Käti's P.O.V.
I ran as fast as I could out of the front door. I couldn't hear Carter following me...but then I couldn't hear anything except my heart threatening to beat out of my chest and my head screaming in pain.
I kept running past trees that all looked the same...A brief thought entered my mind. What if I got lost? What if I was being really stupid? Living in a nice house with a sexy guy isn't the worst thing that could happen to me....I shook my head and removed the thoughts from my mind.
I was running, and I would keep running until I lost Carter. I needed this. I needed time away...if it was just for a litle. I needed to sort out these emotions.
I started slowing down, trying to regain my breathing I bent over. Looking around slowly my eyes adjusted to the forest. I was in a circle of trees and it was starting to get dark, I realized with chagrin that I was barefoot...and in a dress.
Maybe I didn't think this the whole way through...But hey. I guess even assasins don't think clearly when there's this much emotional crap running through thier head's.
I sighed brushed my dark hair out of my face. I decided that I'd be safer up in one of the trees...that way Carter couldn't sneak up on me...or for that matter and wild animals.
I cautiously climbed up one of the pines, making sure not to break any branches and mapping out a way down for later.
I was glad I couldn't see myself as I gingerly made my way up the tree in a dress, barefoot and with a massive bruise/cut that I'd just stitched on my head. I knew I looked like a wreck.
As I reached closer to the top of the tree I sat on a sturdy limb and tried to make myself comfortable for the night. I heard a low rumble in the distance and frowned.
At first I thought it was my stomach. I hadn't eaten since this morning and it was almost night. But then I heard it again, this time it was louder. That was definently not my stomach.
That was thunder. I groaned, please don't rain I prayed as I watched the skies get dark faster than I could have imagined. A raindrop fell from the sky and landed on my nose.
Great...I thought to myself grumpily. More rain fell from the sky, one landed on my arm, another on my forehead reminding me of my pain. And then it started to pour.
My dress was no match for the weather, it was soaked in minutes and I was freezing. I started to shiver violently and in an attempt to shield myself I tried to scoot myself closer to the tree and under the branches.
My hand suddenly slipped from it's hold on the branch. I shrieked and caught myself. "That was close." I whispered as I moved my other hand to a more secure position.
Too late I realized that I had miscalculated and there was no secure hold where I had just put my hand. Just wet leaves. I slipped and this time I didn't catch myself. I screamed as I fell towards the ground.
Carter's P.O.V.
I didn't expect Käti to run right after she had finished stitching up her own head. And when she did I certainly didn't expect her to run outside into the woods. I figured she's just run to a different room...but when I heard the front door slam I jumped up and ran after her.
I stopped to grab my boots and a flashlight since it was getting dark. By the time I got outside she was already across the field her green dress disapeering into the woods. I cursed under my breath and started running after her.
"Käti!" I yelled after her. I knew she probably couldn't hear me. I started yelling at myself as I ran to catch up with her. I should have never have brought her here! But it's too late a voice said in my head.
I didn't mean to hurt her that badly...I didn't. She just wouldn't stop attacking me. Not that I can blame her. She's a trained assasin. It's in her blood to fight hard. I shook my head as I reached the forest and cautiosly proceeded.
I wanted to be prepared if Käti decided to attack me again. I could hear thunder in the distance and I started to walk faster looking around for any sign of Käti.
I turned on my flashlight as it was getting too dar for me to see anything. I heard a shriek suddenly. Käti. I started walking quickly towards where I had heard it. I stopped, looking around for her. I had heard her...right?
Suddenly a desperate scream pierced the air. I started running towards it. "Käti!" I yelled, frantic. When I reached the clearing what I saw made me sick to my stomach.
The rain was pouring now and I was soaked...but I didn't care. I rushed over to Käti. She was laying on the ground, the back of her head was bleeding and her eyes were closed. She looked peaceful....but I knew better.
My whole body was shaking as I felt for her pulse. It was faint but it was there. As I picked her up I wasn't sure if I was crying or if it was just the rain. I wouldn't have been surprised.
The thought of losing Käti made me sick to my stomach and right now I was feeling like someone was trying to rip my heart out. I laid her against my chest and put her head securely in the crook of my arm before I started running as carefully as I could back to the house.
"You're gonna be alright Käti, just stay with me. Don't leave me....you can't do that. I'm sorry. I am so sorry." I was sobbing as I laid her on the couch, I couldn't have cared who saw me like this. All I cared about was making sure Käti didn't die. I reached for my burner phone and dialed a number.
"I need your help! It's Käti..." I said quickly with emotion clouding my voice.
"Calm down...Carter what's wrong?" A deep voice asked over the phone.
I shook my head. I was freaking out and there was no calming down. "Just send a helicopter or something! She's dying! She hit her head...and I don't know what to do!"
'Shit..." The man cursed over the phone. "Carter I'll be there soon. Just hang on." He hung up and I threw my phone across the room rushing back over to Käti's side. I held her hand and was shocked to find it so cold.
She was freezing and her dress was soaked through. I immediatly grabbed the warmest blankets I could find and put them on her being careful not to move her. "Please....please be okay. I don't know what I'd do without you. Just be okay.....I promise. I will return you home. You just have to wake up. I promise....You just have to be okay...."
And.....THE END!!!!
JUST KIDDING!....GOSH THAT WOULD BE MEAN. So....
