Chapter 249 - Those that were left behind (1/2)

Morning slowly began, Chloe opened her eyes and reached out next to herself, but as she had gotten used to she only felt the sheets, long gone was the warmth that she used to feel that lit up her world

'He's still not home...'

Chloe sat up and stretched on the bed, while she did her shoulder length blonde hair swayed slightly to the side as she cracked her neck before she jumped out of bed, her green vertical eyes showed a hint of tiredness, ever since she had received the dragon blood her body was in much better shape than it used to be(even though she still lazed around as much as usual, although she had gotten a little more active than before)

”Well then let's do our best today...”

With that to motivate herself Chloe got on her way with her day, first off were breakfast which had to be made, another thing which she had gotten better at doing lately, Chloe put on a shirt (one of the ones that Mars had left behind of course) and walked out of her room into the hallway and eventually made her way to the kitchen where another person was in full swing in the kitchen so she greeted her

”Good morning Elsa”

Elsa's tail waved slightly from side to side as she tasted the food she was making before she turned to Chloe, like Chloe her brown eyes were also vertically split like that of a dragon, she gave a slight smile when she saw Chloe

'You're still pushing yourself Elsa...'

Chloe looked into Elsa's eyes and saw the same grief she knew from the looks she exchanged with the mirror everyday and also gave a smile as Elsa greeted her back

”Good morning Chloe”

Elsa wore a light brown apron that matched her hair color, she like Chloe had short hair, about shoulder length and two fluffy dog like ears on top of her head that twitched slightly, Elsa handed a light green apron to Chloe and the two of them got to work with breakfast, as they were about to be done with the food the sound of footsteps behind them made both of them take a look

”Good morning Elsa, Chloe”

Chloe slightly stiffened but soon showed a smile as she greeted back

”Good morning Mary, I didn't know you were home”

”Well I returned late last night... anyway I'll set the table”

While Elsa also greeted Mary Chloe sneaked a peak at Mary, as a half elf she had youthful looks but the dark circles under her eyes and her slightly dead eyes showed Chloe that her condition was getting worse. Ever since Mars had disappeared she had been working in a forest patrol were she had once again earned the nickname 'Bloody Mary' for her ruthlessness when dealing with outsiders, in other words she was pushing herself and was bound to break for real sometime soon, of course things would not get so far if the rest of the girls had anything to say about it

”Chloe snap out of your thoughts please”

”Oh sorry Elsa...”

Chloe woke up from her daze and cracked another egg into the bowl before she stirred it around making scrambled eggs, the dish she was most confident in making so far(she left all the hard to make stuff to Elsa), then she purred the egg mass onto the pan and fired it into scrambled eggs before she took the pan off the heat and brought it over and sat it on mat when Elsa called out

”Can you go wake Varvei?”

”...Sure”

Chloe took off her apron and walked towards the dragon's lair, Varvei's room, soon she arrived and after taking a deep breath she knocked on the door and opened it without waiting for a response

”Good morning Varvei, it's time for breakfast”

But alas the room was empty, Chloe gave a slight frown before it eased up as she gave a sigh then she set out towards the roof where she knew she would find Varvei and maybe even Yel. Soon she opened the door to the rooftop and stepped out into the fresh morning air, at this point in time Chloe regretted a bit not having worn some pants when she woke up as the only defence against the cold morning air was currently her pure cotton panties, Chloe pulled the shirt down a bit as she walked out onto the roof

'Now where are those two battle freaks at..?”
