down. I changed back, forcing Carter to. I was pinned under Carter, his hands forming a cage around my head, his legs straddling mine as he sat up. He looked at me, and I saw I had bitten his ear.
I looked at him like a scolded puppy, mumbling I'm sorry.
He surprised me by pecking me on the cheek with a kiss.
"You did good. Just next time, don't look away from your opponent, even for a second." Carter mumbled, placing his head on my shoulder. I felt a hot breath on my neck as Carter nuzzled me.
"Come on, won't you be mine...For the Summer? I won't be rough." He whispered, lust thick in his voice. I tried to push Carter away, but he wouldn't budge.
"Get off of me!" I cried when my body went numb from his weight. The next thing I knew, Aaron threw Carter off of me, telling me to get back. I did as he said, hiding in the area where Aaron watches us fight. Carter and Aaron were arguing.
"Carter, leave her alone. She isn't here for you to breed with, she's here to train." Aaron was growling.
"You're just jealous that she LETS ME do what I want to her. Pretty soon I'll have her pregnant." Carter growled, sounding possessed.
"Shut up you idiot! Summer is coming up and it's affecting you!" Aaron growled back.
Carter phased, charging Aaron. Aaron phased, shooting up into the air. Carter saw how high Aaron was, so Carter changed back, running my direction. He was merely ten steps away from me, when Aaron appeared, human again, and knocked Carter down. Carters eyes seemed more gray then usual when up close. They flashed back to their normal color, a black ebony color, and he looked at Aaron.
"What happened?" Carter asked.
"You're being affected by how close it is to Summer. I had to stop you." Aaron said.
"Oh." Carter said.
I didn't meet Carter's eyes, I only looked down at the rocky ground.
"Are you alright?" Aaron asked, suddenly in front of me. I jumped, causing Aaron to laugh.
"Don't worry, I'm not affected by it." Aaron dropped his voice. "Only the weak are affected before the actual season."
That caused me to giggle.
"Explains a lot." I said.
Aaron sat down, cross-legged from me, looking into my eyes, but not saying anything. I squirmed, uncomfortable by his gaze. Finally, he spoke.
"I could see why Carter was affected by you. You're pretty, and he's been away from any kind of female longer than I have."
That made me uncomfortable. Aaron, just called me pretty. I looked away, to see Carter staring at me. I lowered my eyes at him, and he scurried off. Aaron followed my gaze.
"You'll be stuck with him like that ALL Summer." He said.
I groaned.
"I might kill myself just so he'll stop." I groaned.
Aaron was silent for a few minutes.
"You'll have to get used to Carter and I fighting a lot more." He said.
I groaned again.
"It gets worse. If any Tarragonian is near, they'll be able to catch your sent and they'll come and bug us for you." Aaron said.
"Kill me now." I replied.
Aaron laughed.
"I think the only upside for you is that Carter, and maybe me, will do as you say." Aaron said, suddenly a lot closer. I heard a growl, and looked up to see Carter, standing over Aaron.
"I think it's time she knew fire." Carter said, sounding like himself again.
"You sure?" Aaron asked.
"She's ready." Carter nodded.
Carter helped me up, before hesitating to let me go.
"Carter." Aaron warned.
Carter let go of me. I was spun to face Aaron, who put his hand on my neck, exhaling in concentration. The scene around my faded, before being replaced by what looked like the inside of my neck.
"Do you see it?" Aaron's voice made me jump.
I think I nodded, but I couldn't tell.
"Good. See those two little spaces filled up with red light, blocked by a piece of skin?" Aaron asked.
I nodded. I did see what Aaron was talking about. In between my vocal chords, were to little spaces, only one was filled with red, the other filled with a dark purple. A piece of skin blocked the light's way from my throat and mouth.
"Okay. Imagine those pieces of skin to slide out of the way, like a door, causing the light to rush into your throat. You'll feel a click. After that, you have to phase into a dragon to breathe fire." Aaron said. I followed his instructions, and felt the click. The click wasn't painful, it was more like when you button a purse kind of click.
I phased into my midnight-blue-skinned-yellow-eyed dragon form, and looked at Aaron.
"Okay. Aim for that boulder over there." Carter said.
I took a deep breath, and roared. Fire rushed out, like a flamethrower. But...What looked like purple lightening was circling around it. The lightening-fire hit the boulder; the boulder exploded into a thousand pebble-sized pieces. I phased back, looking at Carter and Aaron.
"Like that?" I asked.
"Did you just...Breathe lightening AS WELL AS fire?" Carter asked.
"She did." Aaron answered.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
There was silence.
"I think that's her gift. Like your creepy see-through-clothes-and-skin X-ray." Carter said to Aaron.
"Or like your freaky I-kill-you-dead-with-earth powers." Aaron mocked Carter's tone.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO TALKING ABOUT?" I yelled, getting their attention.
"Congradulations, you breath fire, like a Terragonian, as well as lightening, like a Jabberwocky. It's your gift. Every Terragonian has a special ability." Carter said.
"Perfect." I sighed, but it ended up as a yawn. "I'm tired."
"Of course. You just passed through a month and a half worth of training for a beginner." Aaron said.
"I'm hungry too." I complained.
"Of course the last female Tarragonian is whiny." Carter sighed. "Come on. I'll take you back. Aaron, go find some food. You ate it all this morning."
Aaron hesitated, before changing and flying off. Carter turned to me, placing his hands at the back of his head.
"I can tell he thinks I'm unstable. You'll be fine if instinct takes me over, right?" Carter asked, exasperated.
"Don't be surprised if you come to tied into a burrito with the blankets, your hands bound." I joked.
"I'll enjoy waking up a burrito." Carter shrugged, grabbing my hand. "Come on. Let's get you home."
"Home." I repeated, in only a whisper. This is it. I have a home. With Carter and Aaron. And hopefully one day, with Austin.

