13 Chapter 12: Suspicious...

"Wait... What is happening? Why the both of you were fighting with each other?" Daisy ask.

Rakesh sighed and said, "It's not your business. Anyway, I'm sorry of how Reihta treated you Rachel. She was just mad."

"But... Why would she be mad at me?" Rachel said between her cough.

Rakesh look at her straight to her eyes and sighed. "I can't tell you why. Also there's no proof if I am telling the truth. She was just mad at me, That is all. This is just between my sister and me." Rakesh said.

"I'll just follow her and a minute we will leave. I'm sorry if we can't bring you all in our base. It would be in danger for all of you to stay there" Rakesh said.

"It's alright, we also sorry. I think it was because of us why she gets mad at you" Louis said.

"Hey, say something..." Stacey said to Dennis who is still mad at what happen, she push him to make Dennis speak.

"Yeah, I'm also sorry for what I did." Dennis said.

"It's nothing, she was really mad at me in the first place before you did that... Anyway I have to go" Rakesh said and look at Rachel. "I'll be back later so we could get there later to see your family" Rakesh said and transformed into dragon and left them.

Rachel still don't know what happen but she think it was something that she is also part of this.

**********************************************

Reihta went down in the hills and look elsewhere the sun was setting down. She knew that she overreacted too much. She sighed and wiped her tears when Rakesh arrived to where she is.

Rakesh sits next to her and look also at the sun who is almost setting down. A minute passed when Rakesh spoke. "You know, someday you can be a good leader in our kind."

"Our parent's probably proud to have you" He added but still looking at the sunset. Reihta was still sniffing when she spoke. "Yeah, probably. But I'm sure I'm too much strict when I became leader" Then they both laughed.

"I'm sorry, I overreacted. And I also hurt Rachel when my anger burst out." Reihta said.

"It's okay, I understand. You should apologize to her not to me, since I know what I did was wrong. And I should put myself into it before knowing these humans." Rakesh said, but Reihta shrug her head. "No, you are right anyway... We need them for us to help us find a safer place where our comrades live peacefully without worrying their tomorrow. And who knows maybe they were our last hope to find a better place for us to live" Reihta said. Rakesh couldn't help but to hug his sister.

"You are really grown up now Reihta, I'm so proud to be your brother" Rakesh said. Reihta's hug tightens when she heard what her brother tell her. This is the first time that her brother told that to her. She was glad that she never give up to find him.

"Now, let's go back and get Rachel so we could get back to our comrades. Also we cannot wait too much longer Freckles or else he might end up eating Rachel's family" Rakesh said made both of them laugh.

(On the other hand, Freckles suddenly sneeze... That curious him thinking that he might get sick or something.)

*******************************************************

Rakesh and Reihta went back to where Rachel and her friends are who is waiting for them. When Reihta transform into human she approached Rachel and apologized. "Hey, umm... I'm sorry for what I did, I just frustrated that time" Reihta said.

"Oh, it's okay... I understand." Rachel said. Reihta smile at her and Rachel also did the same when Dennis approached them.

"Hey, uh... Sorry if I did something horrible at you causing you to get frustrated" Dennis said scratching the back of his head.

"Nah, you did nothing. Actually I wasn't mad because of you. I was really frustrated that time. And I'm so sorry if I was so stubborn the way I treated you" Reihta said.

But Dennis wave his hand and trying to apologize to her but Reihta still apologizing to each other.

Rakesh can't help but to notice how this Dennis act to his sister, he knows that they can't fall in love to a human or else their comrades might know about this and betrayed them.

Rachel approach Rakesh and talked to him.

"Hey, uh thanks for stopping your sister a while ago. I really appreciate it" Rachel said while holding her both hands tight together.

"I just did what I have to do. Also you already thank me for that... Don't worry about it" Rakesh said still looking at his sister and Dennis laughing to each other.

