get up. Derrick sat next to Amy again stroking her hair softly. I growled. “Where’s Jake?” I asked.
Amy started crying harder pulling her knees up to her chest and hugging her legs. Derrick looked at me. He looked her in the eyes and she went to sleep. “He made a bet and lost to this pink cat person,” he said.
“What was the bet?” Anna asked.
“She wins his hers he wins she lets him go and never disturbs him again,” Derrick said stroking Amy’s hair.
“Okay so why did you make Amy sleep?” I asked.
“So I could tell you what happened without her crying even harder. I worked hard to try to calm her down,” he said chuckling.
“Where is he?” Anna asked.
“Ask the dog that’s how she found him,” Derrick said.
“Anna get everyone else over here,” I said.
She nodded and left. I looked at Derrick stroking her hair and whispering to her. She would giggle every so often. Everyone came and I whistled. The dog came. I pet his torn ear. He ran forward towards where Jake is. I noticed everyone looked at Derrick stroking Amy’s hair. I didn’t trust him, but we had no choice. I recognized the soft look in his eyes from when I was seven and I knew he would protect her.
“He would keep her safe right?” I wandered following the big dog.

I looked at her watching me with her pink cat eyes. “Be back,” she whispered. She went through the second door that Amy didn’t come out of. I sighed thinking about Amy. I felt like I was going to cry.
I was still in the empty room that had two doors. I missed Amy a lot and I sobbed silently. The other door opened and I saw the same dog run in and attack me. He licked my face and I chuckled. I pet his torn ear knowing he loved that.
Luna came in and ran next to me; “Jake!” she said hugging me.
I hugged her. “What are you doing here?” I asked looking at the door where Alice left I pushed the dog off of me so I could see everyone coming in.
“Getting you out of here,” she said.
“Amy tell you about what happened?” I asked.
“No, Derrick did,” she said. I looked at her shocked.
“Please someone explain again why we left Amy in the meadow with him?!” Jane yelled the question.
My eyes opened wide. “You left Amy with Derrick!?” I yelled the question anger pulsing through me.
“What is with the yelling!?” Alice yelled. She came in and was shocked to see everyone there. She hissed at the dog. “Didn’t tell me your friends were coming.”
“I didn’t know,” I said rolling my eyes. “I’ll be back in a hour or two,” I said leaving.
I ran out of there no one followed that a new off. I went to the meadow and saw what they said was true. Amy sat on the ground and Derrick was next to her stroking her hair. I stepped closer and Derrick looked up right at me. He looked into Amy’s eyes and she passed out in his arms.
I growled stepping in the meadow. “Get out of here,” he growled.
“You get away from her!” I yelled angrily. “Hurt one hair on her and your dead!”
“Me hurt her? I am the one cheering her up. After you got her crying.”
“I was kidnapped,” I growled.
“You made a bet you should have been stronger!” he yelled.
“I know all you want is her energy,” I growled.
“Your wrong there. Leave before she wakes up and I have to calm her down again,” he growled.
I snapped I couldn‘t take what he was saying. I jumped him and pinned him down. I heard a groan and a yawn. I looked up at Amy. Her eyes were bloodshot. Derrick pushed me off and stepped back to Amy.
“Leave,” she mouthed. She turned away from me.
Derrick wrapped his arm around her. He narrowed his eyes looking at me and fire appeared around them. I left slowly. The shock was thick around me like ice. I waited for it to defrost so sadness could take over. Soon enough I found a quiet place. I sat down unable to continue to walk. I cried. “What have I done? I’ve lost her. Why did I make that stupid bet.”
Love To The Limit
I sobbed sad I shooed away Jake. Derrick took my hand. “There’s too much disturbance here,” he said softly. I sighed and nodded. He smiled and teleported outside the dead forest. He walked me in with his arm around my back. Once we got to his stone house I was exhaust . He walked me inside and I looked around in the house. I noticed the stone hall way was long.
I saw stairs and a dinning room with a wooden table. We walked past the dinning room and I saw a door. We walked past it into a living room. I saw book cases and I saw a black couch and two black chairs. I noticed a brown coffee table in front of the couch. He set me down one of the two cushions on the couch. He left and came back with two glasses of water, a tissue box, and a garbage can.
I felt cried out. I couldn’t shed another tear. He set the glasses of water on the table and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. He leaned over and tried to kiss me. I was shocked I pushed him away when his lips were inches away from mine. “What’s wrong?” he asked stroking my hair.
I looked away. “You said the only reason you stayed was for your friends and now they remind you to much of him. Why not be with me?” he asked.
I didn’t have a response for his question. He leaned over again to kiss me and I didn’t stop him this time.

