Curiosity Killed The Cat (Fake)

Chapter 15

Derek woke up and got out of bed. As he put his hand on the handle of his door, he heard soft and quiet sobbing coming from outside of it. It couldn't have been Molly because she never wakes up at four in the morning. The only other person it can be is Boots but she doesn't remember anything so she should be asleep too. Thinking of other people that it could be, he grabbed his sword and quickly opened the door, running over to the crying person and aiming the sword at their neck. It was Boots.

Derek swiftly jumped down from the tree and chase the girl, being much faster than her and quickly catching up. He knocked the sword out of her hands, pushed the girl on the ground, and aimed his Red and Black Folded Steel Katana to her throat.

Derek immediately removed the sword. "Derek?" Derek's eyes widened. She remembers him now? "Boots, you remember me?" Boots slowly nodded and hugged him while softly crying again. "I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. I didn't mean to do any of that stuff, I was just confused and now I have no idea what to do and I just...I'm so sorry Derek. I didn't mean to marry that jerk or run away from you and sprain my leg. I didn't mean to take your sword for the third time." Derek pulled away and sighed. "I'm not mad at you, Boots. I understand that you were just confused." Boots nodded and Derek used his magic to heal her leg. "How about this. When Molly wakes up, we will go to a small restaurant while waiting for Tanya to come and pick us up to take us back to the island. Once we get back to the island, we can go back to our original lives and act as if none of this ever happened. Deal?" Boots looked down and slowly nodded. If they go back to their original lives, will she be sent back to the ocean again?

"Stay away from me!" Boots let go of Derek's hand and watched him slam the door in her face. She fell to her knees and tears rushed down from her eyes. Everything around her faded to black and Satan appeared. "You see, Derek doesn't love you. What you just saw was what he actually thinks about you. That's what he actually wants to do."

What happened there? When she awoke from that dream, knives were sticking through the ground and her friends wouldn't even tell her what happened. Were they even her friends? What if they were just making sure that she would be back at the island because they want her to be sent back to the ocean because she's a freak?

She would ask Derek some sort of questions but she felt like if she did, then he will freak out like in the dream. Yeah, she believed that what Derek's dad had said in the dream she had. Mainly because the first time she had a dream with him in it, she got injured in the dream and in real life. "Boots? You alright? You kind of spaced out there for a second. Anyways, Molly's awake, so you two can get dressed and we can head to the restaurant." Boots nodded and took the clothes from Molly. With all of her thinking, she doesn't know if she could even trust any of them. They've already got a ton of information from her. But they did know Ava...Well, what if her mom set them up to act like they knew Ava when this was all just a setup?

Boots put the clothes that Molly gave her to the side and wore different clothes. A white T-shirt with black ripped jeans, combat boots, and a leather jacket. It wasn't exactly her type, but she felt like she had been completely betrayed. Even though there was no proof that she was being played with this whole time, she still felt like it. And it was better to be safe than sorry. Once she walked out, she noticed Molly and Derek staring at her with wide eyes. "Boots, that's not what I told you to wear." Boots just handed Molly the clothes that she was supposed to wear. "Boots, we are not taking you out like that." Boots stared at Molly confused. She didn't want to be the one who was controlled and toyed with. This stuff that she's been thinking about and dreaming of has been driving her insane. So she snapped.

"So Derek can wear this stuff but I can't? Maybe I'm tired of wearing pretty princess dresses. I'm going to wear my own stuff, so you can back off. Alright?" Molly and Derek's eyes went wide again. They never knew that she has been able to speak to someone like that. Let alone, Molly. Speechless, Molly and Derek followed Boots out the door and they ended up at the restaurant that they were planning to go to. It wasn't really a restaurant. It was kind of like a small outdoor cafe.
