Xena watched her leave and smiled "Zenyatta" She stood up and walked back home with a racing heart.

"Thanks for taking me out Matteo, I really liked it" Sadie said with a blush on her face
Matteo flashed her a smile"it's no biggy"
The two walked side by side their hands really close, Sadie had the urge to intertwine their figures but managed to control herself.
Matteo saw through her and held her hand, intertwining it, Sadie looked at him and blushed
"You're beautiful especially when you blush" Matteo told her and she bit her lower lip "you're not bad yourself"
Matteo Chuckled fondly and continued walking with her, Sadie then frowned "how do you know Anika?"
Matteo paused then looked at Sadie "well we were old acquaintances in the base"
"Base what base?" Sadie asked and Matteo frowned "she didn't tell you about being captured at Zander's base?"
"She was WHAT!" Sadie asked and Matteo scratched his head "oh oh this is not good"
Sadie left his hand and walked fast but Matteo dragged her back "pls don't say anything, she has her reasons for keeping it from you and Xena"
Sadie looked him dead in the eyes and muttered softly "okay"
Matteo's gaze dropped from her eyes to her lips, he looked at her questioning "may I?"
Sadie blushed and nodded, Matto wasted no time before kissing her, Sadie gasped and kissed him back with the same energy till-
Bang
Matteo let out a groan and Sadie broke the kiss, she looked at him and gasped "m...m..Matteo"
His chest was bleeding from where the bullet Pierces into
Matteo held his chest and dropped to his knees, Sadie burst into tears and held him "Matteo pls don't die, someone call the ambulance"
People gathered around and someone called the ambulance, Sadie kept crying as she followed the ambulance, she held unto Matteo's hands "pls don't die...pls"
Matteo groaned "Sadie.....if I don't make it-"
"Shut up BASTARD, you'll make it pls don't say that, you're scaring me pls" Sadie said between her tears
Matteo groaned and went unconscious, the nurses checking his vital raised the alarm
"Speed up he's losing it"
Sadie cried harder and held onto his hand "Matteo pls...I love you"

Anika moaned and gasped softly, she arched her back and pulled Draco's hair.
"Draco...stop I'm gonna-" Anika yelled
Draco raised his head from between her thighs and chuckled "come undone firefly"
He dived back between her legs and she screamed as she came in his mouth, her phone rang from beside her
"Don't pick it" Draco said and Anika sighed "it's Oliver, what if it's important"
"Don't pick it Anika" Draco warned and she dropped the phone, sooner Sadie called.
"Don't pick it" Draco said but Anika already took her phone, Draco snatched it and turned it off and dropped it
Anika pouted and he smirked "disobedient firefly"
Few hours later....
Draco caressed Anika's back as he hit lost deep in thoughts, Anika was resting her head on his chest breathing slowly fast asleep.
Then her eye shot open, she looked up and yawned "morning"
Draco chuckled "it's nine pm firefly" Anika checked her time and face palmed herself, she sat up and realised she was wearing a new set of pyjamas
"Did you change me" she asked and he nodded "what, you want Matteo to change you instead?"
Anika have him a blank look and stood up, she looked in the mirror and gasped, she saw the numerous purple red bites in her skin and neck
"Draco!??" She turned to him and saw he had a smug look on his face "you think this is funny??"
"Matter of facts yes I do" Draco said and she groaned "we didn't even have sex Draco why-"
"It's my mark let the whole know you're mine and mine alone" Draco stared and Anika scoffed, she walked to her bathroom to freshen up and by the time she got out, Draco was gone.
She grabbed her phone and turned it on as she made her way down the stairs "damn 347 missed calls?, urg Draco!"
100+ from Sadie
47 from Bruce
94 from Xena
Anika opened her chats and saw tons of messages
Anika where are you

Anika called Sadie and she picked immediately
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!!"
"I'm sorry my phone kinda switched off, what happened you sound hoarse" Anika said and Sadie burst into tears
"Itwes matweo hwe win twhe hwostwiple" Sadie cried talk and Anika said "Sadie stop crying first and tell me what Happened"
Sadie sniffed thrice "it's Matteo, he's in the hospital"
Anika gasped "what happened!!"
Sadie cried "just come here okay, we're in the family Hospital"
Anika hung up and took an apple when Draco came downstairs "Draco, it's Matteo, he's...he's..I'm the hospital"
Anika held his shirt "it's you, all because of you, why did you turn my phone off why" she burst into tears slamming at his chest
Draco held her hands softly "crying here wouldn't do any good"

"Sadie!" Anika walked into the hospital and Sadie stood up from where she was waiting she saw Draco behind her and the marks on her neck and saw red.
"BITCH!, This is the reason you couldn't pick my call?uh!! Matteo is in there fighting for his life and you were screwing my brother?!!"
Sadie slapped Anika across the face and Anika gasped holding her left cheek, Draco moved about to hit her back but Anika held him "leave us"
Draco looked at her and she pleaded with him with her eyes, he glared at Sadie before walking away, Anika looked at his back before turning to sadie
Anika looked at Sadie "we didn't do anything"
"Yeah and pigs can fly, I'm I supposed to believe that, look at your neck Anika!!" Sadie yelled
"So what!!! What if I was with Draco, if I had picked the call and came what change does it make? It's not like my presence could have done something"
Sadie yelled "when I called at first why didn't you pick"
Anika scoffed "how was I supposed to know that you wanted to tell me about Matteo"
Sadie yelled "well I'm telling you now it's obvious you don't care about him do you know how broken I am, seeing Matteo there, do you know what the doctor said, he said he might never wake up, Anika what can't you underst-"
"NO!!!" Anika yelled "YOU TRY TO UNDERSTAND, you were born with a golden spoon of course you wouldn't know what it's like to suffer, Bruce was there, Matteo was with me, we escaped together we do everything together and you say I don't care!??it's obvious Matteo's state is attempted murder if I were you I would stop dilly dallying and start training, who ever shot him was targeting you"
Anika walked away, angry tears falling from her eyes, Draco saw her and turned to Sadie but Anika already grbbaed his hand "let's go we come back another day"
Draco nodded and took her away, Sadie was left standing with Anika's angry words ringing in her ear.
