The night seemed to fly by cause it was morning already. Chris slowly opened his eyes and yawned. First thing he saw saw was Dana beside him, sleeping peacefully. Chris smiled and kissed her forehead. She groaned and Chris got up, her eyes slowly started opening but only halfway.
"Chris..." She grunted feeling the need to sleep a bit more.
" Morning Dana" Chris said happily. She smiled and threw the blankets over her head. "Come on, time to get up"
"Why so early" She complained, only making Chris amused at her.
"What, I thought you liked getting up early but today your just refusing to get up" Chris chuckled looking at the lump under the blanket. " Dam, and I thought I hated the mornings"
She smiled and sighed under the blanket. " Come on, just a little longer, please" She begged. Chris smiled inside his head and knew he was defeated. He slaped the side of his head and sighed.
"Ok, I'll let you sleep in" He said. she Sighed in realief
"Thanks, I'll try to be up in a little while" She said moving to her side under the blanket.
"In the meantime I'll get breakfast started" He said.
"Ok" She said groggily.
Chris chuckled " Besides it will be the only thing to wake you up" Chris said, Dana quickly removed the blanket and threw a pillow at Chris lighty, hitting him in the face. " Ok, ok, im going" Chris said walking out and closing the door.
" Thank you" She said covering herself again.
Chris again saw Joey asleep. He walked into the living room, seeing Sargent on the floor and the blanket on top of him and Chris smiled " So, that was that loud thud I heard last night" Chris laughed quietly.
He walked into the kitcheen and started to make some french toast and bacon, enough for everyone. " Damn, you people are so lazy" Chris smiled and saw Sargent walk into the kitchen.
" Sup man" Sargent asked as Chris turned to him.
" You fall off the couch last night man" Chris asked him, he nodded.
" Was to sleepy to get back up on the couch so I stayed on the floor" He smiled and Chris laughed.
" Well anyway, breakfast will be done in 20 minutes, play on the computer or something" Chris said but instead Sargent looked around the kitchen looking for someone.
" Where's Dana" He asked.
" She feels like being lazy today" Chris smircked putting a thing of bread on the pan.
"Heh, and I thought you were lazy, she's the one that usually gets you up"
" Hey shut up" Chris said with a small laugh.
" Whatever" Sargent walked over to the computer and turned it on.
" If your gonna play music keep it turned down" Chris said.
" Yeah, yeah" Sargent replied.
John, Joey and Dave woke up next, leaving Dana still asleep.
" Hey guys, breakfast will be ready soon" Chris said.
" Yay" they replied taking a seat at the table. They decided to play a few rounds of black jack while they waited.
" Beat that bitch" Sargent yelled getting a ace and a king. The others growled
" You shithead" Joey said throwing his cards on the table.
" Easy guys, its just a game" Dave said taking the words out of Chris's mouth. He walked over to the table and got involved in the next hand.
" Put me in man" Chris said getting delt two cards and looked at them. " I'll stay" Chris said walking over to the stove and setting more toast on the pan.
The others looked at there cards " Well, what do you guys got" Sargent asked.
" I got 20" Chris said.
Joey growled " 19"
" Crap i got 18" John said.
" I got 21" Brandon laughed.
" Hey no fair, your fuckin cheatin" Dave yelled. Sargent always did do false shuffles, John taught him how to do it and he does it when he plays people for money. Just then Dana walked in the kitchen and kissed Chris on the cheek.
" Morning hun" She said to Chris, she looked at the others " Hey guys"
" Hey Dana" They all replied. She took a seat at the table and Chris gave them all french toast and a few strips of bacon. They all started to eat and Chris was left standing up eating.
Dana was nibbleing on a piece of bacon while looking down at her plate and got lost in thought. She sighed and closed her eyes.
"Something wrong" Chris asked as she looked up.
" Just rembering something" She said.
" Remembering what" Chris asked being curious.
" Dont really want to talk about it" She replied eating another strip of bacon.
Joey looked up finishing his mouthfull. " If you want to remember something, remember something good, not bad"
They all nodded in approval, Sargent getting a idea. " Like the first time we all met" He said.
