Chapter twenty-five - There's something I need to tell you...

The beautful moon illuminated the night, reflecting its silver light on the calm surface of the sea, the stars shone in the celestial infinity while Locke walked holding hands with Hanna, with the sounds of the waves being the only melody.

Locke was feeling complicated, being there with Hanna made him feel in many ways, he was happy, he was excited and... he felt guilty.

'I have to tell her!' Locke spoke up mentally.

"And how are you going to do that? Hey baby! let's fool around!, by the way, I'm a dragon, don't let that spoil the mood!" Tia replied.

'But I, I can't let things go on like this!'

Maybe Locke didn't realize it, after all, at first Hanna was just someone he was attracted to, but at some point he started to love her, and when he found out she loved him, he felt... complete.

The truth is that Locke always wanted company, a family, love. That's why Hanna grew up so much inside his heart, that's why he had accepted Tia so easily, that's why he had a hard time dealing with who was nice to him, Locke was tired of being alone, unconsciously he wanted to get close to people.

But that at the moment, his emotions made him feel guilty.

Locke clearly understood what it meant to sleep in the same room as her, Hanna was showing that she was willing to go to the next step in their relationship, and Locke, well, Locke was very excited about it.

But he also felt bad, Hanna was willing to give herself over to him, but he couldn't even share his secrets with her.

The truth is that Locke wanted to tell, but he had no idea how to tell, the fairy was right, Locke had no idea how to start, 'Hey Hanna, I'm happy to be in a relationship with you! I really love you! By the way, I'm a dragon! I hope it doesn't change our relationship! And I've already killed humans too! at least a dozen! But rest assured that they were all bad people, so that's okay! Soo... let's marry?' No way that would work.

"I know you are not going to give up..." Tia commented. "Go ahead, do what you have to do, we'll deal with the consequences together..."

Locke sighed.

"Does anything bother you?" Hanna asked.

Locke stopped walking. "I... There's something I need to tell you... But I don't know how..." Locke took a deep breath and prepared to let it all go. "The truth is that I-"

"Do you love me?" Hanna asked, cutting off Locke.

Locke was lost for a second, having his long-awaited revelation cut off by that sudden question. "I love you, more than words can say"

"That's enough for me" Hanna came over and kissed Locke on the lips.

The kiss evolved into caresses, and soon the two were lying together on the sand admiring the night sky.

Hanna had her face buried in Locke's chest, and Locke ran a hand through her smooth black hair.

"Hanna, there are things about me that you need to know... I have to tell you, before things get any more serious between us... I... I'm not really an normal person..."

"I know" Hanna replied.

"I'm serious, I'm definitely not like other people!" Locke spoked worried. " ...I'm not even human! Not totally... There are things about me... dark things! I'm afraid that when you know... you don't like me anymore!"

"Locke, I know!" Hanna replied, she stood up slightly and looked into Locke's eyes. "I know about the darkness that you carry! I know about the light that accompanies you! And I know that you are not an human! I know you hunt monsters in the night! I may not know what you are but I still love you!"

Locke was stunned. "How... how do you know all of this?"

Hanna left Locke's chest and sat down, holding on her knees. "I kind of have my own secrets too..."

Locke also sat down next to her, he put his arms around Hanna's body, the girl put her head on his shoulder, she starts to talk,

"Since I was little I have these dreams, dreams about the future, some are trivial things, things for the next day, a conversation that has not yet happened, a news in the newspaper... Others are horrible things, natural disasters, people dying, monsters... Hanna looked at Locke "In my dream I see everyone clearly, everyone else but one person, there is a figure in my dreams that is always obscured, I can't see his shape or face, his voice seems distorted and all my life I didn't know who that figure was, I just knew that whoever it was, was someone very important to me... The only thing I could do was feel a certain sensation emanating from that figure, the feeling that I always felt in you..."

Locke was gaping.

"At first the feeling was weak, but as we get closer I feel that she is getting stronger and stronger, so I was sure, the figure in my dreams is you!"

Locke didn't know how to answer, he never imagined that Hanna had a secret like that. "But..."

