Chapter 1: The Green Eyed Savior
"Don't stop running!" she kept screaming through her mind as her worn out and tired feet kept her going down the street. Shouts of profanity could be heard behind her and gunshots going past her body. How she missed each one? She really did not know the answer as a man shouted "You can't run forever!" in her direction. True she couldn't run forever, but she could at least try to get them off her tail somehow. "Kentin...why didn't I listen to you before you left?" she asked herself aloud as her mind flashed back to the last day she spent with her best friend.
"Dahlia...I can't stay at Sweet Amoris anymore" he told her in a sad tone, his big thick round glasses doing a poor job of hiding the tears that were trying to escape his eyes. "What? Why not?!" She would ask looking at her best friend who pulled everything to come to this school with her. "My dad.. he found out about me being teased by Amber and he's pulling me out to make me 'be a man' in his words...I'm starting Military Camp tomorrow" Then the tears spilled over, but they weren't Kentin's tears...they were Dahlia's as she looked down her bottom lip trembling. Kentin had been her rock ever since she started Sweet Amoris High School, they had most of the same classes together and they always hung out during lunch and after school, sharing cookies and looking at different desert books for new recipes. Now he was being torn away from her and the pain at that second was nearly unbearable. Amber was going to pay for this later but right now she didn't care she hugged Kentin tightly and bit down on her bottom lip trying not to cry in front of him. "Dahli-chan, don't cry please" he said hugging her back as they pulled apart he took something out of his bag. "I got this for you, as a present" he said putting a teddy bear into her arms, it was soft and had a t-shirt with a heart on the front. Typical Kentin right there, this made her giggle as she wiped her eyes and looked up at him "Am I ever gonna see you again?" she asked hugging the bear tightly to her chest as he shook his head. "For now no, but we can still keep in contact, I'll be able to email you in a few weeks, and we can talk on Skype, though I can't use webcam there" he said with a frown. Outside there was a constant honking sound, Kentins father and he sighed. "I gotta go now but Dahlia you listen to me" he said as he grabbed her shoulders "I know you say you're a tough girl but I know when you can break, It's not gonna be safe soon. With the crime rate going up. Just..don't get into any trouble please" he begged her with desperation in his voice. She nodded once and then he gave her the tightest hug he could manage, even though he was pretty weak to begin with. He waved goodbye and that was that last time she saw her best friend.
By the time her flashback had ended she noticed she was within close distance of her apartment building. It had been two years since she last seen Kentin's face and almost an entire year since she heard from him. The last time they talked was on by email and he had some bad news for her. He previously had planned a trip back home to come visit Dahlia but his plans were cut out when he discovered he was soon to be going on duty in Iraq for the next year. It left Dahlia heartbroken when he had to cancel the plans and she knew he didn't want to but it was his duty since he was now enrolled in the army. He went there straight after Military Camp by his father's orders and he couldn't even come home like the others did. She could still hear the voices behind her but they were closer, she shook her head a bit and realized she was slowing down. She had been running for at least forty five minutes now and she didn't know how much more she could take. Desperate to get them off her tail she took a shortcut when she saw a nearby alleyway and sprinted down it gasping for breath. Her lungs now beginning to sting with hopes of stopping to catch some air. This alley use to have a gate that stayed open this time of night because of the garbage trucks that came to get the dumpster in the wee times of the morning. Through that gate was a shortcut straight to her apartment complex she would be within distance of her safety if she could get to that gate.
Though bad luck seemed to be with her tonight. The gate was closed and most of all...it was locked. Luckily it was a chain like gate with a fence she could climb over. But the voices were even more close now. Why did she go into that bar tonight? Why did she get into a fight with the leader of a thug-like gang? "Kentin...why" she whimpered as she grabbed a hold of the fence and began to climb up it. "Oh No You Don't!" someone said as they grabbed a hold of her leg and yanked her back down. She screamed as loud as she could as she made contact with the cold, wet, ground. The deafening crackling sound of a bone could be heard and she knew right then and there she was done for. She grabbed her leg groaning in agony as the males foot on top of it stomped down harder, crushing the bones more. All she could do now was catch her breath and close her eyes to avoid what her fate would be. "Well well well...thought you could get away from us Sweet Pea?" another voice said. She hated hearing them calling her things like this. She hated the state she was in period. Just then the same voice snapped his fingers and said "undress her!" "No...not this...please!" she kept thinking as she felt hands against her body trying to move her hands away from her clothes as she shook her head saying "no...no!" as they only laughed and she felt her hands being pulled back and above her head. She was a goner, she was a total goner she didn't even put a fight anymore as they went for her top until a loud voice startled them all including Dahlia.
"FREEZE!" she heard and then she heard the assembly of guns being readied as she felt the many hands release her and she hit her head on the ground with a thud. Feet scampering behind her as she heard the fence being climbed and jumped over. Her eyes opened to see a tall male figure and 3 mothers beside him. The boy had brunette hair she could tell from the distance and the others had blonde, red, and silver? Just then the silver and redhead ran towards her only to go over the fence and after the boys that just disappeared. The blonde ran over to the girl and knelt down before her grabbing her wrist obviously he was checking for a pulse "she's stable!...but barely conscious" he said in a very familiar voice. She looked closer through fading conscious eyes to see that the eyes that belonged to the blonde...were golden. Then his hand traveled down to her leg and touched it gently though it made her cringe from the pain "ahhh!" she said softly and he looked up "broken leg..." he said quietly and then she asked out to the voice "Nathaniel...is that you?" She heard him take in a quick breath and he looked more closely at her now, moving strands of her raven black hair to see a pair of tired, weak blue eyes. His voice became shocked yet worried at the same time "Dahlia?!" he then moved more of her hair away from her face to get a better look at her. Instantly his hand covered his mouth as he realized who it was "It's Dahlia!" he called back to the tall brunette not far from then and then she heard another gasp. She was losing conscious quicker now and just wanted to sleep. She wanted to sleep the pain away and dream of her Kentin being back home for her to hug. Then she heard footsteps coming closer and kneeling down by Nathaniel. She wanted to open her eyes to see if it was the tall brunette but sleep was starting to consume her. "..D-Dahli-chan?" a voice struggled to say. It couldn't be! He was suppose to be on tour in Iraq for a year. Somehow she found enough strength to open her eyes and look around for the voice. She met the eyes of the brunette close to her face. She could see his emerald hues looking at her with concern, worry, and panic at the same time. Those were his hues, the very same hues she remembered seeing when he took his glasses off that one time at her place. Relief washed over her body as she managed to make a smile on her face before saying "K...Ken-Kun" with that she closed her eyes and lost consciousness pleading eternal thanks to the green eyed savior.