Dana sighed in pain " I cant really remember anything worth remembering" She lied to herself. Chris smiled and walked over to her, putting a hand on her shoulder. She looked up.
"How about the first time we met" Chris asked her.
" How did we meet hun" She asked.
"Well, it started five months ago at school..."
FLASHBACK
School 5 months ago
"Man I hate school, not like were ever gonna use it in real life" Sargent complained walking down the hall with Joey and Chris.
" Well, I agree with you but I sorta dont agree" Joey said.
" That didnt make much sence" Chris said standing in the middle of the two while walking down the hallway.
"Yeah, I know, but I need a education. Besides I want a good job" Joey replied. Chris hit him with a friendly punch.
" Well, that I do agree with, I need a good job, I hate mine" Chris sighed.
" Ahh come on, Price Choppers not all that bad" Joey said with a small laugh.
Chris smiled sarcasticlly " Yeah, better then Sargents job" He said.
" Hey, whats that supposed to mean" He yelled making other students stare at him.
" Easy man, just a joke" Chris quickly said. The three laughed and continued down the hall.
" Well this is where I gotta go, later man" Joey said as Sargent nodded.
"Yeah me too" Sargent said walking in the room with him. Then Chris walked down the hall going to health class.
It was her first day at school and she knew she was lost, looking at her schedule and looking at door numbers, trying to find her next class. She was walking down the same hallway Chris was and that's when they both saw each other. Dana caught a quick look at Chris and she dropped her books. She started to pick them up.
Chris looked down to her and kneeled down to help. " Here let me help you with those" He said picking up her books.
"Thanks" She said blushing a little. She stood back up and smiled, Chris picking up the rest of her things and standing back up.
"Here you go" He said handing her the books, he looked into her eyes and felt himself being lost by them. She looked in his sapphire eyes and started to blush madly, trying to hide it, but Chris was beat red too, so it was even. Her sweet voice cut the scilence.
" Something on my face" She asked, Chris snapped out of it
" Sorry for staring" He said politely. She just smiled brightly and laughed a little.
" Thats ok" She said.
" Well, maybe ill see you around, I got to get to class" Chris said.
" Wait before you go, can you tell me where the gym is" She asked.
"Ah screw it, I dont care if im late, here follow me" Chris said.
" Thanks" They made there way downstairs and Chris led her to the girls locker room.
" Well, this is it" Chris said looking into her blue eyes again. " Maybe I'll see you around" Chris started to walk off but her voice stopped him.
" Thanks for your help but I dont even know your name" Chris turned around and smiled.
" Im Chris, Chris Evertsen" He said. She blushed a little.
" Well, thank you Chris" She said.
" No problem, just come find me if you need help" Chris walked off leaving her there. She wanted to say thank you again but she couldn't find the words.
" Damn, I forgot to tell him my name" She said
END FLASHBACK
" So thats how you two met" Sargent asked, Chris nodded.
" Yeah, but back then we really didnt know each other" Dana gave Chris a smile and he returned it " Anyway, that wasnt the last time we saw each other that day" Chris's tone grew hard and serious, and allmost angry. Angry enough to knock off some guys head.
"Hmmm, did something happen" Joey asked, Chris nodded.
"It happened, after school" Chris said.
FLASHBACK
Same day after school...
Chris Joey and Sargent were headed off to Sarge's house. Chris talking about the chick he met in school.
" What, did she even tell you her name" Joey asked, Chris had to think for a moment.
" Now that I think about it, she didnt tell me her name" Chris said rubbing the back of his head.
" Oh well, you will probably see her tommorrow" Sargent said. The three made it over to his house and walked in " Make yourselfs comfartable" He Said, Joey and Chris sat on the couch watching T.V. Sargent screwing around on the computer. Chris looked at his watch. 3:30.
" Sorry dudes, Gotta get going, promised my mom I would be home by four" Chris said standing up and grabing his stuff.
" Ok, see you tommorrow Chris" Joey and Sargent both said and Chris walked outside. He calmly walked down the street and noticed it had begun to get dark.
