What Your Love Felt Like-The Dragon Saga

“Liana! Liana! Are you alright? LIANA? ”

It was Draco’s voice. But why was he yelling at me?

“AAARRGGHH”

There was something hurting deep inside my chest. It was so sore that it made it impossible for me to even turn.

“LIANA. OPEN YOUR EYES! ”

was that a command?

How dare he? Did he have any idea that something inside was ablaze?

” Liana. You have to open your eyes. It’s almost time. Fight it! Fight the urge. ”

What in the earth was he talking about? What urge? Open eyes?

Liana tried to turn once more but yet again the excruciating pain made her give up.

“LIANA.”

There he goes again.

Alright. Alright. Turning around felt like a more comfortable option but, let’s try opening my eyes instead.

What just happened? Since when did my eyes start feeling like lead?

“LIANA. WE DON’T HAVE MUCH TIME.”

What time what was the rush. Besides, it looked like I was going to need fresh lessons as to ‘ how to open ones eye’.

What exactly was going on.

Like a tsunami the incident in Damian’s room rippled across my mind.

“Damian. Where is Damian? ”

That single thought caused all my senses to jerk my eyes open.

” It’s done. ”

” She’s come around. ”

” Thank be to the Heavens. ”

As the fog in my vision cleared, I thought I saw the most pleasant women that I ever could have imagined.

” Was I dead? Was I in heaven? ”

Besides there was no Draco around. Then how the hell was I hearing his voice? Was it in my head? Was I thinking about him even in death?

“Auch! ”

One of the beautiful women jabbed something at the back of my neck.

“There. There. Now that’s nicely done. We will leave from here. Take some good rest. One of the healers will come back in awhile to give you another round of checks and stamps. ”

Checks.

Stamps.

Healers.

The women left before I could have my doubts cleared.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

I was all alone inside what seemed like an open room. I could see the sky up above. It seemed lovely. Clear blue with traces of lavender.

The room looked like a bamboo house. Except those weren’t bamboos. It sparkled and glowed with a yellow tint. It had what resembled a table and some other storage places other than the bed I was in.

When I looked down, I found the bed too was not ordinary. It was definitely a water bed. But the material that enclosed the water in , did not seem like plastic.

I let my hand move over the surface. Trying to feel and decipher.

” Knock. Knock. ”

There seemed like someone was at the door.

It was Draco.

So I wasn’t dead after all.

Or was I?

He didn’t look anything like the Draco I had met. This one looked more like a God.

His hair was all white. His eyes glowed. They were a shade of the sky above.

He had some sort of an armour on him. No, wait. It was no armour, it looked more like silvery scales.

” So you are finally up. Have you recovered well? ”

“Were you not here a few moments ago? ”

I asked him instead of answering his question.

“Me? Here? Why no. I had other important things at hand. Is anything the matter? ”

He asked taking a good look at me. But I was sitting like a statue. Even my eyelids didn’t batter.

He wasn’t here. I was dreaming about him. What was wrong with me.

” Where is Damian? Where are we? What happened in his room back there? ”

I asked trying to divert my mind from my own embarrassment.

” It was sorcery. Of a very high precision. Definitely the work of someone from my kingdom.

Damian is safe. Thanks to you. He is with his caretakers.”

Did he just thank me. That’s good.

” I had to bring you to our healers. ”

He came suddenly over and pulled my dress.

” What are… ”

” There, ”

he pointed to a blackened spot above my breast, that looked like a bad scar from a burn.

” The effect of the sorcery lashed on you, instead of Damian when you tried to save him. But… ”

” But what? ”

” But I fail to understand how you were able to do that. You are just a mere human. ”

That was deeply offending.

“You can rest and recuperate. I will send you off to your world once the sorcery gets completely out of your system. ”

He turned to go out of the room.

” Wait. ” I yelled.

He turned immediately. But he definitely looked annoyed.

” What happens to Damian? ”

“What about him? ” he asked.

” Didn’t you say he was unsafe in your palace. And the sorcery or whatever does prove the the danger to his life is, far from over. ”

He nodded.

” You are right. He isn’t safe unless we can trace the offender. But I have found a way out to do just that. ”

He said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Why did that make my heart skip a beat. I tried to turn around and get up.

” Careful. ”

He was on his knees in a moment. And I was in his arms.

The moment I had tried to get off the bed, I had momentarily lost consciousness and was about to hit the floor.

It was great that he was faster than air. Even greater was his instinctive moves.

” Thank you. ”

I tried moving away from his grip but there was no way I could budge.

” Don’t try running around. It was a miracle that you are still breathing. With this fragile body of yours just focus on recovering and stay up. ”

He gently put me back on the bed. His face so close to mine, I could feel his breath. My heart was pounding so loudly, I had to hold my chest and my breath. He slid his hands away from under by body. I had an instant urge to pull him back. Not let go.

But then I bit my tongue to bring myself back to my senses. And smile at him cordially. But he was already gone.
