The hands of the policeman fumbling around my left ankle were warm and unnerving. The chunky black bracelet was flashing green, and sending out tiny faint beeps.

"This is a tracking bracelet," stated the policeman. "it continually flashes green when you are within your house arrest boundaries," he points his chubby fingers at my ankle. "and when you step over those limits, it sends out a signal and ..."

I really didn't hear what else he had said, I just kept looking at Hayley.

As I heard the door slam behind me, I came back into reality.

Hayley came up to me and embraced me tightly in one of her legendary hugs. I return the favour, and my arms wrap around her. Oh how I have missed her warm aura and the smell of her Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume that seems to have been soaked into all of her clothes.

How her blue eyes that flicker in the sunlight, showing off her speck of brown, along with her homely smile that she always flashes at me.

"Oh Casey. I am so glad to have you home. Well this isn't my home but...y'know what I mean," she blushes. God, she is so cute when she is embarrassed.

The dinner table was all quiet. Only the sound of metal cutlery scraping against the ceramic crockery, and the soft

of the ankle bracelet, that seemed to be the miniature elephant in the room.

"It is really lovely to have you home darling," Mum said. I could see the sleep deprivation and worry in her warm ageing eyes.

All I could do was just nod and smile thinly. I knew that Mum just wanted to break the ever-present silence, but it soon went back to the norm, and I couldn't take it. I abruptly stood up, forcing my chair to fall down onto the timber flooring.

"I'm sorry," was all I could say before I walked outside.

My eyes could barely open, feeling unnaturally stiff. I struggle to get them open, streams of white light filtering in as my eyes try to adjust to the harsh rays. Above me were about half a dozen silhouettes glaring down at me.

I could make out a police uniform, along with a doctor's scrubs and some dude in a fancy ass suit.

"Kian? Are you there?" someone asked. A low, husky voice that sounds as though it has been dragged through the gravel one too many times.

I try to reach to rub my eyes free from grime, but something stops me. I look down to my side and see that my hand has been handcuffed to the side of the hospital bed.

"Now, Kian. Don't fight it, it's just for your own safety."

Bull.

I couldn't see the man that was the owner of the husky voice, but what I did see was some hands on the doctor's shoulders, cowering away from me as though I was some animal about to attack. His disheveled hair popping out from behind every few seconds.

I realised why people were looking so scared. I looked down and saw that my hand was about to be pulled off by the handcuff.

I was pulling on it so hard that it had begun to move the bed towards the crowd of people. The vein in my arm was flexing, and my back was arching off the bed, lurching towards them.

I relax, and fall back on the bed, and all the people let out the breath that they were holding.

"I promise you Kian, we are here to help you help yourself. My name is Tony Miller, and I am from Eichenhouse Mental Institution."

so that is that... i told you that i keep my promises! I hope you enjoyed that chapter, the last bit is for all of the Teen Wolf lovers! I started watching it, and finished it in literally a week it is so good. If anyone doesn't watch it, i highly recommend it! so this is the second last chapter for the extended plot, one more and then the combined epilogue. Just to clarify :)
