Kai

I've never had anyone frustrate and annoy me the way she has. Never in all of my existence. It's like she's bipolar or something. One minute she's quiet and observing, next she's ready to kill me. It hasn't even been twenty hours since she landed on Earth, and she's already having me losing my mind.

She almost killed Zazie. I saw it with my eyes. I saw pale she looked, how blue are lips were. I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't forced her to restore Zazie. What kind of power is that? I've never seen it. It's like she has the ability to steal someone's life force by just touching them. I'm only just curious as to how many powers she has. I still don't know what she does with the weapons she uses. I know she's an empath and a telepath. Her entire body is damn weapon. Her hair. The fucking hair left cut on my palm just because I touched it. I'm just waiting for her to reveal what else she's capable of.

Returning Zazie's energy when she drops on the ground and starts screaming. It's a cry in agony like she's in severe pain or something, but I don't see her struggling.

I send Lee and Zazie to the basement, and ask them to lock up until I get to them.

I rush to Laura's side and drop on my knees in front of her. "Laura, what's going on?!" I make a move to touch her shoulder but retract because of obvious reasons.

She keeps screaming and I don't know what to do. I feel so helpless and even though she doesn't deserve my kindness, I still can leave her like this.

"Laura–" I don't bother to finish talk as she stops screaming and drops her hands on the cold floor. "Laura? Are you okay?"

Her finger separates, going as wide as they can go before she raises her head. My eyes meets her dead black ones, her full her had turned into black like it did when she was fighting me. I shift back because I don't know what she's capable of doing.

"Azra." She calls the name out as a whisper.

"Azra? What-" her scream cut me off again. "Fuck!" I mutter and move behind her when her fingers begins to scrape the wooden floor. I hate feeling like this. Clueless. Helpless. It fucking sucks. I don't know what's going on with her and I'm not sure to stop what's happening.

"Laura... What is going on with you?" I ask as I watch her suit burn off her back. My mouth drops open when I see something glowing on her back, it's look like a symbol glowing. I don't understand this. I don't understand any of this and I need to know what's going on. I should have asked her to tell me more about her before making the decision to let her stay with me.

"What is this on back?" I ask in concern but I doubt she can hear me.

To my surprise, she answers, not giving me much but it's enough to know it's about someone. "Azra, Az-" she doesn't finish as she raises her head towards the ceiling and screams again, more louder than she already has. And I watch as her veins begins to turn black, starting from her neck before spreading to the rest of her body. I say rest of the body and I mean her suit begins to burn off as the black spreads, leaving her naked.

Her aura is obviously covered in darkness. I should have known this when she stopped the escalator. Laura isn't just a warrior princess, she's more.

"Who is Azra?" I ask again when she stops screaming.

She turns me and snarls, showing me her growing fangs. Damn! What exactly is this girl?

"Mine, Azra Mine."She growls. Her fangs are extended now. Oh boy, don't they look sharp and shiny?

"What?" I didn't get much information on Azra, she just said it's her.

Before I get the time to react, Laura reaches to place her hand on shoulder. I gasp, my eyes widen as I get toss into an unfamiliar memory. In the memory, I see Laura in her suit, the one that just burned off her body with a sword I've never seen her wield. She was on a back of a dragon, a very big and scary dragon. She dropped from the dragon and releases a powerful energy surge that pushed everyone and everything standing in her path, destroying the surface.

The link cut off and I'm unable to see what happens next in her memory as she removes her hand from my shoulder. I blink to get my sigh right before focusing it on her. Still in the same position she was when I looked into her memories.

"So... Azra is your dragon?" I ask and she nods. "What's going on?" I can't pretend I understand what's going. She was screaming. What has that got to do with a dragon?

"He is in pain. He is in a lot of pain." She breathe out.

"Is that why you are in pain because your dragon is?" I need to know.

Laura shoot me a look that is alone to make me shit my pants. "He is not just my dragon, he is a part me and I'm part him. We are connected, anything that happens to him happens to me." She says.

That explains a lot or nothing at all, I still don't get it. I've never heard of a thing like this, well then again I haven't met anyone like Laura.

"Why?"

"I-" She begins to scream again but this time the symbol on her back starts to fade.

"Laura?" I take a step back to get a full view of the symbol, the wings are fading. "The marks on your back..." He starts,

Laura turns to look at her back but she couldn't see much before she looks at me. "What about them?"

"They are fading, Laura. What do they mean?"

"Mine and Azra's life force. He might be on Di Hipsodat but a part of him is still with me," she explains. "Are they still fading?" She asks.

I try to keep my eyes on her face and not any lower. "No." It's actually a surprise, the fading stopped and everything is back to normal. I don't know have any reasonable explanation for it. "What the hell just happened?" I move closer to her and squat behind her.

Laura sighs in relief and leans back against me. "He stopped hurting," She whispers as her eyelids begins to close. "I'm tired, Kai. I want to rest."

She is leaning against me and nothing is happening.

"Your body is touching mine and you aren't hurting me."

"I told you I trust you, didn't I?" She says in a tired tone, snuggling into me.

I stare at her in my arms. I move my hand to touch her but stop before using my index finger to push the hair off her face. She looks...well, I haven't had the chance to really look at her since she arrived. She looks calm yet troubled.

"Laura? Are you asleep?"

"No." She answers but the tiredness is obvious in her tone. "Your world is making me lose my strength, is it because of your moon?"

