Skye's POV
It's been a week since everything went down and things were sort of starting to get back to normal, well normal as it can since I was no longer a hunter who hunted, I was dating a werewolf now and living with him since my father is gone and I refused to leave Derek's side.
Derek and I are great closer then ever and for the last few days we've been trying to find a place to hide out since the Argents have called war on Derek for becoming the Alpha and for what happened at the Hale house.
"So where is this place you found?" I asked Derek turning to face him in the confines of the Camaro.
"You'll see" I rolled my eyes and watched him smile which made me smile because his smile could brighten even my darkest of moods and lately that was more often.
"You should know I hate surprises or secrets" he grabbed my hand then pressed it to his lips.
"Just be patient Skye" I sighed looking back out of the passenger window as he started driving through the warehouse district of Beacon Hills which confused me but I was intrigued on where the hell he was taking me.
We finally pulled up near some kind of long forgotten building, I got out staring up at it in confusion but just followed him wordlessly holding onto his hand as he led me inside then down a metal staircase and I finally got a good look at what he was wanting to show me.
"This is your idea of a hideout?" it looked like an old railroad depo or something and there was four rusty train cars in front of me.
"We don't have a lot of other choices here Skye" I sighed knowing that and wasn't going to leave him.
"Yeah okay but we're going to need running water or something and lights"
"There's some old toilets back there with running showers still, I tested them earlier when I found this place and I'll set up some lights or something, we'll make this place work Skye" I nodded then turned around and smiled at him.
"Well then we should start moving in, huh?" he laughed walking towards me and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Do you wanna grab your stuff first then we'll figure out a way to grab some of mine from the Hale house" I frowned looking up at him because I didn't like either of those options as they involve the two worst places for me right now, my house because there was too much memory and the Hale house because of what happened and because the Argents we're staking the place out.
"I guess so"
"Come on, we'll get it over with quickly" I nodded then grabbed his hand and we walked out.
I grabbed all the bags of clothes from my room taking them out to Derek's car then walked back inside heading to the basement where Derek already was looking around the room which was bare now since Jake and I had both already cleaned out this room.
"Uh I only need the trunk" I replied anxiously. "But be careful it's all the weapons I decided to keep with me" he frowned looking up at me. "Don't give me that look, you know I'm not hunting anymore but that doesn't mean I'm going to be defenseless especially when I'll be living with a werewolf" he sighed but grabbed the trunk and took it up to his car.
The rest of the furniture I'd already organized to be donated to a charity so once everything was cleared out the house was going to go up sale.
We finished up at my place and the moment I walked out I felt the remorse hit me but I still refused to shed a tear for my father because in the end he'd still hurt me and that is something I'll never forgive him for doing.
"Get me out of here" Derek nodded then grabbed my hand and led me to his car and we drove away for the last time.
Derek ended up being able to sneak back into the Hale house and quickly gathered up everything he could while we had the chance which was a duffel bag of clothes that he'd brought with him when he first came back and some kind of trunk that when I asked what it was he just told me not to worry which of course made me a little mad but he was entitled to his secrets just like I expected him to do for me.
We we're driving back to the train depo when Derek suddenly flinched and served off the road for a second before righting himself and I looked over at him worriedly.
"Derek?" he looked over at me. "What did you hear?" I asked since that was the only thing that could explain that reaction.
"Lydia screaming" he replied furrowing his eyebrows.
"What, where?" I asked him looking around.
"Everywhere" he replied confusing me but before I could ask him, my phone buzzed in my pocket with a text from Stiles.
Lydia's missing, she took off from the hospital, need your help tracking her please come it's an emergency – Stiles, I frowned looking down at it because while I vowed to be done with hunting and tracking this was Lydia and we had no idea what was wrong with her since Scott and Stiles went to the hospital a few days ago to check if her wounds were healing signaling her change but they hadn't healed at all.
"Can you drop me off at the hospital, Lydia's missing" he frowned but nodded, when he pulled up in the hospital car park I saw Allison so I quickly jumped out after giving him a quick kiss and ran towards her. "Ally!" she turned and her eyes widened.