"Rakesh?" Rachel ask and look at him. But Rakesh still glued to his sister, Rachel look to where direction at Rakesh looking and she notice that her friend and Rakesh sister was getting to know each other. She smiled and look at Rakesh who's face was now furious. Rachel couldn't help but to be confuse why would Rakesh look at them furiously?

"Rakesh? What's wrong?" Rachel ask, trying to get his attention which is happen.

"What?!" Rakesh said.

"Umm, why you're looking at your sister and Dennis with furious look? I mean, they were just laughing?" Rachel ask.

"Forget it, we will leave now." Rakesh said and transformed into dragon. Rachel sighed and look at her friends.

Reihta notice that her brother transformed and she decided to bade farewell to Dennis who is now looking gloom that they will be leaving now.

"Can we will see each other again? I mean, after Rachel saw her family will you three comeback here again?" Dennis ask stopping Reihta to transformed.

"I don't know? Maybe? I still don't have a clue we were searching for a place to live so maybe we will comeback, but only Rakesh, Rachel, and I will be travelling although for sure our comrades will be with us that time." Reihta said.

"Can I be with you? I mean, can we just join your comrades?" Dennis ask, that shocked Reihta. But she stay calmed and said, "No, you can't... It's too dangerous for all of you to join us our journey. But we will think about it before we came back here. I promise we will tell you our answers. But right now, don't forget about us okay?" Reihta said, Dennis nodded.

Later on, Reihta transformed into dragon and look at his for the last time. Also Dennis did the same. But she decided to fly away and lead to their base.

Rachel before ride Rakesh she bade farewell to her friends and said, "I'll be back. I promise... For sure that time I'm with my family now. Let's see each other again."

"Okay, ride safely." Louis said.

"Yeah, and also if you need help you can count on us" Daisy said.

"She's right, don't forget about us." Dennis said. Rachel nodded.

"Also if you need map to go adventure, if only I could join your journey I am glad to help you but since it's not allowed when you came back, I will give you maps and also compass or anything needs for your journey. You can count on me, and don't worry about our school... We'll take care of that." Stacey said.

"Thank you all so much!" Rachel said and they group themselves and formed a hug.

Finally Rachel decided to ride Rakesh and they're now flying away from her friends.

***********************************************

On the other hand, when Rachel, Rakesh, and Reihta left, Rachel's friends decided to go home...

"Well, see you all tomorrow, it will be a very busy day for us." Stacey said.

"Busy? How can you say that all of us will be busy tomorrow? It's still our school's anniversary so for sure there were no classes till tomorrow." Louis said.

"Are you nuts? Even if there were no classes we have duty to our school's booth." Stacey said.

"Hey you Dennis say something?" Louis said but Dennis was still looking at the sky where the three fly away.

"Hello????" Louis added waving his hand in front of Dennis who is now surprised.

"Hey, watch it!" Dennis said, when the three of them laughed at him.

"What's so funny?!" Dennis asked them.

"Well you seems to be occupied when they left. Don't tell me you fall in love with this dragon?" Louis said teasing him.

"Of course not!" Dennis said who is now obviously blushing.

"Heh, blushing all the way, and denying the fact???" Stacey said teasing him more.

"Hey, I just want to be her friend that's all. nothing seriously between us alright?" Dennis said but after he said that, there's a truck and car compartment went ahead of them making the two boys let the two girls went behind their backs.

All the people who went there was a researcher and a scientist. And also George was with them. Dennis and the others notice that George was Rachel's friend were also here but why they were armed.

"W-what's happening here George?" Louis ask.

"Have you seen Rachel? We need her" George said.

All of them look at each other but Dennis is the one who spoke. "She already left, what do you need to her?" He ask. "It's none of your business, but anyway once Rachel come back tell her to contact me immediately." George said and ride the truck with the armed forces with him.

Rachel's friends felt unease with George presence it was like he was hiding something from them also why would George brought huge armed forces? They were still clueless but the only one thing they were sure of was Rachel should not let meet George.
