Dragon's Embrace (Boy x Dragon) Chapter Six: Fang you

(Saki)

Once inside the cave I moved to help Jacob set up the tent and the like that he had brought with him. My head was aching terribly but it was a feeling I had grown accustomed to over the years. Jacob seemed to be watching me with some care as if I would run away from him after he admitted being my mate. I didn't quite understand the whole significance behind the word but I was doing my best to understand and Jacob while still caring wasn't trying to crowd me for which I was very grateful.The area we had chosen was surrounded by a cusp of trees and the cave interior had a great deal of moss within it on the floor and the walls. I figured we could use it for blankets or something if we needed it however my greatest concern at the moment was a lack of weapon. I thought it seemed kind of petty and I did trust Jacob to take care of me if the occasion called for it and then some but I've lived all my life with it just having to rely on myself so while it was hard for me to share that burden with Jacob I was doing my best to adjust. The dragon in question seemed to sense my inner struggle.

"Something wrong?" he asked me as he finished constructing the tent within the depths of the cave. "Yeah you could say that." I replied turning towards him and watching his warm blue eyes for a few moments. He didn't press me just waited for me to elaborate. "Its just lack of a means to defend myself. I can't use my abilities right now without risking a blood vessel popping in my brain and killing me." Jacob look shifted to one of concern and I apologized. "Sorry I'm not used to putting things delicately or using tact in conversation. That was quite blunt." Jacob laughed lightly at my words and reached to ruffle my hair. I chuckled with him before listening as he said "I could teach you how to make a bow and how to shoot."

"That would be welcome.Sides if anything happens in town screams will start and that will be our cue." Jacob's look turned to full concern and I held up my hand to stop him. "They may be faster, They may be stronger, but they haven't been raised in a lab for all their lives and taught the many ways to kill someone just with their thoughts alone. They just go for the brute force method and there are other far more effective ways to get into someone's head. I am weakened right now and I know you care for me Jacob but don't you dare for a second think you can coddle me."

Jacob moved towards me and slipped his arms around me pulling me close. "Your tense." he said softly in my ear as I began to slowly relax into the hug. I head his heartbeat and surprisingly instead of being jarring like I expected it was soothing and I focused on that the slow rymthic beats calming me down.

Jacob took that chance to start to ease my shirt up but I stopped him. "What are you doing?" I asked a note of slight fear in my voice as my tension returned as fast as it had left. "I'm going to lift up your shirt and have you lay down so I can massage your back."

I clenched my fists and then breathed deeply and held the breath before releasing it willing my tension away. "Do you not want me to take off your shirt?" he asked and unbidden I felt tears welling up. "I'll do it. Just...don't freak out ok?" I said softly my voice shaky.

Jacob took a step back and gently applied pressure under my chin so I had to look up at him. "Hey if you have a reason for not wanting to take off your shirt I can understand." His tone was honest and it didn't seem as if he was pressuring me or anything like that. I took a breath and a step back turning around and reaching for the hem of my shirt.

Come on now Saki. You've endured far worse than this. Just taking off your shirt shouldn't be such a big issue. I thought to myself before my own mental voice countered "_Yeah but it was never for someone that cared for you._I had to concede that point before forcing myself to start slowly lifting up my shirt as I did so I knew the exact moment that my many scars, poorly healed cuts, and bruises began to show as I heard Jacob's breath hitch. I felt his eyes on me and this time I let the tears fall. I didn't stop until the shirt was off and then I slowly turned around to show the same pattern of bruises and the like on my front. "It...goes lower." I manage to say looking at the floor.

"I'm sorry. If I had known I wouldn't have asked you too do this." said Jacob as his feet slowly moved closer to me. "You had no way of knowing. I guess because I was in your shirt and the like the scent of it all was concealed from you." "That might be the case but I should have noticed." he replied stopping just in front of me.

"How did all of this...happen?" he asked quietly gesturing towards me. "Over many years and varied experiments. They found out at a young age if I was hurt my abilities would react rather violently towards whoever did it. First person that ever hurt me was killed right in front of my eyes quite violently. Twisted up in a way a contortionist could only dream of."