"I know that you are not human, not all my dreams are about trivial things, some are about a world of nightmares raiding the city, about a crack in the sky and a rain of monsters, demonic creatures in whose eyes I see the end of all things"Hanna took a deep breath. "In my dreams, this horde of monsters is ready to destroy the world when a black beacon rises, a shadowed figure rises to the skies and faces them alone, annihilating the monsters, saving people, closing the crack... that figure is you!"

Locke was increasingly confused. "Does that... Doesn't that bother you??"

"No"

"Even if I'm not human?"

"I do not mind"

"But I... I've already killed people!"

"I know, I saw it, I also saw what they did before with other people, and what they would do if you didn't kill them, you didn't do that for yourself, you never will do that for yourself, you did it for me!"

Locke was stunned, 'Is there anything she doesn't know?' He thought.

"This is the time when you are trying to understand why I love you, because deep down you fear a little what you have become, but let's skip that part. I love you, Locke Driscoll, I love the human you: kind and sweet, I love the inhuman you: righteous and fair, and nothing you was, is or will become will make me stop loving you! So let's skip to the part when you introduce me to the light that always accompanies you!" Hanna commented, with a cheerful smile.

Locke hesitated, but before he could speak anything, points of light began to converge in midair, making Tia visible.

"So, Hanna, this is Tia! She is.. She is a dragon fairy spirit..." Locke introduced the fairy to Hanna, everything still seemed unreal.

"Eeer...Nice to meet you?" Tia could only think of saying that, neither she nor Locke had imagined that the situation would take that path.

"Hi Tia! I knew you would be beautiful! I was waiting for the chance to meet you, we are going to be best friends!"

Locke returned holding hands with Hanna, he had explained everything about himself, his history, his past, his parents and the possible things he was going to have to do, Hanna listened to everything with a compassionate face, she hugged Locke when he explained about his mother's death, she comforted him when he told her about his curse, she showed sympathy when she heard about his lonely childhood and she even thanked him when he explained about the gang he destroyed.

"So are you a dragon? Do you breathe fire?" Hanna asked in a playful tone.

"More or less..." he made a small black flame in the palm of his hand.

"This is so cool! And it's black! Black is my favorite color!" Hanna laughed and clapped like a child on a magic show. "What else can you do?"

Locke showed some of his other skills, his eyes shone in golden amber, which Hanna thought was beautiful, he showed her the shadows and the camouflage, and Tia showed her the power of creation, creating a ring for her to always remember that night.

When they are over, they were more united than ever.

Together they went up to the bedroom, together they lay in bed, together they loved each other all night.

When the next day approached to noon, Locke woke up with a silly and satisfied smile on his face, he turned to Hanna who was sleeping naked beside him and kissed her forehead, he got up and went to take a shower, the first person he saw was Tia, who had a mean smile. She popped a confetti launcher. "Congratulations! You have become a Man!"

"How much... how much did you watch?" Locke asked a little embarrassed.

The fairy's smile only increased.

"The whole thing then... I'm going to take a shower..." Locke went to the shower, it was better not to even think about what the fairy was doing while watching, he took his shower and went back to the bedroom, and started to get dressed.

Hanna started to wake up, lifting her torso, exposing her beautful white breasts.

"What time is it?" Hanna asked.

"Shortly after noon" Tia replied "You two had fun late, everyone else went out to the beach."

Locke went back to bed and kissed Hanna. "I'm going to make something for us to eat" he left, leaving the fairy and the girl alone.

"I raised that boy!" Tia pointed a finger at Locke as she turned to speak to Hanna with an overly proud face.

Locke decided to prepare a simple snack, it was almost lunchtime and he didn't want to do anything too heavy, he opened the fridge, it was full of fresh ingredients, all the good things, Locke even wondered why the others decided to order dinner the previous night.

Locke set up a bowl with some fruits, he mixed some natural yogurt with maple syrup and avocado, o the top he put blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, peach slices, kiwi slices and a coconut flakes, to drink he made some simple cherry smoothies, He went back to the room with the tray in his hands, Hanna was leaving the bathroom, the towel was stuck over her breasts, wrapping around her body, her skin was wet and her hair is dripping, Locke put the tray on the bed and Tia started to help herself.

