The Wolf and The Dragon (Book 1)

Nightmares and Visions

I got up removing my wet t-shirt and lay back on the opposite side of the bed, where was dry. I Close my eyes again force myself back to sleep, and the next thing I remember was the sweet smell of Zane's pancakes, gosh I am hungry! I got up, remove all my bedclothes, grab my t-shirt from the floor, and walk towards the laundry.

I load the washer machine, looking for a clock to see what time it was. It was very bright outside and I guessed it was later than I first thought...

I heard Kay's voice shouting in the corridor:

-"get up sleepy-beauty! - it is almost 11 o'clock and you haven't even started training yet!"

I walked towards the kitchen to find everyone with a mouthful of Zane's pancakes.

-"Oh please, leave some for me" - I beg, trying to remember when was the last time we all sit together to eat.

Pixal handle me a plate with a stack of 10 or 12 pancakes full of syrup in the top, I Salivate not believing my eyes.

- "I wouldn't let you go without." she said giggling.

I grab my plate and squeezed myself right in between Kay and Nya. I Couldn't wait to tease him with my samurai X plaster, but before I Can say anything, Kai starts to talk.

-"split out, what has happened yesterday in the hospital? - we all want to know" - he tries to be polite, but that is Kay, and politeness is not his strength.

-"not much" - I paused, and repeated once again the world's I Heard from doctor Okami -"She survived, so far".

-"but what did the doctor say?" he insisted.

-"that is exactly what the doctor said" - I Felt a bit at the edge as suddenly recall my nightmare

-"hey!! Is that Samurai X?" - Nya comes on my rescue, again! - pointing to the plaster in my bandage.

-"Oh Yes! And that has a very interesting story" - I start to tell them all about the plasters, Kay got furious and the rest wouldn't stop laughing at him.

He grabs my neck into an arm hook as if he was about to kill me for that, only to whisper close to my ears, making sounds like a threat to the others to see:

-"anything to see you happy again little Bro" - forcing his fist over my head

-"I know! Thank you!" - I said so only he can hear

-"Oh come on! - let's go back training" - Kai shouts, bossy.

-"hey since when you tell us what to do?" - Jay protests

-"Since our little buddy here, needs some time to put himself together" - Kai replied

-"guys, I Am good!" - I Shout at them while helping Cole cleaning up the plates.

- "nonsense!" - sensei Wu entered the room and over talk everybody else - "everybody, but Nya, follows Kai, and go back to your training, Nya you need to workout to heal your shoulder, Lloyd you come to see me once you finish with the dishes, and please get yourself dressed" - he finishes his sentence point out I was still only in my pants.

-"yes sensei" - we all said in unison

Everybody walks away, but Nya, she comes close to me and asked me.

-"do you want to talk about?"

-"maybe later" - I shook my head, I'm really not ready to talk about, just yet.

-"OK! I Will be waiting!" - she gives a kiss and walkway.
