I looked at her in the moon light, sitting next to me. She was different from all the other girls I had met, self aware and knew what she wanted. Only...one small problem, when she started talking she would go on for hours. Every time I opened my mouth to say something she would tell me to shut up because she was talking. Losing track of what she was saying, I closed my eyes and wondered if she was ever going shut up I had had enough and stood up. Sensing I was about to leave she suddenly stopped. He was working in an MNC in the city. We used to be roommates during the college days. His wife was from our college too. So, I was friends with his wife too. I just wanted to casually inform him that I was visiting the city. But my friend insisted that I stayed at his place.Something inside me really wanted to stay at his place. So, I promised him to spend the night at their apartment. When I reached the place, I had to call down his wife to lead me inside. There were lots of floors and rooms.. When I pulled even, and reached for her hand, she pulled it away from me. She didn't slow her stride though."Emily, I hate to tell you this, but you're playing right into Brenda's hands by running away like this. She was looking for something like this to separate us. She wants both of us competing for her. If we are together like we were, it's easier to see what she's doing." Emily slowed down when I stopped speaking. She didn't stop, but she slowed down to a normal walking pace. I saw her. Fortunately, all the other wyverns swooped and dived, assuming we would continue in the direction we'd been racing."Clever," a voice in my mind purred.I thumped on my Vickers gun in pleasure, and then looked over my shoulder at the three wyverns that now glided over the sleepy coastal town. A sea-washed lighthouse stood near the tidal harbor, and its companion signal tower was on the shore. A red rocket burst above the signal tower alerting the dirigible and town folk, as if they hadn't already.
