Damn, I felt terrific. I had never felt anything as good as how I felt after being with Helen. King Karik was right. Being with a human female gives you a feeling of euphoria unlike anything I had ever felt before in my life. I felt one with everything, the surroundings of Earth. I felt the galaxies moving beyond in space; I even felt connected to my own planet of Tivoso more than I ever had before. It felt better than flying, better than being in combat, and better than having sex with a Veruka female. It was an exceptional feeling, and I could not stop smiling throughout the entire night.
She was so damn sexy, and it was everything that I had hoped it would be. But I was surprised by her actions. When I kissed her, I thought that she would push me away, but she did not. I knew deep inside that this was more than just the agreement for me as well. When I saw the beast that she called a tiger coming toward her, a rage came out of me. I could not think of anything else but saving her life. The small human female had grown on me more than I had expected. I had only wanted to use her for sex, but somehow, she had dug her way into my heart. I thought highly of her. She was brave. She was a soldier, even though she was not trained as one. She had courage and strength, and of course, I could not take my eyes off of her because of her astounding beauty.
But now there was a problem. I cared for her deeply, and because of that I did not want to put her in any danger, but I was going to help find her sister as I had promised. Now I wanted to do it for her more than ever; I wanted to make her just as happy as she had made me.
I turned on my side to look at her sleeping. Her long brown hair was loose and spread around her face. It was the first time I had seen her hair down. I liked it. She was beautiful even when she was sleeping. I ran my hand across her small belly. Her skin felt like soft fabric. It was smooth and perfect. I liked seeing the sun on her small petite frame. She was not what I was used to. She was the complete opposite of a Veruka female. This was something different and extraordinary. I could not put this small, fragile human in any more danger. So I quietly got up from her side and put on my clothes. I grabbed my belt and gun and left before she was awake.
I left her inside the ship. Now that the sun was coming up, I needed to scout alone to find the cyborg encampment. I knew what to look for. It would be faster if I went alone. I could scout without being seen. This way I would not put Helen in danger. I could find out where the encampment was, and we could make a plan.
I flew high into the sky, as high as I could go as a weredragon. I flapped my wings higher into the sky. The sun hitting my skin felt glorious. I knew it was from the euphoria that I was feeling from being with Helen. It even made the sun of the Earth feel better than it had before. I flew back and forth, zigzagging over the area of the island that I thought the cyborgs had moved to after the raid on the humans.
As I flew, I started to think about what having sex with a human female really meant. Her DNA would be bonded to mine, and I would now be immune to the blackness plague that was overcoming the population of Veruka. Being with Helen was a gift that kept on giving. I was lucky. I had bonded with someone that I cared deeply for and wanted to know more about. I was looking forward to the day that this ordeal was over, and I could take her back to Willow Springs and see her happy with her sister and as my mate.
As I was thinking about this, a shiny glare caught the corner of my eye. It brought me out of my distraction of thinking about Helen. I looked down to the left to see the cyborg encampment. There were about twenty to thirty of them. I flew further down to get a better look. They were around a couple of houses. They did not seem to be moving. They were stationary and not marching toward a new location. This was good news.
Bam! I felt a blow hit my left wing. I started to spiral as I felt toward the Earth. I quickly recovered and flew away from the cyborg camp as much as I could, low between the trees. I knew that I had been shot. I didn't even see it coming. I was still falling, but it was a controlled fall with my right wing still flapping. It was getting me a good mile or two away from the cyborgs before I crashed into the dirt and rolled.
“Shit.” I looked at my wing. There was a sizable hole right in the middle. Now I would never make it back to Helen. Judging from my distance, it would take me an entire day to walk back to her on foot. I didn't want her to be alone for that long. I had planned to go on the scout and get back to her before she was even awake. But now that plan had gone straight to hell. I stood up and looked at my surroundings. I grabbed my blaster gun from my holster and began to walk.
But as I walked, I felt something extraordinary happen. I stopped. I extended my wing out and looked at it. The hole was slowly closing. My wing was healing at self.
“Holy shit,” I said as I watched it. I had never seen anything like it before. This was new. I watched in shock as it grew smaller and smaller until it was completely healed. This had to be because of Helen. Being with her had bonded her DNA to mine. Not only did the human female DNA protect us from the blackness plague but it also seemed to give us some healing powers as well. This was miraculous.
I stretched my wing out and tested it. It was just as good as new. I flew into the air, keeping low between the trees so as not to be spotted by the cyborgs again. I was glad to be able to get back to Helen. But I had to go a different way. This was going to take longer than I had planned. But I could not go in the direction that led to her. If I was being tracked by the cyborgs, they would follow whatever direction I flew off in. So I had to create a diversion and go the opposite direction. Then I would circle around and head back down the shoreline. It was going to take longer, and I hoped that she would still be sleeping. I had exhausted her enough throughout the night with a lot of sex, so it was possible.
