Chapter 11: Happy Memories, Deathly Memories
I was asleep or is sleep. I have a dream –a weird dream of something or someone.
I was running –running away from something but I don't care. I was breath hard and scared –I'm scary for my dear life. Please –please! Let him be alive! My mind was running everywhere but one was clear to me I get to get there before it to later. I see a door few feet away from me. I did not hesitation to open the door when the door open my worse fear came true. Someone grad me from behind, I scream…
"Mai!" I feel someone shaking me "Mai wake up!" I still continue scream moving my hand to protect myself.
My eyes are still close –still dream! I was look up at this blonde man or boy with sad gold eyes that I remember the very first day I met him. I shout "Why?" I start crying…
This person holds my shoulders hard while still shaking me. "MAI! Came back to me –Mai!" My eyes flash open I was breathing very hard. My eyes are still tearing, why am I cried about? "… Mai?..." my eyes were back in focus and now I look in to green eyes. "David?" I said breathless. David was on top of me his hand still holding my shoulder. "What happen?" I asks.
"we both were asleep but I heard you scream –I tried to wake you up but you scarce my arm and you shout 'Why' then you start crying. I was afraid you never wake up…" David shrug in the end. I got up to a sitting position I wince. "Mai! Be caref…" I push David off me and start running to the bathroom to the toilet and vomit. I feel David put my hair back, pat my back the all time. When I'm done I lead my head on the seat. The cold seat on my hot forehead feels good. I wince then start crying again. David put me to him like I did with him. I cried in his chest while he brush my hair back. He pick me up and bring me back to his room. He lightly put me to bed –I was still crying. He lead right next to me start brushing my hair away from my face he kiss my forehead lightly "It okay…" he said lightly to me. I did not know how long I was crying –the only thing I know was I went back to sleep.

David got up to the window he close the craned, light still went though but not that most light so my eyes are okay. David was standing there watching me, he was wearing pj pant only –no shirt. I bin sick for few days and I don't remember what happen at the Dragon Club. Everyone who visit me asks me what happen that night? And all get the same answer –I don't remember. When I tried to remember, I get every bad headache. I tell them what I remember –dancing, singing to David and the crowd. Then I tell David I love him and …everything was blear.

The boys asks one of the girl what happen and the girl said "the door is lock and there a girl in there a boy with her." That surprises both boys. Edward ask the girl "what this girl look like?" Hoping Mai was out. The girl said "the girl have black hair…" both boys push the line of girls to the door "Mai!" Edward said knock the door with his fist the same with David. No answer "Mai!" David step back few feet away the door then hit the door with his shoulder hard but fault. "Back up David we both kick the door down together!" Edward said. David nod Edward question, he do anything to get to Mai. Please be okay, David thought worry. Both boys back up then kick the door open. When the door was open the boys are shock to see Mai on the floor cover in blood. "Mai!" Edward shout shock at Mai's name. Edward ran to Mai while Mai's eyes are unfocused and still open! David stand freeze all he memorize of his family death are start to came back and replay in front of him. "Someone –anyone call help!" Edward shout it. "Mai! Don't close your eyes Mai! –Did you hear me! Damn it!" David snap out of it, he start to look around and found nobody only Edward, me and Mai…"Mai! Don't leave me – I love you!" David snap his head around when he heard what Edward said. That my girlfriend –my one true love! David thought greedy, the angry inside of him was boiled but right way his thought and feel is put to the side –right now Mai is important –she died right in front of me! David ran to Mai who eyes are close. David pick up Mai and ran out of the bathroom "Someone call 911!" David shout at the screaming people…
At the hospital Mai was in a emergency room for every long time. David, Edward, Violet, Jordan, James and Luke are at the hall wait for a doctor to tell us if Mai okay. It being two hour since we bring Mai to this hospital. –Few minutes late Lilian came with Michael right behind her. "Where is she?" Lilian said in a tight voice, her eyes were red –ready to cried out. "Where is Mai!" Lilian shout, start to sober.
Everyone was shock by Lilian shout even Violet who was crying on James' shoulder all the way to the hospital, fall asleep on James shoulder is now wake up again by Lilian's shouting voice.

I shut my mouth close from scream loud but a squeal still came out of me. "let get your hand clean up?" I nod. David pick me up and sat me at the island.

He wrap my wound with band-aid when he finish clean my wound then he kiss my cover wound. "Better?" Dave said with smile on his face. He voice was deep and low it bring chill to my spine. I hesitate little too long. David brings both hands at both side of my face. My back hit the wall with David's long strong arms at both side of my face. David lead close to me his lip brush my lip. I moan lead in, kiss him. He growl pulling us closer Deeping our kiss.