Hanna removed the towel and started to dry her hair, her entire curvaceous body being exposed, her white skin contrasting with her black hair, her firm breasts of pure white color and the nipples of a very light pink, her full hips and her round ass, her perfect thighs and her 'little flower' with no hairs, the scene made Locke start to breathe faster, his 'soldier' awake to battle, he went to the girl and kissed her, sliding his hands over the girl's body. "Locke, Tia is watching!"

"Do not worry about me!" Tia spoke "I was watching it last night too!" she gave a thumbs-up. "Just go ahed!"

Locke was kissing Hanna's neck now, her skin was so warm and soft, it drove him crazy.

"Locke..." Hanna groaned "I want it too, but... I'm still sore..." she said quietly.

Locke remembered the night before, the frenzy of kisses and caresses, the clothes that were removed and their bodies touching, he remembered the red flower that bloomed on the bed.

Hanna, like Locke, was a virgin, and that's was her first time, although quite expected, also caused her an amount of pain, Locke then started to take it easy, in a rhythm that was comfortable for the girl, slowly at first until her pain subsided, giving space only for pleasure, at which point the pace began to increase, driving the girl crazy.

Locke did his best that night, he wanted Hanna to like it as much as he did, but he also got out of control a bit, going until the girl almost passed out from exhaustion, a thousand points of stamina was not something to underestimate.

Locke calmed down, he loved this girl too much to cause her any harm, he kissed her mouth lightly and waited for her to dress, Hanna wore a black bikini with a metal ring in the shape of a star holding the cups and the sides of the bottom, she wrapped a black sarong around her waist and sat on the bed, Tia had eaten almost half of the breakfast bowl, Hanna grabbed a strawberry and ate it, her movements were simple, but to Locke they looked full of eroticism.

"If you continue like this our boy will attack you" Tia scoffed, with a flushed face. 'Maybe I'm going to attack her myself if she continues...' she sent the mental message to Locke.

Hanna looked at Locke and showed her tongue, in a mischievous way.

Locke couldn't help himself anymore.

Aliyah and the girls returned shortly after two, they were waiting for Locke and Hanna on the beach all morning, finally seeing that the two did not show up, they decided to stop by the house to find them.

They thought the two were still asleep, after all, almost everyone had heard that they had been 'awake' until late, the two hadn't been very quiet.

When Aliyah entered the house she went straight to the Hanna's bedroom, ready to wake up the couple of lovebirds, but to her surprise the closer she got the more she heard a noise, the same noise she heard for the first time the night before, a noise that she considered having heard more times than she wished to hear in her entire life, her sister's moans.

"My God, are they doing this again?" Brianna commented with a flushed face, she had accompanied Aliyah, wanting to see what Hanna would look like when she was woken up by her friends. "They stayed on this until 4 am!"

"I don't believe! It was really true!" Whitney commented, she had arrived early in the morning and found the girls, Brianna and Aliyah had told the gossip about Hanna and Locke, but she had not believed it, Hanna's moans ended all her doubts.

Aliyah was paralyzed in front of the door, she didn't know what to do, she used to be the one on the other side of the door, she didn't know whether to knock, ignore and leave or…throw a bucket of ice water? In the end she decided to knock.

The moans stopped then, she heard the sound of fabric being dressed, then Hanna opened the door a little, enough for the girls to see her face slightly flushed and sweaty. "Aly! What's it?" she smiled sheepishly.

"...We came to ask if you two want to have lunch with us?" Aliyah commented.

"Of course! Of course! We're going! We're just... just going to take a quick shower! " Hanna replied.

"Hey girls, how is it going" Locke appeared behind Hanna, shirtless, his complexion wet with sweat, he had a gentle smile on his face and wrapped his arms around Hanna, making the girl even more flushed and with a face as red as a tomato.

"... Hi Locke, I'm inviting you and Hanna to lunch with us, the boys are waiting outside" Aliyah asked.

"Sure, we'll both be ready in a second" Locke disappeared behind Hanna, Hanna smiled and closed the door.

The girls returned to the lobby while they waited.

"Wow, they really have reached that point!" Whitney commented, since she knew Hanna she always found her friend more reserved, she never imagined that she would give herself up to that extent. "She must really like him."

"She is very lucky!" Brianna commented. "Did you see those muscles?"
