Eric's Point Of View
When dad said I had training every morning, he wasn't kidding. I was literally shirtless, dripping in sweat and it wasn't even over. Dad told me to go sprinting to the edge of the woods behind our house and back in only fifteen minutes. And trust me, I wasted no time.
As I was sprinting, I heard the barking of some dogs. Damn why do we live next to the woods again? The barking stopped, as I ran faster. It was only when I reached the end of the woods that I saw the dogs. It wasn't just one dog, but a pack. Circling and surrounding something, actually someone.
There laid a helpless girl, blood rushing out of the cuts on her arms and legs. She was coughing out blood endlessly, before she fell to the ground. I instantly dashed through the last of the trees as all the wolves turned to me.
They growled, making me chuckle. Did I mention that dad had me feed wild dogs as training just an hour ago? Oh and that I had some leftover treats in my pocket? Well I do. Taking the biscuit out of my pocket I throw it as far away from the girl and I as possible, all the dogs bark and ran to the treat.
Instantly, I picked the girl up and rushed to the hospital. I didn't have my car, so I literally ran. Making it to the hospital in only 4 minutes, I call for a nurse as she takes the girl from my arms and into a room. Moment later a nurse comes out.
"Sir, are you her brother?" A nurse asks.
"No." I answer.
"What are you to her?" She asks.
"Her boyfriend." I say. They have no way of proving that, unlike a family relation.
"Well, she's currently fine, but she won't be for long. Her blood type is AB, which is extremely rare, she can only receive AB. Sadly we don't have much left. And not many people have it." The nurse says.
"How long can she hold on?" I ask.
“We’re trying to keep the wound closed as much as possible and we’ve sent out news that we need someone to donate." She says.
"Okay, wait." I tell her and run out the hospital. I start asking random people if there blood type is AB. No one had it. I kept running around asking people, until I bumped into someone.
"What's your blood type?" I ask the person, not looking who they were.
"Eric?" A voice says. I finally look at the girl and realize it's Aria.
"What's your blood type?" I ask again.
"None of your business." She says. "And put on a shirt."
"Okay, I don't like you, and you don't like me. So I wouldn't be talking to you unless I was extremely desperate. So if your blood is AB then follow me. And I know you want me shirtless." I say. She thought about it before saying.
"No they are not. And fine, but why?" She answers, as we start walking to the hospital.
"I saw a girl, losing a lot blood. She passed out and now is in the hospital and her blood type is AB, and she's about to die." I say.
"You want me to donate blood?" She asks stopping in her tracks.
"Yes. Now move." I say and drag her to the hospital.
"I can't." She says.
"Why?" I ask.
"I just can't." She replies.
"Aria, come on!" I yell.
"How do you know my name?" She asks.
"The scene in court, you traitor. Now for f*****g sake move!" I yell.
"Traitor? Excuse me?!" She yells back.
"I don't care. There is a person in that hospital about to died!" I yell.
"There are millions of people in that hospital about to died. Give me one reason I should give my blood away." She says.
"Can you live with the guilt of knowing that someone died, and you could have saved them?" I ask.
"Yes." She says simply.
"Oh, come on!" I yell. "What do you want?!" I ask her.
"A favor." She replies.
"And what is it?" I ask.
"Not now, but when I come to you for a favor you do it." She says.
"Okay, deal." I yell. She final moves and we get in the hospital.
"She's AB." I tell the nurse.
"Okay." She says as Aria follows her to the donation room. I go into the girls room and watch as the blood bag on the IV decreases.
The nurse comes back, with a blood bag in her hand. She switched the bags quickly.
"Will she be okay?" I ask the nurse.
"She'll be fine. She got stitches in her back and a broke leg, but overall she'll be fine." She replies.
"I'll be back in a bit." I say and head to the cafeteria to get some water. I heard some people talking in a room, so I approached it.
When I approached the door I saw that it was a bit open. Aria was sitting on the bed talking to someone, her face was a bit pale.
"Why did you do it?" The man asks.
"Because I had to." She replies.
"Technically you didn't." The man say.
"Well, I did and know we have an advantage. So shut up, you're giving me a head ache." She says to the man.
"Lose the attitude." The man tells her.
"Sorry, but seriously keep your voice down, please." She says as she gets more comfortable in her seat and closed her eyes.
Who is the man? She said we, not me. So is he with her in the gang? Probably a member, but why were they in the hospital?
Arias Point Of View
As soon as I got out of the hospital which wasn't long, to be honest, I went home. I needed to sleep I was so sleepy, I just needed my trusty troop of silk blankets and my pillow soldiers and I just want to sleep. Sadly, that wasn't what was in store for the day.
Dukalin came home with me after we left. I went to the bathroom not caring that Dukalin was there. I changed into a tank top and shorts. I went outside and face palmed into the bed, groaning as my stomach growls. "Dukalin?" I say, removing my head from the pillow.
"Yea?" He answers.
"Get me food, please." I say.
"No." He says.
"Please, I'm injured." I say pointing to the rap around where they took my blood.
"Your the i***t who decided to give away your blood." He says.
"It's not that bad." I lie.
"What do you mean it's not that bad?! You could have died!" He yells.
"But I didn't." I say smartly.
"I don't care, the fact is that if they took a bit more blood, you would have died!" He yells.
"Well it's not my fault I was born with a disease I can't even pronounce!" I snap.
"You said you wouldn't talk about that damn disease!" He yells.
“I don’t dude. Just stop screaming. Why the f**k are you getting so pissed?” I ask.
“Because it was dumb and reckless and stupid. You don’t do this again.” He snaps.
“Okay just stop with the overdramatic shit.” I reply.
“Overdramatic?!” He yells.
“Yes, just relax.” I say, there’s no reason for his screaming and he’s just overreacting. “Wait. What’s going on?”
He never overreacts and he never yells for no reason, so why now?
“You we’re being dumb!” He yells.
“What’s actually going on?” I ask again.
“Nothing!” He snaps.
“Tell. Me!” I push.
“Nothing, Aria! Just shut up and don’t do it again!"
"I don't get why it effects you. I'm the one getting effected! So, tell me what the f**k is going on and why you are overreacting!" I yell.
"Because I love you!" He yells, that was enough to shut me up.
