Animal or human (book 2)

Chapter 4

Mia POV
I could hear two people coming towards the door, it had been a while since Gary left without answering my question, although it was a little unsettling what he had told us. I wasn't sure whether or not i wanted to see Jackson or not, i mean if what Gary said was true, what is Jackson really had changed , what would he do with us?

I could hear the footsteps approaching, one set was louder, it sounded like they were wearing boots, while the other sounded like they were barefoot. The realisation came to me, Jackson was the only one out of all the guards, criminals and Gorge who wasn't wearing shoes. A shiver went down my spine, and not because of the cold.

"I think Jacksons coming" i said looking at the door, Jessica, Calum and Pete stopped talking and looked at me with worry, then turned their gazes towards the door just in time to see it swing open, revealing the light of the hallway, and two dark figures.

Jackson's POV
Gorge opened the heavy metal door which gave a loud screech. Inside was four teenagers, chained the wall, looking wide eyed at Gorge and i.
"Well how are our guests doing?" Gorge asked as he entered the room, standing in the middle of the room looking at the teenagers. I stayed where i was and watched, i had a feeling that this would be good.
"Why are you really keeping us here Gorge?" Pete asked, he looked a little pissed, but I couldn't see any fear in his eyes.
"Oh I don't know, sounds fun to have someone new to play with." He replied cheekily

"Just let us go." Mia said calmly.
"And here i thought that you were here to save Jackson." Gorge replied
"I am" Mia continued, she looked at me, I couldn't see a speck of fear in her eyes when she said it. She was determined to get me outta here, but here is where i wanted to be.
"I don't know what you think is going on here, but I don't need saving, i came here because i wanted to" i said sternly.

"I know that you hate me, but if you think you belong here, something is wrong with you. Come on, you don't belong here." She continued. I raced up towards her and pinned her against the wall by her neck. She struggled and gasped for air. She was at least 20cm off of the ground,
"I don't need you to tell me where i belong" i said angrily. It took a few seconds for everyone to realise what was going on, i guess i moved to fast for all of them.

"Let her go" Pete said angrily, he tried to inch towards me to help Mia but he was tied to the wall by chains and he couldn't reach, neither could the others for that matter.
"Oh come on Jackson, we don't want to kill her just yet." Gorge said playfully. I didn't move, i stared into her eyes angrily, i could see her fear as she continued to struggle. "Jackson, down." Gorges tone changed into a more stern one. After a moment I released her, turned and headed back to the door. Mia fell to the ground in a coughing fit, the others all asking if she was okay and giving her comfort. Gorge had a large smirk on his face as i exited the room and headed to my room.

Mia's POV
Jackson dropped me to the ground, i hit it hard as i coughed and wheezed. I was a little worried, Gorge was smirking at Jackson as he left the room, but i was mostly concerned about Jackson. He would never do what Gorge says. When we were first kidnapped, he refused to do what he was told practically every time. And now he was doing what he was told, Gorge had defiantly done something to him i thought. Gorge looked at me, a smile across his face, he was up to something.
"Great, now you've angered Jackson. And guess who has to deal with him when he's in one of his moods. Not me that's for sure." He laughed as he slammed the door shut behind him. The room fell back to a dimly lit one, with the small light above hanging from the ceiling.

"Are you okay?" Jessica asked. She tried to put her hand on my shoulder, but fell short due to being chained to the wall.
"I think so." I replied, rubbing my neck. The others all looked at my neck in awe, i could feel it starting to heal.
"Woah, Jackson did all that just from grabbing your throat?" Calum asked looking at me with concern.
"I guess." I replied as i turned my attention to the door.

Jackson's POV

I headed towards my room angrily. I had difficulty controlling my anger ever since i came here to serve Gorge. I opened the door to my room, and slammed it behind me. I could hear the sound echoing throughout the halls. I quickly shifted into wolf from and began to run around the room, it didn't really help, so i headed back to the door where two bowls were, full of food and water. I took a big drink and ate every last piece of meat left in the bowl. I shifted back into human form and headed to my den, it didn't take very long to get there. I headed inside and sat down, leaning against the stone wall.

After about 30 minutes i heard someone enter my room, though i ignored it.
"Jackson!" I heard a guard yell my name, though he was shaking while he was doing it. "Jackson!" He continued as he approached my den. Though I'm pretty sure he didn't know it was my den, no one did, i kept it private. He stopped right in front of the cave and saw me leaning against the entrance.
"What do you want?" I asked angrily, my arms folded across my chest.

"I...uh....Gorge sent me to come find you. He wanted me to help calm you down." He replied, his eyes full of fear. "Thanks but no thanks, I don't need to be baby sat and i certainly don't need someone to calm me down." I replied not moving.
"Uh....okay. But Gorge specifically ordered me to stay with you until you had cooled off." He continued, he didn't move closer or move away. This guy defiantly had guts. He was kinda making me more angry though, he was far to close to my den, he wasn't doing as i instructed him to and he now knew the location of my den.

The idea of someone knowing where my den was angered me the most. I stood up and walked towards him, he began to step back.
"Let me make myself clear, you tell anyone where my den is, ill kill you, and I don't need a babysitter." I yelled. He fell backwards and nodded his head furiously as I approached him. I exhaled and headed for the door, leaving the guard to his lonesome.

I walked down the hall and headed to Gorges office, once again he was calmly typing away. I didn't even knock before he turned around with a smirk across his face.
"So have you cooled off yet?" He asked taking a sip from a glass of red wine. It seemed that red wine was all he ever drank.
"Why did you send that guard to baby sit me?" I asked angrily, though not in a way to threaten him, he was my master after all.
"Ill take that as a no." He said before standing up and walking over to me, he was still much taller than me, but I wasn't intimidated.

"I sent him to calm you down." He replied looking at me.
"Well I don't need someone to calm me down, what am i, a two year old?" I asked sarcastically.
"No your not a two year old. I was thinking that maybe we could give our guests some torture to make you feel better, of course you'll have to show them how its done first." Gorge replied. I thought for a bit,
"Yeah, that sounds like fun." I said, still a little angry.
"Good, their probably ready, i had the guards drag them over to the torture room, shall we?" He began heading for the torture room. I followed close behind him.

We burst through the door and walked through the darkness and into the light. There was four tables, with Mia, Jessica, Calum and Pete strapped to them. The tables were all lined up neatly and the guards stood at the end, next to Mia. They all looked scared, although my first time being strapped to a table i was sacred too. One of the guards turned around and headed into the darkness, after a few seconds he remerged from the darkness, wheeling the table covered in torture devices.

"Shall we start?" Gorge asked me "you should show these pussy's how its done." I nodded and headed to a chair in front of the tables. Of course i would normally lay on a table, but there weren't any left. I sat down as Gorge began grabbing torture devices. He slices, diced, smashed and zapped, but i didn't make a sound. I was still but silent, i actually enjoyed the torture. I looked over at Mia, her face was full of fear as she watched, she looked at me as though i was a monster.

"Now that's how its done, Gorge spoke as he began to wheel the table in the middle of Calum and Jessica. They were lined up in order left to right, Pete, Calum, Jessica and Mia. I stood as my body finished healing and headed over to Mia, she was laid down flat, with tears in her eyes.
"What has he done to you Jackson?" She whispered as she began to sniffle. I could feel a drop of emotion come back to me, something I hadn't felt in 8 months.
"I don't know." I whispered back looking at her, though i looked at her with worry.

After a few seconds it washed away and i could feel all emotion flee, i returned to my usual expression on my face and headed over to Gorge. He had a sharp knife in hand and was standing over Pete.
