never let me go.

chapter 15 its not over

I kept fighting back. They had their hand over my mouth. I bit down and they let go. I turned around. It was Detrius. He looked up at me and realised who I was. He came and hugged me. I hugged him back. It was only brief. I let go and smiled a little. He had a few cuts on him but I saw that he had been using arrows. I had been using knives so it was more difficult. I still had a knife in my side. I could feel it but he didn't notice. I looked behind him and saw a wolf about to attack him. I pushed him out of the way and threw the knives into the wolf's face. It fell back and I stabbed into its head with my knife. Detrius was fighting off the wolves below him with his bow and arrows. As I was watching Detrius another wolf jumped up and pushed me off of razcars back. I hit the ground hard. The wolf jumped down onto me and that made it worse. The knife that was still stuck in my ribs pushed in harder. I screamed a bit. The wolf noticed the knife and took it with its teeth and twisted it. I screamed again. It pulled it out and stabbed it back in the same spot. I screamed again. I had no weapons. When he pushed me off I had dropped my knives. I started punching it in the nose. No use. When I tried again it grabbed onto my hand in its teeth. It bit down and crushed my fist. All of a sudden it dropped onto me and pushed in the knife even more. I screamed and ripped my hand out of its mouth. I couldn't move or else the knife would rip my ribs apart. I stayed there. As I layed there the noise of the fighting started to die down. I started to hear cheers and people laughing. I layed there listening to them. I was in a lot of pain so it hurt to laugh. I had been laying there for about twenty minutes. They had been getting rid of the bodies. I could tell because of all the dragging sounds and grunting. All of a sudden they dragged the wolf body off of me. It ripped the knife through my ribs and it hurt like hell but I didn't scream again because my throat hurt too much already. After they pulled the body away I stood up. One of them came and helped me. I looked up and it turned out to be Caine. He smiled and I smiled back. "So how you feelin' now?" He asked sarcastically. "Ok just great. How about you?" I asked back. He laughed. "Great just absolutely great." He answered. I stopped. "Oh just a sec." He let go and watched what I was doing. He saw the knife in my side. I pulled it out with a wince. He flinched. "How did you do that on your own!?" He said staring at the big gauge in my side. "Eh you get used to it when it happens a lot." I answered with a laugh. He laughed at me and then we walked up to the stairs. "Oh wait I gotta grab something." I said. I ran over to where my tiger was. It wasn't in attack mode anymore. I hopped on it and rode it over to Caine. He hopped on and we rode it up the stairs. I put it back into the weapon room in its big case. We walked out into the hall. "Ok well I have to go find Detrius." I told him. He nodded and went the other way. I walked back to my room. The door was open a little. I walked in and Detrius was sitting on the edge of the bed. "Hey." I said a little quietly. He looked up and then ran over to me. He hugged me. I felt something dig in to my back. I winced and he let go. He looked me over and saw all the blood. "Turn around." He told me. I turned. "Niki there is a knife sticking out of your back. Let's go and get that taken out in the hospital." He said. "No just pull it." I said. "Are you sure Niki?" He asked. I nodded. I put my hand on the door and braced myself. "Ready?" He asked. "Yep." I said. He pulled it out. I winced a bit. 'How did that not hurt you?" He asked. "I have been pulling knives out of my ribs this whole time. That was the most minor one I have had yet." I pulled off my shirt and showed him all the holes in my rib cage. "Ok Niki let's go down to the hospital and get you fixed up. This time I'll make sure you can stay here instead of in there so we can be together. Im never leaving you alone again." He said looking into my eyes. "Alright. Let's go." I said. I went to open the door and remembered my hand was crushed. It hurt more than the knives did. I yelped and detrius looked down at my hand. It was purple. He grabbed the door knob and let me out. As we walked down the hall Hercules came around the corner. He saw us and came running. Detrius held his hands up in front of me. I didn't have my shirt on anymore but I still had my bra which was good enough. He looked at my ribs and my hand and saw why Detrius blocked me. "Hey you guys gonna be Ok?" He asked. "Yea just on our way to the hospital so that I can get wrapped up. How about you?" I asked back. "I'm good. Just helping out with the bodies and stuff. I have to get going but I'll see you in a bit. Alright?" He answered. "Alright see ya." We headed to the hospital and talked the whole way there.
