“Here you are, child. Here is your ball,” I said to him.
"Thank you. Are you really an alien?” the child said.
I laughed. “Yes, I am. But I am a friendly alien. Are you a friendly human?” I asked.
“Yes, sir,” he said.
“Good. That is a good quality to have,” I said.
“My name is Carol,” a human female said walking up to the child but was talking to me.
“I am honored to meet you, Carol; is this your little one?” I asked. I was still on my knees looking up at her. I did not want her to feel terrified.
“Yes, he is. But I am without a husband,” she said eagerly with a big smile. It was then that I realize she was looking at me and my soldiers with desire. I looked around and realized that it was mostly women that were staring at us.
“I am sorry to hear that, Carol. If there is anything that myself or my soldiers can do for you, we are at your service,” I said. Then I got up to my full height. She stared at me with desire in her eyes. Then another woman was beside me. She put her hand out to me.
“My name is Jessica. We are so glad that you have come to help us,” she said. I shook her hand.
“We are honored to help you fight. The Clenok cyborgs are cruel. We will protect you,” I said.
“I am sure that you can,” she said, looking at me up-and-down. I realized that they were looking at us like pieces of meat. I looked at Jex and Azlo who were holding back the laughter.
“Ladies of Earth, it was an honor to greet you, all of you. We must be on our way; we have a lot of work to do,” I said loudly to address all of them that had gathered around us.
I could hear various sighs and dirty words as we walked away from them.
“Can you believe that? I wasn't expecting such a reception,” Jex quietly said.
“Nor was I. We should have been walking around the town this entire time,” Azlo said.
“That is an interesting turn. It might be to our advantage as well. Now come along; I do not want to keep Vanessa waiting. She is a very busy human,” I said as we walked along. But as we continued down the street, more and more women came out of their houses to just stare at us and smile. We waved and smiled back as though we were on parade. It was very interesting. Jex and Azlo enjoyed it.
When I arrived at the lab, I had Jex and Azlo wait outside. I wanted to be with Vanessa alone. I was excited to see her again. She was all that I could think about. Especially now that I had my energy back. My libido was raging with this newfound strength and health. But when I found her, I was not expecting her to have changed so suddenly. She was now against me for some odd reason. I could not figure it out. Not only did she want me to leave the lab, but she wanted me to leave Earth altogether. She wanted me to leave the village and leave her life.
I was not going to give up this easy. I was a fighter. I was a king. I was not going to let her go, no matter how much she fought me. I could tell that these words were not her own. Someone or something had gotten to her since I had seen her last. There was something going on, and I was going to figure it out. But first things first, I needed to talk to her about my medical condition. That was the entire point of this trip to Earth. I had to think about the Veruka more than anything and put my own desires last.
“Don't cast me out, Vanessa. We are so close. I know that something has happened inside of me. I need your help. My entire race needs your help. I beg you,” I said as I got down on one knee in front of her.
“I have already told you that I have no results for you. I have told you what your body is going through, but I cannot figure out why or a cure. Not with this amount of time. I have my own people to take care of as well,” she said.
“Of course. I do not expect you to neglect your own kind for me. But will you consider running the test again? The one that is the less complicated and does not take as much time? I think that something has happened to me. Please. I will not take up much of your time, and Jex and Azlo are eager to meet with your engineers and figure out the best way to protect the village. I do not want to go back on that promise to your people. Even if we cannot find a cure for the blackness, I still want to help the humans of Earth. We have just met a few of them on our walk here, and all of them were very kind and eager to speak with us. We are not going to abandon those now,” I said to her.
“You met some humans? Who?” she said.
“We walked down a backstreet, and there were many human females coming out to greet us. I believe one was named Carol and another was named Jessica. They were very pleasant. They were very nice,” I said.
I realize that she had grown red in the face. She must have known those women. I wasn't going to push it. But was it possible that she was jealous?
“Fine. Get on the table. I will run the DNA scan one more time. But that is all I can do for today.”
“I am grateful to you,” I said as I sat down on the table. She then began to do her work. I watched her closely. I could not take my eyes off of her. I was upset that she was angry with me. I did not want her to feel this way about me. In truth, I wanted to be with her again and again. I wanted to take her. I wanted to put my cock inside of her. Since she was mad at me, that was not going to happen. I would eventually find out the source of this new anger toward me that she had. But for now, I was going to let her do her work, and I was not going to push it.
An hour passed as she worked on getting the results. I sat quietly. I did not want to anger her and give her a reason to send me away. I was working with a very delicate situation here. On the one hand, I wanted to argue with her in order to get my passion out in the open. I wanted to find out why she was so pissed off at me without warning. But on the other hand, I had to restrain it. It was for another time.
