Alex's P.O.V

Its been 3 weeks since I left everyone. I feel as though I have lifted a giant weight from off my shoulders. I still miss them, Raph especially, but I have to keep them and the world safe from me. I sat on a beside a gargoyle and stared at the turtles who were on the street below. I watched as they fought the Kraang. I noticed that Raph, and all of them fought fiercer. More violent. I knew Raph was really sad and emotional. What I wouldn't have given to run into his arms and tell him I was alright. that everything would be ok.

I wiped a tear from my from my eye as I watched him take out his anger and pain on the kraang droids. I felt it again and fell to my knees. "You cant keep me inside for much longer Alex." The dark voice said. "Get.Out.Of.My HEAD!!" I shouted. I could feel myself slipping into the grasp of the beast. I was losing. I pulled out my gun. "You cant......hurt anyone.......if 'we' are dead." The voice chuckled. "Well, we both know you wouldn't do that. Not to Raph." I slowly lowered the gun. "I would if it means saving his life." The voice got louder in my head making me drop my gun, and grab my head.

"Ha,ha,ha,ha. Ashtar, you let love ruin your balance. I am here to take all that balane and put it to good use." I fell to my knees. "N-no.......your pure.....evil!" Again the voice chuckled, sending chills down my spine. "You mean we are pure evil. Now that the amulet is off, the barrier is broken. We will destroy this city as we did the Dragon village." I started hyperventilating. "No-no! Kyle said its been like that for years!" "And how long do you think I've been around child?" With shaky hands, I lifted up the gun. "No,I wont let anyone get hurt again. Not after Jason....." I put the gun to my head and slowly pulled the trigger.

I heard the bang, but felt no pain. I opened my eyes, and saw a boy about my age kneeling in front of me. He had flowing sandy hair, attractive blue eyes, and.....wings? I stared up into those eyes I could never forget. "J-Jason?!" He smiled warmly. "Hey, Lex. Miss me?" I felt like punching him, I felt like hugging him. I felt like......kissing him, and slapping his perfect face! "wha-what? you....you died over four years ago!" He rubbed the back of his neck. "Funny story that...."

I grabbed him into a hug. "I don't care how your still alive but I am glad you are." He hugged back. I really missed you Alex." I buried my face in his neck. "I-I missed you more, Jase." We pulled away. Jason took my hand. I noticed that the voice and the pain had ceased. That was it! Jason was the rider I needed to restore balance to the dragon inside of me! (See Book 1 Dog tags deadly secrets, Chapter thoughts and memories. :))

Jason and I sat on the roof's edge and talked. "I cant believe this." I mused. "You've been alive all this time, and you didn't even look for me?" Jason sighed, and his wings ruffled, uncomfortably. "I-I did look for you Lex, really I did. You saved my life. I couldn't find you and I thought you were gone....until I moved here, and realised the local legends started to sound familiar, so I snuck around. Then I see you on the roof with a gun at your head! Why?" It was my turn to sigh. "I haven't been....myself lately. But I just realised that when your around....I'm not a monster Dragon. You were meant to be my rider, Jase." Jason, touched my hand, and smiled. "What do we do first?"

Over the next 3 hours Jason and I worked on the basics of dragon riding. He held on tight to my neck as I dipped and flipped in the air. "Wooohooo!!" He yelled. I smiled a dragon smile. We stopped for a break. sweat poured from my forehead. "That, was fun!" I said, grinning. Jason side hugged me. "yeah. I've never had that much fun since....well.....the old days. Flying through the air..." I sighed at the memory. "speaking of flying..." I stood up and hovered a few feet above the roof. "Woah, Alex....thats.....awesome! But how?!" I sat back down next to him. 

"I was mutated. I got the power of speed and flight." Jason nodded. "Just like my wings." I smiled and stroked one of his feathery wings. "Yeah, except I dont have to worry about these things getting in the way." I stuck out my tongue playfully. He bumped my shoulder with his, gently. "Hey." we chuckled. "Come on, Jason." I flew up. "Slow poke!" He grinned and flew up after me. "Can't catch up, sparky?" He asked passing me flying backwards. "Show off!" I laughed. I caught of something glint in the setting sunlight on the roofs below. 

I glanced down, long enough for Jason to fly over to me, Grabbing me and carrying me through the air. "Jason!" I laughed. "What?" He asked innocently. I rolled my eyes. Jason took me to a apartment building and set me down on the roof. "Look up." He instructed. I looked and saw a blanket of stars. "Wow." It brought back so many memories. "Its beautiful, Jason..." I said breathlessly. "Not as beautiful as you, Alex." Jason said as he put his lips on mine. I didn't know how to react. I had a boyfriend, but Jason didn't know that. And we were really close when we were younger..

So when he pulled away, and stroked my cheek, I just smiled. Then a shadow jumped out and tackled Jason to the ground and started beating the life out of him! I blinked twice, and grabbed the figure from Jason. The person growled and swung me into the wall, glaring at me. I stared up into Bright green eyes. "Oh, darn."

Raph shoved me harder into the wall. "How could you Alex?!" He shouted. I couldn't speak. "R-Raph-" Don't Raph me!" Jason stood up shakily. "Lex, you know this guy?" I growled and pushed Raph away from me. "Stop Raph!" He growled. "So, this is the real reason huh?! Telling me you loved me and that you left to 'protect' me?!" I looked into his accusing eyes, and knew I had allot of explaining to do. And that Raph might not ever trust me again.

I know I took so long, but Schoool is KIILLIINNG!! Anyways, here it is, hope you like it! :D Ps. the pic is Jason now.
