Dimitri POV
…..
Waking up with a pounding headache it takes me a moment to get my eyes to focus. Looking around I see white colored walls with a small tv hanging in front of me. The sound of a machine beeping next to my ear is irritating.
Slowly sitting up in bed I feel a sharp pain shoot through my back and right arm. Looking at my right arm I see white cotton and blue wrapping going from my wrist all the way up to my shoulder.
I use my right hand and slowly pull the iv out of my left arm.
” What are you doing? You have to rest.” A female voice tells me. Looking over at who is talking I realize it is Mary.
She has a bandage on her upper right arm. Along with a bandage wrapped around her head.
” Mary, You are suppose to be in bed. You have a bad head wound. You shouldn’t be up.” Liam says as he comes into view.
When he notices I am awake. He smiles at me nervously, ” Your awake.”
” No, I am alseep with my eyes open!” I snap at him as I pull the blankets off of me and realizes I don’t have any pants on. All I am wearing is this crappy hospital grown.
” How long have I been unconscious?” I asked Liam. ” And where the hell are my clothes!” I add.
” You been unconscious for about two weeks.” Liam tells me.
Two weeks?
Touching my face I don’t feel a beard. It is still shaved and smooth from me shaving it this morning.
” Stop fucking around and tell me! This isn’t a time for jokes! Not when Amara has been taken by Daniel!” I snap getting to my feet.
” You have been out for about six hours.” Mary says answering in a quiet tone.
Six hours! Son of bitch!
I need to find Amara quickly before that assholes marries my women!
” When I come out of the bathroom I expect to have clothes laying on my bed!” I snap at them as I enter the bathroom and shut the door.
Looking at myself in the mirror I clench my jaw seeing the damage done to my back.
I can’t believe I fell for the oldest trick in the book. I just didn’t think Daniel and his little friends would have the balls to do something like this to me. When I get ahold of Daniel I am going to burn him. So, he feels my pain.
I do my business and wash my hands the best I can, before stepping out of the bathroom. I notice Lucia sitting in a chair next to the bed.
” Where did Liam and Mary go?” I ask him and see my clothes laying on the bed just like I had requested.
” Liam went to walk Mary back to her hospital bed. Also Sadie and our parents have been moved to a safe house.” He tells me softly. ” I don’t think you should be leaving the hospital. You are in pretty bad shape man.” Lucia adds in a worried tone as he gets to his feet.
” I will rest after we get Amara back. As for now go get a doctor to prescribe me some pain killers. So, it doesn’t hurt as much to move around.” Taking my pants off the bed I slowly start putting them on. When the waistband rubs against part of the bandage. I clench my teeth to keep from groaning in pain.
This has to be worse than being shot. It’s a burning sensation with a pain constantly throbbing throughout my body.
Guess I know how all those people I burned alive felt. Which means burning them alive was a great idea for torture.
” Dimitri you should let me and Liam handle it.”
I scoff at him as I take off the hospital grown and struggle to get my buttons up shirt on. Lucia walks over and helps me slide my arms into the sleeves.
” I can button it myself.” I snap at him irritatedly as I began to button up my shirt. I watch as he sighs and rubs his hands over his face.
” You really should be resting.” He tells me again.
” You should be going to get my pain medication, before I show you that I can still kick your ass!” I snap at him.
” Fine!” Lucia snaps as he walks out of the room.
I grab my black jacket and slowly slip it on my right shoulder. As I try to maneuver my left arm into my jacket sleeve. The pain in my back throbs and aches.
Damn it!
Guess I should have waited until I was fully dressed before yelling at him.
After twenty minutes of struggling and pain. I managed to get my arm through my sleeve. I see my cellphone laying on the bed and pick it up. I place it in my jacket pocket just as the doctor walks in with Lucia.
He hands me two white pills and a cup of water. I take the pills from the doctor and pop them into my mouth, before washing it down with water.
” I wrote a prescription for you to go pick up.” He said handing me a piece of paper.
I glance at it before looking at the doctor. ” Go get me a bottle from the back to take with me.” I don’t have time to stop at a pharmacy to pick up pain pills. I need a bottle to take with me.
” Sir, we can’t do that. We have policies in place for pain medication. If I give you a bottle I could lose my licenses.” The doctor tells me.
” What is more important? Your job or your life? Because I am about two seconds from sending you to meet Jesus.” I threaten him and watch as his eyes go wide.
He swallows hard before speaking, ” I-I will be r-right back with that bottle.” He says before taking off.
” He just doing his job.” Lucia tells me.
” I don’t give a shit. Now what happen after I passed out?” I question him.
” Me and Liam got blasted into a bush a few feet away from you. I saw Nate taking a picture of you unconscious. It is possible Nate and James reported you as dead to Daniel.” He tells me.
” Did they notice you were wake?” I asked him.
He shakes him head, ” No, we were buried in a bush. It is possible they thought the blast sent us flying. Which it probably would have if they added more explosive. Instead of just gasoline and propane gas from the stove.”
Yeah, those do make a big explosion but it wasn’t enough to send us flying a hundred yards away. From what I can remember it was only just a few feet.
” Have you found his new hideout?” I question him as Liam walks into the room with a wheelchair.
” No, but we know he is trying to marry Amara. So, we checked all the churches and got a hit off the one down Denver street. Daniel is too show up around seven in the morning to get married.” He tells me.
” Let’s go to the church first and see if we can beat the information out of the prist that is suppose to marry the two of them.” I say taking the gun Liam was handing me.
Instead of placing it in my waistband. I just place it in my jacket pocket, before walking past Liam.
” Your suppose to let me wheel you out. It is hospital policy.” Liam says following me with the wheelchair.
” I don’t need it I can walk just fine.” Besides If I sit in that wheelchair I won’t be able to get out of it.
Walking down the hallway I spot Mary standing by the exit door. I hear Liam let out a groan, ” Go back to you room and rest.” He tells her.
” I am coming with you! I can still fight! This head and gunshots wound isn’t going to slow me down.” Mary says crossing her arms over her chest.
” Fine, let’s go.” I says seeing the doctor walk up with my pill bottle. Taking the bottle from the doctor. I place it in my jacket pocket before walking past Mary.
Liam gasp, ” No, she needs bed rest!” He snaps.
” I don’t have time to agrue with her about resting. I want Amara back in my arms as soon as possible! Not deal with you two fighting in the middle of the hospital entrance. Now shut the hell up and let’s go before I leave you both here!” I snap at them.
I don’t have time for their bullshit. I want to find Amara before Daniel touches her in anyway. She is mine and mine only.
She belongs to me.
