Don't push me off the edge.

Twenty four

**** Emma's P.O.V****

I tried to run faster but my legs wouldn't let me. I was only frozen in place, but what made me be able to move was a gun shot, aiming right at me.

I pushed Derek out of the way knocking him to the floor, I stumbled, losing my balance. And blood came from my upper arm. I wasn't shot, just nicked. It didn't hurt very much honestly.

I grabbed Derek's arm and pulled him up, a shot of pain filled my arm. The girl was reloading her gun, assuming she used her other bullets on the dragon, which seemed to not take much affect. I grabbed the handle and turned it, locked. Why in the hell was it locked? 

No! No! No! No! Please no!

I kept trying to turn the handle, hoping I was just wrong. I saw the dead bolt above the handle and turned it. Hands shaking and heart racing so much I felt like I would pass out in any moment. It finally unlocked and I busted through the door, running like hell with Derek behind me. 

No one came out of the building, Dragon took care of them hopefully. But we managed to escape, I was only able to get outside the door and a little farther before I fell to the floor. I was bleeding to much and was losing blood fast.

" Emma!" Derek ran over to me trying to get me up.

" I'm bleeding to much, just go. I'll catch up I swear." I refused to stand because I knew I would just fall again, I might not be able to make it back to his house or wherever. But at least it would be a distraction.

" You're coming with me," He put his left arm behind my knees and his right on my back, lifting me up into a princess hold type of thing.

 " Put me . . . Down" I felt my eyes starting to close, I struggled to keep them open, But I managed to for a bit longer. He started running," You're going to get yourself killed." I said.

" That's just a risk I'm going to have to take." He said, panting for breath, we were far away from the building at this point. You could see the top of the building and that was the last thing I saw before my eyes started to close, last thing I heard was Derek's voice saying " Not yet, come on just a little longer Emma!" But I couldn't make it.

I could feel Derek's hear beating fast, he was running pretty fast but he was progressing the more he ran. I could hear him say " Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! Dammit" Over and over again, and I could feel us stop and a door opening. I couldn't tell if we were at his house or not, it wasn't really the best place to be either.
