All rights belong to Michael Grant. I want to give special thanks and shout-out to the reviwer Rainbow-and-Rainclouds aka M, who inspired me to continue writing this story. Anyway, this story might be OOC because it's been over a year since I last a read a book from the Gone series.

Dekka

Maybe it was a bad idea to wander out by myself, it was starting to get dark and it was like I could feel eyes staring at me. Maybe I was paranoid…or maybe there was something actually out there. I started to pick up the pace and I finally reached the hospital. It was not like there was anything physically wrong with me, I just needed to talk to someone and Sam was miles away, too far and dangerous for a pregnant person to walk to, let alone anyone really.

I walked into the hospital to be greeted by a tired Dahra, I contemplated whether or not I should talk to her I didn't want to add more to her plate. I was about to turn away when I heard her call my name.

"Dekka? What are you doing here? You're supposed to be at home resting. Don't tell me you're having your baby right at this moment!" She started to panic.

"No, no, no," I said reassuring her "I just came for advice. I needed someone to talk to."

"Oh, well then what did you want to talk about." She said, escorting me to an empty room.

"Well it's about Drake. I think he was trying to kill me." I blurted out. She widened her eyes in shock.

"What?!" She said. I started to tell her everything that happened and when I was done, I waited for her to speak.

"Well, maybe you overreacted just a little bit, I mean I would think if he was trying to harm you in anyway, he would have done it already. I think it's just the hormones talking, but if you want you can stay here until the morning, but I have to get back to work." She said and with that she left me alone in the room.

I started to think, maybe I had overreact just a little bit. It didn't take long for me drift away from my thoughts into deep dreamless sleep.

I woke to Dahra shaking me fiercely. "Dekka, it's time for you to go, I'm going to have to use this room for another patient." She said sternly. "I don't mean to be rude, but I'm really busy."

I looked out the window and realize it was already morning and I started to get up slowly, I was starting to miss the lake more and more, where there were actually people I could talk to, but maybe it was time for me to go anyway, I can't always run away and hide from my problems.

The walk back to the house, seemed longer than the walk from it, and by the time I reached the house door I was extremely hungry and tired and just wanted to sleep.

I looked around the house, it felt way too quiet, I looked in our bedroom, then in the kitchen, the living room, the bathroom, and even the backyard, but there was no one in the house.

The house was spotless, there was not a single trace that someone had been living there at all, but what did I expect, of course he wouldn't be here, why would he be. Drake was never the one to wait until someone told him to him to do something, he usually acted on instinct.

I just hoped wherever Drake is, he is not hurting anyone, but even I know that was too good to be true.

Ok that's it for now. Thank you and review please.