“I don't believe it,” she said looking at a long sheet of paper.
“What? What is it?” I jumped off the table and moved beside her. She was looking up and down at the paper. “Are these the results?” I asked.
“Yes, these are the results from the first time I ran the test. These are the results from today,” she said.
“I do not understand how to read this,” I said looking at the long list of letters.
“You don't need to. You only need to notice the changes. Do you see this here? This is your DNA from when you were sick. Now, this is your DNA now,” she said.
“What does it mean? I am no longer sick?” I asked.
“Exactly. It seems that the blackness has left your DNA. You are completely healed. But there is something much more shocking than that,” she said.
“I am listening. What is it?” I asked looking at the two long papers trying to decipher it myself.
“You now have strands of human DNA inside of your own DNA,” she said looking at me with wide eyes.
“What? How can that be?” I asked.
“I do not know. But it seems impossible unless,” she said.
“Unless what?” I asked. Then she stepped away from me. She started to tremble.
“Did you eat a human?” she asked.
My brows furrowed together. Was she serious? I tried to restrain a laugh.
“Vanessa. How can you ask me that? That is absolutely absurd,” I said.
“Is it? You are half beast after all. You are a damn dragon,” she said.
“That is dumb. That is not why I have human DNA. I think that it is something else,” I said.
“And what is that?” she said picking up a scalpel and aiming it at me. I rolled my eyes at her.
“Do you really think you are going to do damage to me with that? You really do need help defending yourself from the Clenok cyborgs. Now if you will listen to me, I think the DNA is yours,” I said.
The scalpel fell from her hands and landed on the floor with a loud clicking.
“No, that is impossible,” she said.
“Run the test. Check your own DNA against what you see in my results.”
“I don't have to run the test. I already hav
e a print out of my DNA,” she said as she went to a drawer and began to shuffle through it. She was mumbling to herself. “I don't understand how this could be happening. This is not possible. My DNA cannot be inside of you. It is just not medically possible,” she said.
“Did you ever think it would be possible that you would be talking to an alien weredragon?” I asked.
She stopped shuffling the papers and then said, “I guess not. Here it is,” she said pulling out a long sheet of paper. She ran over to my results and began to compare the two.
“It is a match! I cannot fucking believe this! But how? This is absolutely unbelievable!” she said with a mixture of happiness, shock, and fear.
“It is what I was trying to tell you yesterday, but you did not believe me,” I said.
"What do you mean?” she asked.
"It is just a theory. But I believe that when we were together, when we had sex, that somehow I absorbed your DNA. That was why I felt euphoria. That was why I felt strong. When I woke up this morning, I felt healthier than I have ever been. It's as though mating with you was the key that I needed for so long. It is unbelievable, I hardly believe it. But now you have scientific proof that it is what happened. I needed to mate with a human female in order to be cured. It seems that biology has decided that our two races need to be together. Without it, my entire race will die,” I said.
“Fascinating. It does make sense when you put it that way. Maybe the fact that humans are going extinct as well has caused our biology to be receptive to a new, stronger race. It is evolution in action. That would make sense,” she said as she walked back and forth in the room thinking. Then she stopped and looked at me. Her eyes narrowed.
“What? What is it now?” I asked.
“This is not news to you, is it? You have known all along. This is why you are here. This was why you traveled across galaxies to get here. It is not because he wanted our medical knowledge and wanted to help us fight be Clenok cyborgs. It is because you knew that you needed to have sex with human females. I can't believe this! You have been lying this entire time. I feel so stupid. It was obvious. All you had to do was get to know me for a day or two, and then suddenly I am trying to have sex with you? Dr. Douglas was right about you. You have been hiding something. You have been hiding this. You have deceived me!” she shouted.
“That is not true, Vanessa. I am learning this information along with you right now. I did not know this. I did not plan anything other than what I had already told you. We came here seeking a cure or help with a cure and nothing more. It is remarkable that humans themselves are the cure. But I did not know this. You must believe me,” I said.
“Bullshit! You had to have known this all along,” she said.
“If I knew all along, why would I go to these lengths? Why wouldn't I just kidnap and abduct a bunch of human females and take them back to my planet? Wouldn't that be easier? Humans are no match for us; it would be easy to steal hundreds of you and take you back to our planet to mate with our sick weredragons. Why would I put my life on the line? You saw my test results. I could have died any day while I was here. Why would I wait so long, going across the galaxy and staying here in this village when I could just take a human female and be cured? You are not thinking,” I said angry and frustrated with her accusations.