"Did you hear about it to?" I nodded then we spotted Stiles jeep so we ran towards it just as he started it up and the lights turned on blinding me momentarily.
"What are you doing here, someone's going to see us" Scott said looking at Allison as we approached his side of the jeep.
"I don't care, she is my best friend and we need to find her before they do" Allison argued with him.
"I can find her before the cops can" Scott replied and I loved how ignored I was in this conversation.
"How about before my father does?"
"He knows?" Stiles asked her.
"Yeah" Allison replied and I frowned because that wasn't good. "I just saw him and three other guys leave my house in two SUV's"
"Search party" Scott said looking at Stiles but I shook my head.
"Sounds more like a hunting party" I argued with him.
"Get in" Scott replied opening the door and Allison and I quickly squeezed over him getting into the back before Stiles pulled out of the carpark and headed down the road.
"If she's turning would they actually kill her?" Stiles asked Allison as we drove.
"I don't know" Allison replied shaking her head. "They won't tell me anything all they say is we'll talk after Kate's funeral when the others get here" I frowned not liking the sound of that.
"What others?" Stiles asked.
"They won't tell me that either" she replied.
"Okay, your family has got some serious communication issues to work on" I scoffed because secrets and lies were just about the backbone of every hunter family. "Scott are we going the right way?" Stiles yelled to Scott, who had his head out the window sniffing like a dog and I couldn't help smile at it.
"Take the next right" Scott yelled and Stiles did as he was told.
"She came here?" Stiles asked, as the four of us walked up to the burnt shell of Derek's old house.
"This is where the sent leads" Scott said as I rubbed my arms nervously, this place gave me goose bumps now.
"Alright but has Lydia ever been here?"
"Not with me" Allison replied then looked at me.
"Not with me either" I added then looked over at Scott. "Maybe she was using instinct...to look for Derek"
"You mean looking for an Alpha" Scott said.
"Wolves need a pack, right?" Allison asked him.
"Not all of them" he replied sounding dejected.
"But would she have been drawn to an Alpha is it an instinct to be part of a pack?"
"Yeah, we're…we're stronger in packs"
"Like strength in numbers" I asked him confused.
"No like literally stronger, faster, better in every way" Scott replied and I frowned thinking about that because I knew it was a werewolf's instinct to be in a pack and it'd been on my mind for the last few days on when Derek might start creating his but I didn't want to bring it up just yet and ruin the little love bubble we we're in.
"That the same for an Alpha?" Allison asked, I looked up waiting for a reply.
"It'll make Derek stronger too" Scott muttered.
"Whoa hey look at this" Stiles interrupted making us look over to see him kneeling on the ground and holding up a wire so Allison and I walked over to him. "You see this I think it's a trip wire" he held it up higher and we heard something click.
"Stiles?" Scott said behind us.
"Yeah buddy" Stiles replied as he, Allison and I turned and saw Scott hanging upside down in the air by his leg, his head just inches from the ground. "Oh"
"Next time you see a trip wire don't trip it" Scott replied holding up his hands and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Yeah noted" we walked over to help get him down.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait someone's coming, hide" he whispered holding up his hands, we hesitated looking around since neither of us heard anything. "Go!" we ran down the hill, hiding behind some trees.
I peeked around and saw Mr Argent with two other hunters walk up to Scott but I couldn't hear any of their conversation then when they left Stiles, Allison and I started walking back over to Scott since they left him dangling by his leg.
"Are you okay?" Allison asked him.
"It's just another life-threatening conversation with your dad" Scott replied as I spotted a pulley rope system hanging from a tree.
"Help me with this" we went over to it but there was a thud behind us and the line went slack, we looked back to see Scott had cut himself free.
"Thanks but I think I got it" we scoffed at him.
"Yeah" Stiles said.
"Coming?" Scott asked walking towards Derek's old house so we followed after him but we didn't find Lydia or any sign she'd ever been here so we ended up giving up and left, I got them to drop me off at my old place since Derek and I didn't want anybody knowing where we we're staying.
