Amelia's P.O.V
After trying to guess deans passcode for 20 minutes I gave up and decided to just give it back to him
I opened my door to Jason going into his room
"Hey jay which ones deans room" I said
He pointed to the end of the hallway and said a goodnight to me. I blew him a kiss then walked down to deans room and opened the door to a sleeping figure in the bed
Who the fuck can sleep without their phone?
I walked up to him and put his phone on the desk near his bed. I looked at him and began tearing up
He took mum and dads death the hardest. I remember his 10 year old self who shut everyone out for a week or two and then his personality changed and he became cold
I wiped the tear from my cheek and gave him a kiss on his forehead which made the corners of his lips curve upwards. I smiled then walked back to my bed
~
Morning
"Amelia wake up"
I opened my eyes to see Jason shaking me.
"Get ready we need to go to school" he said giving me a kiss on my forehead
"Jason I don't feel so well" I said putting my hand on my forehead trying to soothe the headache
"What's wrong" he said holding my face in his hands
"I have a headache a-and I think I'm gonna throw up" I said feeling abit lightheaded
His eyes widened and he yelled for Danny
"What's wrong?!" He said rushing into my room as did some of the others
"She feels sick and head ache and she feels sick goddamnit get a bag or something!" Jason shouted to them
Danny got me out of the bed and took me to the toilet
He sat me down then held my hair for me as he rubbed my back
"Do u know if ur still gonna throw up sweetheart" He said still rubbing my back
"I don't kn-" I got cut off as I began throwing up into the toilet
I heard a few ew and gags from the other boys as they walked out
Once I was finished Danny rinsed out my mouth, I did my toothbrush and then he took me back to bed.
"What happened?" Chris said walking into my room

"Oh baby" he said giving me a hug as he patted my hair
Told u he was like the mum of the house
"Was she the one throwing up" Chris said to Danny who nodded his head
"Go get me a thermometer" Danny said to Chris as Chris let go of me and gave me to Danny
"Do u have a headache" Danny said as he played with my hair
I nodded my head
Just then Dante walked into the room
"Is she pregnant?" He asked with a serious face on
"Shut up Dante" Danny said rolling his eyes as I laughed
"Yay u won't be going to school now we can hang out all day" Dante said winking at me sitting on my bed infront of me
Chris came into the room with a thermometer and a worried Adam
Danny put the thermometer in my mouth as I layed my head on his lap. A minute or so later Danny took it out my mouth and sighed
"She has a high temperature so no school for u princess" he said
I smiled but I soon began to feel sleepy as Danny was still playing with my hair
"Alright Danny, u Dante Brandon and Noah stay with Lia for the day me grant and Elliot need to go out for some...things" Adam said
He gave me a kiss on my head then walked out
Noah and Brandon then walked in with aloadd of junk food a glass of water and some tablets. They brought the chairs closer to the bed then sat on them as the bed was abit cramped
"Take ur tablet" Danny said giving me the water and a paracetamol
I nodded and swallowed the pill down with the water
"U can go to sleep now" Danny said to which I nodded and soon found myself in a deep sleep
~
I woke up 2 hours later alone so I made my way downstairs to see Noah in the kitchen Dante and Danny playing a game and Brandon on his phone
"What's there to eat?" I said in weird raspy voice
Danny immediately stood up and came to me
"You shouldn't be out of bed Amelia I would've brought something up for you" he said putting a hand on my shoulder
"I'm fine just hungry can u make me something?" I said sitting down next to Brandon

"Okay I'll make u scrambled eggs and toast" he said walking into the kitchen
"Make sure Noah isn't helping u" I said my voice cracking near the end
"Hey" I heard an offended Noah say making me smile abit
"U sound horrible" Brandon said as I layed my head on his shoulder
"Gee thanks" I said rolling my eyes
"What do u want to watch Amelia" Dante said
"Victorious" I said he nodded his head and put it on
A few minutes in my phone went off
Unknown: why aren't u at school today x
I furrowed my brows and looked up at Brandon
"What's wrong" he said. I showed him my phone and he took it then texted the person
Me: who's this?
Almost instantly I got a reply
Unknown: Dylan
Brandon looked at me as I stared at the phone with wide eyes
"Danny Noah come here" Brandon shouted to them
They came over to us as did Dante. He showed them my phone and they raised a brow
"What does he want" Danny said
I shrugged my shoulders
"Answer him" Dante said his funny and witty self disappeared it was now stone cold face
Me: I'm sick so I couldn't come in x
Dylan: oh I'm sorry about that do u want me to come visit you?
"What the frick am I meant to do now" I said looking up at the four boys
"Tell him to stay there not to miss school" Noah said. I nodded and texted him that
Dylan: okay do u want to meet up tonight for a coffee or something? Only if ur feeling better x
"Heck to the no ur not going out anywhere with him especially with ur temperature" Danny said shaking his head
"I'll be okay by then I'm going to meet him otherwise he'll think I'm purposely ignoring him" I said
"U have to speak with Adam first" Brandon said
I nodded my head and called him
"Hi sweetheart how are u feeling?" His voice rang through my phone
"I'm good thank u what time are u going to be coming back?" I said
"In about 10 minutes is something wrong?" He said worriedly
"No just come and we will talk about it" I said he muttered a small okay then I ended the call
~
"No" was Adam very stern answer
"But how else am I meant to find out things to bring him down" I said crossing my arms
"I don't care does he not realise that ur god damn ill why would u go out then" He said angrily
"I need to do this otherwise nothing's gonna progress" I said groaning
Adam shook his head no
"Listen, me and him will go to a cafe and then u or someone else can come too and hide somewhere, u know he won't do anything in public" I said
He sighed before saying
"There's something else I need to talk about with everyone" he said standing up
"What's wrong?" Danny asked
"I'll tell u guys when everyone's here, Elliot go pick up the boys from school and tell the school it's a family emergency" Adam said
~
"What's wrong has something happened to Amelia?!" Jason said running into the mansion
"I'm fine" I said smiling at him
He did an over dramatic sigh then kissed me on my forehead. Once all the boys were either sat or stood in the living room Elliot started speaking
"The Russian leader is dead" he said causing some gasps to be heard
"Apparently the leaders wife passed away a few months ago from cancer and the leader couldn't take it anymore so he commit suicide" Elliot continued
"But that's clearly aloud of bullshit I know for a fact Dylan murdered his dad" Adam said looking over at me
My eyes widened
What type of sick fuck kills his own family?
~
"Chris and Noah are going with you" Adam said walking into my room
"So I can go?" I said standing up getting excited
"Yes but please be careful" he said pointing a finger at me
I nodded my head and jumped on him giving him a big hug
"Text him and tell him to meet u at Rosé's cafe at 5" he said once I pulled away
"Why specifically that cafe I could just go to the one down the street from school" I said furrowing my brows
"That's because I'm the one who owns Rosé's so when anything like a fight or something happens I get notified immediately" he said smiling
My mouth formed an o shape before I nodded and sent Dylan the text
I feel like I'm going on my first mission!!

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.
