Chapter 1 Miracle
Fuck that hurt!
My head is pounding.
Waking up all I see is darkness. Not just normal dark. I mean pitch black dark. Stumbling around, ungracefully, getting on my feet. I feel a stone cold wall, consistent with concrete. Fumbling while walking, I reach my hand out, feeling like a zombie in an horror classic, I finally hit a solid object. Moving my hands around I realize, I'm in cell! Touching the bars I get shock and sparks fly out from my fingertips.
"What the hell?" Confused and disoriented, like a fool I yell.
"Hello, is anyone there?" Smart move letting the kidnappers know you're awake. Grumbling when I get no reply; I try again.
"Hello!"
"Be quiet, love." Startled I turn toward voice.
"Who are you? Why am I here?" Hearing a grunt and a rattle of chains I presume he clears his throat.
"Lower your voice love, we don't need them storming in here." At a low whisper "who are you?" Letting out a breath he finally answers "I'm nobody, who are you?"
Not knowing if this is a deception of course I lie.
"My name is M-May? Now what's yours?"
"That's your first lie love, what is your name, truthfully this time?" He gives a low chuckle. His voice is deep. A soothing deep. When he chuckled it was like a deep rumble in his chest.
"Fine, my name is Miracle, now what's yours?" Honesty isn't always the best policy but I admire his tenacity.
"It's Baron, Baron King, nice to meet you Miracle."
"Where are we?" Stumbling back to where I recently was I try to sit closer to the voice. To Baron.
"In a cell. We're prisoners. Do you remember anything?" The last thing I remember was standing by the Granville Bridge then everything went black.
"No, not much, who took us?"
"That would be Andrew Atkins, he's a dragon shifter, though not a very strong one." Hearing his chains rattle, then a deep laugh.
"I don't know him, why would he want me?"
"Are you by chance a supernatural?" That floors me. Of course I just found that I was one. Turning eighteen and waking up to your bed on fire; kinda sets off alarms. My brother Matt was scared senseless. Didn't help that the next day sparks starting coming out of my fingers, that I couldn't control. He really freaked then. He located a local witch and brought me to her. To our amazement; I found out I was a Starlight; a very rare mystical supernatural being. Lucky me.
"Yes, I'm a Starlight." I hear him hiss in a breath. Yea I know I was shocked to.
"That's impossible. Starlight's are extinct. They died off hundred of years ago." That long? Esmeralda the witch, told me I was rare; I just didn't realize how rare.
"It's true, sorry to say, apparently I'm the only one in existence. The witch told me about my abilities. I found this out two weeks ago so it's all fairly new to me." That's an understatement. I'm just now learning how to get my abilities under control. Though at this moment I can't seem to get them to work.
"I can't generate any light right now or I would light this place up. I would love to see your face." Talking to a stranger in the deep dark isn't my idea of fun.
"You really are a Starlight? That's...wow...that's amazing."
"Do you know a lot about Starlights?" Me, I have a very limited amount of information.
"Well I know beyond being thought extinct, that you can manipulate light, read minds; if you want, and have the ability to control peoples lust," he laughs that deep laughs "I would love that ability. There may be one or two things I'm missing but that's my general knowledge on the subject. You're kind has been written about in books and talked about for years." Deep laugh again. It's a sexy laugh. I press my legs together and wiggle. Do not be thinking those kind of thoughts Miracle!
"Yes, the witch, Esmeralda, told me about those three. She couldn't read my blood any further. Said it was blocked." She actually told me once I find my mate my other abilities will be unlocked once we have bonded. Not sharing that news anytime soon.
"What are you, I assume since you know about supernaturals that you are one."
"I'm a Dragon Shifter with a few magical abilities." His chains rattle again.
"Why are you chained?" Having no chains on me, I'm surprised he does.
"I'm a strong shifter, if they didn't bind me they would have hell to pay." Grunting he moves around. It has to be uncomfortable. I reach for the bar between us setting off another spark. Shit! That burns.
"Careful love," I hear him move closer "there's magical crystal powder on the bars. It keeps you from using your abilities and will shock you when you touch it." Well that's just great, then how do we get out of here?
"We need to get out of here, I don't know what they have planned but I don't want to be around when they return."
"Patience love, help is coming." Is he lucid? How would anyone know where we are?
"What help?"
"My brothers, they will notice I'm gone. Soon they will find me. It's just a matter of time." Laughing deep again.
"Tell me about them. Are they Dragon shifters like you? I've never met any other supernaturals. " not a one. I didn't even know they were real.
"I have four brothers, one is a Warlock, one a Vampire, there's a Werewolf, and lastly, there's a Demon. I'm the oldest." Wow an entire family of supernaturals. My brother doesn't have any magic abilities. Esmeralda checked. Amazing how he has so many.
"How old are you?" Laughing he clears his throat. "I'm 32 in human years," human years? What does that mean? "What do you mean?"