Once they we're gone I ran down the street towards the alleyway I used to meet Derek in and found my bike hidden under a tarp since this is where I'd hidden it while Derek and I we're on the run but now that we'd found a place I guess it was safe to use now.
I grabbed the helmet off the seat and found the keys exactly where I left them in an old soup can underneath my bike so I put it in the ignition and turned it then smiled when my bike roared to life since I missed that sound.
I swung my leg over and pulled my helmet on then checked my surroundings quickly just to make sure I wasn't being watched and followed before I pulled away onto the road and drove back to the train depo parking where Derek showed me since we we're still going to have to hide my bike and his Camaro just in case the Argents drove by because their easily spotted.
I walked around the building and did another quick sweep of my surroundings before slipping inside and headed down the metal staircase but what surprised me was that Derek had already set up a few lights around which made me smile.
"Derek?" I made it to the bottom of the stairs and looked around but I couldn't see him anywhere.
"Hey" I jumped and screamed as I turned around and saw him right behind me.
"Don't scare me like that" I hit his chest but he just laughed shaking his head.
"Sorry but your adorable when you're scared" I rolled my eyes then walked towards the train cars.
"So what have you been up to in my absence?" I asked him looking around and saw he'd cleaned up as well.
"Well obviously I cleaned up, hung the lights and-" he paused and looked down which confused me because he'd gone to tell me something.
"And?" I pressed and watched him sigh before taking a seat on some crates which made me worry since obviously this was serious. "Derek what is it?"
"Skye you know that I wouldn't do anything that would try and upset you but you know werewolves need a pack" I frowned understanding what he was trying to tell me so I walked towards him and wrapped my arms around his shoulders.
"I know Derek and I wouldn't try to take that from you because I know it's your nature but I don't want you to do what Peter did, it has to be their choice and you can't pressure anyone into it" he nodded wrapping his arms around my waist pulling me to stand between his legs.
"I won't do that Skye, whoever I decide to bite in I'm giving them the choice" I frowned because I didn't exactly like that plan either.
"What if you tell someone and they decide no then they'll know about you which is dangerous especially with the war with the Argents that we both know is coming"
"Hey it's okay I'm not going into any one of them lightly"
"Any one of them?" I asked quirking an eyebrow at him. "How many are we talking about?"
"Three at first but maybe more if they become necessary" I frowned and looked down. "Hey I know you don't like it but I need a pack" I sighed and nodded my head.
"Okay I'm with you" I looked up then kissed him softly at first but with the growing sexual tension between us lately it quickly got more heated.
"Skye…" I nodded leaning back and sighed because this was starting to annoy me.
"I know, I know" he cupped my cheeks and lifted my face.
"Soon okay" I nodded again because he always said that.
"So anyone in mind yet?" I asked generally interested since this was going to affect me as well as Derek.
"Maybe" he replied intriguing me.
"Who?" he sighed looking down.
"It's a kid from your school, I was out looking for Lydia tonight when I ran into him at the cemetery after he was attacked by an Omega-"
"Wait what?" I glared at him. "There's an Omega in town and I'm just finding out about it now"
"Whoa hey take it easy, I'm telling you now because I only found out myself when I saved the kid after the Omega pushed over the backhoe he was using and trapped him in a grave" I frowned looking up apologetically.
"Sorry I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions" he chuckled. "So who is this kid?"
"His names Isaac, Isaac Lahey"
"Have you offered him the bite yet?" he nodded so I nodded back at him.
"Don't worry Skye I'm pretty sure he's going to say yes, I got a bit of backstory first when I noticed a bruise on his eye" I frowned looking up at him. "His dad abuses him and even locks him in a freezer" my eyes widened in shock because that was horrible.
"What the hell kind of father does that?" I spat but then frowned because I should know better than anyone that there we're fathers out there that liked beating their children. "Actually never mind"
"Skye-"
"Don't Derek I don't want to talk about it" I stepped out of his grasp. "So where are we sleeping, I have school tomorrow and need the sleep" he sighed loudly then stood up and led me to the last train car where I saw a mattress laying on the ground made with sheets and two pillows.