" Oh shit" He said and began to sprint " But, its only 3:30" He stopped running. " Forgot it gets dark quicker in the spring"
Dana was running down the street's while tears streamed down her cheeks, running far away from her father's house and a big redmark left on her cheek. She must have been about a mile away from his father's house. She was walking down a dark street, close to the one Chris was walking on. She turned to a dark alleyway and pressed her back against the brick wall, breathing heavily. It started to rain and she would soon be soaked.
"Damn my father, I hate him so much" She said wiping her tears away and looked up into the darkening sky. She sighed to herself and started breathing normal again. She heard the sounds of footsteps as they turned into the alley. Two men about 25 or so each drunk out of there minds and drinking beer, getting even more drunk.
The two man stopped and looked at her, staring down at her breasts. The two began to laugh.
" Whats a pretty young thing like you doin in a place like this" One of them said. She looked at the two and started to back away.
" Please...stay back" She Whispered.
"Hey Charlie, looks like were gonna have some fun with her today" The second one said.
" Yeah, we are Mark" Charlie said pointing down to Dana's skirt.
" No please stay away from me" Tears started to swell up in her eyes again and started to back away more, but Charlie grabbed her arm and started to yank on it, putting his hand over her mouth.
" Now, be a good girl and stay quiet, were not gonna hurt you...much" Mark said as they both let out a laugh.
Dana bit the mans hand and started screaming. " Please someone help me" Charlie took her by the shoulders and slammed her hard against the brick wall, her head hitting the back of it first. She let out a groan and fell down to her knee's. " Please someone...help...me" Her head slowly went to the left as she lost conciousness and the two sighed.
" Damn, now she wont be awake for it" Charlie said looking down at the sleeping girl.
" Who care's just get it over with before someone see's it" Mark said as Charlie postioned himself between her legs.
Chris who was appairently nearby, heard the scream's and started to run to the source of it. He ran around a corner and saw too men in a alleyway with a girl who was unconcious. Mark turned around to see Chris staring at them both.
" Hey you" Mark said allerting Charlie to get off the girl.
" Leave her alone" The puzzle around Chris's neck began to glow a bright yellow blinding the two men. The millenium symbol appeared on his forehead along with growing more serious.
The two smiled and started laughing insanely " What's a punk like you gonna do anyway" Mark said as Chris put on a smile.
" Try to take adavntage of her and you will find out" Chris said.
" Why you little..." Mark tried punching Chris in the head but he easily dodged it and kneed him in the chest, growling in pain. Chris elbowed him in the back of the neck and knocked him out, he layed sprawled out, forming puddles of watter on his jacket due to how hard the rain was coming down. Chris turned to face Charlie.
" So you still wanna try" Chris asked him, he took off and growled "coward" Chris yelled, his attention went back to the girl who was still knocked out. He moved the hair out of her face and examined her "It's her" he thought to himself. He took her by the shoulders and started to shake her a bit.
" Hey, you ok" He asked her. As he picked her up he saw a little blood on the wall behind her. He put his hand behind her head and started to feel around for a cut. He took his hand back and put it in front of him. " Oh no, dam those bitch's" Chris growled, as he said that she started to move her head by herself.
" Hey...you ok" He asked her again, her eyes started to open slowly, but only halfway.
"...Chris..." she said. " How...did...you...find...me" She asked.
" I dont know, I just did" Chris smiled and looked down at her " What are you doing out here" She really wasnt paying attention, but her attention was on the yellow eye in the middle of his forehead, and the yellow object around his neck which was the millenium puzzle.
" What's that" She pointed at Chris's forehead and saw the symbol.
" Oh no, you weren't supposed to see that" Chris said as the symbol vanished and the puzzle stopped glowing. " Great now I did it, I used my power in front of someone I dont even know, guess I have no choice but to tell her". Before she could say anything else she fainted. Chris shook her a bit and saw that she was tired. " Ok ill tell her later" Chris picked up his cell phone which dropped from the fight and started dialing some numbers. After a few rings Sargent picked up.
"Hello" He said.
" Sarge its me, I got a problem" Chris said fast.
" Whats the prob" He asked.
"Well, I was on my way home and I ran into the chick that I saw at school, she was beaten and I need some help getting her home, or rather to the hosptal" Chris said looking over to the chick who was still knocked out.
