The Dead Mate

Chapter 6

I ran as fast as I could. Somehow I lost Justin, Sarah, Kevin, and James. Me and Derek held hands as we ran. I looked back to see four wolves fighting the bear. I screamed once I saw the bear claw at a wolves shoulder. I ran towards them and was almost there when I heard a bear behind me, I spun around to see Derek right next to a bear. I looked to the wolves and then to Derek, wondering who I should go to, who I would be saddest for of they died. I spun around and ran to Derek. Derek was trying to fight it but I knew that that just made the bear more angry. I grabbed Derek's arm and ran away from the bear. We were about fifty feet away from the bear when Derek started to slow down. "Hurry up, Derek!" I yelled as I dragged him. He grunted in pain which made me look at him. His face was covered with blood and some blood was dripping from his head and stomach. "Nikki? I-I l-love you" he said as if this was his time to die. "Don't you dare die on me, Derek!" I yelled with tears streaming down my face. "I'll try not to" he smiled at me. I then used all the strength I had to lift him up and carry him bridal style. It was hard but I'll manage as long as Derek doesn't die. I then started to run as fast as I could to the hospital. "No hospital! Carry me home" he said once we were close to the hospital. I sighed and went home. I fumbled with the house keys before opening the door and rushing in to put him down on the dining table. I ran to the bathroom to get the medical supplies. Once I rushed back I heard him grunt from the pain which made my heart break. I ripped his shirt off and started to get the supplies ready. I cleaned his cut which made him wince a lot which also made my hands more shaky. "I'm trying Derek! I'm really trying!" I cried once he winced again. He nodded and grunted in response. His cut was deep and he was losing a lot of blood but I knew how to fix the cut which was weird since I was never taught ever since Derek found me, must've been from my past. Once his cut on his stomach was better, I cleaned the blood from his face and head. For some odd reason I knew that he had no internal bleeding. Once he was clean and fixed I sat on the table next to him. "Don't fall asleep" I ordered when I saw him close his eyes. I didn't want him to close his because if he did I'll panic and think he is dead and also because I just wanted to see his eyes. His beautiful eyes. I leaned in closer to see his eyes when I heard him suck in his breath which made me look at his lips. His lips looked so soft and plump, I know everybody says that but his really did look that way, I didn't know any other way to describe his lips other than like that. He looked at my lips before looking into my eyes making me sigh in content at this moment. It felt like the world had slipped away from me and the only thing here was him. My entire focus was on him. He had my entire focus until wolves satrted to barge into the house. I screamed and grabbed a vase from nearby and started to wave it at the dogs. "Stay back!!! Shoo!" I kept repeating. The wolves sat there staring at me with hurt and confusion. "You guys are so weird" I mumbled looking at the puppy dog faces on the big bad wolves. I stood there for a minute being completely still as I watched them. Once I knew that they wouldn't move closer, I turned around to look at Derek. He looked amused but didn't look scared at the wolves which freaked me out. How could you not be scared of wolves in your own freakin house? "Are you mental Derek? I screamed at him. He looked at me confused. "You're okay with a bunch of dogs in your house?" The dogs growled when i said dogs. "But you are dogs! Dont be growling at me for being related to dogs!" I yelled at the wolves. "I'm talking to wolves now!" I cried out. "I'm going crazy!!" I pouted and that just made Derek laugh.
