Sleepwalking

She hated this world, how many scum bags there were around every corner. This whole world people call Earth was filled with rats for people. Well, in her eyes. Orna has never come out about her 'true self', except to Cassie. She trusted Cassie. Treating the lavender/pink haired lady like her sister she never had, Orna would risk an arm and a leg for her. Why? There was no reason. Dragons are destined to protect over someone, and that someone for her was Cassie. Yes, underneath her pale skin were scales of a dragon. She tried to live her normal every day life, without being disgusted by humans. Only some of them were so vile it made her cringe. The types that abuse their power over people, the type that think they are the best... And those who use their supernatural abilities for bad things. Of course, Cassie never made her cringe. The one thing that brought a smile to her face? Cassie.



Stretching his muscular tattooed arms over his head, he rubbed the back of his neck looking at his friend Zacky and Brian. "So... You think there is a dragon? Is that even possible?" Despite being a werewolf, along with his friends... He had never heard about a dragon. "Isn't it right if there is a dragon here, it must be looking after someone... Right? Maybe its someone important." He decided, pulling a sleeveless shirt over his head, a sigh passing his lips. "Right, I'm assigning myself. Zack, you are coming with me. We've gotta find this person."

Cassie got out of bed and went to the bathroom, brushing her teeth and washing her face before she made her way into the kitchen to brew some coffee and make breakfast. She decided to make pancakes and sausage because she'd been craving the two for a long time now. She turned the coffee maker on and then turned the stove on, grabbing a pan and putting some butter in the bottom of it. Her life was pretty average. Everything was okay, and she really had nothing to complain about. Well, except maybe the fact that she couldn't find a man to save her life. At least she had Orna. Orna was her best friend, and she didn't know what she'd do without her. After making breakfast, she made the plates. "Orna!" she called out. "Breakfast!"


Zacky chuckled to himself when Brian began to whine about how he wanted to go with them, but Matt had already made up his mind, and he wasn't going to change it. He stood up and waited for Matt, following him out the door. "How'll we know where they are?" he asked. "We don't even know where to begin." Maybe if they could pick up a scent and follow it, it would be easier to find the dragon, but they still didn't know where it had been. Maybe Matt had a plan. He wasn't sure, but he could try to contribute if he was asked.

Orna was cut from her crude thoughts, at the sound of Cassie calling her name. Smiling ever so slightly, she placed her hairbrush on the side of the cabinet before walking down the stairs to the sensory overload that was Cassie's delightful breakfast. It smelt and looked amazing, and she knew it would taste good. It took Orna a long time to get used to human food. Sitting down at the table, she grinned at the sight of pancakes and sausages. "Very... Peculiar combination, but none the less, I'm happy to eat it." Orna was quite posh, by the way she spoke and the way she acted. Of course, the thoughts inside her head of hatred and anger were far from posh.


"Every dragon has the same scent. It is stronger than humans, and I know for a fact when we get a wiff of it we will know it... I'm sure one of our brothers could allocate an area where we should look." At those words, Matt fished his mobile out of his pocket and dialed a number. "Hello, Jason. Heard of any dragons around?.... Hrm, looks like luck is on our side.... Its near where our base is allocated?... Cool, thanks Hook." Placing his phone on the table, Matt simply grinned a dimpled grin. "Well, what were the chances? Jason Hook said that he last sniffed a peculiar scent around here, like in the next few blocks."

@ te amo.

Cassie rolled her eyes playfully at her. "You think everything is weird," she said, laughing softly. She sat down to the table and took a sip of her orange juice before she started cutting into her sausage. She loved having Orna around because she was always so funny about things, like she'd come from a different planet or something. It was so strange to her, but she found it funny and kind of charming at the same time.


Zacky smiled and nodded his head. "Well that's great," he said. "If we're prepared, then we should go looking. It shouldn't take too long to find them, right?" He loved going on missions with Matt, because the guy was a daredevil at heart, and it always surprised him some of the things he would do. There was never a dull moment in the Sevenfold household. He was glad to be a part of their clan. Although he was a bit new, the guys had taken him under their wing and had provided him a great new home.

Although Orna trusted Cassie with her life, she couldn't bring herself to tell Cassie about her true self. Maybe it was the fear of losing her friend, or maybe it was the fear that Cassie would freak out. Orna smiled lightly, eating her pancakes and sausages. "So... What do you think about dragons?" Orna blurted out, looking at Cassie. "Say if you had a very unique pet dragon, a minuscule one and a very friendly one, what would you do?" Orna tried to give Cassie subtle hints about her dragon nature, but explaining to her that she was made to protect Cassie was a whole other matter.



As dimpled appeared on his features from his grin, he looked over at Gates. "Hey, make sure shortie doesn't get into trouble." He always referred to Johnny, a member of their household, as shortie because.. He was tiny. Shaking his head amused at the thought, he looked at Zacky. "Ready? If we are right, they should either be asleep or waking up. Dragons can't think straight when they are tired or hungry."

@ te amo.

Cassie thought about it for a minute. She'd always kind of liked dragons, especially after she got into watching Game of Thrones. She took a bite of a pancake before she looked up at Orna. "I think they're awesome," she said. "A pet dragon, though? As long as it was trained, I guess. I could totally work with that. I wouldn't even know where to begin on naming it, though. Oh, maybe I would name it Phoenix or something. That would be cool." She bit her lip to stop herself from continuing to ramble and let out a nervous chuckle as she looked back at Orna. "What about you? What brought this up?"


Zacky nodded his head, a smile forming on his face. Catching a dragon would be probably one of the best things ever for him. He'd never done anything of the sort and if he and Matt managed to do that, it would just make his entire life existence worth living for. Worth doing what he was doing. "Yeah," he said. "I'm as ready as I'll ever be." He rubbed his hands together and then brushed them off on his jeans as he walked to the door to slide on his shoes. He leaned over and tied them quickly, making sure the knots were tight before he walked outside.
