Chapter 15 - Danielle Jr.

Torma..

LEVI ARCANE;

The pain shot through my torso, I knew it was the bullet. This human wasn't clueless about our kind. The smell of burning flesh stung my nostrils, it made me sick.

The fact that it was mine didn't sit me well either, I didn't think I tasted delicious after that.

All those girls I was with definitely lied to me!

I forced myself up and took in my surrounding, burning trees. Smoke..if I survived this bullet..Who am I kidding, there was no surviving this. At least the smoke would knock me out along with the blood I was losing. The fire wouldn't devour my living body but a corpse.

My corpse.

'Hello?' I heard a voice, sounded feminine but she'd help. I just prayed she didn't have those manicured nail extensions. If she did..then we'd be both as good as dead. 'Anyone there?'

The voice sounded familiar. I coughed and studied the hiking boots before me. She was definitely small..such feet.

'You have got to be kidding me!' I heard her groan, my eyes met with the familiar piercing teal eyes through the smoke. I adjusted my vision and saw Danielle's teenage daughter.. Sophia?

She turned to leave when I growled. 'Dont you have the decency to help me?!'

She was frozen in place studying her surrounding for the source of the growl. I rolled and tried to speak again when I coughed.

Maybe I was wrong, the smoke was just making my death more painful.

'How come you are in the forest fire?' She asked carefully making her way to me. She gasped as soon as her eyes saw my bullet wound.

Quickly reaching for her shirt, she pulled it off and placed it over my wound, applying pressure.

I growled, my eyes accidentally glowing. She shot back in fear.

'What are you?' She whispered. I could see her intentions to flee. Danielle had clearly not informed her about the different "mythicals" they taught her at her stupid human schools.

'Listen to me carefully kid!' I coughed and luckily, she nodded. 'I need you to pull out the bullet?' Her brows creased, she moved further from me. She shook her head.

'That is dangerous.. let's just wait for the authorities!' She attempted to put pressure on my wound again. I growled at her intentionally showing her my eyes.

She looked genuinely shocked again. I tightly held her arm to prevent her from fleeing. She struggled to remove her arm from me. 'Do you think the authorities would help me?' I showed her my eyes again.

Her eyes turned to the bullet wound, she was petrified when she saw smoke from it. 'What is it doing?' She asked.

'It is killing me.. and I'll definitely die if you don't pull the bullet out!' I emphasized the last part. She looked at me her color returning to her face.

'Well I am no doctor!' She yelled in shock.

'I can see that!' I growled feeling my energy run low. I wasn't going to survive this if she didn't help me.

'Please listen to me.. Cindy!'

'Samuelle Johnathan!' She corrected.

'Yah.. whatever! Just pull it out!' I whispered feeling weaker.

Damn.. this conversation was getting weird. I could remember another pull it out scenario.

'If you're talking about your tongue I'd be glad to..' She found the nerve to smile and I rolled my eyes.

'Focus Samuelle!' I growled one last time.

'Oh..hey you got my name right this time!' She continued to find amusement in this.

'Oh I better get on with this..' She gestured at my wound. I nodded feeling her hands getting closer to my wound. I grabbed her hand before reaching my wound.

'Be gentle!' She nodded hastily.

'Try not to move a lot!' She spoke directly to my eyes before I felt her finger poke into my wound. I gritted my teeth to stop them from snapping at her. Animal instincts!

Another finger of hers penetrated the wound and I felt her touch the bullet. She had to work quickly with the speed at which the bullet was sinking in me.

She begun pulling it out it carefully when her fingers slipped over the bullet hitting the sides of my wound with force. It was a small action but the pain inflicted was..

... indescribable.

'Hurry!' I huffed through gritted teeth. I was doing a lot not to cry in front of Danielle's kid..I didn't want her knowing one of my most cringe moments.

She repeated the same procedure. Unfortunately, when she almost got it out..the same thing happened. This time I growled in pain, she shot back fearing that I'd bite her or something.

I lay back still waiting for her to return, surprisingly she did. This time she seemed more focused. I felt her fingers penetrate the wound quickly at the same time leaving it. There was a little struggle when the bullet reached the opening, she had to include another finger to remove it but she did.

Immediately the bullet left my body, I felt it drop by a lot to it's normal injury temperature. She dropped beside me panting, I took in her petrified sweaty self.

Drama Queen!

I forced myself up when I heard the sirens. Samuelle sat up staring at me, she looked confused. It hit me that she hadn't heard the sirens yet. Human ears.

'I am leaving!' I told her wincing when I stood. I took my first step and staggered. She was quick to be at my side to support me.

I pulled myself from her when she grabbed my arm, unintentionally making me stretch my wound. I winced again.

'See! Let me help you!' She carefully wrapped her arm around my waist and avoided any contact with my wound. We took the first steps and blood oozed from it.

She looked away almost puking, I rolled my eyes. She could stand blood when she half ran me over but not now.

She left my side and returned with her shirt. I watched as she wrapped it around my waist. I stood still knowing it had to be done. She tied it over my wound tightening it. I gritted my teeth and I felt her arm back around my waist.

'You can't support my weight!' I spoke to her. She scoffed.

'Mom is so..gonna be thrilled when I tell her I saved your butt!' I growled when she completed.

'Jeez.. language..I know grandpa!'

I rolled my eyes for the nth time.

'I am not your grandpa!' I grumbled.

'And.. Samuelle?'

'Yes?' Her face looked up at mine. She looked happy I finally was calling her by her right name.

'Let's not tell Danielle about this?' I raised my brows at her. She groaned childishly before biting her lip in defeat.

'Fine!' She huffed. I looked at her intensely.

'Give me your word!' I continued to look at her.

'I give you my word!' She grumbled repeating it out loud when I told her to. 'Jeez.. grandpa!'

'I am not your grandpa!' I growled as we moved.

'But you are something!' She murmured.

'What was that?' She gave me a childish smile.

'Nothing..' She whistled awkwardly before speaking again. 'I know you have a crush on my mother!'

I kept quiet after that.

The journey went on in silence. Freaking Samuelle Johnathan!?
