Dilara

Chapter 49:

I fall on my chest and my phone drops out of my pocket. I reach for it but Blondie shoots it.

That's the second phone I've lost

'No one to protect you now,' she says.

I look at the back of my knee and see blood gushing out.

She shot me.

I try and crawl away from her but she grabs me by my hair and drags me towards a tree.

My dress rides up my thighs, exposing my knife. I take it out of the holster and cut the bit of my hair that she's holding.

Thank god my hair is silky and this knife can Cut skin just by touching it, otherwise it would've taken many tries.

My head falls to the ground I hit it on a stone. I feel blood on the side of my head.

Blondie walks up to me and grabs my face. My vision starts blurring because of the amount of blood I'm loosing.

I cut her across her lower abdomen and she falls in pain. I throw my knife away and cock my gun.

I shoot her left leg. Black spots start clouding my vision and all I can hear are her muffled screams.

If I'm going to die in this forest. So will she.

I shake my head and try to stable my shaking hands. I feel the back of my dress drenched in sweat.

I take a deep breath and shoot her right leg.

I still hear her screams as I try to crawl to the nearest tree. I need to prop my head up, quickly.

I lean against a tree and wipe my sweaty hands on my thighs.

I need to stop the bleeding. I try and bend my knee but this action only causes me to scream in pain.

I look around for my knife and find it. I cut some of my dress and wrap it around my knee. I can't even take the bullet out since I can't see the hole.

I take deep breaths in but I can't stop the tears coming down my face. My entire leg feels numb and I'm slowly loosing touch with my senses.

I realise my hair barely scrapes my jaw and has leaves stuck in it.

My vision slowly fades in and out until everything goes black.

************
'Dilara, Dilara wake up.' I hear someone say.

My eyelids feel heavy as I try to open them up.

'Come on please.' They say.

I slowly force my eyes open and my vision is still blurred.

'A...Adriano?' I say, my voice is croaky.

'It's me Lorenzo.' The voice says.

My arms feel heavy as I lift them and rub my eyes. My vision gets better and I see Lorenzo in front of me.

'Oh my god,' I gasp.

I hug him tightly. He hugs me back.

'Everything's going to be ok,' he says, rubbing my back.

I cry into his shoulder and we sit in silence.

'Where is the blonde woman?' I ask.
