My only wish , my only dream

Chapter 6: im a target

(A few weeks has passed so now I'm aloud to leave the hospital, the doctors were concerned so they kept me for that long.)

As it was a school day , everyone was at school so Dimitri came to get me. I walked down the steps and saw Dimitri parked up stareing directly at me so i rushed over and sat in the passenger seat of his jeep. "Are you all clear", he asked. I nodded so then he drove off back home.

He turned the car off as i got out.
"Ive got to go back to work so behave", he said as he started the engine up again. "Wait wheres Dakota", i asked. "No idea", Dimitri said and drove off. "Okay then", i muttered and ran inside.

I walked upstairs as soon as i dropped my bag and coat off in the front room. I knocked twice on Dakotas door and there was no reply but the door was unlocked slightly. "Im coming in", i said and walked in. My eyes widened of how his room looked, it was trashed , it looked like someone raged in here and broke all sorts of things. I noticed the drawing book on his bed, it looked like it was ripped but it seemed like he tried to repair it.

I sat down on his bed and repaired his drawings while wandering if he did this and if so then why. As i couldn't find anything to repair his book i took it back to mine and repaired it the best i could.

A slam of a door downstairs made me jump, i then tried to listen to whom it could be. It was 2 pm so it couldn't be Dimitri so it must be Dakota. Then someone knocked on my door, "hi", i said as i opened my door with a smile then my face turned into fear. I stumbled backwards as i saw who it was. "You've been discharged i see", he smirked. "What are you doing here", i asked. "As i failed to kill you at the hospital , i came to finish the job", he laughed and crept closer with something in his sleeve. He moved his arm towards me and caught my cheek, i held onto my cheek as blood crept down my face from the fresh cut he had given me, he laughed at my frightened reaction. I backed up till i was against the window , he kept coming towards me with his blade in sight. In a blink in an eye i felt a gush of wind behind me and i heard growling , the curtain blew next to me so i couldnt see who it was but a figure jumped down and lunged at the man and pulled him out of my sight. I was too scared to move, i was too frightened to go see what was happening so i fell to the floor. The pain of the cut now caught up with me and i had to hold onto it as it started to become agonising. Tears fell as i could hear all sorts of ruckus downstairs till it all died down. I held my tears back as i crawled to the corner of my room as i heard footsteps coming up the stairs.

"Alissa", someone called. All my tears i had been holding fell there and then as i knew who that was. He came rushing in and pulled me into a hug as i cried into his chest. "I was so scared", i muttered. "I know , i know", he said. He pulled away and narrowed his eyes at my cut. I noticed this and held a hand on it. "Move your hand", he said. "No , im fine", i replied. He grabbed my hand and pulled it towards his face. He sniffed the blood then licked it off my hand. I kept trying to pull my hand away but he had a iron grip on my hand. Once he licked the blood off i stood up and sat on my bed to get away from him, but he followed.

"Dakota that was weird", i said moving further away from him on my bed. He didn't say anything but he just moved towards me while still stareing at my cut, in one move he held my wrists and pushed me down on the bed. "Dakota let go of me", i said. He started to near his face to mine and then began to lick my cut, it hurt as he did this so i flinched but as i did he gripped my wrists tighter which made me flinch even more with pain. "Your hurting me", i said and he loosened his grip on my wrists.

Soon he stopped and released my wrists and started spitting on the floor, green blobs were then on my floor. "What is that", i asked. "Poison was in your wound so i got rid of it for you, do you feel better", he asked. I blushed at the thought of what just happened and nodded. "Im sorry i weren't here earlier , i had a meeting with someone", he said and pulled me into a hug. I accepted it, "its okay, thank you for saving me, but i know you would want a more braver magic barer", i said. "I promise nothing will happen to you so i wont leave your side no matter what and of course i don't think that", he said. "Yh , your just saying that because your nice like that, i know you should be out there with the others  holding back the demons but your stuck babysitting me", i grumbled. "We draw our strength from our magic barers and right now i get lots of strength from my barer because we have a strong bond and because your strong willed", he said.

I pulled away and sat facing away from him, he then pulled me backwards and kept my head on his lap. "Let me up", i moaned. "Not till u calm down and get those thoughts out your mind", Dakota said. I grumbled then closed my eyes , even though I've been sleeping most of the morning , sleep overwhelmed me in a instant.

(Time skip)
I bounced my eyes open and noticed i was in my bed but i felt something round me and it was an arm. I turned round , and looked directly into Dakotas sleeping face. My face went into a bright red tomato, i tried to get out but he tightened his grip. "Hey!, wake up", i said loudly. He made a few noises but still kept on sleeping. He was in my duvet as well as me and my heart wouldn't stop pounding.

I couldn't move my arms as much so all i could do was nudge him with my head , that of course didn't work. Then one thought went through my head that would of course wake him up. I managed to move closer to him so then i took a deep breath and gave him a quick kiss which made him stir but not wake him up.

I felt like my heart was gonna rip out my chest because of how much it was beating. I then looked at him and noticed one eye was open slightly but as soon as he saw me he shut it fully. My face went even more redder than before , "you idiot", i muttered. I heard a chuckle , then he leant in and kissed my forehead and he let go of me and turned the other way and went back to sleep, i presume. I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom to splash my face to calm myself down.
