Chasing Dawn : Tick-tock

And Then There Were Four

I wish I could explain your eyes,
And how the sound of your voice
Gives me butterflies.
How your smile makes my heart skip a beat.
And every time I'm with you,
I feel complete.

Derren's POV:

I finally woke up.

I shouted to see if any of my friends are there.

I hopped out of bed.

A sharp pain then merged in my abdomen.

I then fell to the floor.

The pain, it was unbelievable.

"Derren?"

"Derren's awake guys."

Someone shouted.

I tilted my head up to see who it was.

Friska.

She gave me her hand.

I grabbed it and pulled.

She helped me to get up.

"Sit down."

Friska told me.

I sat down.

Looked at by abdomen.

It was bandaged.

Then Clara came.

"Stay still stupid, you were shot."

Clara said.

"Your lucky the bullet went through."

"And also we got a donor for you."

Arron told me.

"Donor?"

"For what?"

It was then I realized that there was a needle inside of me that was giving me blood.

"Oh."

"So who's the person I got to thank?"

Clara looked at Friska.

"Oh no."

I said with disbelief.

"Are you serious?"

"Friska?"

I looked at Friska.

"We just killed your bestfriend and her family and your willing to give me your blood?"

"No, I refuse to believe that."

"Unless, you were offered something."

"Clara? What did you offer?"

I looked at Clara.

"Well, it's simple."

"Friska gives you blood."

"In return, she gets an exclusive with you."

Clara said.

"An exclusive on what?"

I asked.

"On UNIT. On this team. On you."

Clara said.

"That's not your call, even if UNIT wants to go public. "

I told my sister.

" Yeah, I'll talk to Vertic. UNIT doesn't even have a reporter to do the story yet. "