"It's not much but it's a place to sleep" I nodded my head because I didn't care as long as I got to continue waking up next to Derek. "Your bags are here" he nodded over to one of the seats where my bags and the trunk with my weapons were sitting on. "I'll leave you to get changed" I watched him leave and knew I'd upset him but I wasn't ready to talk about my dad yet even with him.
I grabbed a t-shirt and some cotton shorts to change into then headed out towards the bathrooms and showered using the showers and we're surprised they actually had hot water, after I was done I dressed then went back into the train car seeing Derek sitting on the bed shirtless.
"Skye are you ever going to talk about your dad?"
"What's there to talk about Derek, he's gone" I sat down on the bed and crawled under the blanket, I watched his shoulders sag before he turned off all the lights then laid down beside me and it was silent for a few minutes as we tried to fall asleep on opposite sides of the mattress which was strange since the last few days I would always fall asleep in his arms.
"When your ready to talk, you know I'm here right" I turned my head looking over at him and saw his eyes we're still open.
"Of course I know that Derek but I don't want to talk about my father, I just want to forget" he sighed nodding his head.
"I guess I can understand that" I rolled over and pressed myself against him.
"Don't worry Derek, I'm fine and if I ever want to talk about it then you're the first person I'll talk to because I love you" he smiled and ran his hand over my cheek then brought my lips up to meet his.
"I can live with that" I laughed and rolled my eyes but moved in for another quick kiss before I moved laying my head against his chest and wrapped my arm around his waist before letting myself drift off.
I rolled over in the morning and expected to come into contact with Derek but fell on empty mattress so I looked up but couldn't see him anywhere, I sat up and saw a note sitting on the top of my clothes bag.
Skye,
Gone out but I'll be back by the time you get home from school, don't worry about me I'll be careful.
Derek xx
I sighed then got up and started getting dressed, I grabbed some dark blue jeans, grey v-neck t-shirt and a denim jacket with my usual combat boots then grabbed my helmet and black fingerless leather gloves before grabbing my backpack and left the train depo making sure to secure the place up before I headed over to my bike and hopped on the rode to school.
I parked in my usual parking place and pulled my helmet off shaking out my long curls then looked up seeing Scott and Stiles heading into school so I quickly got off and caught up with them making myself known loudly so I wouldn't scare Stiles.
"Hey Skye, did you hear about the grave robbery last night, a liver was missing" Stiles said looking up at me, I frowned since Derek didn't tell me that. "I'm pretty sure it was Lydia"
"She ate the liver?" Scott asked him while I stayed quiet.
"No I didn't say she ate it, I just said it was missing and even if she did, so what it's the most nutritious part of the body" I gave him a disgusted face.
"You're disturbing Stiles"
"I never ate anyone's liver" Scott cut in before Stiles could comment on my observation.
"Yeah cause when it comes to werewolves, you're a model of self-control" Stiles spat a little venomously. "Actually wait, hold on" I looked up as Stiles stopped Scott. "You're the test case for this so we should be going over what happened to you"
"What do you mean?" Scott asked back confused and I rolled my eyes.
"He means, what was going through your mind when you we're turning?" I cut in and inwardly debated while I was still hanging out with these idiots, I didn't have to watch Scott anymore so therefore had no reason to be but they we're kind of the only semi-friends I have since moving here as I haven't had time to make any others.
"What we're you drawn to?" Stiles added when Scott still looked at us dumbfounded.
"Allison" Scott replied and I stared at him.
"Nothing else?" I asked him. "Seriously?"
"Nothing else mattered" he admitted with a small smile. "But no, that's good though right?"
"How is that good?" I asked him not seeing the connection.
"Cause the night Lydia was bitten she was with Stiles" I looked up and shrugged as that kind of made sense but I doubted it since Lydia only went with Stiles to the formal because of Ally.
"Yeah but she was looking for Jackson" Stiles replied pointing over at the silver Porsche that just pulled into the carpark with Jackson getting out of it.
