The male looked at her. Struggling to calm down. Struggling to not be offended. He didn't want to be protected. He didn't need it. He could protect everybody. The dragon wasn't afraid of the men . He knew they could still hurt her as well. He didn't want her hurt. "I don't need protecting." He said. He felt more offended. "I can protect myself and my family and you, I don't want you hurt." It was easy to wound his pride and offend him. The dragon was sensitive. The dragon was growling more. He really didn't want to never see Kyla again. He closed his eyes crying more. He felt broken. If she left, he wasn't sure what he would do. The dragon was fuming with anger. Edward was looking at her "I can handle myself" He growled "And how did you expect I'd feel, your lucky Will is asleep." He didn't want his brother to know. He hoped he could convince her to return. He didn't want Will upset anymore. "Just come back." His eyes closed. The young man was shaking. The dragon cried harder when she hugged him. He truly had nobody else as a friend. "Just stay...," he was tense. The dragon was shaking a lot. "You can't run your whole life, problems don't go away like that." He said angrily.
