Page 2 of Dragon Me Through Space

What had they meant that I seemed familiar? I didn’t remember meeting those handsome Dragonkin before.

Just two more blocks. I could make it. I had enough of a head start on the Dragonkin to keep me out of their reach.

I rounded the corner and had to swerve around another male Dragonkin, this one extremely large, like a wall of muscles and hotness. Why were there so many of them? Why were they so hot?

Maybe I just needed to get laid.

“Stop her!” one of the Dragonkin pursuing me yelled.

“Huh?” the Dragonkin behind me asked.

“Girl! Just wait! We aren’t going to hurt you!” the second Dragonkin from the alley yelled.

His voice sounded familiar. I couldn’t place it, though.

“No!” I yelled back and darted into the hotel. The elevator doors closed before I could reach them. “Crap!” I yelled and swerved towards the stairs. They could run faster on stairs than I could. Heck, they could fly if they wanted to since they had wings.

I put every ounce of strength and speed into my legs as I ran up the stairs. The three Dragonkin were right on my heels.

“Leave me alone!” I growled at them.

“We just need to ask you something,” one of them said.

“Scout!” I yelled. “Wall!”

Scout zipped away from me and then created a solid barrier made of air from its ports. All three Dragonkin slammed into it and growled angrily as they stumbled backwards and down a couple of stairs.

“Return!” I ordered Scout before they could grab it.

I yanked open the door to the floor my room was on and dashed to my door. My keycard was missing. “Come on. Come on,” I muttered as I hacked into the security system of the hotel with my wrist pad and opened the door.

The Dragonkin stepped into the hallway, catching their breaths, hands on their knees.

“You’re fast for a human,” one of them said.

“You a cyborg?” another asked.

“I’m human. I’m leaving. Stop following me,” I grumbled. The door clicked open and I shouted, “Ha!”

I ran inside, but a giant palm slammed against the door, holding it open. “Not, so fast,” one of them panted as he pushed inside.

I grabbed my taser from the coffee table and aimed it at him. “Leave my room, now.”

“She’s feisty,” one of the two in the hallway commented.

“Wouldn’t you be if someone had just kidnapped you and tried to force you to marry them?” I panted, my adrenaline wearing off as I stood still in the hotel room. My bag sat on the couch behind me. It was still packed, since I hadn’t had a chance to unpack last night.

“Who are you?” the giant Dragonkin in the doorway asked. His green eyes scanned my body slowly.

Someone’s communication device rang.

“What?” one of the males in the hallway demanded.

“Did you get her?” I heard the first Dragonkin ask.

“We’ve got her cornered in her hotel room,” he explained. “We don’t have time for this. Our flight is scheduled to leave in minutes.”

The giant in the doorway turned and I took advantage of the distraction. I spun, grabbed my bag, and ran into the bedroom, locking the door behind me. I grabbed my gun from the bedside dresser, slipped on my boots, and faced the window. It was a five-floor drop. Normal humans wouldn’t survive that fall.
