her mother’s image fade. Not real, her dragon was correct. Whoa, her dragon?

Chapter Five
     
     
    The walk off her parents’ land was slow going. She wanted to run but Syn was taking his time practically examining every step before he moved as if he were afraid to step in the wrong place.
    A slow tear tracked down her face as she thought of her mother and the trick she almost fell for.
    “Alexa! I’ve been looking all over for you.” Nadia called out to her wearing a familiar friendly smile.
    “Nadia, get off my parents’ land. I’ll meet you at the road.”
    “Why? Stop moving for a minute I want to talk to you.”
    Alexa stopped; she couldn’t leave her friend stranded. What if the demon killed Nadia because he couldn’t get to her? Syn kept walking not knowing her intention to stop.
    “Come here, Alexa.”
    The hair on the back of her neck rose. Why was Nadia standing so far away? Syn had finally stopped, noticing she wasn’t with him. She looked around to see she was right at the edge of his dragon’s shadow. She tried to take a few steps toward him only to find her feet stuck to the ground.
    She licked her lips and tried to move again.
    “Did you really think you could escape me?” The image was Nadia but the voice and the eyes were something truly evil.
    Mutufa had used the love for her friend against her. Now she would die and so would Syn. Raising her hand, she felt a barrier before her. It was cold to the touch. She could move, just not forward, and if she went backward she would leave the protective barrier Syn had placed her in. How would she get out of this?
    Images of her now defunct business flashed before her eyes. She had given up with barely a whimper, believing her people to be better off where they were. Images of the cruelty she suffered at school as Jeremy spread rumors about what happened that night of the formal swirled around her brain. She fought back, not that it did any good.
    In her life, it never seemed to matter what defense she mounted, she always fell. Her mom would say ‘Alexa, each failure makes you stronger.’ She never felt any stronger but now her life depended on winning and Syn’s life depended on it. She didn’t know exactly who Syn was, but her heart would break if he was no longer alive. She wouldn’t let that happen.
    Raising her head, she met Syn’s eyes. Her eyes locked with him asking him without words what to do. His eyes sparked. Power calling power as she felt her body heat. She was going to go super nova if she kept staring into his eyes. She felt her electric blue eyes spark, something she felt before but always hid from. The fear that she wasn’t human always scared her in the past.
    The power hummed through her body making its way to her eyes. Syn’s eyes shot a beam at the barrier she was behind lighting up his side in a myriad of colors. That beam called to her stroking a feeling hot and primitive inside of her. Her eyes shot out a beam hitting the barrier from her side. The power coming from her body rocked her making her want to drop from it. She held her ground knowing that to move meant certain death for her.
    Where was this power coming from? It was like Syn had ignited a small spark in her and now it was coming to her defense. It didn’t matter right now but later it would matter greatly.
    Her side of the barrier began to heat up as the power flowed from her through her eyes. The barrier began to waver, sparks of her power were beginning to break through the barrier, she could almost feel Syn’s power on the other side. The barrier went up in a shock of fireworks as her power entwined and melded with Syn’s. She felt it, a tie that went around her making her feel for a moment that she was one with him. She dropped her body unable to stand any longer. He caught her in his strong arms whispering soothing words into her ear.
    He carried her the rest of the way. Her body would need food to regenerate and sleep. He sighed when they crossed
