It had been a few weeks now since Mona and friends had met Atalanta the unicorn that lived in the forests near the city. As promised they did go back at least once a week to visit.
However right now Mona was at home with her dog Nova just sitting back and watching TV. Mona smiled as she petted Nova and yawned a pit. She soon nodded off to sleep without realizing it.
Mean while a rather shady person had made his way into the apartment complex, he held a red Gas Can full of gasoline. He gave a sick smile as he quickly opened it and poured it all over the floor. Tossing the can he then lit a lighter and tossed it and ran out of the building. He then found a place to hide to watch it the building to go up in flames. He had picked the building at random and did not care if there was anyone inside.
The fire quickly spread and smoke started to fill the building and those inside started to panic.
Nova smelt the fire and ran over to the door of Mona's room and started to bark and growl, she ran back over to Mona and started paw at her barking and whining trying to wake her up.
Mona was roused from her nap, "Hmmm What..." She said with a yawn as she stood up from the small couch she had been sitting on. Nova ran back to the door and started to bark and growl again. Mona blinked as she then walked over to the door and opened it. Only to be greeted by thick smoke. Mona started coughing and ran into the hallway "Fire.... FIRE!!!" Mona said as she then started to pound on her neighbors doors just in case they have not noticed yet. Her neighbors then came out and they ran to the stairs to try and get out but flames had engulfed the lower floors. "The roof! Hurry!" Mona said as she started to head that way. " Nova come!" she called out and Nova soon was at her side.
It did not take long for Mona and her neighbors to reach the roof of the burning, where everyone started to call out for help, " HELP!!!" Mona cried out at the top of her lungs.
Not to far from Mona's apartment was Derek, he had gotten the guts to try and ask Mona out. Mostly from Lucy nagging him over and over. " Ok.. I.. I can do this.. Derek said to himself, he was so nervous he has had a crush on Mona for some time now.. But he was unsure if she had feelings for him.. So this would be so awkward if she said no.. But Lucy was right he had to try and take that step.. Otherwise things would go now where... Suddenly police cars went zooming by, the young half fairy looked up and his heart started to race. The glow of fire could be seen and it was in the direction of Mona's apartment.... No... Please no.." Derek said as he took off in a mad dash, his worst fear was soon realized. It was Mona's apartment that was on fire, he hoped she was not in there... But soon heard her voice calling for help.
Derek looked up with pure terror to see Mona as well as others up on the roof. He had to do something.. He had to save her! Derek then threw off his jacket and magic started to swirl around him. Light green colored glowing green wings where now seen, Derek's looks became more defined and his ears pointed. His hair also changed a bit, it was a lighter green now and seem to have a slight glow. Derek then took to the air, over to the roof of the burning building.
Mona gasped when she saw Derek had changed to his fairy form. She never had seen it the whole time she knew him, "Derek! Get the kids off first!" Mona said. Derek nodded as he then picked up two small children and flew off. Mona hugged Nova close to her. There where lots of people on this roof top.. Would Derek be able to get them all off in time?
Derek set the kids down and flew back up to the roof, he wanted to get Mona off but she asked him to help the her neighbors first. Ugh so many people! There was no way he could get them all down in time by himself!! Just as if some divine being heard his thoughts someone new came to the scene. A girl in blue came, a first look Derek thought she was another fairy but that was not the case. "Looks like you could use some help! Come on lets get these people down." said the masked hero as she also started to pick people up and take them off the roof.
Derek nodded, grateful for the help now to get Mona and Nova off the roof. "Mona! Come on!" Derek said, Mona nodded as she reached out to Derek while holding Nova, soon both Mona and Nova where safe on the ground. But Derek was not done, he flew back up to help get the rest down. Thanks to the new hero they where able to get everyone done faster. But the fire still raged, it was time to put it out!
Derek stood in front of the burning building he then started to use earth magic. Thick vines shot up from the earth around the building then wrapped around it closing off air to the fire. Derek then took a few steps back as he let out a exhausted breath. The girl in blue landed next to him giving a whistle, "Nice! Very well done. Looks like this could be the start of a new hero." She said. Derek gave a weak smile. " Ha... No this was just a one time thing.. Not really the hero type.." Derek said. Yeah he only stepped in because Mona was in danger.. A true Hero steps in for strangers, not just people they know. The blue hero smiled and nodded, " Ahh I see.. Well sometimes you may not choose the hero life... Sometimes its chooses you.." The hero said as if that is what happened to her. "Anyway I am Dragonfly, it was good working with you, see ya." Dragonfly said before she flew away into the night.
"Chooses you huh. Nah I'm just a baker.." Derek said with a sigh as he turned to look at the vines he had put around the building, he looked behind first before doing anything and saw some dumbfounded firefighters, hahaha he kinda did their job.. Oops.. Oh well. He then looked back at the building and started to make the vines sink back into the earth.
He then stepped back looking at the scorched building, Looked like the fire stayed on the first floor mostly.. Perhaps it could be saved? He was no expert though. Soon the police and firefighters move in to start their jobs. Derek walked over to Mona, who was sitting down petting Nova. There where tears in her eyes, she looked to be in shock. Derek knelt down placing a hand on her shoulder. " Mona?" He asked in a gentle tone.
Mona snapped out of her daze when Derek spoke, tears then flooded down her cheeks as she then latched onto Derek as she started to cry uncontrollably. Derek's eyes grew wide as he was not expecting that. But he wrapped his arms around Mona hugging her close. Though he kept silent as she cried unsure what to say to her... There was nothing he could say really.. But just to let her cry it out and hold her till she was able to calm down. Nova whimpered as she stayed by Mona's side trying to comfort her human.
As he hugged her, Derek suddenly felt uneasy as if someone was staring him down with malice. Derek tried to remain calm so not to stress Mona anymore then she already was. He looked around the area though but was not able to spot anyone who may be looking directly at him.
Soon after they where approached by medics and officers who wanted to check on them and make sure they where ok. As the medics checked them over the officers asked them both questions. Mona once she had calmed down answered the questions the best she could about everything that had happened up to the point Derek and Dragonfly saved everyone.
After that Derek called home and told Granny what happened, she stayed calm and said she was coming to pick them up and Mona could stay at their house for the time being. ( she was not taking no for a answer ether). Soon Granny was there in her car. She hopped out running over and embracing both Mona and Derek crying tears of joy they where both alright. The three of them got into the car and drove off.
The rest of the night Granny took care of Mona's needs helping with her frazzled nerves, it was late at night when she laid down in bed and went to sleep with Nova at her side. Derek also had stayed up unable to sleep till he knew Mona had calmed down. So once she was settled he also went to bed and Granny also soon after.
