“Ahhh…” I yawned as I stretched in my bed, this sun was just coming up over the ridge across the valley. The birds had just started their morning songs to announce the arrival of a fresh new day.

I am 15years of age; I live alone in a small cabin on a ridge overlooking a watery valley. I was an orphan until I ran away. I made my way here and have lived here ever since; the woods are full of game and the waters are alive with fish. I love it here, but lately there has been a growing feeling of being watched. There are wolves in the area but it feels different.

As I got a fresh tunic from the dresser in the corner and went to make breakfast I noticed I was low on water and would need to fetch some today. As I ate I planned my day out, I figured since I had to make the long trek down to the waters id make a day of it and do some fishing while I was there, I was low on food anyway and the pear tree near the stream always has fruit on it plus the fresh fish would be nice.

I stepped outside and put my boots on and went to the chest I kept my gear in. I managed to find my fishing pole and my spear, the spear served to purposes, to catch fish and self-defense. It was only 2 meters long with a sharp iron tip. It had a small barb on it, a design of my own making, there was a lever below the tip and barb, I simple had to compress the lever and the barb flattened against the spear, allowing the spear to be removed from the flesh.

Gathering the rest of my gear I set off for the trail to the north. The only way to the water was into the valley. The trail was dark and winding; the forest was far from safe though. Wolf packs frequently passed through the valley hunting deer and other prey, even me once but I was too clever for them to catch. Usually they ignore me all together for easier prey.

I walked till I reached the great pear tree; I stop here to catch bait. Insects gather under the tree to feast upon the fallen and rotting fruit. But. . . .

As I bent down to catch a few worms I felt a set of eyes upon me, watching from the woods. I gripped my spear and turned slowly, scanning the tree line. But there was nothing, no movement; no eyes stared back at me. I felt a little more at ease. I already had enough bait so I pressed on.

The pear tree also marks the halfway point to the water. as I walked on further and further into the woods I let my mind wander off, a dangerous thing to do in the forest.

*snap* a large branch breaking got my attention, I looked in the direction of the sound but saw nothing. Suddenly I felt eyes upon me again . . . something was watching me I knew it. But where is it? I griped my spear tightly as I heard a loud branch break. I turned around and above me on the trail only 15meters away, stood a dragon, staring straight at me. Its deep green eyes focus on me. Its crimson scales and tan underbelly shined in the few rays of light shining through the thick canopy.

I froze, I couldn’t move. A state of shock had my legs in a tight grip; my hands held the spear roughly but my hands still shook notably. I looked at the dragon, my mind was screaming run but legs stood fast. . .then my legs got the message as I saw the dragon lick its lips slowly. In one fluid motion I spun around and dropped my fishing gear keeping only my spear. As I ran down the trail gravity was my alley as it was a downhill run and I managed to get a great speed going.

Behind me I heard the large beast running behind me, this drove me even faster but I could feel the dragon breathe on my neck, it was fast, too fast. Even running flat out downhill it was gaining.

With a sudden burst of energy I managed to move even faster but it was no use as I felt the dragon’s clawed paws grip my waist and then we stopped, with no hesitation I turned and thrust my spear at the scaly beast, scoring a direct hit on the beast’s chest. . . .to my dismay the iron tip snapped off. The dragon’s scales were too thick; it was like striking a shield.

I struggled to get free of the dragons grip and I swear I heard a faint giggle and it licked its lips. it raised me above its head and I watched as its massive maw opened wide, “N-Nooo!” I yelled as it dropped me into its waiting maw and snapped it shut behind me. I struggled but its tongue wrapped around me soaking me in a thick layer of saliva. If I am honest I did enjoy the feeling of its tongue on my skin but as I struggle to get away the dragon tilted it head back forcing me towards its throat. “No, wait don’t do this” I screamed but the dragons only response was a swallowing sound as my legs were engulfed in the beasts esophagus. As I slide down the tight fleshy tunnel I kicked and thrashed as hard as I could in protest but the muscles simply forced me further and further into the dragon.

