Evan Pov.

"Your gonna go with..... Hugo first. To Europe."

I nod. Hugo took my hand and kissed the top of it.
"I'm honored to have you first, mon beau. Je serai un bon mari pour toi."

"..." I look to my mother. She puckered her lips.
I lean in and kiss Hugo's cheek. I blush pulling away quickly. He pulled me into his arms hugging me tightly.
"Your so cute."

"How long do I get to stay with you?"

"Three months. We leave tomorrow morning."

I pull away from Hugo and go to my mother.
"Can you stay?"

"I'm sure once you come back to America Kevin will let you visit once or twice."
I hug mom tight.
"I'm coming for every wedding. I want grandchildren in the future."

"Mom!"

"What? Is it a crime to dream of little yous and your husbands running around"

Hugo put his hand on my shoulder.
"Don't worry we'll get there when your ready."

I hug my mom.
"Now excuse me I have to take him to the hospital."

Mom helped step dad up and carried him out the door.
I look to Hugo.
"What..*yawn* now?"
He chuckles.
"Go sleep. We'll be on our way tomorrow."

I nod and go to Kevin's room. I flop down on the bed and fall asleep.

I felt someone pick me up. I whine and snuggle into the warm arms. I was wrapped in a blanket.
"He's so light."

"His scales are beautiful."

"He's beautiful."

I fall back asleep. Why is the room shaking? I open my eyes slowly. Hugo was writing a few papers doing some work. I wiggle out of the blanket and stretch my arms and legs.

"Bonjour ma beauté. comment vous dormez."

I rub my eyes. "What? English please."

"Sorry. Mon beau. How'd you sleep?"

"Good. Did you sleep?"

"No I'm trying to get work done a head of time so we can spend time together."
He smiled at me.
"We'll be landing in ten minutes" he said.

After we landed we drove in a limo to his house. The city is amazing. So many shops and things to see. When night hits it must really glow.
I feel like a kid. I miss home but this is awesome! I wish I had friends I can tell about this.
"Hey Hugo. Kevin has dream powers. Adhami has Illusion powers. What about you and the others?"

"Kevin and Adhami are the exception for those powers. But I do have the powers of feelings. I can tell when someone's feelings just by touching them. Oh look we're here."

My jaw dropped. Do all Dragons live in mansions?

The car stopped. He takes my hand helping me out.
"It's huge!"

"Yea. We live in large places. Except Chen he lives in a shrine."

He pulls me inside. The place was big inside. White marble floors a big chandler hung from the ceiling. A Big Y staircase to the upstairs. He lead me upstairs to a huge bed room. Light cream colors mixed with white and a tan color drapes. It was so pretty. Hugo picks me up and flopped me onto the bed. I laugh.
"It's so fluffy!"
Hugo was smiling although he seemed sad.
I sit up.
"You ok Hugo? You seem sad."

"No no I'm fine Mon beau. Tell you what. You can explore a little then we have dinner watch a movie and snuggle then in the morning I'll take you into the city. Sound good."

I nod.
'Evan!'

I look around and then at the desk in a small container was Prism. Jumping to my feet and rushing over and open the container and pick Prism up.
"I thought you were dead! I missed you so much!" Tears collected in my eyes. I turn to look at Hugo but he was already gone.
'Weird?'
Prism said.

"Yea. Come on bud lets go look around."

Hugo (a few days after arriving)

I walking around looking for Evan. I'm gonna take him to see the Eiffel Tower and go swimming later. I here some music coming from a room up ahead.
I walk to it and open the door quietly. He's laying on the floor coloring like a kid. With Prism and a couple other snakes.
He such a child. Pure and innocent. I hate the fact that he got caught up in all of this.

"Hey Evan."

He looks up from the paper.
"Hi Hugo I met our neighbors. Well others that live here. In the garden outside."

"Do they like you?" I asked.

"Yea. The older grass snake like me as well."

"Oh really?"

"Yep. Although he doesn't like you for some reason. Something about cutting?"

Cutting. I shrug.
"Come on I wanna take you places."

He looks to the snakes.
"I won't be gone that long......... no he's not kidnapping me........ we can play when I get back........ don't say that it's mean. You should apologize................" he looks up to me then giggles.
"He's taking care of me. He'll bring me back in one piece. I got to go. See ya guys around." He stood up and ran over to me. I take his hand and lead him out of the room.
"What did they say about me?"

"Just stupid stuff like being a work-aholic. Do you have slaves?"
I shake my head.
"I let them go after a while."

"So you did have slaves."

"How about we go visit the Eiffel Tower?"

"Hugo? Don't change the subject."
He said tugging my hand making us stop walking.
"I want to know."

He's to innocent to understand.
"Did you fall in love. Is that why you let them go?"

"No. I don't want to bring up those memories."

"Why what's so wrong about it?"
He started asking questions. He can't know about it.
"Hugo tell me!"

"ENOUGH!" I scream at him. He lets go of my hand. He looks down.
"I'm sorry." He said quietly. We stand there not sure what to do. It was silent.
"I-I'll give you some space." He walked down the hall his pet followed.
I felt a snap. I growled.
My vision goes off.
I hear grunting screaming whimpering. I felt pleasure that I couldn't control.
It was cold. My torso was warm. I pull it closer. Wet and warm. Wet and warm?
I open my eyes Evan was on his side a pillow tightly being squeezed in his arms jaw biting down on it.
I sit up.
"Evan? Hey Evan?"
My hand touched his shoulder. He lets out a loud muffled cry and sobbed.
Fear, pain, confusion radiates off of him. The bed. The red bed. I pull the covers off of his body. Finger print bruises scratches and a large deep bite mark on his side. He had a leash and collar around his neck. His body trembled.
"Evan talk to me.."

He shakes his head and doesn't move. I let him take control again. Evan was so innocent.
"Evan I'm sorry. He took over. I wasn't able to control him."
I lift his head gently. He whimpers and whines. I undo the collar and pull it off. It was tight on his neck. It left a nasty ring on his skin. I gently pull the pillow from him. He whimpers as I slowly take it from him. It was soaked with saliva and venom.
I lift him up into my arms and carried him out of the hidden room. A slaves room.
With each step he whimpers. His hand is gripping my shirt. He's so cold. We got to our room. I lay him on the bed and tuck him in.
"I d-didn't mean to make you m-mad." He spoke out but most of it was air.

"You didn't this was my fault. The dragon is different to its human form. The nicer it is the meaner it will be. Sometimes the dragon will take over the body doing things that the other form will not want to do."

"W-who.....Jessica?"

My eyes widen. I run my hand through my hair and let out a large breath.
"She was part of my past."
