Desri sighed as she walked down the street. It had been a great day. They had gone shopping, they had accidentl run into a little trouble, but that was to be expected when you weren't really as popular as most. Though all in all she had a great day.

Chevelle had really brought some thoughts to her mind in the food court. Dating Erik had crossed her mind but she didn't know anyone else thought anything of them. They weren't dating of corse, but she felt this attraction to him. She wasn't sure she'd be able to go through with this mission anymore. 'I mean for now sure, a little info from hanging out with Erik isn't that big of a deal, but what will Nikolas do with this information. His intentions clearly couldn't be too good.' She thought not realizing where she was going and for a second time this week bumped right into someone without paying attention.

She looked up only to receive a shove in return before she could apologize. "Hey wat- wait your the girl form earlier aren't you" It was Bill, the boy Erik had thrown a tool at and left i nthe middle of the street as they sped off.

'God, I am not having a good week.' She thought to herself and smiled weakly at the boy.

He grabbed her by the collar of her shirt lifting her off the ground. "Your friend really should have stayed so I could have kicked his ass instead of your's, but oh well, all the same to me." He said and threw her into an alleyway.

Darrel sighed and rolled his eyes as he watched Desri bump into a guy across the street and then be forced into an alleyway. "Does the girl ever get a break" He said to himself with a wry smile.

Walking across the street and looking into the alleyway he was not noticed yet as the guy aproached Desri. He wanted to wait. See how she would handle this, and if she didn't handle it well, then he would step in.

Bill aproached Desri swiftly. Desri looked up in slight shock. What were the chances of this? An encounter with the same bully in one day? Likely if it were in school. Out here though, not very.

Desri wasn't really shocked but thinking of what was going to happen to her. An alleyway, at night, no one around. Not a good combination. Then she thought of how they had teased her earlier today. No, he wouldn't do anything. Not to a 'lower class citizen of socity' as he so rudely put it.

Bill was now above ehr as she had stumbled and fell backwards when he had pushed her. He was strong she had to give him that, but not smart. She kicked her leg up hitting an unprotected spot that he was cluelessly stupid enough not to think about and he tumbled to the ground.

Unfortunately when he fell it was ontop of her. She had the wind knocked out of her as he hit her hard when he fell. Moaning in pain closed one of his eyes andshe tried to push him off. No luck. Not fighting or training in so long had really deminished her strength she now realized.

Darrel sat there amuzed. She had made a good mood but now had no strength to get the big ogre off her. He decided to wait a while since he really did want to see what would happen.

Bill soon recovered and pinned Desri's arms to the ground. "Little bitch." he said and elbowed her gut. Desri moaned in slight pain and closed her eyes for a second but soon recovered and kicked with her legs to no avail.

Darrel sighed and figured this could take a while so he decided to end it now. He stepped out of his hiding place letting himself be known. "Hey buddy back off." He said and kicked Bill off of Desri.

Bill rolled off and into a puddle of dirty water. He got up angry that his expensive shirt was ruined. He ran up to Darrel to punch him but was kneed in the gut then punched in the face. Bill went stumbling back and tripped over a trash can. He fell over and hit his head agianst the ground going uncontious and Darrel helped Desri up.

"Come on you little brat." He joked as he lead her out of the alleyway. "Your late already, I had to come out and look for you because the boss got worried."

It didn't take them long to get to the old building. They went up the stairs like before and Desri went into the room of Nikolas.

He was sitting on the bed his bac turned to her as he looked out the window. "What took you so long" He asked, she could deffinately hear anger in his voice at this time.

Desri couldn't answer at first but soon cleared her throat and began to speak. "I'm sorry Nikolas, I ran into this ass from the school football team and we had a little mix up." She said now noticing the cuts on her arms and legs fro mthe broken glass in the alley. Her stomach also ached slightly from getting elbowed pretty hard there.

Nikolas turned around as his anger went to slight sympathy. Desri stood there agianst the door, hands behind her back, soaked with water and bloody with cuts. "What the hell happened to you" He said standing up slightly shocked at the way she looked and walked over.

"I told you, I ran into one of the bullies from school." She said and rubbed her arm absent-mindedly and winced as she got some dirt in her cuts.

Nikolas looked at his love with sad eyes. "You can go take a shower and i'll get you some dry clothes, then we shall discuss what i was planning on telling you." He said and had her go into the next room to take a shower.

It was about 5 minutes later that she came out dressed in one of Nikolas's black shirts and black pants. They fit loosely on her since as a guy he was a little more wider than her. Nikolas looked at her smiling then his smile faded as he remembered what he had saw today at the mall. "Desri, you know you should never mix buisness with pleasure when it comes to missions so why were you flirting with Erik at the mall" He asked, she could slightly hear hatred in his voice.

Desri's eyes widened some. So she hadn't been imagioning all of that in the mall. She really had been followed. She looked lsightly angry now instead of shocked. "Well why were you following me anyways" He stated angry, taking Nikolas by surprise.

Nikolas looked hurt and sighed looking down. He didn't have a good reason. He had just wanted to see her agian. He missed her. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to see you agian." He stated his back now turned to her and he sighed walking over to the bed. He sat down and leaned over with his face in his hands thinking.

Desri looked slightly shocked but then walked over and placed ehr hand on his sholder. "Nikolas." She said but he didn't answer.

Nikolas batted her hand away with his but she caught it in her hand then slid onto his lap. She still loved Nikolas but he was the leader of the gang and she had to quit. She wrapped one of her arms around his neck and he looked up at her with a tear stained face. He knew she loved his brother now, or at least was starting to, but he felt like she loved him too still and if he had a chance he was going to take risks to win her back. "I'm sorry Nikolas, i shouldn't have yelled." She said wiping away the tears on his fac and nuzzled her face into his neck.

She felt oddly strange as she did all this, like it wasn't right, but she couldn't just leave him here sad and alone. No she'd stay here until he was feeling a little better then she'd return home.

Nikolas wrapped his arms around her and layed abck o nthe bed surprising her as he pressed his lips agianst her's. Desri tried to fight the urge to kiss back but lost as she let herself fall into the kiss. Nikolas broke the kiss after a second and Desri jumped up and darted to the door. 'This is deffinately not a good thing.' She thought as her hand reached the doorknob.

Nikolas was to shocked to say anything as she ran out of the room leaving in there alone but he was happy. He know knew he had a chance of winning her back from his brother with he hated with great passion.

This chapter sucked but oh well. It was to show the feelings that Desri had towards Erik but how she was still in love with Nikolas at the same time. And also through talks with my friend and actually playing out the story so far in my head I have realized that, well, Erik isn't that Eriky o.o and well, Nikolas seems like the phantom in this story and Erik seems like Raoul. So part of me wants to just forget the plot i have planned for this and have the struggles end and say this story is going be happily ever after for both sides but unfortunately, i cant do that. BUUUUUUUT o.o the love connections in this story will be much more dramtic comming up soon. Surprises await you young readers. . Muwhahahahahaha! huggles nikolas and Erik dont you just love 'em?
