I heard a lot of swearing in the basement but tried to ignore it. I looked up at Derek making sure my eyes gave nothing away. He looked back at me and made my stomach do summersaults.

"We need to do something." Simon's voice awoke me from my trance.

"Uh yeah." I told him not really paying attention. As soon as the words escaped my throat Liam and Ramon came barreling through what was left of the basement door.

"Well Ramon it looks like our little friends have friends of their own." I grimaced how they irritated me.

The knife in my pocket seemed to way 20 pounds reminding me it was there for whatever reason I may need it. Liam looked at me in a way that sent my body in chills.

A deep growl had erupted from Derek's chest making Liam and Ramon bust out laughing."Get out." He rumbled. They laughed harder.

When they stopped Liam looked at Derek. "You are coming with us and telling the pack what we want you to tell them." I gasped but Derek just grunted.

"And this time cutie is coming to watch."

"Leave her out of this." He thundered loudly enough to wake the dead. Ramon snickered.

"But that's not all, you don't come with us willingly I will not only have fun with your girl but the other two will be coming along as well."

I pulled my knife out of my pocket when no one was looking and shifted it from one hand to the other. My head was down and I didn't expect that Liam would saunter up to me. Derek lunged but Liam sidestepped him and kept going he was so quiet. "You still have that knife cutie?" He asked ripping it from my hands.

"I I " I stuttered. He laughed and touched my hip. I flinched back into Simon's chest only making him laugh harder. With a flick of his fingers Simon had sent Liam stumbling back a couple feet.

Shaking I pulled Simon over to where Derek was standing by Tori completely motionless. "Derek?"He glanced up and grunted.

"Oh. That's your name, Derek?" Ramon asked circling us. I looked around for Liam but he was no where in sight.

Out of nowhere my breathing cut off and a hand clamped along my throat. I choked for the air I couldn't get. Ramon laughed "Well cutie-" Derek lunged and knocked Ramon and myself off of our feet.

Hitting the floor with a thud I laid where I landed for a second in a daze before Simon pulled me to my feet. Okay now you really need to do something. What? Uh, I'm not sure I was hopping you'd figure that out. Thanks you're a lot of help.

Suddenly Simon was thrown to the wall and laid in a crumpled heap. "Simon!" I yelled running to him but Tori was there but it didn't matter my path was blocked by Liam. I gulped.

He knocked me off my feet. My knife went flying out of his pocket before I hit the ground.

So do you have a plan yet? Try not to die? I could've thought of that! Well you weren't being much help.

I reached for my knife but he stepped on my arm. I let out a strangled cry. "Chloe!" Derek yelled decking Ramon in the face that sent him into the wall. He took a glance then hurtled himself at Liam.

My bandaged arm was throbbing and my eyes were blurred with tears but I managed to get up only to be thrown down again. My head smacked the floor with a loud crack sending me into a cloud of blackness.

Nothing was clear only blurry. By my tears? Maybe… "Chloe? Chloe? "I heard Derek than a cracking. "Tori! Get to Chloe see if she's all ri-"

"Derek?" Simon's voice rang out in alarm.

"I'm alright get to Chloe!" Something was by me nudging me? I couldn't tell it was all so weird and blurry, confusing. "Chloe?" Simon's voice filled my ears with alarm.

"Simon is she alright?"

"She's unconscious." I was fading in and out missing bits and pieces getting some and not other.

"Tori binding spell!" I felt someone bigger kneel next to me and a lot of swearing. Derek.

"What?" Simon asked.

"Her arms bleeding." There was something said but I couldn't here it.

"What is going on here?" Andrew…
