Read Abducting Abby (Dragon Lords of Valdier: Book 1) for Free Online Page A

unsure of what to do. She didn’t feel like she could leave him and didn’t feel right walking up into the ship. She decided she would find a nice dry rock to sit on and wait. She still needed to go into town. If she left within the next hour she would be back before it got dark, otherwise, she would have to leave early tomorrow morning. She still needed to finish the piece she was working on and between the storm and her unexpected visitor, she was behind her self-imposed schedule to have it done by the time Edna got back.
     
     
     
    Zoran felt a huge sense of relief as he checked his symbiosis. It survived the month of hiding and the sudden departure with minimal damage. Abby unknowingly helped to heal it. When she touched it, she gave a part of her essence to it giving it the needed strength to heal. He watched the images flash through his mind as his symbiosis replayed how Abby came twice a day, spending close to an hour just talking to it. She would run her hands all over it as she stroked it while whispering words of reassurance. He heard her talk about him. She had been worried about him. She was scared he might not recover and fearful of having to call someone to come look at him. She didn’t want others of her species to know about him because it would be too dangerous. She told his symbiosis she was doing everything she could to help him and would protect him from harm until he was strong enough to leave. What she did not understand was he would not be leaving alone. He had no intentions of leaving her behind. Pushing what he was going to have to do out of his mind, he focused on opening communications with his brothers. He knew they should be close and wanted to warn them of the possible hostile environment.
    “Zoran!” Kelan called out. An image of his brother’s warship came into view. His symbiosis was curled up in the shape of a huge golden cat near his chair.
    “Kelan.” Zoran paused to clear his throat. He feared he would never see his brothers again. “How long before you intercept?”
    “We should be there in seven days time. We have been monitoring communications from this galaxy. They only have one planet in this solar system that is habitable and do not appear to have space travel.” Kelan responded.
    “Who else is with you?” Zoran asked.
    “Trelon. Mandra remained behind under protest. Creon is gathering intelligence on those who captured you and supervising plans to attack them.”
    “I am transmitting my position. It is remote. Come in using caution. This planet is not familiar with other species.” Zoran said sending the information.
    “Information received. It is very primitive there. Soon you will be enjoying our home world’s luxuries again.” Kelan said. “It is good to see you are safe, brother. Until we meet in seven days time. V’ager , out.”
    Zoran acknowledged he would be at this site in seven days time. He felt a wave of relief at the knowledge he would soon be on his way home. He missed his world and he knew his symbiosis did also. Moving out of the ship, Zoran felt a moment of panic when he did not see Abby at first. He sent a call out to his symbiosis attached to her and felt relief when it replied it was close. He followed the call until he came upon Abby sitting on a large boulder with her eyes closed.
    Abby had been sitting for about fifteen minutes when the combination of the warmth of the sun and the relief from the stress of wondering if her visitor was going to be okay swept through her, making her drowsy. She hadn’t had much sleep since the storm blew through three days before. Now, she just wanted to curl up and take a nap. She felt herself drifting, not really asleep but not awake either. She dreamed she was being lifted into Zoran’s strong arms and his lips were brushing against hers. She moaned as she felt the warmth of his body and lips against her. She raised her arm up to wrap around his neck, pulling him further down when he moved away.
