Chapter 42 - Dimitri

"Dimitri wake up!" Ace shouted shacking me waking. "Hmm-What? What's wrong?!" I asked jumping out of sleep worried looking for danger.

I had to rub my eyes to make sure I wasn't hallucinating when I woke up. "Is it just me or am I the only one seeing this." Quinn asked next to me getting up off the ground.

We were in the middle of the forest with nothing but tall trees and more tall trees.

"Well we are definitely not in the desert anymore." I said seriously standing up when my gun fell out of the back of my pants hitting the ground with a thud.

Quinn gasp, "where the hell did you get that!" He asked making Ace turn around to see what the commotion was about.

"Shh! Shut the fuck up!" I yelled at Quinn but it was to late Ace seen the gun before I had time to pick it up.

"Dad's gun, I forgot that we even had that gun." Ace said picking the gun up handing it to me. "Be careful to not shoot yourself." Ace said hitting the side of my arm before turning around taking more of the scenery in.

"Wait, you knew dad had a gun in the house? How long have you known he had one?" I asked Ace irritated.

I just found this a year ago in one of dads old books that no one ever touched.

"I found it in dads office a long time ago when I was a kid. He begged me not to tell mom so I kept it a secret. I figure you found it when you took over dads office." Ace said shrugging his shoulders.

"Well I knew about it way before I took over dads office." I said agitated lying my ass off.

"I didn't even know about it." Quinn said looking like he wanted to go pout in a corner my himself.

"Well it's good you brought it. There's know telling what's out here or what we could run into. Now let's find out if Anya is here or not." Ace said examining every inch of the forest, when a bush a few feet away started rustling making us all tense up.

I pointed the gun towards the bush but my hand was shaking like crazy. 'I never shot anything in my life. What if it's a person? Or what if the gun flys out of my hand when I pull the trigger and I miss!'

My heart felt like it was going to stop when a fuzzy bunny hopped out of the bush. I lowered the gun letting out a sigh of relief.

"Its just a rabbit." I said trying to relax. "That's not a rabbit that's an armadillo genius." Quinn said looking at me like I was stupid.

"No that's a rabbit, armadillos are not furry dumbass." I said to Quinn sarcastically. "Well rabbits don't have shells on there back either." Quinn said studying the rabbit.

"What are you talking about theirs no shel. ." I cut myself off because their was a shell on it's back. Now that I actually get a better look at the creature, it doesn't look like any animal that I have ever seen. It even has small horns on sides of it's head.

The rabbit creature thing took one glance at us and hopped away into the lively forest. "Okay now I know for sure we are not in our realm." I said to Quinn and Ace but Ace was gone.

"Ace?" I yelled his name in a frenzy looking for him. "Over here guys, I found a dirt road!" Ace yelled from a distances. Both me and Quinn followed his voice until we reached him.

"Okay I'm going to see where this road leads, you guys stay here I'll be back." Ace said seriously turning his back on us.

I grabbed his arm in a panic. "No, don't you watch any scary movies. Every time a group splits up they get pick off one by one. The good looking guy always dies first." I said pointing to myself realizing I sound like a paranoid pansy. Quinn chuckled until he noticed I was glaring at him.

"No he's right Ace, for all we know theirs a masked murderer out here in the middle of the forest who wants to kill us for no reason." Quinn said trying to sound serious but started laughing mid sentence.

"Hahaha. . asshole." I whispered under my breath. "Fine whatever just stay behind me and if anything goes wrong just leave me behind and run." Ace said glancing between the two of us.

"Okay." I said nodding my head until Quinn slapped me in my chest. "What? I'm kidding! You know I would never leave any of you behind. Unless you know. . there's a bear then I'll trip you if run faster then me." I said teasingly but they started walking leaving me behind.

"Ohh! Come on I was just joking. Don't get so mad guys." I said jogging after them in a hurry.
