02 Dragon - Capturing Cara by S. E. Smith Page B

What if they hurt her? What if they accidently stepped on her? What if they wanted to claim her? His dragon snarled.

    “But, Trelon, I missed you so much while you were gone.” N’tasha said running her hand along his arm.
     
    Trelon’s dragon shuddered at the feel of another female. Trelon felt the same way but did not want to hurt N’tasha’s feelings. He gently removed her hand from his arm and took a step away.

    “I’m sorry N’tasha but I have a mate. I must go to her.” Trelon said before turning and hurrying down the corridor.

    Cara was having a blast. She had found a really cool room with all kinds of gadgets in it. When she had asked one of the men in the room what they were doing she found it was a type of repair center when they worked on different equipment that needed repairs or modifications. Cara felt like it was Christmas and her birthday all rolled into one.
     
    She had felt a little guilty at first leaving Trelon but he had looked so tired and after a couple of hours she was filled with too much nervous energy to sleep anymore. She figured he needed his rest and Symba needed a walk so they had gone exploring together. When Cara had heard the sound of some type of drill she had to check it out. Now, surrounded by twenty huge hunky men, she showed them how she had taken apart and modified Trelon’s part’s cloner. The men, in return, regaled her with tales of their bravery and how they had fought in the Three Wars. Some of the men were showing off their dragons to her. She never knew there were so many variations in color. She was checking out one uniquely colored dragon when Trelon burst through the door. She grinned at him as she held the teal, lime green, and silver dragon’s tail in her hands.

    “Trelon! Can you believe this? Isn’t he the most amazing thing you’ve ever seen?” Cara gushed. “And the way his you-know-what’s are hidden are totally awesome! No need to worry about those getting chomped off.” Cara said looking under the dragon’s tail between his legs in wonder.
     
    The burst of laughter from the men ended suddenly when a huge black and gold dragon charged the dragon Cara was holding. Symba shifted into a six-legged creature and grabbed Cara swinging up onto a table then onto a beam near the ceiling just as Trelon’s dragon hit the other dragon in the chest. The teal, lime green, and silver dragon who had introduced himself as Dulce, lowered his head and pushed back. All Cara could see were bulging muscles and snapping teeth as the two dragons collided. Cara screamed when she saw Dulce swing his spiked tail around at Trelon’s stomach. He missed by a few inches but Trelon didn’t as blood appeared along Dulce’s back. The other men had scattered to get out of the way of the two dragons who were circling each other snapping and snarling. Dulce struck out quickly raking a claw down Trelon’s chest. Cara bit her lip when she saw four deep cuts appear. Trelon retaliated by swinging his tail around and knocking Dulce off balance before grabbing his neck with his long, sharp teeth. Trelon was broader than the other dragon and used his size to force the other dragon down.

    “Stop!” Cara screamed. “Stop, Trelon. You’ll kill him!” Cara was already climbing down the metal support beam swatting at Symba who was trying to grab her and pull her back up.
     
    Jumping the last couple of feet, she ran over to where Trelon held the now still dragon down on the ground, his teeth still embedded in the dragon’s throat. Cara ignored the other men’s shouts to stay back. Moving slowly up to Trelon, she ran her hand along his neck moving it slowly up until she could run it under his chin. She tried to ignore the blood seeping from the other dragon’s neck and the steak-knife long teeth that could sever her arm in seconds.

    “Trelon, release him now.” Cara said softly. “Please, for me.” She begged softly.
     
    Trelon growled low.

    “I am going to be really,
