Saved

This is not how I imagined a criminal to be

Fear struck through Alex's eyes. His deep blue eyes. But that didn't matter. My stomach was bleeding, it felt like a hundred people with long nails were clawing at my stomach, trying to find treasure in the heart of my abdomen. Too bad for them there was no treasure, only blood.

My hands covered my abdomen, trying to stop the blood from coming out but it was useless. What came next was even horrible.

Stupid me, loosening my grip in Alex to cover my stomach. My head fell back and my arms followed. My whole body was off the dragon now, and I was plummeting towards the ground. This is it, this is how I die. I tried pushing myself in an upright position, I didn't want to be upside down, looking at what would kill me.

Dear Mum and Dad, thanks for brining me to life. But to be honest, my life was worthless. It's just one bad thing after another. Or it was.

My head was spinning, counting down the seconds till I die.

I mean, I'm sorry for being ungrateful, but I'm plummeting to my death.

Dear The Witch, thanks for being a great person. Only joking.

Dear my so called other parents, you should get an Oscar for being such great actors and liars.

Dear Alex, thanks for saving me. I've never met someone as handsome as you.

Dear the person who shot me, great aim.

And finally dear me, oh dear me. Stop trying. Just give up.

I closed my eyes, I mean come on.

But instead of me plummeting, something grabbed me. ALEX! I smiled, with everything happening, I smiled. I looked up. This wasn't Alex. This was..... The guy who shot me. And this wasn't a dragon. We were in a small fighter plane. Oh no. Retreat retreat retreat. I tried jumping off. He grabbed me.

'Get off of me!'

'Hey hey hey. Stop. I'm trying to save you.'

The stranger was attractive. Hazel eyes, sandy hair, my age. But this was wrong. He tried to kill me.

'You tried to kill me!'

'No. I shot you in a place where you can't get hurt.'

'Your crazy! I'm jumping off, you lunatic!'

I escalated myself to go over the plane, but the kid wouldn't give up. He pulled me close with fire in his eyes.

'You jump, and I shoot him.'

No, not Alex.

'Don't you dare!' I tried to lift myself but he grabbed the gun. He pointed it at Alex.

Grab.

Aim.

Pull.

Release.
