Just a second later my sight becomes blurry and my knees are weaker than ever before, making me fall down against the wet and cold grass.
As I wake up my blurry sight overwhelms me. My body is in pain so is my head. It's like I've slept a few hours too many in the most uncomfortable position possible. As I try to lift my hands to rub my eyes I feel a sharp pain in my wrist and something pulling my hands back. It's like I'm chained. I blink a few times before noticing my surrounding. I get the feeling I'm in an alley, and the alley looks a bit too familiar.
I'm in the woods. Not just the woods.
I'm in Derek's old house.
The one in the woods, the one which got burned.
I've been here before. Multiple times. Derek told me about his past a while ago, when he needed to. He's shown me the place and told me all about it. The house has been abandoned for a while now. At first Derek used to hide himself here, hiding himself away from the hunters, but after a while he bought his apartment and now he's been living there ever since.
I pull my hands forward one more time and as I look down I notice that I am indeed chained. "Nice," I whisper to myself as I sigh deeply. I lay my head back against the wall, but get disrupted by a voice which makes me tilt my head towards its side.
Isaac walks in and stops the moment he notices I've awakened. I sit up a bit straighter because of his appearance, clearing my throat softly. Isaac walks right past me and sits down on the crooked chair in front of me. He intertwines his fingers with each other while he looks down at the ground again. He doesn't seem to put his attention to me, even though he's here for a reason. That reason is me.
"So now you're not only kidnapping me, but you're also chaining me," I say, but there's no reply. He doesn't even flinch. "Are you going to kill me?" He immediately looks up at me, hesitating to giving me an answer. "No," he strongly answers. "Then why am I here?" I continue to ask, but this time instead of an answer I receive another dosis of silence. This time followed by him standing up and walking around the room. I'm becoming frustrated again, but this time by his behavior towards me. "Why am I chained?" He looks back at me again. This time while standing up, crossing his arms together. I nod the moment I realize I'm not getting an answer. I then ask the question again, this time receiving an answer.
"Because you're not allowed to leave." I chuckle, a bit confused.
"Not allowed by who?" I question him, wanting to know more about what he's planning on doing. He then walks towards me before crouching down in front of me.
"Me."
