Dagger
"You're so stupid." I placed my hand over my throbbing head, "Why would you do that?" I moaned, and slowly picked myself up to find Nox's unconscious body laying on the sidewalk, "Aw, fuck." I knelt down beside her, and shook her, "Hey, hey," I called. She moaned as she opened her eyes, "Can you get up?" I asked. She placed her arm on the floor, but quickly began to scream. I looked down at her leg and saw a metal pipe had gone through her thigh, "Alright," I panicked, "Should I take your leg out?" I grabbed her ankle, "This is gonna hurt a lot, get ready."
"Wait, wait," She stopped me, "Why are you doing this? Leave me here."
"I can't. I'll take you somewhere safe."
"By safe you mean jail?"
"No, I'm not taking you to jail. I need to get you out of here." I begged. Then police sirens were approaching from a distance, "Go, Dagger! Get out of here!" She yelled, "No, I'm not leaving you here." I lifted her leg up in one go. She let out an exaggerated scream. I wrapped my arm around her waist as we both limped through the streets when a stinging feeling came to my leg. I bit my lip and kept walking, "You alright?" She asked."Yeah, I'm fine."
"Where are we going?""I don't know, but you can't be seen with me. I know a place. A complex." I answered. We snuck in through the window. I don't know if bringing her to my apartment was a good idea. I sat her on the couch, and limped to the bathroom to look for stitches. I sat down in front of her, "This is gonna hurt like a bitch, you ready?" She nodded. I started stitching, "Why didn't you kill me? You can tell who I am from right now."
"I'm not a curious person," I shrugged.
I noticed a small cut revealing from the rip of her top, "Who did this to you?" I asked and ran my fingers along it, "You can kill me right now. Do it." She demanded.
"No," I answered, "Who did this to you?" I asked again.
"My brother." She answered as I stitched for the last time..
"You didn't get along with him?"
"Why do you care? I thought you weren't curious." I laughed at her comment, "You can stay here if you'd like. I'll go someplace else, that alright?" She nodded, "Do you have any idea who would do this?" I asked. She shook her head, "Come on, Nox. Don't make this harder." I begged."I'm not stupid enough to carry out a plan where I get hurt" I sighed and lifted myself up, "Want anything?" I asked, "Water, please."
I went into the kitchen, filled the glass, but when I was about to give it to her, I realized she was gone.
I knocked on Lilac's door when she answered, "Sorry, I" I fell into her hands.
"Sunny, Sunny,"