"Well you never know Stiles, this just might be your chance" I laughed tapping his shoulder.
"Thanks for the sarcasm Skyler" I glared at him because I hate my full name.
"Don't call me Skyler" I snapped at him angrily. "Call me Skye or I'll shoot you in the face" I walked off ahead of them.
"Psycho" I stopped and turned back to Stiles. "Uh I mean…ah crap" he moved behind Scott who was smiling at this exchange between me and Stiles.
"I'd watch my back Stiles, Scott wont always be around to hide behind" I smirked then headed into school heading to my locker.
"Skye hey?" I turned and saw Allison so I gave her a smile.
"Hey Ally, what's up?" she smiled but still looked nervous about something.
"Are we okay?" I frowned as I opened my locker and dropped my helmet into it.
"Yeah why wouldn't we be okay"
"Just with everything that happened with Kate, your dad and the Hale house you haven't said so much as a word to me" I frowned again grabbing out my first class book.
"That has nothing to do with you, more to do with your family" she frowned as I turned to her. "I've given up hunting and I know your dad might not like that even though it's none of his business and also because I'm kind of living with Derek so..." her eyes widened. "Yeah that's exactly the reaction I was expecting which is why I'm hoping we can not tell your dad"
"Why, where's your brother?" I shut my locker then turned to her.
"He went back to Berkley but he emancipated me before he left because right now Derek is the best thing to happen to me since moving here so…" I shrugged. "Secret please?" I held out my pinkie finger and she laughed.
"They won't find out from me" she linked her pinkie with mine and we shook them. "Just like when we we're kids" I laughed then let go and we headed towards study hall before school officially started then we went our separate ways for class.
I walked into chemistry and took a seat next to Scott giving him a small smile before I leaned back and waited for Harris to hand the pop quiz out which surprised me since I hadn't known about it and didn't study given the week Derek and I have spent looking for accommodations, I started to look over the first page but Stiles' voice caught my attention.
"Alright it's causing me severe mental anguish to say this but he's right" I looked at Scott confused since I clearly missed something.
"Jackson" Scott said after he caught my look before looking back at Stiles "And I know" he added directing it at Stiles.
"What if the next body part she steals is from someone who's still alive?" Stiles asked him.
"This is a pop quiz Mr Stilinski, if I hear your voice again I may be tempted in giving you detention for the rest of your high school career" Harris told him.
"Can you do that?" Stiles asked and I bit my lip to keep myself from laughing.
"There it is again, your voice triggering the only impulse I've ever had to strike a student repeatedly and violently" I raised my eyebrow towards this teacher since I'm pretty sure you couldn't talk to students this way. "I'll see you at three for detention" I looked back at Stiles smirking at him as he glared towards Mr Harris. "You too Mr McCall, Miss Venandi?"
"No sir" Scott said and I shook my head glaring at him because I didn't do anything yet he called on me.
I quickly got to work on my quiz filling out the answers as best I could which wasn't exactly as hard as I thought but then Jackson suddenly ran out looking like he had a bloody nose so I looked back at his table and noticed a few drops of what looked like black blood on his quiz paper, it was the same color of blood Derek threw up when his body was trying to heal itself when Kate shot him.
I looked towards the door where Jackson disappeared and glared because I was perceptive enough to know that wasn't a coincidence and oh was Derek going to be in trouble when I get back to the train depo for not telling me he's bitten Jackson.
After school I headed towards my locker but saw Allison was already at hers pulling out a dress for Kate's funeral which was today and I frowned at the deep breath she took so I walked towards her and touched her shoulder.
"You okay?" she nodded then noticed a note in her locker so she grabbed it and opened it while I looked away knowing it was personal but looked up when she smiled so I guessed it was something from Scott, she put it back then went to close her locker.
"Nice dress" I looked up at the voice and saw it was from a boy a couple lockers down.
"Nice camera" Allison replied but then two other voices caught our attention.
"…not her sister, her Aunt, the one who murdered all those people with her dad" I turned and saw two girls talking behind us.
"You mean the crazy bitch and follower who killed all those people?" I frowned.
