**** I just stood there, frozen. I couldn't think, I couldn't move and I couldn't breathe. Liam, Liam was here! Derek pulled me toward his chest and held me tight, his breathing hard. I could hear his growling coming from the back of his throat. I guessed he could see that there was no point running anymore.
Liam stood there , smiling his wicked smile, looking at me in that sick, perverted way. I shivered and his smile reached to his ears. "Well, isn't this lovely! An old foe coming back and an old friend who became a foe. Now thats's something!"
His words confused Derek. He looked at him. Then his eyes widened. "Andrew…" he whispered.
No!
" Got that right pup. He lead me straight to you. Right under your little nose."
"Liar!" The voice surprised me, because it came from me.
"What's that cutie? You'd think I'd lie to you? I wouldn't blame you if you did. Whatever, I just want revenge. And revenge I shall have." He barred his teeth at us.
Derek spoke up. "You want revenge, come and get it. But leave her out of this."
He pushed me behind him, out of site, and whispered that everything was going to be okay. His braced for the fight, teeth flashing in the darkness.
"No way, she's where the fun be-" Fortunately, I didn't have to hear the rest of his 'evil' plan. Derek charged in and hit him good in the face. The blood-shed began. "Run!" Derek screamed so loud my ears rang. I guess the running idea was not totally forgotten.
"I- I'm not leaving you!" My voice was shaky and uneasy. Another blow toward Liam's ugly face. Liam hit him back, harder, and Derek stumbled back. His face was cover in blood, like what you see in a horror movie. And I just stood there, defenseless, unmoving. I wanted to do something. I couldn't just stand there, but I didn't have my switch-blade. I stepped toward the fight, fists ready. I must look so dumb, a tiny girl ready to take on a fully grown werewolf.
'Chloe don't be stupid! RUN!" He took in a deep breath, regaining his position as Liam struggled to get up. He looked into my eyes with worry. "Please run" he whispered so softly, so slow. My eyes filled with tears. What if we weren't lucky this time? I quickly shook them off.
Our eyes locked for a moment. I couldn't speak. I only stared back into them. I saw Liam in the corner of my eye, getting up and running straight for Derek. "DEREK!-" I screamed. Liam hit him on the back of his head and Derek fell on the grass making a thump! .
NO!
"DEREK!" He didn't respond."DEREK, DEREK!" His eyes were closed and he lay flat on the ground, unmoving. I tried run to him, but Liam barred my way.
"Where are you going cutie? We're not done." He smiled again, flashing his blood- stained teeth. Tears filled my eyes. Derek, Derek, Derek… Was he… could he be?
No. I wiped away my tears, and drew away the idea. But it was so hard when he looked so dead. Blood, arms and legs in twisted angles, eyes closed. I couldn't even tell if he was breathing.
Liam punched me hard on my face and I tasted blood. Derek, Derek… It was so stupid that all I could think about was him. He hit me again on my chest, my ribs aching in pain. Everything started to blur. I fought conscienceless, getting in and out of I saw him. Derek was up, screaming my name. He was okay. Derek was okay. I smiled like an idiot, not caring about what was happening, much less understanding. A fist raised, a scream, which was probably mine, Derek yelling my name, and everything went black. All was gone.
