Animal Magnetism // Ready To Run (DEREK HALE Fan-fiction)

•Day 7 | Part 1•

"Mila" I hear my name being called out. I slowly open my eyes, finally realising my hands, feet and body were tied to a chair with chains. My first instinct was to wrestle my way out of the grasp but it was no use. "Mila!" Again my name was called out. I look up from the ground and it was Becky. My eyes widely open in shock she's still alive. But for how long?

"Becky, are you okay?" I quickly question and tears begin to stream down her face.

"N-no" she stutters sobbing her sentence.

"Look at me, we're going to get through this okay" I say and she slightly nods. My eyes wonder around the room and I notice I'm in the basement of where I was kidnapped. I quiver with flashbacks rapidly rushing through my head. I squint my eyes to remove them and shake my head to return to reality. Instead, I was breathing heavily and couldn't stay calm. I remember the torture they put me through, how the chains dug into my skin, leaving mr with cuts and blisters. The endless threatening conversations. My face used as a punching bad. And, the count down to my death sentence. I wish I could take it all back, but it's beyond impossible.

I hear shuffling in the background and turn my head to that direction. It was Derek and Aaron. They finally wake up from their black-out.

Derek's quick decision was to battle with the chains to escape, just like myself.

"It's no use, were not getting out unless they want us to" I say and he faces me. His eyes display guilt, as my increasing heart rate signals fear. I gulp down my salute in destress and face the ground in shame and failure.

"I can hear them talking" Aaron says concentrating on their voices. As I try to do the same. Finally catching their conversation, and realising it's news I did not want to hear.

"They're talking about..." I stop my sentence leaving a silent pause.

"You" Derek finishes as Becky looks at me with worry on her face. "They want to kill you and all of us. You know I won't let that happen, right?" He waits for my clarification.

"I know" I grin in agreement.

I hear footsteps down the stairs, where I used to envy who would come down them. I still do now. The wait of the persons presence was seemingly anxious.

I watch as Xavier appears from the bottom of the steps where he stares at me.

"Wow, all the fam back together again, just like a reunion. I miss it you know. The regular visits we all took to watch you Mila, one by one we would come down and see you agonising in pain. It was entertainment, we all enjoyed it. Now it looks like your back to where you started. In the same hole you fell in before" Xavier pronounces and walks towards me slowly.

"What's he talking about Mila?" Becky asks.

"Becky don't" I say immediately, not wanting her to know the details.

"Oh it's a long story but I'll make it quick. Your little friend here spent those seven days hanging out in this hell hole, while the rest of us baby-sat her ass! But, she just would, not, co-operate, so we punished her" Xavier stops midway, allowing me to shed a few tears. I try to stay strong but the reminders tore me. I feel so vulnerable, sitting here useless not able to do protect myself from the truth.

"It was as simple as that. When those seven days were over, it was the to be executed. Killed for knowing our secret, which no human should know. Including you little quiet Becky in the corner" I stop to think of what he might do to her and I growl in frustration just assuming what thoughts were running through his mind. "And no Derek you cannot turn her into one, I've fed her wolves-bain. Haha". I've had enough of his smart comments.

"Xavier, if you want to kill me. Do it now! Leave everyone else out of it, you want me, you have me" I announce and Derek's face drops in complete horror.

"I'm afraid I can't do that darling. But if you insist, let's get to work shall we?" He evilly smiles and turns to Derek.

"Better say bye to your mate before it's too late" Xavier says an slaps Derek's face hard but playfully.

I catch Aidan's scent in the air, as he reaches to the end of the steps and walks towards me immediately. As he was unlocking the chains, Derek sends me a glance of regret, an apology for everything that he's put me through. I just wish he knew it was my fault, not his. As he reaches to our level, he instantly looks at me, I glance at the floor.

"Let her go now, or so help me god I'll-" Derek was cut off by Aidan's abrupt statement.

"You'll kill me? Let's see you try" he smirks and clenches my upper arm tight, as his nails dug into me. I wince slightly at the pain, but I was most worried about what was going to happen to me after. All I know is they'll kill me this time, there won't be any screw ups like the last time I was here. No luck. No faith. Nothing to even hope for. I look at Becky's face who's cheeks were streaming tears. Aaron's face who couldn't take his eyes off Becky, not feeling calm about his situation. Last but not least, Derek. He couldn't bare the sight of any of this. I didn't even want to look at him, if I did I'd break down then and there.

"Mila, I love you" he slightly comments as Aidan and I walk up the stairs. As soon as I heard his voice, I turn my head towards him but it was too late, I couldn't say it back. I couldn't even see him one last time.

As we reach to the top of the stairs, memories flood back into my head. Seeing all the corridors and then open space areas I was once placed in the past. I wrestle amongst the tight grip around my body that Aidan has me held under as he takes me to a room that was dark, old and empty. Accept for a chair and chains.

I'm a dead women.
