Drako wanted to make sure that Anastasia understood everything that he needed for dinner.
"You have the shopping list, the basket, and you have Impala." He asked Anastasia. He patted her leg as she mounted Impala.
"Yes Drako, I will see you in a few minutes." Anastasia said. Then she took off with Impala.
***
Impala landed with a thumb on the floor, in front of Walmart.
"Go back to Drako. I will call you I need you when I am done." Anastasia commanded Impala.
Anastasia walked into Walmart. She noticed that it was empty, There was just the chaser. She did not mind because it was a Sunday morning and people would be having breakfest or still sleeping. Anastasia took out her shopping list that Drako wrote for her. On the list said:
Chili
-beans
-Tomato paste
-Minced meat
-Chili
-Onion
-Oil
Anastasia grabbed a can on beans, tomato paste, fresh Chili, Fresh Onions, and Oil. On her way to the meat section. See saw that the Minced meat was out. She went to the cashier and asked,
"Do you have minced meat left?"
"Um, no ma'am. But I can get you a frozen one." The person at the cashier replied.
Anastasia read the name tag. Samuel. That name sound strangely familiar.
"Yes please." Anastasia told the man.
The man named Samuel, went to the back storage room. Then he came back with a frozen packet of minced meat.
"Like to pay now?" Samuel said, as he handed Anastasia the meat packet.
"Yes please," Anastasia said, as she started taking all the groceries out of her shopping basket.
Samuel scanned every single item. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,beep. Every item was scanned. Samuel tipped in the price. Anastasia payed.
"Thank you for coming. " Samuel waved good bye to Anastasia.
"Hold up. Do we know each other?" Anastasia asked Samuel.
Samuel leaned in and whispered into Anastasia ear. "Yes we do."
Samuel pushed Anastasia to the ground. Anastasia caught her self with her hands. Then Samuel pulled out a sharp knife, and pointed it to her chin. You mite think that she could have scooted back and got up, but she could not. If she would move than the knife would have gone directly up her chin.
"You shouldn't be alive," said Samuel.
He nudged the tip of the knife closer to Anastasia chin. She could feel the tip on her chin. Anastasia held her breath. If she would take a breath then she would have stabbed her self in the chin. Anastasia tried to feel for her dagger, she found the grip. She quickly snatched it out, and with the end of it Anastasia butted him with it on the chin. Samuel's head shot back, and he landed on the floor. That gave Anastasia enough time to stand up and breath again. She put her dagger back into the pocket where it lived. Samuel had head trauma. The blood was dripping down from the wound. He looked mad. Samuel charged at Anastasia. He was about to stab her, but then she ducked and he crashed against a basket of oranges. Samuel got up and started to walk to ward Anastasia. Anastasia had her back turned to him and pretended that she did not notice him. Once Samuel was close enough, Anastasia turned unexpectedly, and did the same move she did when Drako scared her. She pushed Samuel on to a wall where he hit his head really hard against it. Then Samuel rested on Anastasia hand. Anastasia knew instantly that he was dead, so she let him go. Instantly he collapsed onto the floor.
To be nice, Anastasia picked up the oranges, she put them back on their display basket. Next, she put up the display to make it look the same. Everything looked good as new. Anastasia picked up the last orange. When she was bending down she did not notice that from behind her Samuel was sneaking up, to get her back. Samuel quickly grabbed her and push her to the exact wall that, he pretended to be dead. The knife was at Anastasia throat. Samuel quickly grabbed Anastasia dagger and threw it across the room. Quickly Samuel took a smaller knife and cut Anastasia on the top of the nose. Ow. Anastasia stiffened up. It hurt because it cut into some of the cartilage. Why would Drako do this to me. He is so nice. Anastasia as the cut stung.
Suddenly, Samuel got thrown back and hit another wall. Then he started to to float. It was not clear for Anastasia to see. She quickly rubbed her eyes, and saw that Drako was lifting him up bye his shirt. Then everything when black. Anastasia collapsed.

"Pick on someone your own size," Drako said. Then he dropped Samuel.
Samuel ran out the store toward the nearest camp, that can take him to the boss. Drako searched for the dagger. It was easy to find because black smoke was coming out of a apple. The dagger was sucking away the apples soul. Drako collected and rushed over to Anastasia. He knelt down next to her. He touched her head. It was a baking temperature. Draco noticed that the wound on her nose had a periwinkle coating on it, that meant that the knife that cut her had poison on it. Draco put the dagger back into her pocket, and carried Anastasia toward the outside of Walmart. Draco placed Anastasia onto the neck of Impala.
"Do your job girl." Draco said. He patted Impala on the neck.
Impala spit a big flame to ward the shop. It burned done into flames. Draco climbed on top of Impala and they flew off back toward the cave house.
***
Impala landed on the ledge where Draco and Anastasia first met. Draco was scared to loose Anastasia. She was such a good friend. Draco ran inside with Anastasia in his arms. He ran to Anastasia room. He gently laid her on the bed and covered her up with the bed sheets. Then he ran to the phone in his room. Draco entered his moms underworld number. Draco never called her because she died a long time ago.
Please pick up mom, please.
"This is the voicemail of Adrienne Black. I will try to get back to you as quick as I can. Please leave a message after the beep. Beep." The phone whispered into Draco's ear.
"Hi mom, Um so if you remember me, it's Draco. So I have this friend and... well they are currently dying. If you don't mind can you help me, heal them." Draco spoke into the phone.