" Holy shit, where the hell are you man" Chris looked around to give him a hint of where he was.
" I dont know some alleyway by a brick building" Chris said.
" K, I know where you are so dont move" Sargent hung up and Chris put the phone in his pocket.
END FLASHBACK
Chris walked over to the sink and put his dish in.
" Yeah I remember the two men but I dont remember the rest on account of me being knocked out half the time" Dana said with a small laugh. Chris smiled and walked over to her.
" Dont worry about it, I'll fill in the rest of the gaps" He said.
" So, there's more" Joey asked as Chris nodded.
" Yeah, about five minutes later Sargent came by"
FLASHBACK
A black car pulled up to Chris and he grabbed the girl and helped her to her feet. Sargent got out and slammed the door, he walked over to Chris and growled.
"It looks worse then what you said on the phone" Sargent said.
" I wanted to make it short so" Dana started to open her eyes and the first thing she saw was Sargent. Her eyes suddenly widend as she whipered fearing he'd try the same thing the two men tried.
" Hey its ok, this is Brandon Sargent, one of my friends, we call him Sargent for short" Chris said as her eyes relaxed. Sargent sighed.
" Poor girl, she didnt diserve this" Sargent said opening the passenger side of the door. Her face turned bright red as she noticed that her arm was wrapped around Chris, helping her stand up.
" Take it easy, I got you, that cut behind your head needs to be treated though..." Chris was about to say her name but he didnt know it. " Sorry but I dont know your name"
" It's ok, my name's Dana, Dana Jennings" She said, Chris smiled.
" Well Dana, lets get you out of here" Chris helped her in the car and Chris got in the back, Sargent got in and started to drive away.
"Sarge, just drop us off at my house, she will stay with me tonight" Chris said turning a little red. Sargent smiled.
" Yeah right, you probably want to see more of her" Sargent said sarcasticly. Dana in the front seat turned red and looked out the window to try and hide it.
" Don't listen to him Dana, he's always like that, you dont mind staying over do you, just for the night" Chris asked concerned about that cut on the back of her head.
She smiled " I dont mind"
Sargent pulled up to Chris's house, he looked to his watch 6:00. Luckly his parents weren't home, on a business trip for a week in Flordia. Both Chris and Dana got out of the car and closed the door.
" Thanks Sarge, I owe you one" Chris said as Sargent gave a wave from the window, backed out, and left. " Well, lets go" She nodded still a bit scared of Chris, not knowing him very well.
" Hey it's ok, you can trust me" His voice was loving and gental and Dana knew that she could trust him. There eyes met and Dana blushed a little, which made Chris smile a bit.
"Ok" She said nervously. Chris walked up to the door and unlocked it with a spare key from his pocket. He led her inside and she sat down in a chair in the kitchen. " I need to say thank you for saving me from those two men, that's twice you helped me today" She smiled while Chris got a wash cloth and rinced it in warm water.
" Its not a problem, if you hadn't screamed those two guys would have had there way with you" He pressed the wash cloth on the back of her head and winced in pain. " Sorry, I'll be more careful" He said. Rubbing the back of her head gently.
" Thank you, I dont know what to say" She said with a bright smile.
" You dont have to say anything, your thanks is all I need" Chris said removing the wash cloth from the back of her head " Well, it stopped bleeding that's good, you got any more cuts on you" He asked.
" No, I dont think so" She said looking at herself to see any signs of cuts and bruises. Once again there eyes met and she felt herself melt in front of him. She started to develop feelings for him. Never before has anyone in her life showed her what having someone who cares about you like the way he cared for her. He was helping someone he didnt even know but as she looked into his eyes, she felt a burning passion from them. He had seemed like the type who would just be a careless muscle head but he was the oppisite of that. This was the first guy she knew that cared for her and deep down she kind of loved him for it. The other guys in her life were only interested in her body but Chris didn't care about that. All he cared about was helping someone who needed it. Without any idea what she was doing she lunged at him and hugged him, resting her head on his chest.
Chris who was beat red right now, thank god she couldn't see it, Did the only thing that came to his mind. He started to hug her back.
" Thank you for saving me" She said, tears running down her cheek.
