never let me go.

chapter 9 the surprise arrival

It had been about six months without Detrius. I still think about him every night before I go to bed. I have nightmares a lot about him and the time I was attacked. On the bright side me and Caine have become great friends. He said he had something planned for me and I can't wait to see what it is. I got changed and headed to breakfast. Hercules and I always have breakfast together. Sometimes Caine is there but he wasn't today. After breakfast I went to the field to train. It had been another long day of random words and flames. The only thing about today is that Caine and I took razcar my dragon to the top of the mountain. He told me not to look as he went behind the huge tree. He came back and covered my eyes with a cloth of some sort. "Um how do I get over there now? I can't see anything." I laughed. "Like this." He said. He picked me up and carried me over to the tree. He set me down on the ground. "Ok untie it." He said. Before I untied it I thought about what it could be. Maybe a weapon or something like that. Or maybe he got me a dog or cat. I took off the blind fold and looked over. It was a picnic. He was sitting cross legged on the other side of the blanket. "Wow. I was not expecting this." I said looking at all the food. "Yea I figured you deserved it considering your training is almost over! Soon you will be able to go home! You have another month and then your done. You won't ever have to come back here again! Isn't it great!" He said. "Yea I guess so. Maybe not. I like it here. Its way better than new York less cars more amazingness. I Dont really want to leave I guess." I answered. The real reason I didn't want to leave was because Detrius was still gone. "Yea. I mean you can stay as long as you want too. But if it were me I would leave." He said looking at the sunset. "Look Niki there's something I need to ask you. Just one question. Is that Ok?" He asked. "Yea shoot." I replied. "Niki would you like to be my girlfriend?" He asked. It took me a second to realize what he said and then it hit me. "Wait what? No I'm sorry but no. First off and I mean no offense but I Dont like you that way and second I am already with someone. I'm sorry." I got up and went to my dragon. I looked back at him. He was sitting with his head down. I got on razcar and we flew down the mountain back to the training arena. I went inside and went to my room. I sat on my bed. I was thinking about how they made detrius leave. I took my pillow and screamed into it. Then I threw it at the door. All I could think about was what if he died and thats why he's not back yet. Or what if he's just missing and he will never be found. I tried to stand up but I fell onto the floor. I leaned up against the bed and was crying. I heard a knock on the door. I threw my shoes at it. "Go away. I-im busy." I said even though I knew they could hear my sobs. The door opened but I didn't look up. All of a sudden I felt arms surround me. I looked down at the hands. Detrius. I turned to look and I was so happy. I hugged him as tight as I could. I kept crying. They were happy tears. "I-i thought you were dead. I missed you so much!" I didn't let go of him. I could feel a tear every now and then fall on my face. He was crying too. I looked up at him. He was so happy to see me. Thats why he was crying. "Niki I'm so glad your still safe. I'm never leaving you again." He said. He kissed my forehead and then my lips. I leaned in. It felt nice to have him back. "Dont leave. Stay here tonight Ok. I want to spend time with you now that your home." I said to him. He smiled and I smiled back. He stood up and helped me get up. He sat down on the bed and I sat on his lap. He laid down with me on his chest. We talked all night. I was so tired that I didn't go to training that day. I just wanted to spend time with him now that he was back. He is never leaving again...or so I hope.
