Do or Die

No Trust

  Derek looks at me with a flash of his mischievous look. "Its nice that you finally noticed me Ellie."

*Flashback*

I was at the dinning room table at Derek's house and he got mad that I didn't want to do his idea for our science project. His mom, Sandy, told him to leave for a moment to cool down. She sat next to me and said, "I'm sorry Eleanor. I know you've known him for a long time but he has some... issues. But he likes you a lot, even when he's mad." She gave me the sweetest and saddest smile I had ever seen at that time.

*End of Flashback*

Me and Jack stare at him, disgusted in silence, but for different reasons. Jack is looking at the gun in his hand while I'm looking into Derek's eyes. His cold dead eyes. He may be smirking but it doesn't reach his darkened eyes and that scares me most. Does he not want to do this? Is he angry? Well he is definitely insane...

  "What's wrong with you two? You look almost... dead." He laughs, "Get it? Because I'm going to kill you both?" He laughs shortly again and steps over Alexa, walking towards us two. Me and Jack take a few steps back and I try to open the door behind us but it's locked. I look at Jack confused and then we both look at Derek as he points the gun to Jack.

"No Derek! Please don't!" I quickly go in front Jack. I'm not brave or anything, just scared and it's like my body is numb and doing what it wants. Or maybe I'm being selfish and want to die before Jack so I don't have to see anymore bloodshed? Either way, I'm now in front of Jack, facing an angry Derek.

"Oh so he means something to you but not me?! Just like Kylie. Taking you from me, making you go against me. All I ever wanted was to be your friend."

"You were my best friend for a long time Derek. But then we drifted apart. Kylie didn't do anything and you killed her!" A tear rolls down my cheek and he shakes his head before responding, "she's the one that didn't listen to what I said. She ran to the door so I shot the arrow." He smirks and continues, "And you thought Alexa was behind it." He laughs again louder and in a swift moment I'm unexpectedly behind Jack.

I try to move but Jack pushes me down to the side and he runs at Derek swiping his feet from under him. Derek falls and Jack kicks the gun away and waves me over. I get up and run to him grabbing his hand and we run to the door. I feel Derek grab my ankle and I fall to the ground. My head smacks the ground and my vision blurs. I feel someone pick me up and run.

Oh gosh... what's even happening? How could this happen?

Cold air hits my face and everything goes black.
