Prologue

I feel free...

I'm running through the forest with Derreck, we're running from the lunatics that are hunting for us. They found our shelter. I can feel him getting overwhelmed, it's building up he won't be able to control himself. "Let me help you." I whisper in his mind he hates when I invade his mind but he needs my help. "Not right now!" He shouts, I once again invade his mind, "please. If you loose control they will surely find us." He sighs, "fine love." He reply's, I feel a burst of energy flood my body a gasp escapes my lips and his expression becomes worried. "I'm fine." I say aloud, he begins to gain speed again. "There's a cave ahead should we hide there?" I ask in his mind, it's better than talking aloud so they can't hear us. He nods and I stop to scan the area. "We are safe." I comfort him. They almost took him from me, he's becoming weaker and I can feel it. I will kill them both, but he needs to rest and I need to heal him. "Rest. Please rest Derreck." He obeys as he's too weak to reject, I remove his shirt to examine his wounds, they tried to kill him. I clean his wounds and begin to stitch them together, I watch his face as he's wincing from the pain. I put the pain medication into my mouth and kiss him to deliver the medication."this will help with the pain." I explain and he nods as I get back to his wounds. I make sure that the cave is secure and leave him resting to go find something for us to eat and a water source. As I'm tracking a deer I feel something off.... he's not safe. I begin running back to the cave. "Derreck!" I scream, he doesn't respond as I'm getting closer to the cave. I decide to scream again "Derreck!" He still doesn't respond. When I arrive he's still in the same position I go in and check his pulse and wounds. Everything is fine, I don't understand I've always been right. I turn to leave and terror consumes my entire being we've been caught, I try to run to Derreck but as I do we become engulfed in a bright light.
