“Anya please wake up.” Derek pleaded as he held her close. Not like a lover would but that of a best friend or even brother. He was worried about her. She was quiet and her breathing was normal but her stomach growled. She hadn’t eaten anything with him, it was all her just feeding him. He had to find a way of getting her some food and fast. “Alaska, is there any food left?”Alaska barked happily as she ran to her food bowl but whimpered. She had eaten it all but she got an idea. She raced over to the wagon and began to try and tug something out. Derek looked over and chuckled it was her puppy food. He tried to explain to her that it wouldn't work. The forest knew and the animals came to life. Those with hands began to gather what they could from her wagon as the trees told them what to grab.Though it took a bit they had a plate o

Anya began to stumble backwards as the pain began to seep in. She couldn’t believe it. She was so careful and here she was. The little boy in her arms began to stir as her one arm dropped from him. Her feet tripped, sending her over the edge.“Anya,” Derek screamed as he managed to get up from the wagon. His own pain filled his heart as yet he failed another woman he cared for. He couldn’t reach her in time nor could his gifts help in his state. His mind was blank as he watched her disappear into the darkness.“Well I at least got the element bender.” The boss angrily snapped. “Kill the other two.”“No.” Anika cried but as they got close a spike of ice stopped them. Derek turned to them, tears flowing down his cheeks.

Derek bolted up, sweat dripping down every part of his body as he gasped for breath. The nightmare that he has lived with is coming back worse. Not only is it him losing the princess but now losing Anya as well. His heart and mind can't take too much more of this. He just wanted to die every time it happened.His eyes fell on the Angel beside him and he sighed. He had to fight it because he promised her he would. He snuggled down to her as he sighed. He should go and shower. He was sticky and gross. She didn’t need this beside her. Rising gently he made sure to replace his body with a pillow. Alaska replaced his head area for him as he walked to the door. His eyes stayed on her as he went.The food on the table tempted him as a smile formed. He was so hungry and knew he would love to let the fluffy eggs and golden brown hash browns fill the void but the n

“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.”

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
