Something Else Started Happening

Aden watched Mona eat with shock and awe she was like a ravenous beast.

"Do you always eat and drink like this Mona?"

"Are you crazy" She looked at him like he lost his mind. When she was the one stuffing food down her throat as if the world was ending and she indented to store food in her belly.

"Then, is something wrong?" Aden asked in concern again she looked at him as if he was crazy then she answered tersely "What do you think Chocolate?!"

"Ok, Ok" He raised his two hands up palms facing forward in surrender. He didn't know what was wrong but he liked this hungry side of her.

"I'll go get the medical scanner and then we'll know what triggered your sudden case of gluttony."

He chuckled as she gave him the finger. Her temper was so cute, he found he liked it. He felt light better than he did in years and not just because of the incredible sex but because of Mona herself. She was wild and unpredictable and talked a mile a minute except when she was stuffing her face with his food.

Even that felt good feeding her, when he woke up after their intense love making he had the sudden and all-consuming need to feed the woman sleeping beside him.

He had bathed her and changed the blood stained sheets it surprised him that she slept right through it all. He had magiced up some clothes and had intended to give her dinner in bed.

Now as he watched her drink her weight in water he felt more than a bit of concern. He wanted to leave to get his medical scanner it would take seconds if he used a portal but he couldn't seem to concentrate enough to flash.

As she rested in his arms bubbling about how good his arms felt. He forced his brain to work. She was burning up she was now more dragon shifter temperature rather than her normal human temperature. He just then realized that he was unconsciously regulating his body temperature to suit her own because as hers increased his did too.

Mona watched as Chocolate left the kitchen, with dread. She ached all over but the ache didn't hurt, her skin felt as if it was expanding. Her body felt like it was on fire though without Chocolate's presence her skin literally itched with heat. Her mind felt a little hazy, the lights were on in the kitchen but she could barely see. It felt as if something was rising under her skin, she needed air. Mona stumbled from the kitchen with no proper direction. She just needed air, she didn't realize that she moved at a speed that she wasn't usually capable of. She wanted Chocolate.

Aden jogged to his living room and placed her on the couch and ran upstairs to his bathroom for the medical scanner. He went back to the living room to find it empty. His heart skipped several beats.

But he calmed down when he remembered she did the same thing this afternoon. He took in a lung full of air locking onto her scent. He followed it out to the back porch. what he found brought him to his knees.

Mona was on the porch swing in the fetal position her skin was covered over with a mist like substance. She seemed to be asleep but her chest didn't move Aden had to check her pulse. He breathed a sigh of relief when he felt it beating strong at her neck. The mist felt like slime and the brown thing stuck to his hand.

What the hell is going on he thought he reached for the medical scanner but realized that he left it in the living room in his panic. Aden couldn't leave her again to go get it.

"Mona" He called her gently shaking her shoulders slightly nothing happen. "Please wake up" Her sigh was the only response.

But then something else started happening the mist started to harden all over her body Aden panicked he called for his dragon to try to use magic to stop whatever was going on but the scaly bastard refused to come. Instead Aden felt a deep sense of satisfaction coming from the beast. Sometimes he really hated that the thing couldn't speak because he would have loved to know why the damn dragon wasn't panicking with him.

By this time the Mist was completely hard and covered her entire body you could no longer see Mona just the shine brown shell. It was like a crystal. Aden wanted to break it but was afraid he would hurt Mona.

"Mona please answer me please wake up!"

Mona didn't answer but the shell did glow lighting up so that Mona's silhouette could be seen inside, almost like ...an egg What the hell was happening?!

He knew what he had to do he got up from beside the swing and tapped his wrist. His communicator stone lit up.

"Mother summon the medical healers and have them wait in my chambers, I am coming home"

....

Aden stood on the back balcony of his home, the warm night breeze blowing gently on his face. Mona's 'egg' lay beside him warped in a blanket from his couch. He was swimming in anxiety but his dragon was calm.

He felt his beast rippled over him, causing his skin to shimmer with his scales. He dragon sent him waves of reassurance almost as if to say everything will be alright.

However he couldn't just sit at home and wait for something to happen. he had to know what was going on. The fastest way to do that was going to the shifterkind capital and consulting the healers. They were the best in the country and Aden felt certain they could provide him with answers his beast couldn't give him.

As he looked out at the three hundred archer property with its wide open fields, a lake and forests illuminated by the triple moon's glow. He some how know that Mona would love the land.

He had built the balcony he was standing on right outside of his bed room specifically to take in this view nightly even without the moons. He could imagine him and Mona spending a lot of time here which made no sense he just met the woman a few hours ago yet he felt like he had known her for a life time.

If he was thinking clearly he might of have guessed it was because they were mates however he was not so the thought never even occurred to him.

He began to shift to his semi dragon form, his skin became scales and his wings expanded from his back. He had three horns on his head signifying the fact that he was a grown mature dragon. His eyes become slits as the world became that much clearer through his dragon eyes.

The form was complete when his nails elongated becoming talons. Not many people outside of dragon shifter society knew that they could take this shape. This was for a good reason the sight that this form made would terrify people and make them even more afraid of his kind.

The wings rippled his dorgan glad to be out even if its just partially. He was using the quickest way for him to get to the capital, Magictrans. He gently scooped Mona's encasement up and it glowed for second Filling him with warmth his Dorgan growled contently. He flapped his wings once, twice and a third time to get air born. He continued to flap then consequently to gain altitude saying a portal spell as he entered the night sky.

The portal opened up directly above him and he gracefully glided through it.