"Might be or maybe your body isn't yet used to the climate here," I lick my lips without looking away from her. "Would you like me to show you where you'll be sleeping?"

She opens her eyes and raise her head to look at me. "I have my own sleeping quarters?"

I chuckle. "Your room, yes. Should I?"

"Yes."

I place my hands behind her knees and my other hand on her back before scooping her up in my arms. I carry her up the stairs to the guest rooms I prepared for her. When we enter the room, I place Laura on her feet but she jumps on me again, wrapping her legs around my waist.

"Laura, what's wrong?" I ask, wrapping my arms around her to keeping her from falling.

"Cold." She tightens her hold around my neck, almost choking the life out of me. "Too cold. The floor."

I chuckle, trying hard not to laugh out loud because it's funny as fuck. She's afraid of the cold tiled. I walk towards the bed and sit on the it because I don't think she has any intention of letting go. 

"It's the tiles, do you mind getting off me now? We are on the bed now." I clear my throat. There's a naked woman wrapped around me, straddling me and the way her hips are moving involuntary on me is not helping.

She unwraps her arms around me before moving off me to sit on the bed. She hums and traces her palm against the sheet before looking up. "So many lights. What's it called?"

I follow her gaze to the chandelier hanging in the middle of the room. "It's called a chandelier," I answer and stand up from the bed. "I'm going to get your sleeping wear." I clear throat and walk to the closet in the room.

I haven't unpacked the bags but I've picked out what she was going to wear; a T-shirt and sweatpants. Clutching the material in my hand as I return, I stop with my tongues down my throat at the sight in front of me. Laura is jumping on the bed and she looks like she's enjoying herself.

"What are you doing?"

"So soft." She continues jumping.

"Come down here." I use my hand to do the come-here gesture with his hand. "I brought you something." I show her the clothes in my hands. Laura jumps down and strolls towards me.

"What is it?"

"I brought you clothes to sleep," I drop them on her outstretched hands. She takes them and look from it to me like she's wondering what she'll do with them. "Should I give you some privacy?"

She shakes her head. "No, stay and help me."

It's bad enough that I had to control myself and now she wants me to help her wear clothes.

I swallow hard. "Are you-" I clear my throat. "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay then," I remove the clothes from her hands and lead her to the bed. I toss the clothes on the bed and turn her body towards me. I pick the T-shirt from the bed and helps her into it before wearing the sweatpant. "There you go." I murmur as I remove her hair from her shirt.

She touched the hem of her shirt and pulls it. "It's very big." Well, it's over sized so...

"About your markings, Laura," I begin and watch her reaction, she raises her head and doesn't look murdery, which is a progress. "You said General Riga outsmarted you and locked you out of your home planet because he knows you are the only one capable of stopping him, which means he also knows about the bond you share with Azra, maybe he got to him and seeing as the markings are still on your back, I think they are trying to warn you, how much trouble are you in, Laura?"

Dihipians don't lie, so I know she was telling the truth of Riga but it just doesn't make any sense. Why did Riga go rogue?

"Can you stay with me tonight? I would like to internally connect with him."

"Sure." I clear my throat, not bringing up the way she ignored my question. "Let me check the house first."

I leave the room without waiting for her to say anything. I close the door after me and lean against it, sighing. "What have I gotten myself into?"

Pushing myself off the door and head to the basement. I open the door to see Zazie lying on the ground with her head on Lee's lap. They both look scared. "Don't you look nice, Zazie and I'm sorry I forgot dinner. Are you mad?"

"Is she gone?" She asks in a shaken voice.

I sigh and stuff my hands into my pocket. "No, and she'll be staying with us for a while." There, I said it.

Zazie raise to a sitting position and glares at me. "What the hell did you just say? Kai, she almost killed me with a touch, she-"

I hold my hand up and she shut her mouth. "I know but it's more complicated than that." I tell her because they probably won't believe me if I decide to tell them the truth, I mean they don't even know who I am. The real me.

"She's dangerous, Kai. You saw what she did. Her touched burned me, and you seemed very familiar with her, too familiar. You knew what she is. What exactly is going on here?" Zazie isn't having it with me. "Do I need to remind you that she almost killed me?"

"You are alive now, aren't you? And she didn't know what she was doing was bad," I remove my hand from my pocket and run it through my hair. "Look, she is different from us and she's going through a lot, and she's going to be living with us. The last thing you want to do is annoy her because she get irritated easily. Stay away from her and she won't hurt you." Warning them is the best move.

"Is she even human? She looks like a freaking alien with dark powers," Lee adds.

"You wouldn't even believe me if I told you, guys, look I know this is too much to ask, but please bear with me and her for the time being. I promise you that she won't do anything she isn't supposed to do." I shouldn't promise them that because Laura is a walking cannon.

Zazie and Lee shares a look before facing me. "Where did you even find her?" Zazie questions.

"Space." I shrug. "The coast is clear, you can both go to room now and have a good night sleep and yes, I will be keeping not only an eye but both my eyes on her, good night and I hope I see you tomorrow, love you guys bye bye." I wave them off and walk away.

I return to the guest and stop with eye wide open. At this time I shouldn't even been surprised. Laura is floating in air with her body upside down, her eyes closed and her mouth is moving. She's saying something but fuck me if I know.

"Di Llac rofth ye Azra, tel em ese gorthu ye golup."
