Chapter 4 - Why..
The large black and red anthro dragon stood there, frozen in fear, unable to move, like the wolves gaze had trapped him, the wolf took a few steps forward and he snarled.
"I said.. Who's there!? Answer me!" The little wolf yelled.
Finally finding the ability to move his legs again, the dragon took a step into the clearing, letting the light show him.
"I-I.. I'm not here to hurt you.. please calm yourself.." Drake said softly.
Frost gazed upon the larger creature and he backed down a little due to the sheer intimidating size of the lizard but continued to growl.
"Who are you!?" Frost shouted angrily, but there was still fear in his voice, as he was clearly not strong enough to take on this creature if it chooses to attack him.
The dragon took a few steps hastily toward the wolf, causing him to back against the cave wall and growl. The dragon sighed and shook his head.
"Can you please just trust me..? I am not going to harm you, if I wanted to I could easily have ended your life before this encounter even occurred.." He said sternly and walked over to the wolf and stood in front of him, the wolf slid down against the wall, shrinking under the dragons gaze as he towered over him, he ceased his growling and whimpered in fear.
"Here.." The dragon said softly and gently brought a claw down to the wolf's face and brushed his cheek gently.
"See? I'm not going to harm you.. I want to make sure you're ok.." He said softly and kneeled down in front of the wolf, looking him over. The wolf looked up and stared at him for a second and gasped.
"You.. That was you!" He said as he stood up, he pointed at the dragon.
"You nearly killed me!!" He barked angrily at the dragon, the dragon looked at him and tried to calm him.
"Please calm down.. let me explain.." He said softly.
"Explain!! What is there to explain?! You nearly killed me when that branch fell! You are lucky that I dodged it!" He barked at him angrily, taking a step towards him as he got more confident.
The dragon sighed and continued to try to calm him but was interrupted each time, he was getting tired of this wolves impatience. "Please.. I didn't mean too..." The dragon spoke softly..
"You didn't mean too?! Sorry bud that's not going to cut it!" He said angrily and stepped right up to the dragon and pointed at his face. The dragon sighed sadly and growled a little and suddenly he threw his head back and roared angrily, the wolf immediately backed away in fear, unable to speak.
"You ungrateful little fuck! I SAVED YOUR LIFE!!" He roared at him angrily, breathing heavily.
"I was following you to make sure you were ok!!" He got right in the wolf's face and stared into his blue eyes, small tears started to run down his scaly cheeks as he backed away from the wolf and suddenly flew off. Frost sat there, lacking words to explain what had just happened, he sat back on the ground and pulled his knees up to his chest and stared down between them with eyes wide open. He groaned and held his head as that roar echoed in his mind.
"I-it.. it really was him... he saved my life... b-but why... why would such a powerful creature like that.. a dragon.. why would he save such an insignificant creature like me..." He said to himself softly, his body shook a little in fear, seeing those golden eyes staring deep into his own, the anger in them, the sadness... the hurt..
"You idiot.. you just screamed at the guy that saved your life.. the guy that was trying to help you.. the first sign of intelligent life in this silent forest... and you pushed it away.. good fucking job Frost.. well done..." He said angrily, and laid his head on his knees and started to sob softly...
"Ungrateful... ungrateful.. hurtful.. Why did I even save his puny life.. bastard!!" Drake roared in his den, tears rolled down his cheeks like rain, he wrapped himself up in his wings and pulled his knees to his chest.
"I was just trying to help you.. why couldn't you see that.. why couldn't you understand.. I saved your life because I felt something when I saw you that first time 2 years ago... something I've never felt in the longest time.. I've watched you.. admired your beauty from afar whenever your shining presence wanders into this bleak dead place.. and.. and.." His voice trailed off as he explained his reasoning to himself.. trying to find some sort of comfort to calm himself..