I sighed sitting on a rock. I couldn’t believe I this happened. I ran my hand through my hair trying to calm down before I had to go back to Alice. I really didn‘t want to see her and I really didn‘t want to see her and know she forced me to betray Amy. I still couldn‘t believe it. I jumped when Alice came behind me and put her hand on my shoulder. “Didn’t mean to startle you,” she said.
“Its okay,” I said sighing.
“What’s wrong?” she asked wrapping her arms around me.
“Nothing,” I said sadly remembering Amy. I remembered when she rubbed her head against me and her little tongue was out. I almost cried from the thought of that cuteness.

I woke up in my room and I has been two days since Jake made that bet. I haven’t seen Amy in awhile and I hoped she was okay. I looked around the blurry room and I got up yawning. Life felt empty without Jake or Amy here. I went to the kitchen and got myself a glass of water. Some knocked at the door and I opened it. There stood Jake in the door way. I jumped up and hugged him. He hugged me back almost as tightly as I hugged him.
“I missed you Jake,” I said.
“I missed you two Luna,” he said. “I miss everyone.”
“Its so boring here without you and Amy.”
“What?” he asked.
“I haven’t seen Amy since I saw her in the meadow with Derrick. She was thinking of leaving for a little bit to calm down, but I just don’t know.”
Jake looked worried for a minute. “Jake when you going to be done,” a voice said I recognized.
“Soon Alice!” he yelled out a little annoyed.
“Well come in,” I said moving. They both walked in. I shut the door and sighed. Jake sat at the table and so did Alice. I looked at the living room couch. I started to walk to the kitchen, but someone knocked on the door.
I went back and opened the door. Derrick stood at the door way this time. He looked tired and like he just woke up. “Didn’t know you were having company,” he said.
Jake got up. “Where’s Amy?” he asked growling.
“Asleep at home,” he said rolling his eyes.
“This is her home,” I said narrowing my eyes.
“Why are you here?” Jake growled.
“Amy wanted me to come here to say that she won’t come here and she’s okay,” he said. “My job is done. Bye.”
“No,” I said grabbing his arm, “I want Amy to tell me that.”
“Fine,” Derrick said rolling his eyes. He ran into the forest and vanished. I waited ten minutes in the door way anxiously. Finally I saw Derrick running back with Amy cradled in his arms. and I saw him running back about ten minutes later.
“What?” she asked sleepily yawning when Derrick stopped at the door way in front of Luna.
She didn’t seem to notice Jake. She stretched in his arms. “Is it true your moving in with him!?” I asked.
“Yes,” she said.
“I think she’s under control,” Jane said.
“I am not under control,” she said. “I’m tired though.”
Jane came up to Amy and closed her eyes her hand on her forehead. It took her a minute before she open her eyes. “She isn’t under any control. She‘s sleepy and she might have a headache and a small fever, but its her,” she said shocked.
Derrick set her down on her feet and wrapped his arm around her waist and narrowed his eyes looking past me. I looked back and saw Jake looking at Derrick anger on his face. “Lets go before I fall asleep here,” Amy said swaying.
“Okay. Still next time tell me you don’t like staying up most the night,” he said rolling his eyes. She hit him playfully.
“I’m use to it, but seriously. Staying up until five in the morning,” she said rolling her eyes.
“You can’t stay?” I asked.
“No, not really,” Derrick said kissing Amy’s hair.
Suddenly Jake blasted Derrick. Amy ran to his side. I saw Derrick on the ground. Amy helped him up and looked at Jake. “Maybe your right,” she growled.
“Right about what?” Jake asked stepping forward.
“That since your evil. I should be evil. Next time we meet. You will all die,” she yelled pulling Derrick’s arm. They left and I looked at Jake. He was shocked and his face was full of pain.

I was frustrated about what he did. Derrick wrapped his arm around my waist comfortingly. We sat in Derrick’s room. It had a gray bed and a wooden dresser with a clock on top of it. “When do you want to attack?” he asked.
“I don’t know, when can we?” I asked surprised how much I wanted to attack.
“Anytime,” he smiled evilly.
I looked at the time. It was ten in the morning. “How about six tomorrow morning? They usually don’t wake up until around nine so they won’t suspect a thing and they would be too drowsy to fight,” I said smiling evilly.
“Sounds good to me,” he said evilly. “Maybe we could also torture Jake?”
I thought about it for a second. “What do you have in mind?”
“I have some friends,” he said. He got up and left. I got sleepy after ten minutes. I fell asleep on the bed and woke up in Jake’s room. I saw myself on Jake’s lap kissing him.
“I love you Jake and no matter what I‘ll always love you, I promise,” I whispered softly kissing him.
“I will keep you to that promise,” he whispered stroking my hair his eyes closed.
I remembered that. It only happened a