As I was pushed against a tight sphincter it opened and I felt empty space as I entered, I slid down and landed on a smooth and squishy floor. This must be the stomach I thought to myself as I felt my way in the dark, the space was small, enough room to lie down but not completely stretch out but at the moment I was doing neither. I kicked and punched at the walls with all my strength. “LET ME OUT!” I screamed with tears streaming down my face, but as I fought and thrashed I heard a sound, the dragon was giggling, “Stop that, i-it t-t-ickles” it said in a very feminine voice that sounded from all around me. She’s laughing? “Let me out! This isn’t funny” I yelled as I punched the wall again.

“Oh relax tough guy, your puurr-fectly safe” she said with a slight purr in her voice. A look of defeat came across my face as tears continued to flow freely down my face. “Please let me out. . . I don’t want to die” I whimpered. She could hear the fear in my voice. “sweety please don’t be scared, I swear you are safe in there” she said trying to convince me. “My name is Lyra sweety and you are not going to die” she said in a sweet voice, but I didn’t believe her. “Lyra huh? More like liar!” I said sharply “your just playing some sick game with me before I’m digested, do me a favor and let me die in peace, I don’t want to die in the middle of a conversation with some beast” I said harshly. My words struck her deeply, a look of deep sadness washed over her as a few tears rolled from her scaly muzzle. “sweety I’m sorry, I never meant to upset you so much, I swear you will be okay” she said as I fell asleep. . . . residing to my fate..

I awoke slowly, I was soaked in a thick layer of saliva, a dragon’s stomach is apparently very wet. But I looked around and saw I had not been killed, my clothes hadn’t even been dissolved by acids . . . suddenly I noticed, there were no acids in here, just dragon saliva. Felling my movement inside her she sat up for her lying position as I felt my world shift and her stomach contract and forcing me into her throat and pushing me into her mouth. She lowered her head and set me on the ground in a mass of boy and spit. I was confused as I looked around trying to figure out what happened.

I looked up to the dragon and she still had a few tears on her muzzle, instantly everything clicked, she really was telling the truth, I was in no danger. I even called her those awful things, “beast…” the word echoed in my mind, ‘what a jerk?’ I thought to myself.

She looked at me with an apologetic half smile that quickly disappeared and was replaced by a few more tears, she turned to leave but I couldn’t just let her leave. “Lyra wait. . .” I called out, “Lyra I’m so sorry for the things is said, you were telling the truth but I let my fear speak for me and I lashed out at you” she looked back at me and turned to face me “no sweety, it is my fault, I was trying to be playful and got carried away, I didn’t think about how scared you’d be and was just thinking of myself….” She said, another tear fell from her scaly muzzle. Idk why I did what I did but I suddenly found myself walking towards her and wrapping my arms around the top of her muzzle. Then I heard it, a light murr resonated from deep within the beautiful dragon.

“I am sorry Lyra” I squeaked softly as I held onto her muzzle. I had only known her for a day but I trusted her, she could have digested me but she didn’t. She even told me that I would be safe!

Lyra smiled down at me and leaned down to me as she wrapped her tail around me gently, “look here you sweet little human, It’s okay, we are both sorry, so how about we start over?” with a playful lick she coated my face in her warm breath and spit. “Hello handsome, my name is Lyra” she said with a laugh in her voice.

I looked up and blushed as dark a red as possible “h-handsome?” I squeaked quietly, “I’m . . .well. .” I trailed off. She looked a little confused, “well, what is your name little one?” she asked with sincerity and curiosity in her voice. I sighed heavily. . . “the adults at the orphanage years ago called me david, but that is not my name, I used to know it but I was young and I guess I forgot it. . .I guess I have no name” I said shame filling the air as my eyes could no longer face her. “hmmmm” she puzzled “nope, this will not do, you need a name, a proper name” I got to my feet and looked up to the dragon, “I’m happy for any name but how about we think about it for a while?” I smiled up to her my face still wet with tears. Smiling down to me she licked my face slowly to try to dry my tears, but only managed to soak my upper body in dragon saliva which made me laugh lightly as I tried to clear my eyes.