"Well I stopped aging at 32. In dragon years or supernatural years I'm 365 years old." Damn that's old.
"Will that happen to me?"
"I'm not sure, it happens with most of us, so probably." Well that's cool, I guess.
"Do you

"Will that happen to me?"
"I'm not sure, it happens with most of us, so probably." Well that's cool, I guess.
"Do you have a mate? Or whatever they call it for dragons?"
"I'm a silver dragon and no I don't have a mate, yet, though we can often tell by scent or touch. Finding our true mate is a very rare occurrence so when we do we cherish and protect them. More often than not it's the scent that shows us who are mate is.
My brother Talon can tell by touch, he's the warlock.
My other brother Brack, he's a werewolf, he can tell by scent and touch like me. Lucias he's a demon he can tell by looking them in the eyes or by their blood. Then finally there's Malik he's the vampire. His is like Lucias by looking them in the eyes or by their blood. It's really different with each supernatural." There's a lot I need to learn apparently.
"Do you know how a Starlight can tell who their mate is?" Curiosity is one of my main flaws.
"From what I read, it's more of a touch than anything else. It's like you get tingles in your body and the sexual desires that go along with it, though I could be wrong since I've never met a Starlight." Chuckling he adjust his self again. We hear noise outside the cell. We wait on pins and needles to see if anyone will appear. No one comes after a moments I break the silence.
"Do any of your brothers have a mate?" Making conversation; better to talk than be frightened over what's to come. His voice gives me a sense of peace in a strange way.
"None of them do, yet. Why with all the mate questions love? Are you looking for your mate?" Hell no!
"Just curious. I truly don't think at 18 that I need a mate right now. But if it happens then it happens. I do like the idea of a love that's meant to be. But it may be wishful thinking on my part anyway, since I'm the only Starlight."
The thought makes me a bit sad. Who wants to spend their life alone? Moving closer to bars; I fold my self into a ball.
"Not all supernaturals mates are from their own species, you may have one or two out there. Don't give up hope just yet." Two?
"You can have more than one?" Deep laughter resonates through our cells.
"Most supernaturals have more than one. Especially for a woman. My mother has four. With those four husbands she's had four pregnancies. It's very common?" Wait four?
"But you have four brothers?"
"Yes, but Lucian and Malik are twins. Not identical though." Interesting.
"So the Demon and Vampire are twins? How did happen?" See curious.
"My mother is a vampire. Our fathers are a demon, warlock, dragon, and werewolf . We got our abilities from each one. Doesn't happen often though." I can tell he's getting tired by his voice.
"How long have you been here?"
"I was thrown in here about an hour before you. I was visiting a friend in Granville. When I was headed to the restaurant to meet him. I was hit in the back of head and fell unconscious."
"Same here but I was at the Granville bridge when everything went black. I don't understand what this...Andrew wants with me though, do you?" Shivering I notice the temperature is dropping. I'm in a summer dress and the chills are making goosebumps. What I wouldn't give for a blanket.
"You're a Starlight, with your capture there are endless possibilities in ways that he can use you. Your lust power alone can control most male or even females around you. You could bend them to your commands. Like I said the possibilities are endless." Now I'm scared. Why would a person use me that way? There is true evil out there. I shiver.
"Don't worry love, I won't let anything happen to you." He's locked up like me. He's depending on his brothers to save him. Why would they want to save me and could they? Like he said, endless possibilities.
We hear a noise and there's a light that appears outside the cell on a stairway. The clomping of boots are heard descending them. There's a man holding a lantern that only shows half of his face. He's big with blonde hair but not very pleasant looking.
"Ah I see your awake Baron. How I've longed for this day and you my pretty, bet your wondering why you're here?" He's callous. I wish he could see me sneering.
"Why am I here Andrew? You know my brothers will come to retrieve me? You just signed your death warrant!"
Andrew laughs at Baron.
"You broke my sisters heart. This is my vengeance for her. You're brothers don't worry me!" Andrew shrugs and turns his attention to me.
"But you my pretty. You will make me more powerful. A Starlight is a breeder and my plans for you will be more than fun!" Hearing Baron hiss I can only imagine it's a bad thing.
"Leave her alone Andrew! You kidnapped me for your sister? Are you mad? We haven't been together for years! That makes no damn sense!" His chain rattles "she meant nothing to me, it was only for two damn weeks!" Barons temper is rising.
"She loved you! She still loves you! She asked me to do this so, I obliged. Never liked you anyway," turning his direction back to me "I will send a maid in tomorrow to bathe you and get you prepared. Till then sleep well pretty." Stomping back up the stairs he leaves us in dark. Laughing as he goes.
"What does he mean breeder?" You can hear the quiver in my voice. Esmeralda never mentioned that I was a breeder.
"He wants to rape you! So you can sire him babes!"
"Rape? Wtf? Why?"
"You are known as a mystical breeder. Your pups or babes would be very powerful. Males will want you to sire them for your power."
This day just keeps getting better!