"I'm sorry you had to go through that." said Jacob finally bridging the gap between us but seeming unsure of where to hold me. "It doesn't hurt. You can hold me anywhere." I tell him and he complies pulling me against him as he holds me making a gentle soothing noise as he does so.

The scales on his hands feel soft and nice against my skin and I can feel his chest move as he breathes. As he holds me I feel his hands gently run over my back. "I'd like that massage. Gives you an excuse to keep your hands on me." I remark with a light smile.

Jacob chuckled but moved to let me get down on the moss which I eased down upon gingerly. Jacob moved behind me and to my side and started to gently massage my back. I grunted in slight pain and he apologized as he continued.

I just staid still as it continued and he began to work his magic and made my back begin to slowly unknot and I began to feel at ease. Though I admit I began to enjoy feeling the scales against my bare skin.

I noticed towards the end of the massage that the subtle scent of Saki's arousal parted the muskiness of the cave. I didn't comment however as I didn't want to embarrass him. Instead I slipped my arms around him and unfurled my wings to gently cover us both as I pulled him onto my chest. He didn't protest he just settled peacefully against me and began to drift off. I watched him as he slept wishing I knew more of what had happened to him.

Soon I drifted to sleep to and as I did I held him more firmly hoping that by doing so he would feel safe the smell of his earlier arousal still tickling my nose a bit. Oh other people would have acted on that by now I'm sure but I'm not like that.

Since Jacob and Saki vanished yesterday there has been speculation as to what happened to them. I barley managed to get my father down from the wall along with Barry. I had a bad silver burn from doing such and when Barry tried to get smart I lost my patience and slammed into the wall by his throat.

"Don't say another word. Or I might just enjoy breaking your jaw." I told him before I lowered him down. "Well dad at least I came by my temper honestly." I said to him as I turned to walk away. My dad attempted to grab me but I side stepped and then continued on my way.

I approached the Dragoness' home and knocked politely remembering that she worked at the local hospital as a nurse. To my surprise she did open the door though she looked beyond tired. "I'm sorry to say but your two boys have left the pack lands. I don't know quite why just yet but dad got pushy and they ran off."

"Well wherever they are they will make it just fine." I said with confidence and she nodded in response. I moved to go send a message to the Pack council the division that allotted new lands to the packs and who ruled us for the most part. There were a few packs that kept the peace themselves and while friendly with the Council at large did not fall under their direct domain.

I drew out the stationary and set to work. The older generations would ridicule me even turning to the council I'm sure as we had never sought their aide before. I however didn't much care for tradition in this instance. My pack was in danger and there were forces at work I didn't quite understand.

So after I entered the house and got a drink of sweet tea from the refrigerator I moved towards the office to get started on writing the letter. After getting out the pack's stationary which held the pack seal a wolf and a black crescent moon at the base I reached for a pen and began to slowly and carefully write.

Dear Council,

Some matters within my territory have given me reason to request aid from the council itself. I will detail them as follows. The first reason I have written you is that a rather strange human has showed up within our border. His name is Saki and he seems to wield two abilities that would give anyone pause. Telethapy the ability to read minds and Telekinesis the ability to move objects with his mind. I would have never believed this had he not demonstrated them on me first hand. Due to his presence here I was informed of some rather unwelcome guests. They have taken my beta and while I'm not quite sure what exactly they are, Saki tangled with one of their number and that person is currently in custody. Saki was exiled from the pack lands via my fathers decision after an interrogation went wrong and one of our number Jacob went with him. Whether they are mates or friends I don't know but before they left Saki gave the impression that something big was going to go down. So I am requesting aide from the Council to help our pack before disaster occurs.

Sincerely Yours,

Harry Knox Alpha of the Dark Crescent Pack

Once done with the letter I folded it neatly and addressed it before going to post it. On my way out I puased to look at the only picture of my mom in the house. We lost her in a rougue attack. She was protecting the pups when it happened.

Dad tried to raise me the best he could but he was often busy though I like to think I took more after my mom's gentle kindness than his iron rule. I headed out the door and to the mailbox. After posting the letter I made my way back.

I was chained to the wall by silver and severly burned and weakened as a result. They had kept me alive by feeding me the barest amount of food I could have and survive. I suppose I should be greatfull my blood wasn't pleasing to them.