" It's no problem, here take this" He handed her a piece of paper with 7 numbers on it 515-6095. " Its my cell phone number, if you ever need my help just call me and ill be there as soon as I can" She put it in her pocket.
" Thank you, for everything" She said and then she hugged him again but this time Chris didnt blush, he smiled and closed his eyes, patting her on the back to comfort her. She finally snapped back to reality and pulled away from him. Her face beat red at what she just did.
"Im so sorry, I didnt mean to" Chris inturuppted her.
"Its ok" Chris said " I dont mind, you can trust me" With that said she hugged him again which seemed like forever.
END FLASHBACK
" Wow, so that's how you two got close in such a short time" John said,
" Well...not exactly, it was two weeks later that I actually built up the courage to ask her out" Chris said putting his hand on his girlfriend's and she smiled.
" Yeah, I still remember that day" Sargent said. Dave stayed quiet the entire time listening to the story.
" Dana, that makes me think about one thing" She turned to look at him with wide eyes " What were you doing outside anyway" Chris asked her.
"Well, I was running from my father's house cause of a fight we had" She said " Then those two guys attacked me and tried to take advantage of me, I woke up and there you were"
" Your father abusing you that day" She nodded to his question.
" He was saying that going to school was pointless and that you didnt need a education to be someone's bitch" Chris's jaw dropped in shook.
" Probably a good thing that he's gone now, he wont be missed" Joey said. Dave sat quietly and thoughts went through his mind like paper. Knowing that that probably wasnt the end of the story.
" How ever, the first two weeks that we knew each other, something else happened, it was a couple days after we meet each other" Chris turned his eyes over to Joey " Joey might remember this, after all I dont think he forgets a fight, especialy if he was in it" The others gasped and Joey sighed.
"Tell us what happened" Dave said. Chris smiled and closed his eyes.
"Man, im being so open here, very well" Chris stood up and walked over to the fridge. Grabbing a thing of soda. (it being 12:00 if you needed to know) He closed the fridge and stood in the middle of the kitchen taking a sip of it and setting it down on the counter, letting out a sigh. " It happend right after school, two days after we met..."
FLASHBACK
Chris ran into Dana after school and decided to walk her home, seeing as how those two guys might still be after her again, Joey joined the two.
"Hey Chris" Joey's voice startled Dana a little as they both turned around.
"Another friend of your's" Dana asked.
" Yes, he is" Joey ran up to Chris and gave him a high five. "Hey Joey" Joey looked over to the girl who was walking with him.
" Who's that" Joey asked.
"Oh, I havent introduced you two yet, Dana, this is Joey Wheeler, a close friend of mine" Joey held out a hand and she shook it, smiling happy.
" Hi" he said.
" How;s it going" Joey asked her.
" Joey she's new around here, I want you two to get along" Chris smiled.
" Dont worry chris, I will" Joey smiled and she smiled back at him. Joey leaned over to whisper something in his ear. " Dam, she's pretty hot you know" Chris rolled his eyes and sighed.
" Well shall we go" Chris asked, Dana nodded.
"Huh, go where" Joey asked.
"Im walking her home, she got attacked two days ago so I figured id walk her home this time" Chris said.
" Well then, allow me to acompany you" Joey said.
" Sure I dont mind, wont have time to go over to Sarge's though" Chris pointed out.
" That's ok, we hang out with that kid everyday not like he's gonna miss us" Joey said as all three laughed. in the distance they were being watched by a few of the pot heads of the school.
" Man, that Evertsen kid piss's me off, whats he doin hanging out with a hot chick like her" The voice said, the other three turned to look at him.
" Hey, isnt that the new chick" Another one asked pointing.
" Yeah, I think so, lets go say hi to them" He threw down the pot and motioned for the other three to follow.
" You really wanna mess with Chris? kids fuking tough man" A cowardly voice said.
" He's just one kid, besides we got him outnumbered" The man cracked his knuckle's.
" Yeah, well that other kid wheeler is with him, hes a tough kid" Another voice said.
" I dont care, get them and dont hurt the girl" The four walked over to them.
" Hey Chris, we got company" Joey pointed to the group of pot heads.
" Great, just what I need" Chris said sarcasticly.
