"Kill anything with a heartbeat."

xxxxx

     I had made my way to Derek's hide out and Derek and I were getting the betas ready. "What if we break free?" Boyd asked as Derek chained him up. "Then you'll do anything to get out of here." I got a hold of some other chains and opened my mouth. "Probably try to kill us, then each other and then anything else with a heartbeat." I flashed them a smile as if it was something fun to look forward to. Derek held out his hand so I would give him the headband. "Can I?" I asked smirking and Derek dropped his hand. "I need you to hold her, please," I told Isaac as I looked at the blonde girl in front of me.

     "So why does she have to wear the headband?" Isaac asked as I got it ready for it to fit on her head. "Because us women are able withstand more pain than you guys. I'm pretty sure there is a spare one if you want one," I said smirking and I looked at Derek who was slightly smirking, as well. "Nah, I'll pass," Isaac quietly said and tightened his hold on Erica.

     I held the headband in my hands and breathed out slowly. I have worn this hellish thing twice in total and I know how fucking painful it is to wear. "You ready?" Erica's eyes went to Derek for a moment who nodded at her, telling her she could do it and the girl in front of me nodded. I placed the headband on her head and look the girl in front of me in her eyes as I started twisting one of the nails. The more it dug into her skull the louder her screams got. I averted my gaze and looked at the boy behind her to avoid Erica's pleading eyes. Boyd was already looking everywhere but Erica. I clenched my jaw as I felt more resistance and Derek had to keep Erica from clawing at me.

     Erica was panting and grunting and I was groaning as I tried twisting the nail one last time. "I'll do it. You go and chain up Isaac." I nodded and slowly released Erica, making sure she wasn't going to attack all of the sudden. I nodded at Isaac and he let go of her as well before walking with me. Boyd was starting to feel the effects of it and his growls and grunting had gotten louder every minute. Erica was starting to feel the effects as well, but not as much as Boyd yet.

     "How do you not feel this?" I grabbed a chain and wrapped it around Isaac and the seat he was in. "I feel every second of it," I said in a calm voice, telling the boy the truth. "Then how do you control it?" "You find an anchor. Something meaningful to you and you bind yourself to it to keep the human side in control." I could feel Derek's eyes on me, but it didn't stop me from telling Isaac all of this.
