The house looks exactly as it did in her dream. She feels like she can't breathe and Dantalian's paw reaches over and strokes down her back. She takes a deep breath and then knocks on the door.

A woman, around the age her mother would have been, answers the door. She has short cropped, blond hair with a full but shapely body. With a concerned and questioning look she says, "Hello, can I help you?"

"Hi, is your name Sarah?"

The woman frowns. "Are you selling something, I'm not interested if you are selling something."

"No, ma'am. Do you remember a woman named, Bethany?"

The woman's eyebrows raise. "Yes, who are you?"

"I'm Lena," she hesitates, "her daughter."

"Oh my God, I never thought I'd see you again." She grabs Lena's hand and pulls her inside and closes the door before the dragon can get in. He stays on the porch, waiting and listening.

"How did you find me? Your mother told me some crazy story and when I didn't believe her and threatened to tell the authorities, she disappeared with you."

"I went to our old neighborhood." Sarah motioned for Lena to sit in the dark brown, overstuffed chair in the living room. Sarah sat down on the matching couch. "The neighbor across the street told me I was adopted and showed me a photo of you and mom at a block party." Lena glanced out the large window with a view of the front yard and then back to Sarah.

"Okay, but that doesn't explain how you found me." A line creases over Sarah's forehead.

"I don't think you will believe how I found you." Lena looks down at the gray Berber carpet, the glass coffee table with magazines perfectly aligned spread across the top, and then back up at Sarah. "What did my mother tell you that made you want to contact the authorities?"

"Some crazy story about a woman coming out of nowhere with a baby and handing the little girl to her telling her to take care of her and she would check in from time to time. She said the woman told her you were a special child and she was to take extra good care of you, but it was all nonsense. I was starting to think your mother kidnapped you because she wanted a baby so badly and that's why I was going to report her."

"Did she tell you anything else about the sorceress?"

"I-I didn't tell you that your mother called her a sorceress..."

"But she did though, call her a sorceress, didn't she?"

"Yes but how did you know that?"

"Because I think the Sorceress visited me in my dreams and showed me where you live so I could find you."

Sarah smirks as she snidely asks, "Well, if that's the case, why did you need to find me at all, why didn't she tell you whatever you wanted to know?"

Lena chose not to react to her disbelief and rudeness. "I'm not sure, but I think she is in another realm and can't always get over to this one or something like that. Really I don't know. It could have been her mother the Goddess; I just assumed it was the Sorceress." Lena feels a weight pulling her down making it hard to speak. Sarah is confirming that Lena really is not from this world and Lena can feel herself shutting down.

Sarah is shaking her head. "Your mother told you all of this, didn't she? That's where you heard this entire crazy story? Maybe you're as crazy as she is." Sarcasm drips from every word.

Lena feels her blood beginning to boil and the fatigue that was weighing her down just a moment ago vanishes. "No, she never told me anything. I was left in the dark about who I am while her drug addicted boyfriend drugged my mother unconscious every night so that he could do horrible things to me. He told me that if I ever told my mother what he was doing he would kill her and then he'd be able to do whatever he wanted to me all day every day instead of just at night. He told me to be a good little girl and do exactly what he says or he would hurt my mother. It would have been nice to know she wasn't my real mother and I would have just left a long time ago instead of having to wait until they were both dead in a car accident!" Lena had stood up at some point and her voice raised to a level that when she stopped the silence rang through the room. Sarah was sheet white.

"I-I'm so sorry, Lena. I didn't know what happened to you or I would have gotten you away from them and into a safe home or maybe I would have been able to find your real parents."

Lena sits back down into her chair and huffs out air. "What else did she tell you?" Lena says quietly.

Sarah sits back on the couch and takes a deep breath. "Really, Lena, she was delusional..."

"What.else.did.she.tell.you?" Lena's eyes bore into her.

"Oh what the heck, not like it's real or anything. She said the woman told her that when you came of age, a dragon would come to you, that you were supposed to mate with the dragon and come into your powers. That once you had your powers it would be safe for you to go back to where you came from, to some other world. For goodness sakes she was obviously delusional, Lena, maybe I can help you find your real parents and where you really came from."

Lena stands up. "Was there anything else?"

"No, nothing else." Sarah stands up as well.