“Um not to be rude by asking what could be a personal question… how am I still alive? And why wasn’t I dissolved and digested?” she giggled at my confused look, “oh my silly little human, dragons can control their stomachs, they can digest but they can also be used to store food for long periods of time” I walked to her side in the area I assumed I had been and rubbed it gently, this caused yet another loud murr from her, I looked up surprised and smiled, “what was that?” I asked with curiosity. “oh. .um I didn’t think you had noticed that. When something feels really good or I’m really happy I do that” she said with a slight blush on her cheeks. “I like it” I said with a smile, before I knew what hit me her tail wrapped around me and she began to walk, carrying me with her. “Hey, what’s the game here? Let me down Lyra!” “Game? What a wonderful idea my handsome little human, let’s play a game” she said with a devilish grin on her face, exposing her white teeth and sharp fangs. “Um okay what do you want to play Lyra?” without a moment’s hesitation she spat out an answer “seek and hide!”  “Um Lyra it’s called ‘hide and seek’, I said with a chuckle in my voice but quickly stopped as she gave me a playful squeeze with her tail, “oh hush you adorable little human” she said, as her eyes and voice clearly showed excitement. “Okay Lyra ill hide and you seek, wait here for 5 minutes to give me a head start” I said trying to make the rules clear. “I have my own set of rules little one, the game is set on a wager, when I find you, I get to do whatever I want with you” she said with a flirtatious and seductive voice, sneaking a wink to me. I gulped deeply at what she had said “okay but under one condition, no flying, you have to stay on the ground” she nodded in agreement and began to wait on the trail as I took off down the trail as fast as my legs would carry me, a huge smile across my face.

I made it to the waters where I had planned on fishing today but now my only goal was to hide. I looked across the waters and saw a small island barely 10 meters by 50 meters. Perfect, it’s big enough to hide on but small enough to be overlooked, I swam over and found a fallen tree, even better, I thought as I crawled inside and curled up. i laughed quietly thinking how she’d never find me here.

Back on the trail the time had elapsed and she immediately sniffed the air to get the scent of her prey, “hmmm he went towards the waters, of course he did” she giggled to herself and ran down the trail, within moments she was at the waters edge and sniffing the air. Her nose led her to the water, she looked up and saw the small island a dozen meters into the water, she smiled slyly and walked into the water for the surprise attack.

“What was that?” I thought to myself as I heard a few splashes, I looked outside but saw nothing so I curled up tighter beginning to worry she wasn’t the only predator out here. Suddenly I heard her beautiful voice, “oh where could my little human be? I’ve looked everywhere for him” as she spoke she gently bumped the log I was hiding in. oh crap I thought, maybe she didn’t know I was here, I hopped quietly, with a sudden and fast movement she lifted the log up in her maw. One of the open ends was in here maw making a straight shot to her pulsating warm and wet throat. She giggled as she tried to shake me loose lifting the log straight into the air.

“oh geez” I yelped as I lost my grip and stayed balled up as I fell straight onto her closed esophagus but she fixed that when I heard an audible gulp sound, before I had time to un curl I was landing in her stomach. She licked her lips and let out a content sign. “Found you” she exclaimed in joy. “Congratulations b-but did you have to swallow me” I said with slight panic in my voice. “Yes I did my tasty human, I said I’d get to do anything I want with you when I caught you” she giggled loudly with mixed laughter. “Okay but I’m still a little scared Lyra…..” my voice cracking slightly

“Don’t be sweety, there are no digestive acids in there and I didn’t hurt you last time did I?
“No but can I ask you something?

“What is it sweety?” she asked a little nervous. “Why do you keep eating me?” I asked with a blush across my face. “Oh…. Ummm that’s more of a personal question” she said with a light giggle. “Lyra, I am sitting inside your stomach, how much closer can I get to you? I think you can tell me personal things” I laughed to myself as I rubbed her stomach wall gently, making a murr echo through her body.
“When a dragon eat someone, it’s like… a special hug or a snuggle, it’s a bit weird I know but it also satisfies a predatory instinct to hunt and chase prey” she explained to me as she walked back up the trail towards my cabin.  “Okay that makes sense, but do you think you could let me out now? “ “Sorry little one, letting a small giggle escape, your mine for the next few hours so get comfortable” she said laughing to herself. “awwwww fine then but since we got time can you take me back to my cabin, just follow the trail, it leads straight to my cabin”  I told her. “I’m already heading there sweety” she said proudly.