"Yeah the fire, all those animal attacks, it was Allison's Aunt and Skyler's Father"
"Are you kidding I sit next to Allison in English"
"Find a new seat" the first girl said then they laughed so I glared towards them especially when Allison took off which pissed me off even more than I already was so I walked towards them.
"Hey ever heard the phase 'Bitches get Stiches', we don't get to pick our family so maybe you should think about that before you go gossiping when clearly everyone can hear you" I stormed off not caring that I practically just forfeited my chance to make any new friends but then I'd probably already had because of my dad.
Jake and I were the only living relatives my dad had left so it'd been up to us on what we did for a funereal but we didn't want one because the media and everyone staring at us so we'd opted to have his remains cremated and Jake got them sent to him since I wanted nothing to do with my dad or his ashes.
When I figured it'd been enough time for students to leave I went back and grabbed my stuff from my locker and headed over to my bike pulling on my helmet before I sped out of the carpark going back to the train depo again being careful I wasn't followed but I knew most of the Argents were going to Kate's funereal.
I parked my bike next to Derek's Camaro kicking the stand out then pulled my helmet off glaring towards it because I might just use this anger for good, I hopped off then headed inside watching him come out of our train car with a smile but it soon fell.
"What the hell we're you thinking!?" I yelled at him.
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about Jackson Derek, did you think I wasn't going to find out?" he frowned looking down at his feet.
"I was going to tell you but after the last week, trying to find somewhere to stay there wasn't any time"
"Wasn't any time, are you kidding me?" I spat at him. "When did you bite him?"
"The night your dad died, after I left you I went back to the Hale house and he turned up asking for it so I gave it to him"
"You're an idiot, did you honestly think Jackson was the best person to bite, the guy has been hassling Scott since day one and if it wasn't for him then they wouldn't have even found out about Scott and it's his fault you we're taken by your ex-sex buddy, need I list anything else"
"Skye-" he took steps towards me but I stepped back.
"No I'm angry at you and I'm not about to let you weasel your way out of it, you should have told me about Jackson Derek"
"I know!" he yelled startling me. "I know and I'm sorry" he walked towards me again and this time I didn't step back. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you okay"
"Derek we need to be able to be honest with each other otherwise this is never going to work especially when the odds are already stacked against us"
"And I will okay, I promise I'll tell you about anyone else I plan on turning okay" I nodded then sighed loudly turning to drop my helmet down on some old crates. "Now what else is bothering you?"
"Just school" I muttered rolling my head trying to relive the pressure.
"What happened?" he asked coming up behind me and immediately his hands went to my shoulders and neck working at the knot there.
"Some girls we're standing right behind me and Allison gossiping about Kate and…and my dad not caring that we could hear every word and I might have exploded at them which ruined any chance to be normal at that school again" he laughed so I turned and hit his chest. "It wasn't funny Derek!"
"I know but I could only imagine it" I rolled my eyes at him but then smiled because his smile was infectious.
"You're an ass" I went to walk away but he grabbed my waist lifting me up and sat me on the crates next to my helmet.
"Hey come here, am I forgiven?" I pretended to think about it before pressing my lips to his.
"Not at all but I needed that" I replied after we separated, he smiled then went to press his lips back to mine but then the sound of static interrupted us. "What the hell is that?" I hopped down and walked into our train car and I walked towards the box of guns opening it then found what it was, it was my old radio I used to listen in on police frequency's.
"That things being going off all day, I didn't want to see what it was since that's your stuff" I smiled back at him then turned it up louder.
"…did you say 4-1-5 Adam?" I frowned at the Sheriff's voice.
"What is that?" Derek asked me.
"4-1-5 is a disturbance in a car" I replied and watched him shake his head probably surprised I knew every police code.
"They we're taking a heart attack victim D.O.A but on the way to the hospital something hit 'em" I looked back at Derek.
"What, hit the ambulance?" the sheriff asked his colleague.
"Copy that, I'm standing in front of it right now, something got in the back there's blood everywhere and I mean everywhere"
"The Omega?" I asked looking up at Derek and he nodded.
