Dimitri was used to waking up to the sounds of morning birds and the feeling of small bugs crawling on him but this was very different. He awoke to the sound of a coffee maker making it's brewing sound. He quickly rose up and saw Gavin at the coffee maker and James making breakfast. He quickly looked to the couch and saw you still asleep which made him feel more relieved. "Mornin'" James said. Dimitri then gently shook you to wake up. "Wake up, little one. It's the morning". Your eyes slowly opened and you stretched out your arms only for Dimitri to pick you up, but you closed your eyes again to sleep more. The sound of the small television on the counter was heard being turned on and it didn't bother anyone but what it was now showing was shocking.
"-from the lake. Whatever this creature is, it's horrifying and needs to be taken out".
"OH MY GOD" James yelled. Gavins eyes widened, Alex rushed downstairs with his gun thinking Dimitri was doing something horrible and Dimitri slithered over to see what the commotion was. The television was broadcasting breaking news... Of Dimitri! "We want to return your attention back to the startling video of this lake monster from last night. And, as we have mentioned before, the video your about to see is disturbing". The news then casted a horizontal video of Dimitri coming out of the water from last night and picking you up and going inside the cabin. It also caught the three men as well but it wasn't clear enough.
"That is pretty horrifying" the news anchor said, "This just in, one of our reporter's is at the scene where the video was recorded". Alex rushed over to the window and saw a camera crew and a reporter by the cabin and quickly alerted the others. "Guys! They're outside"!
"Shit"!
"Dimitri" James said quickly, "Take (Y/n) and go downstairs! Now"! Dimitri still held onto you and rushed down the stairs, following James's instructions and James shut the door behind Dimitri. The reporter was approaching the door and Alex opened the door but his gun was still in his hand. "Alex" James yelled and rushed over and disarmed him. "Put that down"!
"I'm sorry" the reporter said and was still inching closer to the door with the camera crew still filming. "We apologize if we startled you both but were here to see if we can spot the monster from the lake. Have you ever noticed anything"?
"The only thing I'm noticing is you trespassing on my property" Alex said in an intimidating way. James only faked a laugh and pushed Alex away from the door. "No. We haven't noticed anything".
"Who're these assholes" Alex yelled as he looked out the window. There were people setting up tents by the shore and people filming on their phones. The news camera crew walked away to interview other people and James slammed the door shut. "What're we gonna do" Gavin said trying to remain calm.
"Think" Alex yelled to Gavin. "You're the smart one"!
"I don't know"!
"Alright" James yelled, "Let's all chill out. As long as he's in here, he's safe".
"But we can't continue doing our tests since this whole area is crawling with people now"!
"Just let me go out there and shoot 'em" Alex said which only resulted in James keeping his gun out of reach. "You know that's not happening, you psychopath! Shut the curtains, lock the windows and keep that door locked". Gavin and Alex went to do said task and James quickly went downstairs to see if you and Dimitri were ok and stopped at what he was witnessing. Dimitri was leaned up against the wall and was gently rocking you back and forth and you were asleep again. James still came down the stairs and when Dimitri already knew he was there, it didn't startle him.
"What has happened" Dimitri asked quietly.
"People now know you exist. They're looking for you". Dimitri stopped rocking you and remained frozen in shock. "How" was all he could utter.
"Someone was out on the lake last night and recorded a video of you". Dimitri was still silent. "But don't worry, were not gonna let anything happen to you-"
"No" Dimitri said interrupting him. "I've caused enough problems". Dimitri looked down at you and gently brushed your hair out of your face. "I made a promise to protect her and now I can't keep her protected". Dimitris eyes started to water up. "I'm so sorry, little one. I failed you-"
"You didn't fail. You did the best you could do and you still continue to do so". James reached out and placed a hand on his shouler. It wasn't the first time that James had actually been able to touch him and to Dimitri, it was another nice feeling other than a needle taking his blood. "I promise you, you didn't fail". Dimitri still held onto you and looked at James for a moment. "Do you care for her as much as I do"?
"Of course. Why"?
"I wish to make sure" Dimitri said quietly. James was about to ask another question but Gavin and Alex were heard arguing upstairs and James had to excuse himself to make sure they wouldn't fight, leaving Dimitri alone with you. All of the things in the basement were already explained to Dimitri. Gavin is trying to find the genetic link between snakes and humans to discover on how the species of Nagas is even possible. The red tubes are from snakes and human blood donors, the live and dead snakes are for different tests and the big board with the map showed all the possible places where Dimitri could be living.
The three men were hesitant to tell him that but when they did, Dimitri was surprisingly calm about it and understood why. He knows that people would be afraid of him but to have, now, more than one person see him differently other than a monster, made him start to think more on the subject. But he couldn't forget what was happening outside and to what James just said. People now know he exists and want to possibly kill him or steal him away, leaving you unprotected. Once again, Dimitri looked down at you.
"I made a promise to you" he whispered to you as you were still asleep. "But I can't stay here. They'll keep you safe. My beautiful and precious child, I'm so sorry". Dimitri then gently kissed your head. "I love you, so much".
