"What happened Derek?" Layden said with a smirk plastered on his face. Derek's eyes looked like they were going to pop out any moment. He kept switching between Paige and I, is he struggling? What is going on his mind? I can't even blame him he did love her too.

"You don't know who to pick do you" he pushed Derek away and signalled another man in the room and who walked towards me and then held a dagger against my neck. I sucked in a breath in order to hold in my tears as I felt the edge of the blade scrape my skin; I didn't want to die like this. I could feel that Paige was in the same position as me.

"Remove it Layden" Derek yelled and stormed towards him but before Derek could pounce onto him Layden put a halt to this attempted attack "One more step towards me and that blade to cut they heads off; you might want to rethink your decision"

"Do you honestly think you can kidnap my girl and I would let you get away"

"I think I am"

The next minute there was a massive bomb exploding in a large building next to us which created a ripple effect, causing the guy who was holding the knife on my throat to fall.

The diversion was enough for Derek to pounce onto Layden which turned into a full-blown fight. I take back what I said, Layden was suddenly on fire, it was as if he were breathing fire, the only difference between the creature that kidnapped me, was that he had a face.

I tired my best to untie the rope so maybe I could help Derek, the way the fight is going it didn't seem like he was going to win.

Maybe I was too occupied trying to free myself that I didn't even see it, it was as fast as lightening. I didn't even feel the pain, only the liquid wetting my shirt. It was only when he ripped the blade of me did I feel the pain shoot up my spine.

It wasn't a lie when they say you can see your whole life flash before your eyes as if it was a movie aside from that I could see a bit of the future, my loved one's reactions. I didn't want to die...not now.

He must have felt some sort of humanity because he cut the ropes that were keeping my hands bound. The shock overwhelmed me because I was tuned out from all the noise around me, I hesitantly moved my finger to my stomach to make sure I was not dreaming...Red stained my hand. It was true. Everything happening around me was real. It was then when the world got painted black, as I felt my life leaving my body.

"Mum don't go" said a child's voice. It was a run-down dark house. I could barely see anything, yet I walked forward as if I knew every single inch of this house like the back of my hand.

Suddenly there was this click sound and the scene changed I was in the same house just in a different part. A hole in the ground was visible, the beams of this house didn't even look steady, It could fall any moment, yet I felt safe. I approached the hole in the ground and was shocked when there was a child holding on to a piece of wood. The child seemed about six years old. The minute the child saw me she immediately yelled "Mum, save me" since I instinctively stuck my hand out to grab onto her as I began pulling her up. The tears were streaming down her face as if it was a waterfall, I pulled her close to me and began rocking her back and forth attempting to stop her tears. "Mum I don't want to die" she said in a soft tone as she looked me in the eye.

"I promise, I will never let you die" I said "Never"

I shot up from the bed gasping hungrily for air and ran my fingers through my hair to provide me some sort of comfort. At that moment I felt a chord tug my hand which made me realise I am in the hospital, but it was not really a hospital it was more of a vet place. What the hell is happening? The monitor started making a loud noise because clearly my heart was beating fast from the confusion. "You okay" said a gorgeous girl ,with strawberry blonde hair that ended by her waist, who just burst through the door. I scrunched my face at her trying to determine who she really is.

"Who are you?" I asked cautiously.

"I am Lydia" I waited for her to elaborate, she returned a confused as to what else to say to confirm her identity until a little lightbulb went off in her head "oh, I am stile's girlfriend" I let out a silent oh.

"I am Freya, Derek's girlfriend"

"I know"

"What's happening outside and why am I in this place?" I asked as I used both my hands to lift myself into a more comfortable position.

"All of Layden's men are going Bezek, they are all around the city, they are burning down every building and killing a lot of people. " she said as she handed me some medication before she continued "It's like a zombie apocalypse out there"

"What about Derek?"

"They are all out there trying to sort out the mess, we all took turns of taking care of you"

"You'll didn't have to "

"Are you insane, Derek would tear our heads of besides that I never seen him so worried" she paused for a minute with a thinking face before she said "In fact I don't think I even see any emotion from him" I smiled softly to myself when it suddenly hit me.

"What happened to Paige"

"No that was a trick Layden pulled off. He is a mad scientist he just did a plastic surgery and altered that girl's DNA"

"Oh! What happened to her now"?

"She didn't survive the stab, in fact I am surprised you survived it, you should be careful with those stiches" I lifted my shirt up and there were about eight stiches marking my body "It's definitely going to leave a scar"

"I know" and continued to say "Thank you for everything Lydia"
