The Parasites That Live in The Cracks

34. Big Mistake

Jamie  She knew. She knew I was here, and I’d turned her into a werewolf. 

  This was really bad, why had I done that? I paced around my cell, rethinking the thoughts I’d had last night… Now she’ll be safe from being queen. Now she can protect herself. Now she’ll know that I’m alive and take care of herself. Now we can talk telepathically. She’s safer and able to protect herself now.

  But now she’ll be coming. And I don’t want to leave. I don’t want her here either.

  I either had to convince her that I wasn’t here, or I had to get out of here… And knowing Bree, there was really only one real option there.  

  I slumped against the wall, not looking forward to this. This was dangerous, and I’d just gotten back to where I wanted to be. I was far from happy, but I was content. How could I be out in the world?

  I was dangerous. I was unhappy. I couldn’t cope. But would Bree be better off out there or in here? 

  I could always come back. For now, I had to help Bree. I studied the bars and door at the end, trying to figure out the best way to do this… 

  I turned wolf and squeezed through the bars, surprised that they hadn’t learned to make things more me-proof and that no alarms went off. I went up to the door, knowing there were guards behind it, and stairs. Not to mention the shock collar they’d put on me. 

  I’ll just fight my way out, no plan, just do it. I turned human long enough to open the door and wolf again as guards almost immediately ran through. I tried to struggle through and out the door, but there were too many of them. Was this all for me? All these guards outside the door where I’m the only prisoner? 

  I fought hard, flailing and biting at everything that moved, fighting for each step forward.  But I could feel myself getting pushed back… There were just too many. I wouldn’t be able to make it.
