The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

“Thanks Gram.” Being with Gram made me forget about everything that troubled me.

We were hiking and it was nice until Gram teleported us to the wrong trail. “We’re going to have to figure another way down. I don’t have enough energy to teleport again.” We started walking down a trail, but it was a dead end. We were at a cliff with no other way to go. “Any ideas?”

I nodded. “One… sometimes you have to just go for it.”

She scrunched her eyebrows. “Wait what are you-“

I jumped mid-sentence, so I didn’t hear the rest of what she said. I tried shifting into my dragon form as hard I could. I was falling possibly to my death, but I kept trying. I thought of My Dad and my Mom. I thought of when my Dad and brothers would shift. I tried to picture myself shifting then I thought of Arma, Stewart and even Sadia. These were the people I care about from the hidden world. Lastly I thought of Lexus and my love for him even though he broke my heart.

I opened my eyes, and I was flying, I wasn’t in my dragon form, but I was halfway. I understood what Lexus meant about it being uncomfortable. It felt incomplete. Flying wasn’t the right word to use I was frantically flapping my wings and moving kind of uncontrollably. I flew the best I could back up to Gram and picked her up. I moved her onto the right trail and landed next her. I shifted the rest of the way to my human form. “I can’t believe I just did that. I think I can shift all the way if I just tr-“ I froze when I sensed Lexus’ scent. “Gram Lexus is here but I don’t want to see him, I don’t know what I would say or do. What if he tries to take me back to the castle? I’m not ready to leave yet.” Gran held onto my shoulders and chanted. I didn’t know what I’d do if he found me, a part of me wanted him to.

She stopped when I said he was gone. “The spell made it so he couldn’t hear, smell, sense, or see you.” She started walking. “No one will be able to find you Aqua. There’s a protection spell on my house, no spell will be able to track you and I’ll do whatever else I need to for you to be safe.”

Another week passed. The holder nightmares had stopped. “You can use your abilities now but don’t overdo it. Let’s see if you have any side effects this time.”

I closed my eyes and looked around the forest. There was no blood or pain. “There’s guards from the castle here Gram. Fuck my father and brother are with them. They’re coming this way.” I freaked out.

Gram walked to her chest where she keeps her most valuable enchanted items. She put a necklace around my neck. “Stay put.” She walked to the door when there was a knock and answered it.