"Thank you for sharing what you know. I need to get going now." Lena turns and walks toward the front door.

"Wait, Lena, let me help you."

"Sarah, I'm sure you are a nice person but there isn't anything you can do to help me." Lena turns and walks away.

Sarah watches her walk down the street and is confused as it looks like Lena is leaning against someone but no one is there. She watches her until she turns down the next street and cannot see her anymore.

Lena relays everything to Dantalian. "So you are from my world? I wonder why they can see you and not me?"

"Honestly, maybe because you are all dragon and I'm something else. She didn't say what power I would come into. What do you know about the Sorceress?"

"Just that she is the offspring of a Goddess and the original Dragon King. She seems quite powerful, she never ages, or at least doesn't look like she ages, and she loves dragons just like her mother."

"What does she look like?" They walk past the bus stop. Lena is not ready to be around people just yet.

"I've never seen her I just know that it is said she is so beautiful that no dragon can resist her."

"What about the Goddess, do you know what she looks like?"

"Sorry, Lena, the only ones that have seen her are the Dragon Kings and Trillia. Though I imagine the shifter maidens look a lot like the Goddess and the Sorceress since they all look similar. They all have dark brown hair, Trillia has dark brown eyes but some of the others have different colored eyes and they are all attractive." He's looking at Lena and her reddish brown hair, nothing like Trillia's or the other shifter maidens plus she is much shorter and pixie like compared to the curvy shifters. All of that confirming for him that she is not one of them.

They walk quietly for several blocks until Lena looks up and around. "I'm going to catch the next bus. I want to be left alone for a bit. I know you are going to protest but I really need to process everything. I'll meet you back at the house tonight. Please respect my need for some alone time." She turns and walks away from him as his mouth opens and closes. What can he do but respect her wishes. He flies up and toward downtown.

*****

Lena walks around for hours and then sits on a bench. Mostly she just watches the cars as people drive by; rushing from one place to the next. She feels numb. Nothing seems real. This is not her world but this is the only world she knows. She wonders if she actually has to mate with the dragon or if what she did this morning has already activated her powers whatever they may be. She decides she would rather not test them out here in front of all the people passing by.

She thinks about her mother, the mother she was before her father died. She seemed like any other mother, sweet, making cookies and meals with lots of hugs and snuggles. Her mother had her moments of frustration with her when she was little but for the most part she had been kind and patient. That's the mother she likes to remember not the one that was so drugged out she couldn't see what her boyfriend was doing to her little girl. She wonders if the Sorceress knew what was happening and why she hadn't done anything about it; why she didn't take her out of there and put her somewhere else. Or maybe she was so caught up in what was going on in her world she forgot about her. That seems more likely as she was only one little girl after all how important could she be?

She continues watching the cars go by until she realizes she is hungry. She catches the next bus and rides to the downtown area, grabs a pizza and then catches the bus home. It's dark by the time she walks through the woods toward the house.

"I've been worried about you."

She jumps but manages to keep a hold of the pizza. "Damn it, Dantalian, you scared the crap out of me." He is standing on the path in front of her and she had not even heard him approaching.

"Well then you can call us even as I've been out of my mind worried about you." They walk to the front door.

"I didn't mean to worry you, Dantalian, I just had a lot to think about and needed some time and space to do that." She puts the pizza box down on the counter and pulls out another piece. She had already eaten two pieces on the bus with various people frowning at her as the whole bus smelled like pizza.

"Did you figure anything out?" He asks as she takes a bite.

"Mmmhmm..." She mumbles as she chews. "That I must not have been all that important for the sorceress to leave me here in the care of two drug addicts and one of which being a pedophile."

He lets out a long breath. He was afraid she would be obsessing about that; of course he could not help but wonder about the same thing but he had a feeling there was a good reason at least he hopes there was.

She finishes eating the slice of pizza, grabs a glass of water and her tooth brush and goes outside to brush her teeth. A few minutes later she comes back in and looks at Dantalian.

"So it seems we were supposed to meet, according to the sorceress who gave me and the message to my mother. We are even supposed to mate if that message is true."

He is watching her, she certainly does not seem like she is in a mating mood. She seems more like she is in a ball busting mood but thankfully he is not the one she is mad at. He decides to continue giving her space and curls up on the blankets.