That however did not stop me from hearing the loud frightened screams of those they fed upon. Such screams started huanting my periods of unconciouness as I was far to weak for my liking.I heard slow footfalls approaching and so I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep. To my suprise however the footsteps went past my cell and a door nearby opened. Someone was shoved inside and hit the ground with a grunt that sounded male.

Well that's an interesting development. I thought to myself as I listened further as the person seemed to get to their feet. The jailor seemed to be in the room with them whoever it was as they said "Just becuase I'm human form doesn't mean I don't have my own bite."

I smelled the distinct smell of blood followed by the smell of a flower. This left me confused as I had never smelt that before. "Sick `em" said the boy and the sounds of a vampire speed reached my ears but oddly enough there was no acompanying movement from the human though something seemed to be chasing the vampire.

A hollow cruel luagh was heard. "You can't control my flowers. They only listen to me and they can think for themselves. Even if you mind raped me into oblivion they would still chase you down and destroy you."

A loud metallic shreik was heard as something smashed into the wall close to my part of the cell and it seemed to almost force its way through. "Now i've got you boy!" said the vampire. Guess he got grabbed" "On the contrary I've got you." he replied and then screams of agony from the vampire in question were heard.

Then the wall to my cell was promptly ripped open by cherry blossoms of all things. I watched as a boy wearing a kimono with dirty blond hair and blue eyes wearing glasses emerged from the hole the flowers seemingly coming from him.

"Ahh so they cuaght you too. They grabbed my mate as well. They are going to pay for that." his voice was quite but every word seemed to promise pain and hurt to those that dared to mess with him. He snapped his fingers and two quick slashes later I was free of my cuffs. I massaged my tender wrists and said "How come your not weakened by the silver?"

"Oh I am weakened. Every step burns the hell out of me. But they took my mate...so it's a small price to pay." he replied a light snarl coming from him before I heard more footsteps. "You get your circulation back and then get out of here. It's playtime for me."

He moved into the hall to fight the approaching mass of vampires his flowers already dripping in vampire blood almost seeming to absorb it. I massaged my limbs to get the circulation and the like back and then I shifted to human form. However I moved behind him and he seemed amused yet his tone was fond. "You wolves, you never do what your told to do." Then two vampires rounded the corner. One male the other female and both of them lunged across the distance to get us both. I dodged to the side while the flower boy stood firm. As the male vampire reached for him he promptly lost his hands.

"Do you need a hand?" asked the kid luaghing lightly. That luagh was cruel and harsh and it sent shivers down my spine. I dodged away from the slash the female attempted to make and socked her in the jaw. Were strength or not it still hurt like well like a bitch.

A swishing noise was heard and the vampiress head seperated from her body. "Die medusa." muttered the boy before moving on checking the cells on either side. I looked to and found most of them to be empty. He did puase before one cell and rip off the door to free the occupant which appeared to be a red haired girl. I would consider her normal except for when she stepped out of the cell blue flames wove their way through her fingers.

"A pyrokinetic?" said the flower boy curiously. "Yep. Name's Scarlett." "Sukura." he replied as they kept walking. I followed behind and when they stopped I sniffed the air to see if they cuaght a scent . Sukura seemed to be focusing on something and muttered a curse before running off. "What did he say?" I asked Scarlett. "I don't know it was to low to hear." she replied before heading upwards towards the sunlight.

I followed her up before ducking back down again as a wave of flame spread from her fingertips towards the incoming masses of fangs. Scarlett seemed delighted at the mass of flames she had just spawned and then grinned. "Yay enough fangs to make a nice necklace."

"You do that." I told her before punching out a window and after clearing the glass heading out the the saftey of the sunlight. I hoped my pack handn't forgot about me. From far below I could smell and somewhat feel the intense heat the pyromanic was generating.

In front of me the ground explouded with cherry blossoms and I moved back hastily as Sukura clawed his way up from the depths holding a black fured wolf closeto his chest. "Wulfy come one wake up!" he said softly shaking the wolf while his flowers seemed primed to kill anyone that came near the pair. I took a long detour away from the flowers before resuming my treck into town.
