Survival of the Fittest: Save Yourself {Completed}

After I explained everything to her, as I expected, she was freaked and confused. "I know it's a lot to take in, but did you take any deals?"

"I don't know what you're talking about so I'll say no," something felt off, but I didn't show it. "Did you?"

"Okay. And no. I was offered one, but I told them no."

"What was it?"

"All I can say is it has to do with getting rid of a friend..." I raise my eyebrows towards her.

"Oh," was all she said. After that we talked a little more, before doing my dayly exercises.

~Next Morning~

I don't know what happened to wake me up, but I knew something was way off. I opened my eyes, but stayed still. I looked around and found two dark shadows across from me. One was shorter but larger than the other. I looked closer to see a person and the, tiger. I listened closer to try and hear.

"You gotta be quick," it was a girl. I looked down and saw Ash, so it had to be Emma. The tiger purred. "Okay. Get rid of Fanta," my eyes widened, she made a deal? I quickly and carefully woke up Dean. He lifted his head to look at me.

"Go protect Fanta. He came yesterday. Go now," he got up and looked around quickly, then once he found him he ran over to him. I saw Alex sneaking over to both Dean and Fanta. I sat up and turned my gaze from the three to Emma. "Lights?" I whispered. Nothing happened, "next day?" The lights turned on and I could see Emma duck behind a wooden beam, but made sure to watch. Everyone started to opened their eyes from the bright light. I looked to Dean, Alex and Fanta. Fanta rubbed his eyes and sat up. Alex was just barely hiding behind a bale of hay, but Fanta still saw him, and froze.

"Emma..." He drug out. But she didn't move. "Alex, stop." Fanta started scooting back when Alex started to stand. Fanta bumped into Dean, making him turn around quickly. Dean growled and jumped in front of him. Now both animals were growling. I could see Emma mentally kicking herself because of the situation. I stood up and walked over to Emma. She was ablivious to me as she watched intently at the situation. I got behind her and stood quiet. Once I heard barking and roaring, then I grabbed her and violently turned her around, making her jump a good foot or so off the ground.

"What the--" she started to scream, but was cut off by me punching her in the nose, making her land on her ass. There was a high pitched whine. I walked over to where Dean had pinned Alex, yet again, and a frightened Fanta.

"Good boy," I patted his head, then motioned for him to let go and walked with me. He did, growling at Alex. Alex stayed put. I knelt down by his face and grabbed his ear, hard and growled, "stop." I let go, "now go," I stood up and he ran off to Emma, who was making sure he was okay.

"Th-thanks," I heard Fanta say, making me turn around.

"Welcome," I gave a small, innocent, smile. There was a loud screeching sound and as I looked up, food dropped down again. I grabbed a piece out of the air. It was rectangular with silver paper. Poptart's, I laugh in my head. I opened the bag, "Dean," he stood up and walked with me over to our area. I gave him one and I ate the other. I looked over to see Ashley a little confused, I told her to run over to everyone and grab some food, before it's all gone. I've never seen her get up so fast to run over to get food. I laugh, finishing the food and throwing the wrapper on the floor next to me. As I did so, Ashley came back and sat on the ground, and the big main doors opened, having two new people being thrown in. A guy and a girl. Honestly, I may sound like a dick, but I didn't want really to meet them. I didn't want the same thing happen to me what I did to that girl 7 years ago. I'm 21 and it still hurts a little...