“Wait a minute….how do you know where I live?!?!?” a surprised and shocked tone in my tone. “Um…..I’ve been watching you for a few…. “Days?” I added quickly “Weeks” she finished. “You’ve been stalking me for a few weeks??? That explains the feeling of being watched but why? I asked. “Well to be completely honest I was tracking a wolf pack for a snack when I caught your scent and had to take a peak, I did honestly consider eating you but as I watched you, I felt something. You had an innocent and honest aspect to you, I saw something good and noble in you and I became fascinated by you.”

She lost me at eat me “you were going to eat me?!!?? Like digestion and burning acids, that whole bit?” I asked in shock. “Oh calm down, you smelt delicious and I was right, she nuzzled her side where I was gently, “you are delicious “she said happily. “Well I am glad you didn’t eat m-…glad you didn’t digest me” I corrected my statement. She murred lightly at the touch of my hand on the wall of her stomach.

When we reached my cabinet had been over 2 hours. Lyra laid on her side and rubbed her belly lightly. Her shift caused me to roll over from my comfortable position. “Okay we are here” Lyra said. Suddenly her stomach contracted and the opening above me opened, I was forced upwards and into her slippery throat. The soft and squishy muscles forcing me into her waiting jaws along with a lot of saliva and drool. She leaned down and laid me on the ground in a large pool of drool. Large strands of spit hung from my arms and face as I got up. “Geez, this stuff really soaks in doesn’t it?” I said as I tried to clear it from my eyes. “Be glad I’m letting you out this way little human, there is another way to get out you know” she said with a giggle. To be honest I had no idea what she meant until she tilted her head towards her tail and then I understood. I shuddered slightly and was immediately thankful for all the drool. “on second thought it is quite warm and feels good on my skin” Lyra just giggled at me and licked me “glad you like it because I plan on getting you much wetter”, with that she gave me a playful wink and a full body lick, hard enough to make me stumble backwards. She pinned me down and licked me even more.

Eventually she let me up and spoke “so tell me about yourself, who built that cabin and where did you come from?” she asked with a bright look in her eyes. She was a very curious reptile. “um okay, well I live out here alone, I’m sure you knew that already” I said teasing the sneaky dragon “I made my cabin myself, took a while and it has a rustic look to it but I love it. Sadly I know next to nothing about my past, my first memories are of the orphanage. I do not know where I’m from…..i don’t even have a name but I live along in woods that no one ever ventures into so there is no need for names with no one to talk to….you’re the first intelligent life I’ve seen since the orphanage” I said, tones of gloom obvious in my voice. “You pour thing, well you can talk to me sweety, and your past isn’t important” she said as she ran a claw through my hair, it felt nice. “You must be good with your hands to be able to build something like that” she teased, adding a playful wink. I blushed but I was getting sleepy, “I’d ask if you want to come inside but I don’t think you would fit” I said, a small attempt at humor. “I’ll stay out here sweety” she said as she curled up, I felt bad for leaving her outside, yes she was a dragon and was used to sleeping outside but I couldn’t just leave her outside all alone, I knew how bad being alone was and just couldn’t stand it. I walked over to her, “hey Lyra, are you awake?” I asked quietly. “Yes little one, what is it?” she asked looking down at me curiously. “Would it be okay if I….slept out here with you?” I managed to say. Her eyes lit up at my request, she apparently hated being alone as much as I did. “My sweet human, I’d like that a lot” she said as she moved her tail to push me to her side, she curled up around me and murred loudly as I cuddled up to her warm side.

No snow fell and the skies were clear, even the heavy winds that blew down from the mountains and battered my cabin had gone tonight. The animals were also quiet, no wolves howled in the distance, the wise owl that lived in the nearby oak tree was silent, and the only sound was the deep thumps of her heart beating.