When I was full recover, I went back to morning train with David (even he does not want me to)and back to school. And yes still living with David. I still went to Lilian's house. When I first came back to Lilian's house. she and Grandpapa Ethan example me why I stand with David. But don't get me wrong I like live with my boyfriend –it just that I'm only sixteen years old and already live with your boyfriend. I like the feel of David's arm around me when we are asleep. I still get nightmare ones in while. Sometime the nightmare turn into something more than dream –more like real dream of déjà-vu –memories (I think). Sometime we did more then 'sleep' (and yes I talking about sex).
Beep beep beep! The alarm clock beeps loud to my left ear. "shut that thing off!" I turn around the oppose side of the clock. The clock stop making the noise then light hit my close eyes. I groan pull the cover over my head. "Mai Wake-up" he coco me, David shook me. I push his hand away from me turning around again. "Mai it time for train" David said seriously to me.
"Five more minutes!" I said sleepily.
"The last time I let you –you said ten more minutes then 15 minutes… now wake-up!" David shook me more. "No!" I shout at him. He did not tried to pick me up because the last time he tried that I scream so loud and long the next door bam at the wall shouting threats at us by calling the cops. So David left the room. Huh! I win! I continue to sleep when I hear soft feet step around the bed. "meow!" a cute little black and white American Longhairkitten sitting on David's pillow the kitten's blue eyes look at Mai. It "Meow!" again in cute squeal of his.
"Max…" I did not finish the sentence because cold water drop on top of my head. I scream jumping off the bed. I hear David laughing his ass off on the other side of the bed holding a huge glass in one hand. "DAVID!" I scream at him. "You should see your face!" David said still laughing. I scream hound forward at him. His eyes went wide when I was on top of him. He stop laughing. "You will regard that" I growl at him. I was wearing tank top with no bra and underwear –And I was on top of him! My hair was wet and falling on top of his naked chest. I feel his muscle tight under my touch, I lead down kisses his neck biting here and there. He moan in pleasure his arms around me. I smirk and start running to the bathroom –leavening David on the floor. "Mai!" David growl chase me to the bathroom but it was too late. I close the door and lock the door right after I hear David bam the door "Mai!" David growls my name "open the door –now!"
I laugh "Sorry cannot hear you!" I turn the water on "taking my clothes off now! ...mmm the water is warm!" the water does feel good on my skin. I moan in please. I hear David cures then the bam on the door stop. The door open hit the wall loud. I jump and scream "David!" he walk to me not caring his pj pant are getting wet his hands at both side of my head "this time you will regard it…" he said whisper to my ear before he kisses me with passion and lust in it….
We both out of the apartment right after the shower scene. We both got dresses and grab your sport bag on your shoulders –David was holding my bag for me. He still think I'm too weak to hold my stuff but not too weak to have sex with him! When we at the first floor we found Edward at the door leave. "Hey Edward! where are you going?" He turn his head around quickly "David! –Mai! How you felt?" I smile at him, "I'm fine now" then I frown " thank to David – But he will not trust me when I said 'Fine'" I point at David when I said 'he'. I smile up at him evilly. But he did not return the smile back. He was look at Edward with a blank face with a hard look in his eyes. What the?
"well he did good job take care of you –you look great" I turn my head back to Edward who was look at me softly. I nod, blush think David did more than 'take care' of me. "where are you two going?" Edward asks.
"Training…" David wince when I said 'training'. "Came on, David! Not this again!" I narrow my eye "it binged two weeks since I start train again and you still think I too weak to do anything!" I frown up at him.
"No I don't think that! It just that I'm afraid you got hurt again just like…" I interrupt him "I recover from that! I will not let that happen again." I said serious. Edward was look back and forward from me and David."Um…" Edward clean his lung, me and David turn your heads at Edward "you guy don't mind if came long?"Edward asks. I sigh grab my bag from David "I don't mind Ed –but David you come or going back to your apartment all I care –I going to train…" I walk without look back to see who is or not follow me.
When I or well I should said we get to the waterfall lake. I drop my bag to the ground. It make a big thud sound –not just my bag but David's too. I turn around to David with a small smile on my face. He still have the blank look but smile with his eye. "So… what do you two do?" Edward asks look from David and me. David nod, start to walking away. "Ookay" Edward said look at me. I roll my eyes at Edward. I kneel at my bag grabbing my arrows and bow and held up to him "target practices" I said.

