I spin to the side dodging a plume of red hot flames coming from a blue Drake who thought it be smart to do a "sneak attack" on me. Fucking idiots and their idea's of "greatness"! I spin the sword around and stab backwards as I blur behind them and slide the blade to the side so I cut them in half. Serves them right! I see light blue flames rushing towards me and I shoulder roll out of the way and the flames consume a small platoon of Drake's freezing them into ice statues before they break apart into slushy frost across the ground.

I give Lilith a thumbs up and she returns the gesture before spin kicking a Drake's head completely off and I can't help but find her overly sexy. Huh, guess I like the whole "Amazonion" woman thing, huh? Oh well, whatever! I turn to my right and stare up at the biggest male Dragon I had ever seen, then again they were all massive beasts and I was thirty feet away. What? I had to be safe and great eyesight!

"You helping her?" The Dragon asks.

"Uh, yeah?" I ask and he nods his head before pulling his large ass sword from it's giant as hell sheathe and lets out a battle cry. I peak my head out and look behind him to see tones of Dragon's wearing armor, even a few Dragonesses stand there holding weapons. "Um...okay?" I say and he points his sword forward.

"CHARGE!!!" He roars and the soldiers move past us like a river.

"Geose!" Hold up. Geose? That has got to be the weirdest name ever, but than again, Cade certainly has it's weirdness too. I look over to see Lilith running over with a wide happy smile gracing her muzzle and I feel a bit disappointed that I wasn't the one receiving it. Guess the two of them are special to each other. I gain a sad smile as Geose talks about how he and his men were sent out to find her and bring her home along with making sure that the citizens were okay.

"Guess this is goodbye, huh?" She looks at me strangely as I turn to the side and place my sword onto my shoulder.

"What do you mean?" She asks me. I point a thumb to Geose and he raises a ridge as I sigh softly.

"You don't need me anymore. You have this tank right here to get you back home, that's what he's meant for." I say as my eyes close to keep in the tears. Why do I feel like crying? She'll be safe back at her castle and even have her friends back. She'll be happier without me the screw-up. A claw grabs my shoulder and I open my eyes to see Geose looking at me with a smirk. What's so funny?

"You think we're mates, huh?" He asks. Uh, duh?!

"WHAT!?!?!?" Lilith screams out with wide shocked eyes and blanches while making gagging sounds. "Oh my divine-! No fucking way! He's my brother in law!" She exclaims loudly with a disgusted look on her face, before stopping and looks at me with a curious look. "Why did you think that?" She asks. I shrug.

"You two looked to be so happy together, and that smile just seemed to be a loving kind. I mean I'm not really sure, considering what i went through." I tell her and she groans with an eye roll as Geose roars with laughter.

"Ah, young love! How long it has been since I have seen it!" He laughs out making the two of us blush.

"W-What!?" Lilith and I cry out, unfortunately I ended up flashing before my forms three times before returning to my human form. Geose stares at me with wide eyes as if his mind broked. I broked him hard!

"What in the world?" He breathes out as Lilith blushes heavily and clears her throat.

"S-So you say we love each other? H-How can that be?" She asks with a stutter. He looks at her strangely.

"Seriously? Did you two not feel the bond forming?" He asks. I blink. Wait, what "bond"? The fuck is going on?

"What the hell do you mean?" I ask sliding the sword onto my back and he crouches down and is still a giant to me! Dammit I hate being the short one!

"The heat in your chest and the feeling of love? Do you not have it inside you?" He asks. I stop and place a hand to my chest.

"That's what this is? Love?" I ask and Lilith's eyes seem to gain some sort of recognition and face claws herself repeatedly.

"Oh how could I have been so stupid! How do I keep forgetting these things!?" She cries out in anger. Geose nods and laughs loudly as a Dragoness in black armor runs up and stops to look at me. Okay, talk about being a living freak show.

"Sir, the Drake's have retreated and the survivors secured. Are we to take this...thing back with us?" The Dragoness asks as she eyes me strangely and Lilith does something I had never seen her do before.

She pulls me close to herself and growls at the other female with a hiss says "Fuck off, he's mine!" Whoaho! What happened to my Dragoness! Wait, did I call her mine? Weird. I so did not see that coming! She pulls me behind her and I look up at Geose who smirks down lightly at me.

"Looks like you got yourself claimed, bro. Good luck with this one, she isn't the easiest to get a smile out of, nor is her family." He turns to the new Dragoness who kneels to Lilith and he places a hand atop of the butt of his sword at it side and gains a stern mask. "Gather the survivors and begin heading back to the castle." He orders with a deep booming voice. Wait, wait, wait. Where am I going now? Do I go back to the cave in the clearing or am I being kidnapped by these giants!?

"And what of the ape?" The Dragoness asks. Geose looks to me and rubs his chin.

"We shall take him with the carriage along with the princess. Something tells me she won't let us take him away from her." He says with light smirk and looks to Lilith who has wrapped her tail around my waist. What am I some sort of doll!? "Shall we, Princess Lilith?" He asks.

"Yes, we leave now." She says while glancing over to me with a strange look in her eyes. Oh boy, what have I gotten myself into this time!?

"W-What?! W-Where are we going!? I have a cave remember!?" I say in surprise as she brings me up to her eye level, which was a few feet seeing as I was about 5' 11".

"Back to the castle, my home." She growls out. I feel the urge to roll over and accept it, but of course me being me I choose the funner route.

"Really? Why's that? Huh? I just now learn that I'm bound to you, not that I'm camplaining, but what if I'm going to bond to another female? And what of your father and mother and siblings let alone the rest of the whole Dragon Nation! How are you going to explain that to everyone!?!?" I exclaim loudly and she raises a ridge as Geose gives me an amused look.

"Are you afraid?" He asks me. No shit Sherlock! I glare at him.

"Of course I'm afraid! I'm an alien here and I'm going to be surrounded by a bunch of people who might want me dead just like when I was at home! Why the hell would I NOT be afraid of these turns of events!? I don't do well in crowds or with a bunch of people around me dammit!!!" I roar out. Geose narrows his eyes.

"What was that about people that want you dead?" He asks. Lilith gives me a stern look and I grow silent. Oh shit I said too much!

"Cade, tell me right now!" She says with a warning and slightly hissing tone. I sigh softly and bow my head in shame. Fuck me, fuck me so hard right now! And NO not like THAT you sick perverts!

"I...I'll explain in this carriage thing, a-alright? I don't like talking about it." I mutter out. Fucking hell how do any of these males do anything with females that practically run their lives!?

"Very well. But you will also explain this to the King and Queen, as they are here as well." Geose says surprising not only me, but Lilith as well. Well ain't that fan-fucking-tastic!? Ugh, I guess this is how Spike felt. And with that, I am dragged away towards the giant metal cage I call my doom. Fuck my life, fuck it so hard right now!
