Jade's P.O.V

   Kate turned the fuse box on. I felt like dying at that moment. The electricity bolts were so strong... I couldn't understand how I'm not dead yet. It ached me so badly, considering the fact that I've been here longer than Derek and I was about to shift and expose myself. I can't let myself shift. If Kate finds out about me, I'm dead. She turned the fuse box off. Oh, God. It feels like hell! I just want it to stop. I can't go through this again.

   "What are you doing to them? Is that gonna kill them?" Allison asked, looking terrified. I hope she has a heart, unlike Kate. Even though I don't trust the Argents.

   "Oh, come on, kiddo. Don't get all ethical on me now." Kate told her. Just hearing her voice makes my blood boil. She has no heart and she doesn't care to kill innocent people either.

   "What is he?" Allison asked about Derek.

   "Shape shifter. Lycan. Werewolf. To me he's just another dumb animal." Derek seemed annoyd by that, and I can understand him. Kate is nothing but an unthoughtful bitch.

   "And what is she?"

   "Well... She's some kind of supernatural, that's for sure." Kate muttered, smirking. I wish I could land a punch on her. "Come here. See these right here?" She opened Derek's mouth. He was so tired that his fangs were out. I fight every cell in my body to keep myself from shifting. "These are canines, also known as fangs. Made for the tearing and rending of flesh. Not something you'd find on those cute little leaf-eating herbivores, is it?" 

   "This is a joke to you?" Yes, Allison. It's a joke for her. She's a psychopath. She killed my family. She killed Derek's family. She doesn't care. She has no feelings.

   "Sweetheart, there are werewolves running around in the world. Everything's a joke to me. How else do you think I stay sane?" Kate turned off the lights. Sane?? She's a lot of things, but I wouldn't say sane. They left. Finally. I can't do this anymore. I can't take another electricity shock.

   "Derek...?" I called.

   "Yes?" He replied, his breathing was soundable.

   "I think I might shift..." I panted. I felt so exhausted, I wanted to sleep. I needed to sleep.

   "You can't, Jade. Please be strong. If not for me, then for your family. They've worked hard enough to make sure that your identity stays secret, to make sure you're safe. Don't ruin that for them." Now, I wanted to cry. I can't think about them now. I'll go berserk. "Try to be relaxed. I'll draw the attention so she hurts me more than you." I don't want him to suffer more. I want to leave this place.

   "Come on, Derek. He killed your sister. Now, either you're not telling me because, well, you want to kill him yourself, or, for some reason, you're protecting him." Kate began. She sat on a chair, tired of interrogating us. She took out Derek's license "Look at that sour face. I bet you always used to get people coming up to you saying, Smile, Derek. Why don't you smile more? don't you just wanna kick those people in the face?" I wish I could kick her face. She doesn't understand the pain Derek and I had been through because of her. She ruined our lives. We were just kids and we had to suffer dealing with the loss of our families.
