Stench

"Are you sure you want to kill me? Cause I make a really good salad." I'm pretty bored, but I don't think this guy has the right person. I don't have any teeth on me besides my own.

"Heh, keep joking around, the first thing I'll do is rip that noisy tongue from your mouth!" The intruder was getting riled up. I just have to wait until he makes a mistake.

"Is that a fetish of yours? Or are you looking for SM (Sadist_Masochist) partners? Cause then I really can't help you with that."

No more noise could be heard besides the rustling of the trees and the soft breeze.

"Kneel!"

An angered voice came out of nowhere. As per se, Zenos dropped on his knees with his head tilted down.

Panic spread throughout Zenos as he heard the angered man's footsteps draw near.

When the man was standing right behind Zenos, a roar erupted the forest. Zeno's had no strength to see the man's face, as fear was all he could feel.

As soon as he felt the man's presence disappear, he fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

°Damons p.o.v.°

Zeno's just left through the front door, not even saying much. I really find my mate infuriating to be around right now, but I know I deserve it.

I couldn't bring myself to follow my mate and have him, even more, angered at me, so I decided to take care of Slasher. After all, she did help me, and get put in the dog house by her master for me. I'll just drop off some meat for her.

I walked throughout the house, reaching the kitchen. I went through the freezer, holding all the meat, and picked on the of the finest pieces. I also ignored all of the surprised looks on the kitchen staffs faces.

I left the kitchen, and with leaving the packhouse, I made my way towards Slasher.

To my surprise, Slasher was the only one there. Which only happened when Zenos separated them. They're like glued to get 24/7.

Slasher had a worried look on her face, so something must be up. I dropped the meat on the ground, running into the barn.

After a minute, I came rushing out of the barn, towards Slasher with a saddle in my arm. Which barely fit in my hold.

After saddling Slasher up, we took off in the direction that the other two dragons had left for.

My chest kept hurting, I knew my mate was scared and pleading for help. His intense emotions reached me, the closer we flew towards Zenos.

A roar erupted from my chest when I saw Zenos kneeling on the ground. Bloom and ice, nowhere to be seen.

Before I could make it to my mate, he already passed out on the damp ground. No place for Slasher to land, so I jump off her back, making a decent landing, before I dash towards Zeno's side. I held Zenos in my arms as I looked around for the intruder.

A terrible stench invaded my nose. The scent you get when you smell a rotting corpse.