She watches him get comfortable and then she changes into her nightshirt and quietly climbs under the covers next to him. Earlier today she had actually wanted to mate with him but now that she knew she was supposed to she was mad about it. Not that it is his fault, but she is still mad. She turns over, facing away from him and closes her eyes. She thinks sleep will evade her but she is going to try and get some rest. Maybe tomorrow things will look and feel better.

*****

It is a slow day at the Vet's office and Lena has more time than she likes to think about everything she discovered over the weekend. She is not sure why she even came to work when it sounds like her life here in this world is almost over. She will probably be moving on to that other world that she knows almost nothing about. Who says she has to move to that other world? She has built a life for herself here, why does she have to move? What is waiting for her in that other world? What is so important that she had to be hidden away here and only allowed to go back after she gets her powers, whatever they may be? What will she have to protect herself from that she will need her powers?

She knows she is being problematic but ever since she has been on her own, she has not liked someone else telling her what she can or cannot do.

She looks up at the clock and it is moments away from five o'clock, time for her to leave for the day and head to the square. She straightens up her work area, shuts down the computer and says goodbye to the Vet and his assistant before she clocks out.

She is not close with them but they have been in her life for the last two years. They always get her something nice for her birthday and Christmas. Last Christmas they bought her a membership to the local art museum because they knew how much she loves to draw. She visits it periodically just to sit and sketch out of the weather and gain inspiration from all the famous artists. She wonders if they even have artists in the other world. From what little Dantalian has said about that world, it does not sound very progressive.

She opens the front door of the Vet clinic and sees him standing across the street waiting for her. She cannot help but smile at seeing him. He has become a steady presence in her life so quickly. He is always there ready to help her anyway that he can. Does he feel this thing that is growing between them or is she the only one? She glances both ways and then heads across the street giving him a big hug when she gets to him.

"Hey, what are people going to think about you hugging nothing but air?" He teases.

"Oh fuck 'em."

He chuckles as they begin to walk the ten blocks to the square. "Are you sure you don't want me to fly us there, ten blocks is rather long?"

"No, I could use the exercise after sitting at the front desk all day." Does she even need to go to the square this evening? She cannot make up her mind about what she is going to do. Is she going to stay or go? Is she going to mate with Dantalian or not? He is being decidedly quiet about all of it. He has probably figured out, in the few short days that he has known her, she will decide when she is good and ready and not a minute before.

As they finally approach the square she turns to him. "Honestly, I don't feel much like drawing tonight. Can you please just take me home?"

"Of course." Relief spreads through him as he does not like how tired she looks. It is as if the last few days are pressing her down and she cannot find a way back up.

They head to the alley between the buildings and he flies her up and high above the buildings into the clouds and home.

When he lets her go she makes her way inside. She pulls out the Jerky and opens a can of peaches and sits at the kitchen island eating. She notices Dantalian sniffing the air.

"They are peaches, they aren't as good as fresh but I'll share if you want to try one."

He comes over and sits close to her. She pokes a peach slice with her fork and holds it out for him. He carefully takes it off of the fork and swallows it down. "Not bad, a little sweet and mushy but not bad."

"Do you want another?" She asks before taking another bite herself.

"Sure." She continues to share the peaches with him, bite for bite. A little juice drips down the side of his muzzle and his tongue comes out and licks around cleaning it up.

Her heart beat increases as she watches his tongue and sees his nose flair again. She looks down and takes another bite of the Jerky as the peaches are gone. She drinks the juice out of the can and then throws it away.

She is not sure how one goes about mating with a dragon. He has stirred her blood since the first night they slept together. Maybe she is part dragon too just not from the Sorceress; why else would she be attracted to a dragon? She did not think that was a usual thing.

Lena walks over to the blankets and slowly begins taking off her clothes while watching him.

He turns around unable to take his eyes off of her. She may not be a shifter maiden but she is obviously something magical. He had thought he had been drawn to her because she could see him, but what if it was more than that? What if they are supposed to be together? He does desire her and can feel himself growing out of his sheath as he watches her undress and he can scent her arousal. She is now completely unclothed as she holds her hand out to him. He takes a long, slow breath and makes his way to her.

Lena presses her body against him, feeling the roughness of his scales against her body and finds it surprisingly comforting. Even knowing this is something they are supposed to do, a little fear prickles at her.

