Misunderstood...

Chapter 9

"You want me to do what?!" Dalton yelled over the pouring rain. He was yelling so loudly a vain was peeking out from his neck.

"We have to jump! They can't go through water! C'mon you were in long jump. You've got this!" I said latching my hand to his.

"On my count we move!" I say as I tighten my grip on his hand.

He nods. "One," the hound growls.

"Two," it moves closer.

"Three!" We run quickly and Dalton is in front of me, dragging me along.

Then I hear a loud chomp. Actually I feel it more than I hear it. I stumble a little but then get back up and run. We are just in front of the river when Dalton leaps. We made it somewhat safely across. We landed hard on the ground and rolled a little ways. I scream in pain as I look up at the hounds. There are several of the now, all howling into the night. I look around and finally one catches my eye. It's larger than the rest and has blood dripping from its mouth. That one. That one bit me.

"I can't believe you Dalton! The night is dangerous out here!" My mother scolded.

Dalton had to carry me back since there was no way in heck I could walk.

"I-I-I didn't know. And I've apologized a million times." Dalton said loudly.

"Would you both just shut the hell up and fix me?" I yelled angrily.

"Dakota! That is no way for a lady to speak!" My mother yapped.

I groaned in annoyance as James cleared the two of them out of the infirmary.

"Finally some peace and quiet." My dad said as he inspected my wound.

"Dakota didn't you know Barghest's could be out here?" He asked.

"I wasn't thinking dad. Don't tell me you've never done anything stupid for mom before." I say as I wince slightly.

He chuckles a but as he starts to wrap my leg up.

"I wouldn't put any pressure on it."

"So what am I suppose to do?" I ask using my elbows to prop me up.

"Well we don't have any crutches, but we do have a wheelchair."

"Your kidding." I say with annoyed eyes.

"Bring it in James!"

I turn to find James rolling in a little wheelchair that was just big enough for me.

"Great."

"It's not that bad." Oliver says from behind me.

I raise an eyebrow. "Right."

I wheel myself away and toward my moms car (broom broom) and wait for someone to help me in.

"Need help, love?" A voice says startling me.

I flinch a little then turn around to find someone I've never seen before. He's around 6 foot with blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Who are you?"

He smiled a tight smile. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Alexander. Alexander Russo."
