When she finally whispered his name in disbelief he smiled up at her a smile that sent Goosebumps all along her skin and not for a good reason. This wasn’t possible, this wasn’t happening. She could have honestly dealt better with coming face to face with a huge creature that were rare to spot. She wouldn’t have showed fear and would have stood up to the dragon before her life was taken, but this. This she couldn’t wrap around her. It was like her whole life was crashing because of all the lies it was built up on. So the only way she could deal with that was say this man who claimed to be her dragon that spoke to her in her mind to call him a liar. However, that just got him speaking like he was the dragon again, something unhuman. When she looked up for Emery in the sky and the man in front of her catch her in her lie she glanced down at him her mouth hanging open in surprise. She was speechless. It was like he had broken her mind.
So she did the only thing left she went for the very thing she hated most right now begging for help. The man started to laugh softly just creeping her out all the more. However, after she begged Emery to help her and she wouldn’t fight him the man spoke loud making her jump hitting her back hard along the alter. The chains then came loose from their connection from the ground now only clinging to her wrists as the chains swung towards her body dragging along the ground. But that didn’t matter because she didn’t get a second to realize what had happened before the same voice in front of her then appeared in her head before he switched to speaking out loud. That was the final proof that what the man in front of her claimed was the truth. “Oh my god.” She whispered just standing there for a second staring at him still gripping the edge of the alter totally frozen in fear, confusion and some other emotion that froze her.
She didn’t even move as he came forward closing the space between them and then letting his hand come up to touch her cheek. She took in a slow breath her heart racing as she looked up at Emery’s face. It wasn’t until he spoke about the dress that she snapped back into reality her hands coming up and pushing him away. “Get away from me!” She screamed at him before glancing towards the stairs, he was a dragon but her mind and body just screamed run. And before she realized she was running towards the stairs the chains on her wrists slowing her down before she was pulled back. She gasped her eyes going wide before she let out a scream of pure fear. She winced as she was pulled back but she didn’t feel any pain. Slowly she peeked an eye open to see Emery just holding her back. She took in a shaky breath before he told her the dress wasn’t complete. Yeah with her blood. She closed her eyes waiting for the blow but it didn’t come her one eye slowly peeked open through her blonde hair to see something dangling in front of her face. Seeing the necklace she looked at with surprise then confusion before she glanced away scowling up at Emery. “I-I-I don’t understand.” Ella finally said “aren’t’ you going to kill me?” She said before pausing and taking in a deep breath. “Just get it over with you’ve already ruined my life by making me train to be your priestess to only ripe it away. I could have had friends, I could have gone to a normal school, I could have done things normal people do.” She said harshly.
