She Is Awake

"okay kid. Where do you think you are running off to?"

Before Dana could move past Dexter's range, he had stretched out his hand to grab her by the collar, and stop her from going further.

For a moment there, she forgot that Dexter is still an A ranker, with reflexes faster than her's.

"let go of me. I am on my way to finish the job you are too scared to do".

She answered, struggling to set herself free from his hold.

"listen kid. I took you in, and as such, I am responsible for your well being. You have to take a moment and think for yourself. What would happen if you barge in there, and I end up losing you".

She could not find a proper word to refute him, how could she, when everything he said is right.

Dana has the privilege of renouncing his claim over her, but she can't do that, because there was a reason she decided to abandon the people in her town, and follow Dexter's to his.