Dantalian gently runs his forepaws over her back trying to soothe her as he can feel her nerves. "You don't have to do this, Lena, no matter what message was left for you it is your choice."

She cannot help but smile at his compassionate heart. He would never knowingly hurt her and she has always felt safe around him. She has never felt safe around men, not since her mother's boyfriend shattered her childhood. Dantalian is different though, not just because he is a dragon, his spirit is the kindest she has ever met.

She looks up at him as her hands reach up to his muzzle. "This is what I want, not because of some stupid message, but because I want you."

A low growling purr rumbles through him. He lowers his head from his long neck and nuzzles her. "I want you too, Lena, more than I can put into words."

Lena rubs her body up against his shaft that is fully out of his sheath now. She leans down a little and her tongue flicks across the speared tip and he sucks in a quick breath.

"Lena, will you let me help prepare you for this? I'm worried if you don't this might hurt you and that's the last thing I want to do."

She slowly nods her head. He leans her back, bends forward, and his tongue gently moves between her folds. Her breathing quickens and he purrs louder hearing her response. He slowly licks and presses around her nub and then plunges his tongue into her.

Lena gasps as heat is spreading through her and her body enjoys his touch. She arches upward, wanting more. He pushes his tongue deeper into her and she cries out her pleasure. His nose gently nuzzles her nub as his tongue hits her magical spot and she moans deeply. He presses on until her whole body is tightening up and her cries of ecstasy ring through the house. He pulls her up as he leans back, positioning her over him and she begins to gyrate against him. She places him at her opening as desire and fear mix again.

"We can stop if you need to stop."

Her heart expands that he would do that for her. "No, I want this… I want you." She pushes downward and feels the pressure of him as she slowly tries to accommodate his size. She can feel herself stretching as she holds just the tip within her. She presses down a little more as he fills her to the point she feels like she might split open. She stops and allows herself to adjust.

Dantalain's paws curl into the blankets as the exquisite torture of her silky tightness moves over him. He keeps himself perfectly still letting her set the pace.

Lena feels an ache deep within her, wanting more of him and she presses down further until she cries out and pants with how good it feels as the pain and pleasure mix.

Dantalian's head nuzzles at her. "My brave Lena..." He whispers. "you are so strong, and so fierce."

Lena feels herself expanding, making more room for him, which she had not thought possible as she takes more of him within her. Slowly she begins to move, allowing him to move with her until they are both panting. She feels it building between them. She can feel him as if she were a part of him as the energy moves back and forth, from him to her and her to him. A deep growl rumbles out of him and she knows he is close. It feeds her desire and she cries out as another orgasm rolls through her. He feels it and lets loose a loud grunt as his seed shoots into her. Both are grunting and growling as it spirals through them. Lena feels light moving through her, can see strands of magic connecting her with him and everything around her. She does not understand how but she knows that is exactly what it is. She is surprised she could not see and feel it before as it is so bright and so strong.

She is purring as they both slowly come back to themselves. She can feel him shrinking within her until he is completely out of her and she misses the feeling of fullness, of being connected to him physically as well as on all other levels. She can still feel the mental and emotional connection with him.

: Thank you, Dantalian. :

He chuckles. : It is I who should be thanking you, my sweet Lena. That was the best gift you could ever have given me. : He nuzzles her as his paw strokes her back.

"Do you feel any different?" He asks her.

"I felt a shift during... yes, I can feel the magic and see the strands connecting me to everything."

"I wonder why you had to mate with me to be able to see it?" She must be powerful if she can actually see the magic and how everything is connected. He only knows one other person who is that powerful.

"I have my own theories on that, it is possible that I am part dragon just not from the Sorceress. I'm hoping she will be able to fill in some of the blanks when we return."

Dantalian freezes. "You've made your decision about going back? But how will we return?"

"I think I will be able to see it now. I want to say goodbye to my boss at the pizza place as he has been there for me unlike any other person has. I don't want him to wonder what happened to me if I just disappear, he deserves more than that. I'll call my other employers and let them know I won't be coming in again and then we can leave after that. I'll meet you in the square tomorrow around noon as I'll have to wait until the pizza place opens."

Dantalian carefully slides her off of him as he turns to his side and curls around her. Tomorrow is going to be a big day of massive change for both of them.
