at bay.
    Holding the girl, Bree took a running start, leaping above the flames higher than humanly possible. Reaching the edge of the stage where the other two girls clung to Ty, Bree realized the crowd had dissolved into all out pandemonium.
    On the stage, Donovan ran in circles screaming shrilly for help, though he was in no danger. The idiot.
    “Take them,” Ty stated. “I have a job to do.” He pushed the other two singers unceremoniously at Bree before disappearing into the crowd.
    Ricky, the drummer, hurried to Kari’s side, clutching her protectively and looking around as if in a daze. “What happened, Bree?”
    “I don’t know. Take the girls -- I need to help get this fire out.” She spun and headed to the blaze growing at the back of the stage. Making sure no one was paying attention, Bree took a deep breath.
    Above her a piercing screech rang out. Bree stumbled. High in the dark night sky, as if in a dance, two enormous dragons circled in the air. The larger one, pure white scales shimmering in the moonlight, whipped a long spiked tail at the other. The smaller dragon was a dark gray green, overlaid with dingy, oily smoke.
    Bree’s heart stuttered as she took in the sight.
    Sure, Ty had said he was dragon. Staring at the beautiful white creature above her, she knew with certainty it was him.
    Could only be him.

Chapter Three

    Ty swooped through the air, currents pushing him higher above the stadium. The Other, a dragon of dark magic, bellowed as it dove, scraping claws along one of Ty’s unprotected wings.
    He roared in fury, wanting to breathe fire at the creature, but the move was too dangerous with all the people beneath them. Twisting in the air, Ty slammed the spikes at the end of his tail against the creature’s side. It screamed in pain.
    Not pain.
    Green eyes wide, the Other opened its mouth and blew evil black flames.
    Ty bucked, using the air currents to dodge the powerful, debilitating fire. Teeth nipped his leg. He raked claws down the dragon’s side, then flapped his wings, lifting above the creature.
    Folding his wings, Ty dove through the air. He crashed into the Other, pushing it away from the stadium.
    It shrieked, trying to get around him and return to the chaos that was the concert. Ty dove, twisting and clawing, trying to keep those below safe.

    Bree stood frozen as the large white dragon pushed the other one further from the stadium. Someone shouted her name, bringing her back to the stage. The flames were drawing closer.
    Raising her hands, she concentrated on her inner being. Slowly, her vision changed, sharpening her focus. The air became a colorful array of reds, yellows and oranges. Heat and fire.
    Taking a step closer, Bree drew the colors into herself. The heat burned along her skin, her arms, slipping beneath her clothes and moving over her chest, stomach and legs.
    But it felt good, right.
    Adrenaline rushed as power flowed into her body. She felt as if she might burst, grow wings and fly with the dragons fighting above.
    * * *
    Ty drove the Other further from the stadium, then reared back, preparing to blast the unnatural thing from the sky.
    As he bellowed at the creature, it stopped moving and plummeted toward the barren desert far below.
    Ty tucked his wings close and dove after it. As the shadows passed, the Other disappeared.
    Not bothering to search for the thing, probably called back by the evil mage who’d summoned it, Ty put on a burst of speed, hurtling through the air back to the stadium.
    Back to Bree.
    Bree, who had to be safe.
    She just had to be.

    Directly in front of Bree, the fire flared, flames growing higher, which shouldn’t be possible. A tall, hooded figure strode into the flames, unconcerned.
    Another nymph? Here? Now?
    The power radiating from the figure didn’t feel like her own. It was darker, somehow, sending a slimy, icy coating of sweat breaking out over her face.
    “You,” the figure whispered.
    Bree couldn’t tell if it
