“Come, breakfast is ready.” Anika spoke gently, stepping close to Derek. Her arms reached by him and scooped up her son. When he was safely tucked on her left hip she placed her right hand on his shoulder. “The table is right there. You can see her from there.”
“I can’t eat without her.” He gently spoke, stroking the back of her hand with his thumb praying she woke soon. For a woman he has only known a few days he was so attacked. Something he knew he shouldn’t be as his girl was out there somewhere.
“You need to. Derek, she needs you strong. If you stop eating and healing you will be back to square one. She needs you.” Anika gently spoke to him trying to comfort his troubled heart. “Plus you're not even leaving the room because you will be right there.”
As the sun began to set, so did her eyes. She held her puppy close as the trees cushioned her safely. They didn’t want their princess to fall, especially from the height she was at. Alaska snuggled into her mommy as gently as she could. She wanted to make sure her fluff covered as much of her as it could for warmth.As the sun fell behind the horizon Derek’s heart broke. He let her go, took his eyes off her once more and now here he was. The tears began to fall down his cheeks as his knees hit the dirt softly. He should have just died in their hands. He should have let himself be killed then this would have never happened. She would be safe in the arms of a man that can actually keep her safe.A doe stepped out from behind a tree and pushed him. His pain was radiating out and she knew why. The answer in her eyes as she looked down into his green one
Derek quickly swam toward the surface hoping to catch the intruder's eye. He had to protect his fairy. Her life depended on it as he broke the surface. His hair now a forest green and his shirt gone. The six pack they forced him to keep was on display. He used to have an eight pack. Something he swore he would get back now that his girl had been found.“There he is.” Someone yelled. Derek smirked knowing they would now follow him. He used the water and got onto land. His legs becoming known as he began to run amongst the trees. When they caught up to him the earth took over helping him keep ahead using little to no energy. He knew he had to be careful. He still had to get Anya to safe place once he got away from them.“Come on guys. Your slow.” Derek annoyed the men as they growled in response. He knew they were getting frustrated. He ha
The cold water began to suffocate her as she tried to fight her way to the surface. She felt a pressure, not only on her back, but that of her legs as well. The night sky not helping her any as she was being flipped this way and that by the harsh waves. Anya had no idea where she was or why she was here. She wished that info would come.‘Help.’ Her voice was so weak as the last of the air escaped her lungs. She prayed someone would hear her. Out of the dark swam a fish. She began to reach for it hoping it was large enough to help her. The beautiful deep green scales flashing in the light as his hands reached out for her. This startled her. No fish had hands.This fish lips soon captured hers giving her air to which she gladly took. He released her lips to let her blow out before he took her lips to his again. A spark fall
A chill settled in when she felt Derek let her go. She wanted to complain but she just wasn’t able to. Her body betrayed her as she fought for it to do something. She knew he was about to do something stupid. She fought for a while before she heard the first gun shot. Her body stilled.“Easy Anya, he’s okay. I promise he’s okay.” Andrew cooed to her trying to comfort her. He knew she was partially awake but prayed she would fall back asleep. This wasn’t looking good for Derek.“Der…”“He’s just roughing up the bad guys. We will rest right after okay.” Andrew stopped her. As she opened her eyes he stiffened. She may not fully hear what was going on but Andrew could. His hands were over her ears trying to keep everything that was being done at ba
The crunching of gravel reminded her of the sound the hammer made as it ended her life. The love of her life celebrating the divorce like she was such a burden on him. The gentle breeze sending shivers up her spine much like the feeling of loneliness as she sat there in the courtroom. The love of her life kissing a mistress off somewhere not even caring the women he once loved was broken. No one cared, no one showed up to support her. She crouched down as tears fell from her face. She wanted to hide to be rid of all this pain. She couldn’t believe a man she loved so much did all of this to her.A ball of fluff came bouncing towards her and wiggling into her lap. Its nose gently sliding up to the crook of her neck as her memory was broken. She smiled down at the small 6 month old malamute puppy. Her fingers running through it’s pure white fur as she held its crystal blue eyes with her own. This and 15 thousand dollars was all she had from the marriage. He too
“Alaska,” Her beautiful chimes rang out after the fluff that took off. She just smirked as she slowly rose from where she was enjoying the afternoon sun. She had found a clearing where they decided to take rest. The trees surrounded the area, giving her protection from the wind. The brush hiding the paths out as animals secretly watched her. They where intrigued a human with as much Grace and beauty would be in there forest. They did not feel threatened by her nor did they feel she would ruin there peaceful home.She gently stepped away from the clearing following the path her puppy had run down. It waited for her to follow before leaving a short distance. She just giggled as she ran after it. The forest giving her peace knowing nothing was here to harm her. She could open herself freely and be who she felt most a peace with. The gentle breeze blew the feeling of water causing excitement to bubble in her. She loved water, weather from the tub or the small happy mo
Her eyes gently fluttered open as a chill ran through her. She found herself laying on the cool forest floor. Slowly sitting up she looked around before the evenings events played over in her mind. She quickly rose to Yelp as her knees spiked in pain. The small bruises have worsened and her pants where not big enough to support the swelling. They suffocated them, pressing on a few spots spiking the pain. She wanted to cry but knew she couldn’t.Her eyes fell on the dying embers, her heart dropped as she looked over at the man. His chest rose and fell which gave her some relief. Pushing through the pain she rose and walked over to the fire where, which little difficulty, got the flames going once more. The beautiful orange, yellow and read flames light lit the small area well as the sun was slowly coming up and over the horizon.The forest animals scurried around looking for shelter for the night. Alaska was chasing a rabbit in her sleep and the bird began the mor
She carefully placed the baskets down as her fingers sorted through the food. There had to be something in here she could feed him. With a sigh he fingers finally fell on a container of mashed potato’s. She quickly pulled it out as well as the BBQ chicken. She knew he might not be able to chew but she would break the pieces up quite small he wouldn’t need to but his body would at least get some protein.Alaska whined happily as she watched her mom pull apart the chicken ever so gently. She wanted a piece, it looked so deliciously juicy. She really didn’t know what it was but it looked good and that all that mattered to her. She smiled looking over at her puppy watching her. With a firm grasp she pulled off a bigger piece and threw it over. Alaska quickly jumped on it and began to bark happily. The taste was something she never tasted before.Getting the fire going once more she placed some of the mashed potato’s and chicken onto a rock close by
