“What?” She sat up more, her eyes wide with fear. “How did they know her number?” She bites her lower lip and turned her head away. She takes a deep breath. She shakes her head as she turns her head. “She is going to kill me…” She knew her mother would be anger…there was no way to pay the bill for this place and second she had pissed off Alex…no small matter. “Look I thank you so much but I have been in worse shape then this…” She shoved the blanket off of her and slowly started to get out of bed.

As if self-conscious about his hair, he reached back and pulled it up into a loose pnytail. He shook his head, pulling up a chair next to her bed. "I couldn't stop them.... They called your mom.... I told them that wasn't necessary, but I guess they don't listen to my even though a pull alot of weight around here.... Besides, I can't let a person as drugged as you to leave..... You were beat up pretty badly...."

A soft groan left her lips. “Uh I thought so…” She mutters closing her eyes. It hurt to even open them. She winced as he picked her up, god did they kick every part of her body? Because it sure felt like it…she pressed her self to him, her cheek resting lightly on his shoulder. She didn’t even look at what he was doing. She didn’t care she knew she was safe with this man.

Slowly her eyes open and she saw the ambulance and she wondered how it got there. She fought him a little. “Please…I am fine…” But what was the use? She was already in and they were already doing things. They gave her drugs, which made her feel quite good and then they fixed her nose which kind of hurt, but only for a moment. She sat up on her pillows when he came in, smiling softly at him. “I have had it worse and the drugs are making me feel quite good.” She took a deep breath. “Can I go now?” She needed to get out of this place, there was no way she could pay for it and her mother…oh god…how much trouble she would be in!

Cylrien stiffened a bit, the dragon flashing full shimmer before disappearing all together. "Nothing.... You're just making things up in your head...." He slowly and carefully picked her up. He turned and walked towards the entrance. One of the guys struggled to his feet, but Cylrien dropped him with a single sweeping kick. As he emerged from the alleyway, someone screamed, seeing her.

The ambulance appeared and Cylrien climbed in, silent this entire time. Thy arrived at the emergency room and made him stay in the waiting room as they went back in the medical rooms, to help set her nose back in place. Cylrien sat back in his chair with a sigh. He was nodding off to sleep when a nurse came back to grab him, taking him to Delia's room. He shut the door silently behind himself and walked up to her bedside, smilin softly. "Are you.... alright? Does it.... still hurt?"

Though the haze of pain she heard a voice and she felt her heart turn for she knew she was being saved and she looked up. Her eyes were burning from the tears that were running down her checks. She saw him but couldn’t really make out his features, all the fault of her tears which made her vision blurry.

Felt the hands of the men holding onto her, thankful that they were holding onto to her for if they were not then she would fall. She was in so much pain. Her vision became better and she saw the man throw Alex and she almost laughed with pleasure.

As the men were thrown she slowly slid down, her shaking hands came to her broken nose which was throbbing so much. She whimpers as her finger touched it, blood was coming out so much. Slowly she lifted her eyes up to look into the face of her saver. She moved her head back, it was out of habit. “Sorry…” She muttered though her hands. “Cylrien?” A puzzled look came onto her face, she had never heard of that name before. Her eyes looked at him closely as she swore she saw something around him. “What’s the shimmering thing around you?” She though her mind was playing tricks, she had forgotten about the men who were beating her up.

"People like you piss me off....." A dark voice drifted towards them from the entrance to the alley. A shilouetted figure stood there, dressed in all black, his hands deep in the pockets of his red duster. His shockingly red hair drifted lazily in the wind.

"Why don't you stay out of our business...." Alex said, turning to face the figure.

The figure slowly starting walking forward, taking his hands out of his pockets and cracking his knucles. "Men who beat up on women are no better than even Lucifer himself." Suddenly, like a flash, he had a hold of Alex's arm. "I detest you!" He hissed in Alex's ear before swinging and throwing him out of the alleyway.

He quickly dispatched thw other two guys and went over to Delia, knealing down beside her, ignoring the feeling that the three were glaring at him. The man with red hair slowly reached out, lightly touching her forehead. "I'm Cylrien. Can you say my name?" The very faint outline of his dragon form shimmered around him as his anger rose from seeing what the three men had done to her.

Delia walked down the street, her fingers ran though her messy hair. Her fingers were shaking like crazy and she found it hard to even run her fingers though her hair. She dropped her hand, angry at her own self. She heard a sound and her head turned quickly and looked behind her, she saw a young women behind her she had dropped something. She took a deep breath. Come on…you have to calm down…she closed her eyes as she moved up the side walk.

“Delia…oh Delia your not running from me are you?” In a flash her heart feel and she stopped and she turned, her eyes opening and there before her was someone she didn’t want to see.

“Uh…” An uneasy laugh came from her lips. “No…Alex why would I run from you?” She bites her lower lip.

“Come here…” He motions with his finger.

There was no way Delia was going to walk to Alex…she knew what would happen, two men appeared behind him and she knew…In a flash she turned and ran as fast as she could, she heard the sounds of them chasing her and she cried out as she ran across the street, almost getting hit by a car but she missed it by inches and yet they were right behind her. She ran into an alley way and saw that it was fenced off but like hell that was going to stop her!

She leaped forward and grabbed a hold of the chain link fence and she started to climb when she felt hands on her cloths and she was yanked back, falling to the ground quite hard. She winced when she felt someone kick her.

“Delia! Where the hell do you think you where running to?” Another hard kick and she let out a yep and rolled into a ball holding her now very swore side. Another kick and she was pulled up and she heard Alex yelling at her but she could hear him for he had hit her, she felt her now snap and it was the worst pain in the world. Another hit and she almost fell but the men had a hold of her, she felt blood running down her face into her mouth and down her chin.
