~2009 Sept. 30~
Ryan Alexandria was walking through the rainy streets of Oregon without an umbrella people looked at him as if he were mad but to him he felt as though they were the ones with a problem he wasn't afraid to get wet . every body acted as is if a little water would hurt them or ruin their hair.
he ignored some of the looks from the older adults and smiled at the gaping teens he passed. Ryan loved being out in the rain and loved it even more so when he was by his self in the back woods of his home but his mom had asked him to go to the city and pick up a few thing's.
he'd grudgingly said yes and had driven the car to the city and was now walking up and down the paved streets of the shopping center getting soaked too the bone in his Blood On The Dancer Floor t-shirt.
his black skinny jean's were soaked too his neon blue converse shoes were completely washed out and his socks made a splosh splash sound every time he took a step in them. his blond white hair was plastered to hid fore head and his beanie seemed to dissolve into his scalp.
But still Ryan was smiling with every wet step he took. Ryan felt like he was on top of the world he entered the bakery and stopped it was freezing in here and he wished he was back home were he could strip off his wet cloths and dry off then lay down in his warm bed. he looked around and saw Fred the baker at the front of the store he walked over and asked if his mom's order was ready yet and asked him to place an extra wrap of plastic over since he'd walked here.
Fred smilesd at the sopping wet mess and went to the back to get his mom's order. "thanks Fred", Ryan said putting the ten on the counter and turning to walk out with the large cake.
"your welcome Ryan and next time try using an umbrella they help!", he called as Ryan walked out the Bakery. Ryan checked his mom's list to see if he'd gotten every thing on the dame thing. smiling when he saw that the Bakery was his last stop he turned on his heel and headed toward his car all the way at the end of the of the city limits.
Zanenickolis stirred from his slumber his ice green eyes blinking open as he yawned his tail uncurled from his body his wing's fanned out as he stretched his great body. when he turned into his human form he found strange clothes laying beside him. odd he thought have the humans come up with a new fashion?
"a new fashion, new transportation,new homes new everything and i must say all of it is just breath taking", Zanenickolis turned around and saw Barley standing in front of him wearing a very skin tight mini skirt and a black halter top with knee high combat boots.
Zanenickolis nearly lost his voice he'd known witch's could be stunning but now Barley seemed to be breath taking. "by gods woman have you no modesty?",Zanenickolis asked looking at her with unashamed eyes.
"of course i do Zanenickolis but in this world this is what they consider modest, thought not every one agrees with it i like it the twenty first century is full of some many strange and unique things", she said with awe in her voice.
"then perhaps you should wake me up in a few more years", he said laying his naked body down on the ground and began to shift form.
"ah but then you wouldn't be able to find you mate then because he'd be dead or to old then"
Zanenickolis stopped mid transformation and stared at the witch. had she just said what he'd thought she'd said his mate was hear in this time and world and it was a male? he nearly wanted to laugh as much as he wanted to roast her.
"witch what are you talking about?,"he snorted steam rose from his nostrils "i have no interest in men"
Barley laughed, "ah dragon that's why he's nt a man he's a boy only sixteen"
"there is no difference i won't have him"
"at least look at him i'd hate for you to never even look upon your mate"
"why would you care the last we spoke you trapped me in a cave for nearly an eon"
"i did that only to help you find your mate you arrogant black heart!!!",she shouted her voice shaking the cave it's self.
Zanenickolis glared at her "that was a long time ago woman and you know as well as i that time, has passed"
"only if you let it my friend i promise if you just look at him you'll see that i am right and once you do i'll let you be"
he sighed he never really expected to see Barley again after so many years but then again he hadn't ever expected her to betray him either.
"very well then witch i'll look at him for your benefit where is he?"
"first your going to wanna put some clothes on cause you will be calling him here", she said giggling. he looked down and stared at his naked form he felt no need to dress. in times passed his brothers and sisters had called to their mates naked or not and there had been no problem then....
but this was not his time anymore and perhaps if his mate was indeed a boy of this time and place then maybe he should dress just in case. Zanenickolis stabbed his leg's into the black leather jean's and pulled his white cotton t-shirt over his head.
when Barley gestured to the coat he sighed and pulled it on as well though the clothes were few he felt warmer already so the humans have come up with a new fashion.
"great goddess",Barley breathed, "if that boy weren't your mate i'd take you for myself you've become quite a man"
"and your not a bad pick your self witch but you brought me hear so it's to late for that now show me my mate"
"as you wish but you needn't worry love he'll be here within the hour just wait it won't kill you after all"
Ryan drove up into the drive way and hoped back out of the car. his clothes were still wet and so was the car seat. he opened the door home and looked up to see his mother standing their with her hands placed on her hips. here we go Ryan thought his mother always took other peoples side and never understood why he did the thing's he did.
but then again she never tried, "were in sam hill have you been Ryan? and why in lords name are you wetter than a sea turtle in the sea?", Ryan hated when his mom did that she always converted back to her country roots when she got mad even over the smallest thing's. his father had always thought it was funny. two years ago a business trip in Africa had gone bad and his dad had ended up food for the cannibals.
thing's had only gotten worse after that not financially of course his father had left them a six million dollar account and the life insurance had been great to. no the only thing that was wrong now was the guys his mom dated and the fact that they weren't close anymore.
"jeez mom it's not like i got your stuff wet here", ha said handing her the bags and Stormed past her toward his room.
"this is why Jake is so worried about you!",she screamed at him, Ryan rolled his eyes his mo's current boyfriend wasn't really worried about him just worried that Ryan would tell his mom that her -oh-so-perfect-boyfriend had tried to touch him.
Ryan had once almost told her but stopped after seeing how happier his mother was with him so he'd kept it to himself. Ryan went up to his room slammed his door and sat on the floor. his mind felt scattered and he could only think of one place he could really think clearly......
the woods. Ryan jumped from the floor and dashed down the steps toward the door he felt his mother watching him and didn't care when she yelled for him to at least change his clothes. he stepped back out the door and ran behind the house into the thick foliage that was basically the back yard.
Zanenickolis nearly fell asleep against the cave wall. his eyes flew open when a scent whipped past his nose. he sat up immediately looking for its source. yet all he found was a smiling Barley and the scent didn't come from her.
"ahh so your mate nears",she said rising up from her place on the ground. Zanenickolis stood as well and sniffed the air again the scent was most definitely not coming from Barley. Zanenickolis eyed the entrance of thecavewaitingfor the face of hi long awaited mate to at least look in the direction of the cave's mouth.
he sniffed the air again the scent was stronger this time his mate was closer now just when he nearly started to call out to her Barley put a hand up to silenece him. "wait just a bit more dragon"
he restrained from strangling the medlsome witch and stared out the entrance when a small youth of fifthteen surely no more than sixteen passed by the cave's mouth pausing to look into it before taking a few steps inside the entrance. Zanenickolis felt his body grow riged his rod grew hard his breath's grew labored and his heart felt as if the ice that had encased it for decades just fell after seeing his mate.
"seems you were right Barley he was worth it",he said trying to steady his breathing,"i need to call him to me"
"his names Ryan just let him get in a little more and love you may want to cover your um problem least you scare him away",she repiled her lips twiching with a hint of a smile.