I sat at the table, sharing a bottle of wine with Carter.
"Can I get drunk?" I asked when I began to feel dizzy.
"Why wouldn't you?" Carter replied.
"Hopefully I don't get drunk." I thought out loud.
"And why...Do you hope you won't?" Carter said, around a glass of red wine.
"I am a girl who when drunk...Um...Get's a little slutty." I said.
Carter raised an eyebrow.
"In that case, have the rest." He said, shoving the bottle to my lips.
"Ha-ha." I said, around the glass bottle.
"No seriously. I want to see if you really do get slutty when you're drunk." Carter siad.
I drank half of the bottle in a gulp. Now I was almost drunk.
"You just want to get in my pants when I'm vulnerable." I said, sounding a little drunk.
I hiccuped.
The next thing I knew, I was kissing Carter, hard.

Chapter 3:
I woke up, in bed with Carter. I traced my body to realize: I was stark naked! I gasped, confused, and sat up. I touched Carter's hips, away from his crotch or butt, to feel skin. Had I just slept with Carter?
"Carter." I whispered, shaking Carter's shoulder.
I paused, looking up. It was night time, and Aaron wasn't back. Good, he need not know about this.
"Huh?" Carter moaned.
"Wake up." I said.
"Five more minutes." Carter moaned, tossing over the other direction, facing me.
"Carter, I can't believe you took advantage of me when I was drunk, and vulnerable!" I exclaimed.
Carter opened his eyes.
"Huh?" He asked.
Realization smacked me upside the head.
"Y-you lost control...Didn't you? I was drunk and you lost it and I gave in and..." I trailed off, ashamed.
"What?" Carter asked.
"I think we had sex earlier. I don't know. I think I was drunk and you lost control." I said.
"What? I seriously imprinted on you?" Carter exclaimed.
"If imprinted means you attempted to knock me up, then yes." I snapped.
"Bijoux..."
"It's okay. At least you lost control AFTER I was so drunk that I don't remember." I said.
"Then how do you know we imprinted?" Carter asked, sitting up.
"Two reasons. One, my crotch is sore. Two-" I broke off, yanking the covers off of our bodies. Carter gawked at me, and I tried hard not to smack him or gawk at his naked body.
"Oh. My. God. I officially killed us both." Carter said, looking away.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Aaron's going to find out and kill me, then you since he'll think you LET me. Aaron likes you." Carter said.
"We don't have to say anything about it." I suggested.
"He'll still know. You'll smell different. It's like how animals recognize each other. You'll smell like me. No matter how hard you scrub at your skin in the shower, you'll be stuck like that ALL Summer. The only upside is I have better control, now that we've imprinted." Carter explained.
I leaned over and kissed Carter on the lips. He pushed me away, surprised, and flushed.
"I never thought you'd do that to me, ever." He said, grabbing his boxers.
"Eh well." I said, shrugging.
"Do you have anything to wear?" Carter asked, as he grabbed his shirt.
"No. Not at the side of the bed." I replied, looking at the ground.
"Thank god for my mother." Carter mumbled, tossing me an off-the-shoulder white boho top, and skinny jeans. I found my lingerie, putting it on, before I put on the clothes Carter gave me. I scowled in the mirror at my hair. I always had it long, and it didn't make me the prettiest.
"Do we have any scissors?" I asked Carter.
"Yeah..." Carter said.
"I want to cut my hair. I've always had it long." I replied, grabbing a pair of scissors. I cut at my dark brown hair, until it was about chin length. I gave myself bangs that covered my left eye. I evened it out, layering my hair. I looked in the mirror. I compared Bijoux to Beth. Beth, the old me, was pale, with long ugly brown hair, and dull gray eyes. Nothing special. But Bijoux, the new me, was a nice tan shade, making my hair and eyes seem darker, my dark brown hair dangerous and sexy looking. I liked Bijoux me better than Beth me.

I turned to Carter, who was checking me out.
"You're so pretty." He said.
"When is Aaron going to be back?" I asked him.
"Tomorrow...Hopefully." Carter said.
"What would you do if it turns out you knocked me up?" I blurted.
"The first thing? If Aaron or Austin was there, I'd take you and run. Fast. If it was just you and me...I don't know." Carter replied.
"Oh." I said.
"Are you hungry?" Carter asked, nuzzling my neck.
"Nope." I grinned, before stealing a kiss.
"Good, because we have no food." Carter replied, pulling me back against him, for another kiss.

That night was wonderful. Carter and I didn't have sex, but we still played around a little bit at night. Carter chased me, and each time he caught me, I'd kiss him, before fleeing again, giggling. I settled against Carter's chest sighing as his arms went around me.
"Ya know," Carter's