" What are we gonna do" Dana asked.
" Well, were gonna fight so stay close to us" Dana nodded and got between the two as the four pot heads surrounded the three.
"Well, well, well, if it isnt Evertsen" one of them said.
" What do you pot heads want, go back and choke on some weed" Joey screamed.
" What do you guys want" Chris asked them. all four laughed.
" Nothing really, just got bored so I figured what the hell, lets start a fight" The dude ran for Chris and he tripped over Chris's foot landing head first into the road.
" Ouch" Chris said.
The kid got back up, blood dripping from his face. Chris smiled.
" Get lost, pick a fight with a little kid or something, you know something you can beat up" Chris turned his back to him, something he probably shouldn't have done.
" You little..." The kid got back up and charged for Chris, but he was ready. He spinned kicked him in the face and he went flying to the ground.
" I've had enough of this shit" The puzzle around his neck began to glow yellow again and the symbol once again appeared on his forehead along with growing more serious. " Im ending this now"
Dana watched Chris as he grew more serious and had the yellow eye on his forehead again. She remembered the last time she saw the symbol, it was back in that ally, with those two guys. She could feel a power flowing through him, but it wasnt evil, it was gental, a protective energy.
" What's happening to him" She thought.
"Allright who's next" Chris asked.
The one on the ground began to move " Get him" he yelled. The three ran for chris but all he did was smile, he moved out of the way watched the three colide heads.
" Man, you guys suck" Chris said. The one on the ground crawled over to Dana, who was to shooked at Chris too even notice him, he got up and gripped Dana's leg. She gasped and Joey saw it.
" Let go" She said struggling to get free.
"Heh, never bitch" The man said standing up and grabbing her arm. Joey saw this and ran for him.
" Anyone teach you manners" Joey punched him in the face and down to the ground he went " Ouch, bastard has a face hard as a rock" Joey said waving his hand.
" Thank you" Dana said smiling at Joey.
" Hey no prob, just stay back" Joey saw the guy get up rubbing his cheek.
" Dam you, another time wheeler, RETREAT" He yelled and took off, so did the three that Chris was busy with.
" Dam, I was starting to have some fun too" Chris said as the puzzle around his neck continued to glow yellow. He sighed and walked over to the two who watched in amazement. His attention went over to Dana who looked scared. " Are you ok" He asked her. She was too shooked to even speak. " Looks like she's in shook"
" Uhhh, Chris its your puzzle that's probably scareing her" Joey said as Chris looked up to see the symbol flashing on his head.
"Shit, I let her see it again" The symbol vanished along with the bright light on the puzzle " She probably thinks im a freak now, man im so stupid" Chris calming down seemed to snap dana out of her trance like state. Dana said the only thing that came to her mind.
" What...are you" She questioned. She took a few steps away from Chris and looked like she was gonna run away.
"Wait...please dont run, let me explain" Chris's voice was soft and caring so Dana didnt run. She started to calm down a little. " To be able to explain it, I need you to experience it" Chris said holding a hand in front of her face. She looked like she was gonna run again but she didnt. She stayed where she was the look of fear in her eyes. " Are you ready" He asked her.
" What are you gonna do" She asked as her heart began to beat faster.
" Before I start I need you to promise me that you wont tell anyone about what im gonna do" Chris said, she felt like she could trust him so she replied " Yes, I promise"
" Ok, hold still, im not gonna hurt you, you can trust me" The symbol appeared once again on his head and the puzzle glew yellow. His hand filled with yellow energy. She gasped at the sight of it. " Dont worry" The energy got shot at her and she felt herself being filled with some strange power. The symbol appeared on her own head and her eyes glew yellow, her jaw dropped.
"What's going on" She thought to herself " What is this power" The power was strong, she felt herself being fused with it, as if she were becoming a whole new person. " How are you doing this" She asked, more energy pouring into her. The symbol on his head disappeared and the one on her's stayed for a few more seconds. She kneeled down, feeling the tremendous energy through her body. The puzzle around his neck glowing a bright yellow. The symbol on her head vanished and she stood up, feeling energized. The puzzle stopped glowing and Chris put his hand back to his side. Her hand went to her chest, as if trying to grab her heart.
