Chapter 2:

Gabriel Coleman's POV-

   I looked down at the girl in my arms. Damn, this girl had some crazy beautiful hair.

   It was mostly blonde with highlights of caramel and strawberry, and there near her ear was a strand of honey.

   Her face was beautiful, too, with strong brows and long lashes. Her nose was buttoned and a soft trail of freckles ran across her cheeks. I wouldn't have even noticed them had I not been so close.

   "Did she just faint?" asked Luke, eyeing Kota nervously.

   "Yeah, we should get her inside. Gabe, do you have her?"

   I nodded. She wasn't heavy. "Does anyone know who she is...and why she was up a tree in the middle of the night?"

   "Maybe she's Batman." Kota offered lightly, leaving Luke and I rolling our eyes.

   Luke ran a hand through his blond hair. "Is she Academy? I didn't even see her until she was two feet in front of me."

   "Maybe..." Kota pulled out his phone, sending a quick message as we walked towards his house. "Mr. Blackbourne will want to know about her."

   We reached the house and Kota snuck in first making sure his mother and his sister were still asleep.

   When Kota gave us the OK, we hurried up to his room and I deposited the girl onto Kota's bed.

   The cut on her head had stopped bleeding. Thank fuck.

  "Let's get ahold of Dr. Green..." Kota said. "We don't know why she passed out."

   "When I touched her she thought I was going to hurt her," Luke whispered. "I guess I did hurt her. I didn't mean to let her fall out of that tree. She just got me in the face and I couldn't react fast enough..."

   It isn't Luke's fault, I thought, and Kota said as much.

   "She surprised us."

   "Well...from my experience, surprises end in cake. That was more of a scare for me." Luke mumbled. "It's a good thing you caught her, Gabe."

   "No fucking problemo, man. That's why you wanted me to come on patrol tonight. To kill spiders and stop trouble striking from above." I flashed him a smile. "I'll call the doc."

  Dr. Green answered on the second ring. He sounded like he was with a patient. "Is something wrong, Gabe?" he asked, concern thick in his voice. "Is it Pam? Where are you?"

   "Oy, it's not Pam. You sound busy, but Kota and Luke and I found this girl in the woods and--"

   "This sounds like the beginning of a horror movie..."

   "Dr. Green, she fell out of a tree and hit her head and now she's asleep."

   He groaned. "She shouldn't be sleeping." The seriousness in the doctor's voice returned. "See if you can wake her up. Gently."

   "He says we should wake her up." I stepped past Luke, gently patting the girl's cheek. She didn't stir. "She's not waking doc, but she is breathing."

   "Where did her head hit?"

   "Around the right temple."

   "Is it bleeding?"

   "Not so much anymore."

   "I'll be over in ten. You're at Kota's right?"

   "Yeah."