“Well… Maybe because… You did it this way because… I don't know, okay, but I don't believe you!” Then she ran off. I was left alone. She thought I was a liar.
“What does she not believe?” I heard a voice say. I turned around to see Dr. Douglas walk into the lab.
“Me. She doesn't believe me. It is interesting considering that she did yesterday. But today she seems extra paranoid. Do you have any idea why?” I asked moving toward him, knowing that he was the reason.
“Maybe someone finally talked some sense into her,” he said with a big smile.
“And that someone is you?”
“I think you should leave now. She is done with you,” he said crossing his arms and smiling in victory.
“Leaving,” I said walking out. I knew that if I stayed any longer, I would be forced to punch him and then the humans would see me as violent. It is probably what he wanted in order to get proof that we were there to hurt the humans. I was not going to play into his game. I walked out and grabbed Jex and Azlo, ready to go investigate the perimeter fence and attend the meeting that we had set up with the engineers. It was going to be a long day.
Chapter 12
Dr. Vanessa Lopez
I could not believe it. I was such an idiot. Karik had played me just like Dr. Bradley Douglas said he would. I had played right into his hands. It was obvious that he knew all along that having sex with a human female would cure him. I wished that I had figured that out sooner. I had been vulnerable. I had allowed myself to get attached to my desire. It was because of that blind desire that I gave into him so easily. I was seduced by his strange alien weredragon ways.
Now that I had scientific proof that human DNA bonded to Veruka DNA, I knew that that was the real reason that the weredragons were here. It was obvious that they would want something very big in order to help us fight the Clenok cyborgs. I wished I would have thought through it sooner. I had been blind to it all. I went to my clinic shift trying to focus and get my mind off of what I had learned.
When I left, I decided not to walk down Main Street. I felt foolish, and I did not want to encounter anyone. I took a different backstreet to go to my house.
“Vanessa! Dr. Lopez! Wait,” I heard a female voice say. I stopped. It was Jessica; she was coming out of her house and running toward me. I remembered what Karik had said. That this woman had come up to him and spoke to him.
“Jessica, how are you?” I said
“I am just fine. We have all had an interesting day on this block here. The alien men walked this way earlier. I was fortunate to speak to one of them. They are amazing specimens, are they not?” she said. Her eyes lit up. I knew what she was talking about. She was speaking in sexual terms.
“Yes, in medical terms, they are very fascinating,” I said, starting to continue my walk. She walked alongside me.
“What else do you know about them? Do they plan to stay long? Is it possible that maybe I could join you all for dinner one day?” she said.
“Dr. Lopez!” I heard another shout. I turned to see Carol coming out of her house and running toward me. I rolled my eyes.
“Hello, Carol,” I said.
“Did Jessica tell you that we encountered your friends today? It was fun. It was very exciting. Is it possible to set up a meeting with them? I would love to be able to cook for them or help in taking care of their needs,” she said. I stopped in my tracks.
“I mean needs of nutrition or laundry, things of that nature,” she said blushing.
“I will keep that in mind. Now if you'll excuse me, I would like to do some work at my house. I have a very busy day,” I said walking away from them.
“Yes, of course you do. Just let me know if you need any help,” Carol said.
“I will, thank you,” I said walking faster. This was unbelievable. It was as if all of the women had fallen under a spell and wanted to have sex with these alien weredragons. Maybe that was part of their powers as well. I wouldn't put it past them. They were able to shift into dragon form so why not have the power of persuasion as well? These women were eager to throw themselves at them, just as I was. That was convenient.
But as I thought about Jessica and Carol getting dirty with the king, I felt extreme jealousy come over me. I did not want anyone else touching him. Why was I feeling possessive? I had no right. In fact, I had been very mean to him and had pushed him away. Why would he want me now? He had plenty to choose from. I wondered if his healing was temporary and he would have to keep fucking human females in order to stay alive. That would be something, wouldn't it? I kind of like the idea of him needing me in order to stay alive. I was not proud of that thought, but it was satisfying.
Ring! Ring! It was a frightening sound. It was the sound of the town bell, and it only meant one thing: Clenok cyborgs. I closed up my work and ran to the neighboring house. I knocked on the door loudly.
"Karik! Clenok cyborgs!” there was no answer. I ran inside, running all over the house. They were not there. I did not know where they were. It wasn't like he was going to check in with me after the way I treated him. I ran to the town square. Everyone was gathered. I could not see the Veruka in the crowd. They would stand out because they were nine feet tall.