"There, it didnt hurt did it" He asked her, she shock her head no. " Well, what did you think, that was the energy from inside the puzzle, felt good didnt it"
" It felt like...energy was filling up in every part of my body" She said as Chris smiled.
" That's how its supposed to feel, I gave you some of my energy but the yellow light that was felt all over you was the power of the puzzle" Chris said, his words sending chills down her spine.
To think that Chris's own energy was running around inside her. She blushed as she thought of that.
" You promise" Chris asked, she looked confused.
"Promise what" She asked.
" Promise that you wont tell anyone about this power, they may not believe you if you do tell, but there's always a small chance" Chris said as she nodded.
" What would happen if I did tell and someone belived me" She asked, Chris turning around to face her.
"Scientists would want to capture me and study me, never leaving me alone" He clenched his fist " They would take away my puzzle and use it for scientific reason's, probably so they can understand about it more so they can produce counterfiet puzzles so everyone will have one dangling around there neck" Chris growled at the very thinking of it. " Would you want something like that to happen to me"
"No, I wouldn't, I dont know you very much but no one diserve's to be taken away from there home to be studied" She said.
" so do you promise" Chris asked again, she nodded.
" I promise, I wont tell anyone" She said which made Chris smile.
" Thank you Dana" He said.
END FLASHBACK
" Yeah I remember that, like you said I never forget a fight, well, not the one's im in anyway" Joey laughed.
" I'll never forget how good that felt, it felt weird, yet it felt cool" Dana said as Chris smiled.
" What worried me was the fact that you might have told someone about it, but when I asked you out for the first time, I forgot all about it, but talking today made me remember it" Chris said taking a deep breath.
Dave looked at his watch said 3:00
" Man, been telling storys all day" John said.
" Got nothing agains't it, its feels like one of those days you wanna be lazy" Sargent said.
Chris laughed " I dont blame you, I've been lazy all day, telling you guys story's"
" You feel lazy, we have been sitting here listening for over 7 hours, we havent talked once so I feel kinda lazy" Sargent chuckled.
"Well boys, story times not over yet" Chris said as they all looked confused.
" Huh" They all said.
" I didnt tell you what happened on our date, of course once again we got attacked"
FLASHBACK
They were both at the movie's, watching I robot with Will Smith in it. Chris swung his arm over Dana and she smiled.
"Enjoying the movie" He asked staring at her bright smile.
"Yes, very good movie" She replied.
" I'll be right back, rest room" Chris said getting up.
"Ok" She said eating a few piece's of popcorn at a time. While Chris was gone a couple of guys decided it would be the perfect time to have a little fun. They both got up with evil intention's in there eyes. One of them sitting right next to her
"Hi" He said giving a smile that had evil written all over it. The other guy sat right behind her as she carefully eyed the two.
" Hi" She almost whispered.
" Hey, why hang out with that loser when you can hang out with us, well treat you real nice" The man smiled a evil smile. He tried putting a arm around her but Dana shoved it off.
" Leave me alone" She yelled.
"Fiesty arent we" The two laughed. The one in back of her playing with her hair.
" Lay off" She said again.
" Take it easy, we just want you to come with us" The man beside her took her wrist aggressivly and held it up, pulling her out of her seat. " Now come with us, its time to have a little fun" The two laughed and started pulling on her.
"Let me go" She screamed. " Chris help me"
At that very moment Chris walked back in and saw the whole thing, seeing Dana getting pulled around like a rag doll " Allright guys let her go, unless you wanna ware your ass for a hat" The man who had her wrist let her go and Dana sat down in her seat, favoring her right hand. They both turned to face Chris who was smiling at them both.
" I dont see what your smiling about, I'll wipe that smirk off your face" The man said.
" I'd like to see you try, im smiling about the fact that im gonna kick both your ass's and deep down you guys know it" The puzzle around Chris's neck began to glow and the yellow eye appeared on his forehead once again and got serious. " K who wants a beating" He asked
" You punk"
" Chris please becareful" Dana said.
