Cabin 4

Chapter 18: Sin

~Derek's POV~

"Bye, Derek," she says. She steps outside and runs away from me. All I see is her back turned and her legs slowly moving away from me. The emptiness inside of me is unexplainable as I step into the bedroom. She left me. How could she? What did The Governor do to her? What happened to her old self? Why--

My thoughts are interrupted by a creaking noise coming from the front door. I silently tip toe towards it, reminding myself to be cautious. All I see is a wide open door. No one.

I sigh and turn around. A figure blocks my way, and I gasp and try to run away, but a force grabs me and sends me flying into the bedroom. I realize the figure is The Governor.

I narrow my eyes at him. "What do you want?" I say coldly. He just smiles and grabs a cloth. I try to fight him as he ties it on my mouth, like a gag. I punch him in the jaw as he grabs belts to tie me on, and he stares at me harshly. "I guess we have to do this the hard way then." He says. He grabs a knife and puts it up to my throat. I obey his every word. Then he ties me to a chair.

I then hear someone coming through the door. Oh no, I thought. Alex...

The Governor smiles and grabs the knife again, putting it to my throat as Alex walks into the room. Her eyes widen with worry and fear as she stares at me, then at the Governor. Her hands move to her mouth and she shakes her head back and forth.

"Why hello, a pleasure to see you again Alexandra," he spits.

Her voice trembles as she says, "P-Please don't hurt him. Take me instead, he deserves to live, I don't."

My eyes widen and I shake my head multiple times when I hear Alex say my biggest fear. I struggle at the tight belts and do my best to stop her. It's no use.

"Awww, so brave, so sweet. But no, I want both of you," he says with a sinister smile.

Alex gulps. "You can do whatever you want to do to me, just don't hurt him."

When I her say this, I violently shake my head and try to say, "No!! Go Alex, run!"

She steps forward. "Alright," he says. "It's a deal." I practically scream and if I could, I would rip his throat right out and hug Alex tightly.

He grabs her harshly and says, "Time for your punishment for running away."

My breath turns shaky and I finally get the gag off me. "No Alex! Run! Please Alex, please!" I say desperately.

She looks down and says, "You'll be happy Derek. Don't worry about me. Go find the love of your life, get a family, be free from all this." She motions to the situation.

I still refuse. She whispers something in The Governor's ear and he walks over to me, and unties me. I rub my wrists and pull Alex into a tight hug.

"You can't leave me Alex. You are my only friend." Tears dwell in my eyes.

She smiles sadly and says, "You'll make new friends, and you'll forget about me."

I shake my head and let the tears fall down my face as The Governor pulls her away.

I fall to my knees helplessly and say, "Don't worry Alex. I will save you. I will die for you."

And the tears still pour down my face, and I expect them to wash away this terrible feeling like my heart is sinking, but they don't cleanse my only sin: letting Alex go...
