CHAPTER EIGHT

The next day I awoke to Alexis screaming dramatically.

"Get it out, get it out, get. it. OUT!" she bellowed.

I stretched my aching limbs and yawned, mentally preparing myself for the days first drama.

"What all the fuss all about?" I called groggily as I made my way over to the bathroom realizing that everyone else was still sleeping.

*BANG*

I rubbed my eyes and opened the bathroom door to see water all over the floor, I approached Alexis' shower and popped my head around the corner to see her sprawled out on the showers floor, water soaking her baby pink, sleepwear. 

"What the-" I began before I saw Obsidian perched on the shower head, dipping his black shiny scales into the water. 

"Control your beast" groaned Alexis making an attempt to get to her feet.

I held back a laugh as she slipped back down into the pool of water.

"It's not funny" she whined pushing her stringy, wet hair out of her face. 

I helped her to her feet and handed her a towel. 

"Sorry" I apologized watching her shoot glares at the baby dragon.

"It's him who should be apologizing, can't a girl take a normal morning shower around here?" she complained.

As if on cue, Obsidian flew over and licked her across her already soaked face. 

"Now I have dragon slobber all over me? Great," she said letting a small laugh escape as she rubbed her face with the towel. 

"Obsidian, come here" I called. 

He hovered in front of me, his deep purple eyes filled with an apologetic look before he took his usual place on my shoulders, he had only been gone a day and was already much heavier. 

"What are you doing here so early anyway? and how did you get in?" I asked quietly.

He raised his head and images of him being alone and then his journey through the window came flooding through my mind. 

I nodded my head and looked at Alexis who was drying her hair with the towel I gave her.

"I better go up to the nursery to let Kai know that he's with me" I explained.

"Okay, see you at break?" she asked back to her usually cheery self.

"Yeah" I replied with a warm smile.

I took the little dragon off my shoulders and placed him on my bed. 

"Stay here, I need to get ready," I said sternly.

He curled up into a small ball and did as I said.

Returning to the bathroom I quickly washed my face, braided back my hair and dressed in my combat uniform. 

Satisfied with my look, I called Obsidian back to my shoulders and pulled on my boots.

"Chase?" I called through the link.

"Mmhm," he hummed.

"Don't bother waiting for me, ill meet you in lessons" I said.

"Where are you going? can I come?" he said suddenly awake.

"To the nursery to let Kai know that Obsidian is ok, and if you must" I explained allowing my amusement to travel through the link.

"ooooh. Do you think Cobalt has hatched?" He shouted not bothering to contain his excitement.
