The sound of a dragon's cry made her glance behind her at the stables where the her eagle and Luke's dragon were supposed to be sleeping. She got up, stretching her long pale legs as she did, and trudged slowly over to the hidden stables. She froze when she saw the open doors. She could hear whispered words but could hardly make out what the words were except for the louder, "Shut up!!"
She hid just outside the doors, peeking around the corner to see if she could catch a glimpse of the whisper person. She spotted a rather large dragon that didn't look like the young dragon Ilia and Keagen had brought back with them and a man who was flicking it's nose.
"If you don't shut up we'll get caught, Dusk." The man hissed, his voice familar. The man paused before he asked, "What do you mean 'too late'?" Another pause. "s**t!!"
Holly reached for the gun she kept in her pack when she realized that she'd left her bag by the cliff. Aww damnit!! She thought, looking around frantically for another weapon. When she spotted a tree branch, she picked it up, making barely any noise, and turned back around. Her heart almost leapt out of her chest when she did, the man standing right in front of her.
"That's not a good idea." He growled, his voice more recognizable up close.
"H-Holden?" Holly murmured, dropping the stick on Holden's foot.
"Ouch!! Damnit! Watch where you drop that thing!" Holden yelped, jumping on one foot for a moment until Holly grabbed his arm to hold him up.
"Why are you here?" Holly asked, kicking the branch away from them.
"I followed Ilia and Keagen. I just needed to wait until night to get Dusk into the stables." Holden muttered, rubbing his foot gently until it felt better.
Holly looked at him with wonder and rolled her eyes, letting go of him and walking towards the entrance to her hide away. Holden followed quickly.
"Everyone's inside, just find a place to sleep for the night. Then you do whatever in the morning." She muttered, pushing him inside.
"But I found out something important." Holden protested, holding the door open so she couldn't close it.
"It can wait."
"But-"
"It can wait. Go to sleep."
Holden watched as Holly trudged back to the cliff. He sighed and closed the door, walking in and laying down on the couch, immediately falling asleep.
