A Wish Upon A Star

Chapter 5: Look After You

Nikki's P.O.V.

I was having a terrifying nightmare when somebody's soft voice woke me up. I shot my eyes open to see a chest. I instantly got as far away from the person as I could without falling into the floor. It was just my reflexes from my fear of my nightmare.

"Shh...Shh...Nicole, it's okay. It's just me, Drew." I recognized Drew's voice.

Once I heard his voice, I knew I was safe.

I realized I was crying when I wiped my hair away from my face. I hugged my body tightly, thinking about my nightmare. So much blood, so much violence. 

Drew spoke again, "Nicole, it's okay. It's just a dream." I looked up at him quickly.

"But what if it comes true?" I asked, still crying.

"It won't I can assure you that. You're safe with me. I'll look after you. Just forget about it. Now, c'mere." He motioned his hands towards himself. I scooted over to him, very slowly. Once I reached him, he pulled me into a comforting hug. While I cried silently into his shoulder, he ran his fingers through my hair. He spoke softly, 

"Nicole, don't cry. Shh... It's okay." His embrace is some-what calming me down and his voice seems some-how soothing. It's just that... how did my wish change everything into something bad? My dream was about my wish and being captured. Why don't we just go to Bond headquarters? I'm assuming there is one.

"Why can't we go to Bond headquarters?" I whispered and lifted my head to look Drew in the eyes. He answered, "The Wanted are going to know where you're at. The only reason we put your family and close friends there is to train them. We need more people than the Megdallons."

"Oh, um, are you gonna have to, um, train me?" I stopped crying and wiped my eyes.

"I will, but right now I have to hide you. The Wanted probably don't know about Drake yet, but they eventually will. Trust me, and what if they hire Drake for their work? You never know... They, also, will find out anything and everything about you. I'm highly trained, so I know almost everything about them."

"What if they find me? What if Drake is going to be on their side or something? No! Why do they even want me?" I cried. Great, bring on the tears again. He rubbed my back and sighed.

"It's a long story, but to cut it short, you have a power. You know how you wished for something and it came true?" I nodded and set my head back on his shoulder. This is a bit awkward for me considering I only met him today, but I need someone to comfort me right now.

"Well, you're a wisher. That means when you speak a wish, it will come true. I know all about this stuff, so ask me anything you want about it." What even? How is this even possible? Okay, first he tells me some weird looking things are real and now I'm a "wisher"?

"What do you even mean? If I can wish for anything and it come true, why don't I just wish that everything was back to normal?" I raise my head and look at him. He looks back at me with tired eyes.

"It's not that simple, Nicole. You can't wish for something like that right now. The Wanted have put some kind of spell over the world to prevent you from wishing anything during this time since they are trying to locate you and capture you. Do you understand that? This is a dangerous situation." He said.

"I guess I understand that now. Thanks for explaining. This is hard for me. What are we going to do in the morning?"

"We'll get disguises. The Wanted know what you and I look like. Also, we're gonna have to get a hotel room soon, so tell that guy, you're gonna have to go or something. Now-"

"'That guy' is named Drake. Okay?" I got slightly offended when he called Drake 'that guy'. I mean, he does have a name.

He looked at me with an apologentic look. "Okay. Tell Drake you're going to leave. Now, we need to get back to sleep. We have to wake up early and if Drake find me, there's no telling what will happen. I have to sneak out because nobody needs to see me."

"Alright, Drew. Goodnight and thanks again."

"'Night, Nikki. You're welcome." He smiled and didn't move at all. 

"Um, wait, uh, can I still, erm, hug, uh, onto you?" I nervously laughed.

"Sure. It doesn't bother me." He replied and I let go of him so he could get comfortable. I hugged onto him again and laid my head on hid chest. I, then, tried sleeping again. Let's hope I don't have another nightmare... *shudders*

Unknown's P.O.V.

Nicole and Andrew. Andrew and Nicole. They think they're smart. Ah, they crack me up. If you haven't guessed already, I work for The Wanted. Now, don't get me wrong, I know what I'm doing is not at all nice, but I'm ready for some action. Andrew and Nicole have no idea who I am. Nobody does, except The Wanted. Those two are in for a real surprise real soon. This game has only just begun. The Wanted will capture Nicole and get what they want from her. I'm not a Megdallon, you see. I'm just hired to work for them. You'll soon find out who I am. It'll be a real, how do I put this, let's say, it'll be a real SHOCKER to all of you. Now, don't worry. Nicole and her "team" will be safe if she           co-operates with us. If she doesn't, now that would be terrible, wouldn't it? You may not know who I am, yet, but just think about this: I. AM. DETERMINED. TO. WIN. THIS. GAME. It doesn't matter how many people I have to hurt, I. WON'T. STOP. Now, here's a little "clue" as to who I am: 

Nicole is not far,

You're thinking I'm bizarre.

I'm closer than you think.

I'm their missing link.

If Drew finds me,

he's not going to like what he'll see.

He's already falling for her,

but hasn't she fallen for another?

*** Good Luck! *evil laugh* MWUAHHAHAHAHAMWUAHHAHAHAHAHA
