When the door handle slipped out of my grasped I was hurled through the air like a flying rocket, I squeezed my eyes shut as the ground came rushing towards me, and I prepared myself for the hit. My arm took the impact of my fall, and I rolled until I was flat on my stomach. I mustered up enough strength to lift myself up off the street. I cradled my arm against my body, searing pain shot through every ounce of my body as I tried to move my shoulder back into place. The street was dark and quiet. There wasn't a soul in sight. Except a man walking in my direction. My first thought was that the creature had hurt Dimitri or even killed him. Then I noticed the height of the man. I picked myself up off the ground then I half ran, half stumbled to the man. When I reached Dimitri I threw my arms around him.
"I'm so happy that you're OK." I said to him as he held me in his arms.
He pulled away from me, and looked me over.
"Are you hurt? Are you OK? Do you need to go see a doctor?" He fired all of these questions at me.
"I'm fine. I think I broke my arm, but that doesn't matter right now."
He pulled me back into a tight hug. I nestled my head into the crook of his neck and smiled to myself. Standing there wrapped in his arms was true comfort to me. I never felt this safe anywhere; not in my own home. Not even in the arms of my mother.
We stood there for what seemed like forever. Clinging to each other for dear life. I finally unraveled myself from him and prepared myself for what I was going to do next.
"What are you?" I asked hoping that my voice had a menacing sound so that he knew I wasn't messing around.
"What do you mean I'm human, I'm the same Dimitri?" He responded sounding confused.
"Don't play games with me! I've gotten hurt before I can handle it." I said through clenched teeth.
"What are you?" I growled, slower than last time.
The flashing head lights of a car interrupted whatever Dimitri was about to tell me, or not tell me. The car slowed to a halt just as it reached us. The driver stepped out and made his way around the car to meet us.
"What are you two doing in the middle of the street?" He questioned us with a thick southern accent.
"Our car broke down a few miles down the road and we figured we'd try and walk home, or to the nearest telephone."
The man looked at Dimitri and me as if we had grown two heads.
"Are you crazy? You know that this is the worst place to walk around in the dark don't ch-ya."
"Well you see sir we've been walking for a very long time and I think our brains kinda shut down, so we're not thinking straight."
"Alright hop in; I'll give you a ride."
"Thank you sir, just to the nearest gas station, then we'll" he gestured to me, "be out of your hair."
"Don't be silly if I'm going to give you a ride it's going to be all the way to your home. Now get in I say."
Ooohhhh who do you think the man is? Review please. Or Dimitri will lose the next fight. :D
