Without Him..

Escape

Derek stands there shaking beside me.

I have never seen him so angry. I mean I haven't known him long but he seemed to have a friendly personality.

Derek turns to me and looks me straight in the eyes.

"I don't want you talking to him anymore. Through mind-link either. He isn't to be near you. Do you understand?"

I look at him in anger. How dare he say who I can and can't talk to.

"You do not get to tell me who I can and can't talk to mister. He won't be like that again. I can promise you that. I am not you child so you aren't going to boss me around."

Derek's eyes turn a dark blood red.

"YOU WILL LISTEN TO ME AS YOUR MATE AND YOUR ALPHA!!"

I growl at him.

"Don't raise your voice at me! Remember I can leave just as fast I came."

It's somewhat true but it sure would be painful.

Derek grabs my arm and drags me upstairs, throwing me into my room.

"Don't come out until I come for you."

He slams the door and I punch it.

Great he thinks putting me in time out it going to set me straight. This won't keep me from leaving him.

I sit here for a moment and decide what's the point. He'll leave me just like Kingston.

I begin to argue within myself. It was just because Kingston wasn't my mate.

I shake my head. No, if he loved me he would have heard me out. The moment I go against him he won't want me anymore.

I look at the window and begin to walk over to it. I'll just fight this war without him.

I open the window and jump. I sneak past the guards by masking my scent. It's a power that I have because I'm part vampire. I found out that out earlier when I was walking around with Michael. I can choose to be vampire or werewolf. In other words, I can switch. Don't ask how I did it. It was an accident.

So, I run back into the forest. I don't know where I'm going but anywhere but near Derek.

I stop when I hear branches crunching behind me. Someone is following me.

I start to run but a hand grabs me. I sigh in relief. Michael was there.

"Delilah, what are you doing?! Why are you running away and why didn't you invite me for the ride?"

He cracks a smile.

I roll my eyes. Gosh I love my brother.

"I just don't think Derek really loves me and besides I have a war to fight in."

Michael stands there for a moment.

"If he really loves you. He will come looking for you."

Michael laughs.

"But if you are going to run from him, make sure the chase is good. I want him to be going days without sleep and covered in scrapes and bruises."

I giggle.

"Well, Michael if that's your advice... Okay I'll do that."
