Chapter 33 - Poisoned
Ivy closed her eyes, her body felt like a feather and slowly her vision started filling with darkness.
But before she lost consciousness she felt a pair of familiar hands around her waist and she bounced before her body being hugged by strong hands.
The masculine scent from the strong body is refreshing and she feels like she is in a dream. She thought it would be painful when she touched the ground but she didn't feel any pain.
"Am I already in heaven?' Ivy thought to herself and tried to open her eyes.
She painstakingly opened her to be met with a sturdy chest. She lifted her head slowly and was only met with two black holes like eyes. Her breath hitched and her heart was being pulled by those black colored eyes.
She never thought that black would be this alluring until she saw his eyes. He has a sharp jawline, red lips and pointed nose which enhance his features and this devilishly handsome face is stunning under moonlight.
She raised her hand slowly and tried to touch his face but his husky and cold voice brought her back from heaven.
"You are not unconscious?"
When she heard that word the darkness suddenly covered her eyes and she passed out in his hands.
"..." Gavon was left speechless.
Cayden who was supposed to catch Ivy got missed when his dragon sensed the strong push from something and it flew forward causing him to miss Ivy but he secured Ronald in time.
Simon, who is a foot away from catching Ronald saw the Cayden dragon coming towards them and instantly his dragon moved aside.
Simon's heart stopped when he thought he missed Ronald but after seeing Cayden catch him, he breathed a sigh of relief. But a sudden realization dawned on him when he saw Cayden.
'Where is IVY?' At the thought of Ivy his heart dropped to his stomach and looked for her.
Before he moved forward he saw someones back holding Ivy in his arms. After seeing Ivy's legs he felt relieved. No one understands how emotionally strained he was with today's incident.
Cayden, who was also worried about Ivy, looked at the person who rescued Ivy in a neck of time and his brows creased.
'Why is he here?' Cayden frowned.
He saw a person clad in Black robe and pants sitting on the Ash Grey Dragon. With one look one can say whose dragon it is and who is the person.
He is the one who people call a monster and also the shield of King 'Gavon Lee'.
'What is he doing here?' Only this question is revolving in his mind.
Everyone slowly reached the ground and Bratton handled the dragon with a few spells and made it reach the ground.
"I will make it lose its consciousness before it starts acting violently" Bratton said and Simon nodded his head.
"NO" Ronald shouted before reaching Bratton.
"Don't do that. It is dangerous" Ronald stated.
Bratton was confused by his words and asked "Why?"
"Because it is poisoned," Ronald said while gritting his teeth.
Their eyes widened with shock and did not believe their ears "What are you saying Ronald?" Simon's stern voice came out.
"Yes father. Ivy said it is poisoned. If we make it lose consciousness then it will lose its life. It's better to hurry up and remove the poison from its body." Ronald said .
Before anyone responded the dragon spat the mouthful of blood from its mouth and its body was turning black.
"Hurry! Go and bring Master Shah here immediately. I will go and bring the medicine to stop the poison from spreading" Bratton roared.
Cayden nodded his head and went to his dragon before looking at ivy one last time. Gavon did not miss his small action and smirked.
Cayden left the place and Bratton also instructed Ronald before reaching his dragon.
"I have some medicine on me. If you want" Gavon said nonchalantly.
"Lord Gavon. Then.. Then if you don't mind"
Before Bratton completed his words he said "It is in my pants pocket. Take it and mix it with water. It will be enough for now"
Gavon is still holding Ivy in princess style. So he instructed Bratton to take the medicine. Bratton immediately went forward and took the medicine before going to a nearby water source to get some water.
"Lord Gavon. Please give her to me" Simon asked politely.
"Are you able to carry her?" Gavon's deep voice inquired.
Simon flustered. The sudden rush of adrenaline settled down making him shiver. He knows that he is in no position to carry Ivy as well as Ronald who is sitting beside the dragon and caressing its face.
"I can manage as Lord Simon and your son also is not in a position to carry her." Gavon said with cold voice. His eyes didn't show any emotions.
"But.." Simon has so many questions to ask Gavon. The one who doesn't show any interest in anyone suddenly lending his help and on top of that to his daughter.
Simon kept all his questions to himself and gave in "Then, I troubled you Lord Gavon"
Gavon didn't say anything but went towards his dragon with Ivy. Simon informed Ronald that he is taking ivy home as it is already drake and probably Allora is also worried.
"Sorry father. I failed you. Please take care of Ivy" Ronald's voice came out choked.
Simon patted his son and his "Don't blame it on you, Son"
Ronald didn't reply and continued caressing the dragon which was whimpering in pain. Simon sighed and left him alone.
Sometimes leaving a person alone is better than comforting words.