"Nice shot!" Edward shout excite. The target was at the tree behind a huge rock. It was my 20th shot and it was prefect! "I know you have good aimed, Mai –but I did not know it was that good!" Edward look at me with wide eye and huge grin on his face. His face was back to normal with something in it, his hazel eyes look into my brown ones. I just nod at him still focus on train then what he feels. I turn around walk to my open bag. I put my arrows and bow in the bag and pick my fighting -stick. "what that little thing?" Edward said right behind me that make me jump. "this is my fighting-stick, Ed."
"but that too small to be fighting-stick –fighting-stick are long and wood?" Edward asks. He right about fighting-stick, they are long and wood –but my is small like my whole hand is cover it but when you turn the low of the stick it turn in to a long stick. It silver because it make from silver and it hiding two sword in it. I sometime carry it everywhere. In my boots or when I wore a skirt it will be tied on my upper leg and the skirt hide the stick. The only person who knows that is my Grandpapa Ethan and… David (not big surprise huh?). One time I was wearing a skirt we were make-out and thing got hot. When David's hand was going up at my upper leg he found my stick there. He was surprise to find it there –I on the other hand, was in embarrass. And sometime in my jacket or in my breast (bood… hehe). "you'll see" I said turn around to face David. David have his sword scabbard in on hand "Ready?" He asks me. I nod at him then we both bow at each other.
We both circle each other –both holding their weapon in hand. I broke our little dance and punch straight at him. David block it easily "You know better, Mai…" I jump back swing my leg at him. David use his arm to block my kick. Then David throw at punch at me but I block the attack. He let go of my leg and throw another punch and I did the same. We both block it. I know I'm not that strong and David have the upper hand now. He lead down to my ear "you can stop now… just said the word". I knee him right at his stomach. He lost his grip at me. fast as I can I jump back and kick him again. he tried to use his sword scabbard to block my kick but I still push him back. He was ten feet away from me. I quickly turn the switch and my small stick turn into my long fighting-stick. I charge at him swing my fighting-stick at him. He block with his sword scabbard.
I grin my teeth together –using all my strength to push him back again. he slowly got up to his feet push me back with smirk on his face. I got mad. I knee him again but this time he jump back away from me. "Nice tried Mai" David smirk at me "the first one was lucky." I put both hand in the middle of the stick then twist. click I smirk at David while I pull one side of the stick up and the another down reveal my two sword. I twist the left sword around to a different position, along with my arm. My right sword in front of my face, the tip of my sword pointing at my left. David eyes shine with danger in it. He take out his sword out of his scabbard. He drop his scabbard then swing his sword around then twist it around. "Show off!" I said still smirk at him. We both charge at each other and swing our sword at the same time. My right sword at David's sword. Our sword block each other attack make metal and metal clasp together sound. We were like that for while. Then quickly he got my right sword off my hand but lucky I have my left sword. I walk back and step something that make me fall back. David swing his sword not realize what happen. "Mai!" Edward shouts. I forgot he was here. I dock my head down and roll backward then got to my feet again. my hair was in high ponytail now fall down. David stop stared at me with wonder. I charge at him will I still have a chance. I change my sword position and elbow him. I use my shoulder to push him down. I was on top of him. My sword 20 inch away from David top head. We both breath hard even me (well especially me!) "you … lose… Dave!" I said between breathing. He look up at me with smile on his face "Finally the student surpass the teacher." David said.
"Shut up!" I said groan when the pain at the side of my rib where David hit me in the begin. I wrap around my side with my arm. Shut my eyes tightly. David got in sitting position "Mai what wrong?" David asks me concern.
"My rib hurt little bit –it nothing , I'm fine Dave."
"I knew it" David whispers softly. He pick me up in bride style. "Dave –n!" I groan again. Edward run to us "What happen to Mai?" Edward asks.
"nothing! I'm fi-!"
"no more train Mai! We going home no school for you today!" David said interrupt me. I groan not in pain but in angry. "you are still weak, Mai! You look fully recover in people eyes but in my eyes you are not!" I stop groan, look up at David. He look so concern and sad but the thing that catch her attention is David's eyes, all the love that for me is in his eyes. "He right, Mai" Edward said. I stop argue with David, look down at my hands. Both boys look at me waiting, I only nod once. "But one thing I want to do." David open his mouth to said something. I quickly tell them what I want. David eyes went wide in shock while Edward was just confuse. "Will you just take me to Amy Rose shop –please?" I ask them. I look up at David. His face was blank but I know him better, in his eyes they were sad, lonely and hunted looking. David just nod at me.

I kneel at the ground putting colorful flower on top of two grave stones. I heard soft feet step stop right next to me. David kneel down his head was bow down. I see single tear fall off of his face. I put a hand on his shoulder seize it little to let him know I'm here. I turn my head at the grave stone. It read:

I hug David, who head is still bow. I kiss his top head. "you remember?" David whisper so low I surprise I hear it. "Yes" softly I said "they were like family to me… How can I forget? They take me like I'm one of their own daughter." I feel David shook, he look up at me with those sad eyes. Tears fall down his face. I feel my own tear fall down my face. We both look back down at the grave stone few more minutes.
I know Edward is watching us because I feel his eyes watch us. Edward stay quiet. Then he broke the peaceful silent "Ready to go?" Edward ask quietly.
I turn my head at Edward not bother to whaps the tears off my face. "Yes" I said then to David gently I said "come on David –you know I cannot walk without you" David only nod his head once. He get up to his feet. I raise my arms up at him. Intend of carrying me in bride style David give me piggyback ride. "Come on Edward" with that David start walking. I turn my head back to the grave stones one last time think to myself, good-bye Raven, good-bye Jack I watch over your son I promise we visit soon. I turn my head buried my head in David's shoulder.
