I Lost Them

Dylan POV

"Mom!" I screamed inside my head. 

It was happening again, except this time it was different. My parents were playing hide and seek with me, when a silhouette walked behind my dad and slit his throat. My dad held his throat as blood gushed out. I tried to scream but I couldn't make a second, my mom was unaware of what just happened and was still seeking for me. 

I tried to warn her, but I was paralyzed and couldn't utter a sound. The silhouette walked behind my mom and cut off her head. Her hand fell to the ground and rolled towards me. Her head stopped rolling and faced me, she looked at me and said "I love you son. Avenge us."

I woke up screaming and I looked around and realized it was just a dream. It was in the middle of the night and this was the third time I had the nightmare but nothing ever happened.

While I was calming myself down,my mom rushed in with a worried look.

"Mom, is everything alright?" I asked, I held her head to be sure it was intact.

"Shhhh.. You have to listen to me attentively, we have to go." She said as she hurriedly packed some clothes for me.

I had never seen my mom worried before, so I didn't question her further.

She rushed to where I stood and put her necklace on my neck. She started reciting a spell and soon I was lifted off the ground, with my eyes shining white, then black. I fell into a trance and so my mom merged her soul with mine.

After the ritual, I collapsed to the ground, a tattoo of the moon appeared on the back of my right hand and fire appeared on the back of my left hand. My mom staggered backwards, then she steadied herself. She gathered the little strength she had left and picked me off the floor while she used the other hand to hold my bag. She rushed to the back door and we were outside.

I looked around and saw my dad in his werewolf form, fighting some people.

They saw us and some rushed towards us, my mom used her magic to fight them off. I noticed that rather than fighting her, they aimed for me. 

That was when the realization hit me, they were after me and I wondered why.

My mom grew weaker and she called for my dad. My dad rushed towards her and started fighting the enemies while my mom moved forward.

But they were too much to handle and My mom had to move forward while my dad stayed back to fight the enemies. Since my dad was fighting off most of the enemies, my mom did not have to fight anyone until my dad's closest friend confronted her, his canines were elongated and his claws were sharp, ready to strike.

"The almighty goddess has fallen, you are weak now so we are on the same level." He laughed as he got ready to fight my mom.

Even though my mom was weak,he was no match to her and she soon blasted him out of her way and started running.

"Mom, who are they? Why is Ethan fighting you? Is this a game?" I asked, hoping for an answer.

"Enemies." Was the only word she said before she stopped running, she looked up to the sky and whistled.

I heard a roar in the sky and saw something flying. As it drew closer, I saw beautiful blue scales and the eyes were red. I gasped as it dawned on me that my mom had summoned a dragon and I was surprised because I had never seen a dragon before, but my mom always described what a dragon looked like. As the dragon drew closer, I was able to see what the dragon looked like, it had blue scales with red hair. Its eyes were bright red and It was beautiful. Once the dragon landed, I was placed on its back. My mom said something in a foreign tongue and the dragon bowed. 

She used her magic to cut my palm and cut the dragon's skin. She placed my palm on the dragon's cut and she started reciting her spells. I screamed as the dragon's blood fused with mine. 

The dragon roared and my eyes turned red as the magic flowed into me. A dragon tattoo appeared on my neck as soon as the spell was over. I was able to sense what the dragon was feeling and I could communicate with the dragon through our minds. 

My mom kissed me on my forehead and said "I will always be with you, my child. Look deep into your heart and I will answer you." Before she gave instructions to the dragon, I tried to listen but I could barely hear what they were saying.

My mother looked at me with a smile as the dragon began to flap its wings, she whispered, the wind took it to my ears and I heard, "I love you son. Avenge us." 

The dragon flew into the sky and I looked around to find my dad,

He was confronted by his closest friend, Ethan who my mom had blasted away earlier. The battle was fierce and bloody, and my dad was winning until someone blasted him with magic.

My dad fell to the ground, he looked at me and I saw the determination in his eyes to protect me. He pushed himself up but before he could stand up, I saw a werewolf bite down on my dad's neck and pulled out his throat.

My dad in his werewolf form fell to the ground and he died. My dad was killed before my eyes and it was in the hands of his closest friend.

My mom cried out as she watched her beloved fall to the ground. She knew she was next since the Alpha was dead. She looked at me one more time and smiled. She knew if she did not make this last decision, her son would be in danger. If they succeeded in killing her, she knew they would stop at nothing until I was dead. 

With the last strength in her, she unleashed her powers, I saw the ground shook and the enemies lifted into the air. Her eyes turned red and her mouth was moving. I saw someone blast my mom, her face was filled with pain and tears. She fell to her knees but didn't stop moving her lips, soon our home crumbled to the ground with everything inside. A blast came down from the heavens and everything around my mom perished. Her gaze never left mine until she was no more.

I was shocked when I saw my mom burnt into flames and turned into ashes before my eyes. I tried to scream, but I couldn't, tears flowed down my eyes as I tried to process what had happened.

The ride was silent, only my sobs were heard as the dragon continued to fly.

After what seems to be forever, We landed in a hidden house in the forest. As soon as my legs touched the ground, I collapsed. Before losing consciousness,my dragon turned into a handsome man in his twenties. I felt at peace as he gently carried me in his arms, and I slowly lost consciousness.