" Dont worry about me, just be careful yourself" The man threw his fist at Chris who caught it easily, the other side kicked Chris in the side which made him groan in slight pain. He kneed the guy he had in his hand in the stomach making him short of breath. Then kneed him in the stomach again and he fell to the floor in pain. Chris turned to the one who kicked him.
" Beat it your no match for me" Chris smircked.
" You little" Before he could finish his sentence Chris punched him in the stomach with all his force causing him to fall down to the ground, holding onto his stamach, and crawled out the door. Chris picked up the one who he hit with his knee and turned his head to face Dana.
" Before you get hurt more, say your sorry to the lady" The man growled as Chris punched him in the back, causing more pain.
" Im...sorry" He said spitting out blood. Both Dana and Chris smiled.
" Now get out of here" Chris said letting him go and watch him run as fast as he could right out the door. His attention went back to Dana as he went back to normal. " Are you ok" He asked.
" Yeah, im fine" She said happily.
Chris sighed in releaf " Good, dont think id forgive my self if you got hurt" He said sitting back down to his seat. Dana looking at him with a curious look.
" Umm Chris" She asked, he turned to greet her with a smile.
" Yeah" He asked back.
" Where did you learn to fight like that" She wondered.
"Oh, I have been taken martial arts since I was 10 and stopped when I was 14 cause I moved up here, since then I have been training everyday to become a good fighter, you will have to find a pretty good fighter to match me" He said.
" That why you took it easy on those guys" She asked, Chris nodded.
" Yeah, if I beat them up bad I could get sued for taking unnessary risks to win a fight so I purposely hold back. That's why I smile in most fights most of the time. I give them a chance to realize that they are no match for me and give them a chance to run, if that doesnt work then I wait for them to wise up and run" He said.
" That explains why your so fit" She smiled looking at his rock hard chest.
" I dont work out just to be strong, I work out because it makes me forget stuff at times, gets my mind off fights and shit like that, just focusing on working out is a stress reliever for me, its been working for me for years now" Chris said looking into her blue eyes.
" I cant see how it gets your mind of shit" She said.
" I cant explain it myself, but it just works for me, I lift weights, it gets my mind of shit, only working out matters and nothing else" Chris said then his eyes went back to the movie. " Hey, can you ever focus on just one thing and forget everything else"
"Well...I like to draw" She said happily.
" Hey, thats pretty cool, so do you focus on just that one thing while your drawing and forget everything else in the world" He asked, she nodded happily.
"Yes, I put my heart and soul into drawing one thing, not thinking about anything else, only the drawing matters" She said.
"Well, thats the same way I feel when I excercise, nothing else matters, just working out matters" Chris said giving her a small smile.
" I think I understand" She said another question entered her mind " Do you get into fights often"
Chris turned to her and smiled " I only fight when I feel I need too. I dont fight just for kicks. Actually, the first time I faught in awhile was when I stopped those two guys a couple weeks ago. First time I fought in a like 5 months" He said turning back to the movie.
"So he fight's to protect, that must be why he saved me that night from those two men" She thought to herself.
" This is getting boring" Chris grunted at the movie. Dana smiled at him for getting mad over a stupid movie.
" Dont tell me your bored" She asked and Chris nodded " Bored with me" She asked, Chris's eyes widend.
" Of course not, I never feel bored around you" She smiled and got closer to his lips and Chris got closer to hers at the same time. They both meet each other in a passionate kiss which seemed to go on for eternity and both seperated from the lack of air. " I love you Dana" Chris said as she leaned her head on his shoulder.
" I love you too Chris"
END FLASHBACK
" Man Chris, fights left and right, dont you ever stop" John asked sarcasticly. Chris laughed.
" Its like I said, I fight when I need to, I dont fight to release my anger or for sport, then I'd get sued, like I said before, other times I have no choice, if its the only way out" Chris said with a small smile pointed towards Dana. she smiled back and Chris took her hand.
" You were right Chris, there is one memory worth remembering, us two meeting each other, I'll never forget it, thank you" She said giving Chris a gental kiss on the lips.
" It's no problem, just helping out someone who needed it. Well its late im turning in" Chris said walking off to bed and quickly falling asleep, not before saying good night to Dana kissing her slightly on the cheek and his head falling lightly on the pillow and slowly fell asleep.
