Animus

Locked Up

The sheriff put Derek and me in separate cages. Derek sat on the floor leaning against the cage bars. I sat down on the floor against the wall. I was the one to blame for all of this. "I'm sorry." I said softley. Derek ignored me. I could tell he was upset.

The sheriff came in with Jace. I immediatly stood up. Jace looked at me with an evil smirk. The sheriff let Jace in my cage. Derek stood up and pinned his eyes on him.

Jace started walking towards me. He slapped me, making me fall to the ground. Derek came close to my cage. "What's wrong Derek? Can't save her this time?" Jace said with a laugh. "I'm going to kill you." Derek growled. Jace kicked my stomach and I cried out in pain. "Stop you bastard." Derek said quietly. "I'm sorry what did you say?" Jace asked with a wide grin. Derek ignored him. Jace went into Derek's cage. "What did you say?" Jace asked.

Derek grabbed Jace by the back of his head and slammed it on the cage bars. Jace groaned in pain. The Sheriff ran in Derek's cage and knocked him out with his bat. Derek fell to the ground. "NO!" I screamed. The sheriff took me and put me in Derek's cage. I ran to Derek and held him. "Derek! Derek!" I said with fear. He was knocked out completely. I started crying. This was all my fault. I felt so bad. Jace and the Sheriff left and I sat by Derek who was still knocked out.

About two hours later, I heard Derek groan in pain. He slowly sat up. I ran to him "Are you okay?"
Derek looked up at me he saw the fear in my eyes and the dry blood on my lips from Jace slapping me. Derek held me close. "We have to get out of here." He said. I helped him get up. The Sheriff came in and gave us food. "Sheriff." Derek said. "What do you want?" The sheriff complained. Derek looked back at me and winked to tell me its going to be okay. "You're wasting your food on us prisoners" Derek said. The sheriff pulled out his gun "Then I should shoot one of you."

"Give me the gun, I can shoot her." Derek said. For a second my heart stopped. "He's not being serious. Is he?" I thought. The sheriff gave the gun to Derek with a smile. Derek took the gun and immediatly shot the sheriff. He took the keys, grabbed my hand and we unlocked the cage and ran.

"Say goodbye to the village, you'll never see it again." Derek said.
