Chapter 43

"You're wrong about Jacob." I glared at the offensive women. "If you think turning me against him will help you in the slightest, I promise it won't."

"Such a naïve child. He's already gotten into your head." She smirked.

"Leave her alone." Derek spoke up for the first time.

"No one is talking to you mutt." She hissed at him. I saw Derek flinch from her tone.

"What is wrong with you?" I screamed.

"I'm done being nice! If you refuse to help me your parents will die." And with that she stormed out of the room. My parents? She wouldn't dare.

"We're going to play good cop bad cop, or well bad cop bad cop. Since neither one of us is good," The guy that came in with Derek's mate started. I forgot he was even in here. "Penelope wanted to just talk with you guys, and we see how that turned out. I on the other hand do not." I cowered in fear as I saw him pull a knife from behind his back. This guy is crazy! He walked over to Derek and plunged the knife into his leg. All I could hear was screaming, as the blood started rushing out. "Shut up before I cut your tongue out!" He yelled at me.

"Don't hurt him anymore! We'll help!" I cried. I just wanted him to stop. I don't really know what they need help with, but I'd do it, if it would stop him from hurting Derek.

The guy laughed. "You really think you had a choice? You're tied up and have no idea where you're at. You never had a choice to begin with."

"Penelope said I had a choice." I growled at him.

"She's a manipulative liar." He cackled. Derek growled when he insulted her. He turned his attention back to Derek. "And you're just pathetic, growling over some whore that doesn't even want you. She's probably upstairs banging the mailman right now." All Derek could do was growl louder. I saw the murderous glint in his eyes. I've never seen this side of Derek before.

The guy walked over to me and I panicked. He bent down till he was face to face with me. "When we're done with you two you'll be as good as dead, and then we're going after your mate." I felt something snap in me as he mentioned my mate. "Didn't think we knew about him huh? I told Penelope that we should've kidnapped him instead, and then maybe you guys would've actually noticed and cared."

"You wouldn't touch a hair on him." I said slowly.

"Oh really?" He moved his face right in front of mine. "How are you going to stop me? You'll be dead." I closed my eyes as I felt the fire building within me.

Opening my eyes all I saw was red. "Like this," I smirked before blowing flames into his face. He fell back screaming and clutching his face.

But I wasn't done with him, he threatened my mate. I melted my chains off as I rose up walking towards him. I bent and grabbed his arm as he screamed in pain. I grabbed his other arm pulling it from his face as I stared into his eyes. My grip tightened on his arms as his screaming started up again, and much louder. Once his screams stopped I dropped his limp arms and kicked his body.

I walked over to Derek and easily snapped his chains off using my werewolf strength.

"What was that?" His eyes kept drifting towards the dude, who was burned from the inside out.

"That was his consequences of threatening my mate." I balled my hand into a fist as we reached the door. It turned into wood and I used it to slam against the lock, it instantly broke.

"What's the plan? We don't know where we are or how to get out of here. Not to mention how many people are in this building." Derek asked as we stepped into a hallway. I looked at him over my shoulder.

"The plan is to get the hell out of here, now run!" I took off down the hall with Derek following close behind. I knew I had to get us out of here. We stopped as we reached the end. There was a door to the left, much like how ours looked. In front of it were two bodyguards. Oh, so they get guards but not us? I wonder who's in there.

"Do you think someone is in there?" Derek asked quietly.

"Yes, the bodyguards are a giveaway." I was hesitant to keep moving. Either way I'll have to take these guards out. But who was in there? Were they prisoners like Derek and I was?

I stepped around the corner and the bodyguards instantly started for me. Wow they weren't even going to ask my name? Fine then I won't ask theirs.

As they ran towards me I throw fireball after fireball at them. One hit the guy in the chest and he went into flames. The other guy dodged everyone and tackled me before I could react. We both fell to the floor. Next thing I know he was thrown against the far wall, cracking his head. I looked over at Derek whose eyes were flashing.

"Great teamwork." I huffed. I was feeling drained, I've never used so much power in one day.

We walked up to the door they were guarding, I wrapped my hand around the handle before trying the door. Surprisingly it was unlocked, I slowly pushed it open. The first thing that hit me was the smell, it was horrible. I heard Derek gag behind me and rolled my eyes. What a girl.

Once the light from the hallway made it into the room my eyes settled on two figures in the corner. It was a man and a woman, much older than Derek and me. They were chained up like we were.

"If you've came to finally kill us then do it already." The man snarled out. The woman didn't say anything.

I cleared my throat. "We're here to set you free."

"Set us free? You think we're dumb?" The guy growled. I took a step forward, but Derek grabbed my arm shaking his head no.

"Maybe we should just leave them."

"We stopped to free them and that's what we'll do." I made my way to the woman and she shrank back against the man. I grabbed her chains and quickly melted them off. I looked over at the man and he was just staring. I reached over and released him as well.

"Thank you." He said. I nodded at him.

"We have to leave now!" I followed Derek out the room. I didn't know if the man and woman would follow us but then I heard more footsteps. They didn't even ask questions about the two guys knocked out in the hallway. Well one knocked out and the other burned alive. In fact, the woman kicked the one that was knocked out.

"What's the plan?" The man asked.

"To get out of here." Derek answered.

"Perfect."

"Do you know where we are? Or where the closes exit is?" I asked them.

"Yes, follow me." The guy took the lead.

"Where is everybody?" I was actually thinking the same thing. Through all our running we didn't bump into no one besides the two bodyguards. Did they not think they needed the extra protection? How foolish they were.

"I don't know let's just keep moving." I walked slowly up the steps the guy stopped at, guess I'm leading again. There was a door at the top. I looked back at Derek and counted to one on my finger, before pushing the door open.

"I was wondering how long it would take." A familiar voice greeted us on the other side. "Aww look it's a family reunion.
