Alone In This World ::**18A**::

Drake watched the Shape shifter move ahead of them, he then turned to the girl. "do you want to ride on my back?" he asked this with a softer voice, knowing the girl would have trouble walking at the same pace as himself and the other girl.

"it'll be a lot safer and more quick, if you ride on my back, and i don't mind at all."he then turned around, his back facing her, then he shouted out "Alice, wait a moment." after saying this, he got down on one knee to allow the girl to move onto his back easily if she so chose.

Sanori giggled and jumped onto his back gently and hooked her arms around his neck and her legs around hi waist so he could grab them. She was thankful for wearing jeans and a shirt and she nodded. "Kay" she held on tightly but not tight enough to choke the poor guy

Alice stopped and looked back to see Drake offering the girl his back to ride on. She looked at them and sighed turning away and looking at the ground. She crossed her arms and gripped the forearm. She knew they would fall in love and she'd be the lonley, split personality shape shifter. She sighed and looked at the darkening sky.

Drake stood up, holding the girls legs slightly, as he positioned himself to start walking, before moving he shouted out to Alice.

"okay, we are ready, now that the slug won't slow us down!"Drake smirked, as he bursted forward with movement, closing the distance between them and Alice quickly.

Alice looked at Drake as he came beside her. She loooked away quickly hidding the lonlyness from her eyes. "Lets get going." She mummbled and continued walking. She was tired of being in this form and changed into a wolf. She started to run down the path, wanting to escape from everything. She looked behind her to see if Drake was following.

Sanori squeaked and closed her eyes until he slowed. "Omg warning next time!" she snapped at him quickly, knowing her face was close to his ear. "Like seriously. I could have fallen there!"

She watched Alice run off and frowned, something about her voice concerned her. "Something's wrong with her.." she whispered to drake and rested her chin on his shoulder.

Drake continued to keep pace with Alice, giving her around a meter of distance between them, he winced at the loud screams in his ear, twitching his left eye slightly. "well, that is none of my concern, if she wants to speak to you about it when we get our rooms at a hotel, thats her choice." he said this rather coldly, as he breathed slowly to not run out of air during his pace, as they should reach town shortly if they keep at this speed.

Alice ran faster and made it to the edge of town. She stopped her breath comming out in short pants. She didnt care about the pain. The lonlyness had taken over already. She stopped and looked at the ground.

"Sorry didn't mean to scream in your ear." she whispered and held onto him still, looking ahead before she closed her eyes with a small sigh.

The motion of him moving slowly caused her to fall asleep, her cheek against her shoulder and her lips parted slightly. Nothing but silence filled her sleeping mind, no dreams of voices.

Drake had finally caught up to Alice after a short minute or so, stopping slowly to not wake up the human girl, as he stood beside Alice, he grinned and patted her on the head then mockingly saying "good girl, knowing better not to run to far ahead"as he was saying this he also ruffled her head softly, laughing slightly, expecting a hostile reaction back.

"shall we find a hotel now?"he asked while his hand still patted the shape shifters head.

"Sure its up to you lover boy." She said but didnt look at him. She changed back to human, but didnt meet his gaze. She wasnt sure why she was so angry. She knew shed always be lonley so why was it bothering her. "Lets go find a cheap hotel."

Sanori faintly heard their convo since she was starting to wake up. "I have a hotel.. booked" she said softly, very faintly as she slipped back into sleep once more, breathing out softly.

Drake looked at Alice alittle confused as to what she said, and let it slide, as he started to follow her, he heard the human girl on his back speak alittle.

" hold up there Alice, Sanori is trying to say something."he called out to her.

he then turned his head slightly and spoke."where is this hotel? whats the address?"he asked quickly.

She just started talking in her sleep. "Main street.... it's called Rocky ridge.."(made that up) she muttered and snuggled her cheek closer against his shoulder. "Sleepy" she whispered and then fell silent again

Alice stopped but didnt look. She hated people who would fall in love. She snarled under her breath and clenched her teeth and fists. She was so angry and jealouse. She just wanted to run away.

Drake nodded, as he heard the address, he then stepped upto Alice.

"i don't know this place very well, so, how about you lead the way to Main street, Rocky ridge hotel?" he said this annoyed, he was suppose to be half way to the coast by now, but had to make the travel back to town.

Drake looked to Alice, and it was pretty obvious to anyone, that the look in her eyes was loneliness and he had this nagging hint that she had the wrong idea going through her head about Drake and this human, Drake had no time as of yet to even consider a partner, he was far to busy still trying to resolve the hatred between the humans, and what to most people are called 'Mythical' creatures, ontop of that, he had people he had to look after, on his home island.

"Just follow street..leads to main street." she mumbled again and sighed, annoyed she couldn't sleep fully. "Sorry.." she whispered, going back into silence once more and continuing to sleep.

He was probably on his way somewhere and now she made him turn back, so that's why she was sorry.

"Lead the way dragon boy." She said turning and smiling at him. She had gotten her emotions under control. She looked at the town and saw all the ppl. She wanted to look at the stores and see all the cool stuff.

"Sleepy" she whispered again as they moved to the hotel. It was hard to stay in a sleeping state on Drake's back, "Hurry up." She groaned at both of them

Drake increased the pace, as he walked along the main street path, looking from side to side for the sign that said 'Rocky Ridge', after a nearly ten minutes, Drake had finally spotted the place, and shouted out to Alice. "Over here!"he said, as he began to walk into the place.

Alice followed only stopping to look in a window. She was amazes by all this cool stuff that when she realized the drake had left she was lost. She cussed under her breath and walked stright ahead trying to find the place.

Sanori opened her eyes and blinked slowly. "oh heeyyyy" she smiled, her voice soft. "you can put me down if you want." She lifted her head up so if he did, she wouldn't smack her chin on her shoulder.

Draked nodded, as he kneeled down, allowing the girl to get off his back, and afterwards, Drake stood up, looking around, he hadn't seen Alice in a while, and he didn't see her anywhere near, he sighed.

"she got lost that easily?"he thought to himself, and sighed once more, as he lifted his hand high into the air, in the direction of the sky, as he called out two words "Vas Flam!" as the last word escaped his mouth, a ball of bright orange flames bursted out into the sky, and exploded.

"she should be able to see that and the direction"he said, as he sat down, waiting now.

Alicesaw the bright flame and followed the direction she had only been two blocks away. "there u are." she said as she saw sanori and drake. "hope u two where keeping it clean for the public. " she said smiling at them.

Drake looked up at Alice, and stood slowly, dusting off his shroud.

"it isn't my job to keep the street clean.."he said, in an actually serious voice.

"so then, shall we all get some rest then? oh..and apparently they don't have dog houses so youll have to stay like that alice" Drake smirked, laughing slightly, as he turned to begin walking into the hotel.