"Probably" I frowned because there was something seriously wrong with this guy, first he robs a grave and takes a liver, now hitting some poor dead person on the way to the hospital.
"Alright unit four, what's your 20?" the sheriff asked.
"Route five and post, I swear I've never seen anything like this" I frowned turning the radio off then sighed looking up at Derek.
"We have to stop this guy, he's not hurting anybody really but he can't keep doing this" Derek nodded so I sighed loudly then grabbed my dagger out of the pocket in the top lid and slipped it into my boot then grabbed a Glock.
"You okay to be doing this?" Derek asked watching me load it up with normal lead bullets.
"Yeah I'm okay" I pulled off the denim jacket then pulled on a shoulder holster then tucked the gun and an extra clip into it before grabbing my blue leather jacket and pulled it over to hide them. "Ok ready" he smiled despite watching me load up my weapons.
"Let's go" he grabbed my hand and led me out of the train depo locking up before we headed to his Camaro and sped to the location then parked the car in a secure position before hiking through the woods with him tracking the Omega.
"Who would have thought a former hunter and a werewolf teaming up to track" Derek rolled his eyes but I saw the hint of a smile.
"Just stay close, this guy might not be all entirely stable and won't hesitate to attack before you get the chance to pull the trigger" I nodded rolling my eyes just slightly at the insinuation I'm only useful with my gun but kept in step behind him all the same since although I could easily fight my way out he was my best chance against a rabid Omega, we walked a bit further when Derek suddenly stopped and inhaled deeply then looked up and growled.
"What?" I asked but he didn't reply and just grabbed my hand then ran so I didn't question him and tried to keep up with him as he pulled on my hand, he dropped my hand then ran forward a bit jumping down off a rock then shoved someone over.
"Skyler hurry up" he grabbed…Scott and started dragging him over to the trees while the omega I'm guessing was trapped in a hunters snare by his arms. "Skye now!" I quickly looked away and ran to catch up with Derek who was restraining Scott.
"What are you doing, I can help him" Scott protested.
"They're already here" Derek replied as I ducked behind him knowing who he was talking about.
"I can help him!"
"Quiet!" Derek snapped looking towards where we'd left the Omega and I watched as the Argent's and their other hunters came into view while the werewolf hanging by his wrists snarled every time Mr Argent took a step close to him but then he electrocuted the werewolf forcing him to shift back into a human.
"Who are you?" Mr Argent asked but when the Omega didn't answer he continued. "What are you doing here?"
"Nothing, nothing I swear" he finally stuttered.
"You're not from here are you" Mr Argent asked him but again got no response. "ARE YOU?" he yelled.
"No!" the Omega replied. "No I came…I came looking for the Alpha, I heard he was here that's all" I looked up at Derek knowing that his reply would've just added to the target on his back from the Argent's. "Look I didn't do anything I didn't hurt anyone, no one living he wasn't alive in the ambulance, he wasn't I swear" the man added pleading for his life.
"Gentlemen!" another voice yelled out and my eyes widened in shock as I peered around to get a better look and saw the man I'd hoped to never see again since even as a five year old he'd creeped me out.
"Oh no" I mumbled to myself and both Derek and Scott turned to me but I didn't look up at them.
"Take a look at a rare sight" Gerard Argent went on as he turned towards his son. "You wanna tell them what we've caught?"
"An Omega!" Mr Argent answered him.
"The lone wolf, possibly kicked out of his own pack or the survivor of a pack that was hunted down, maybe even murdered and possibly alone by his own choice, certainly not a wise choice" Gerard walked towards a rock behind him and slowly pulled out a sword then walked back towards the dangling werewolf. "Because as I am about to demonstrate…an Omega rarely survives…on his own"
"No!" I whispered and went to go out there but Derek grabbed a hold of my jacket just as Gerard swung the sword and sliced through the werewolf severing his lower half.
"Look, look, look at them" Derek said forcing Scott to look. "You see what they do, this is why you need me why we need each other, the only way to fight them is together"
"What are they doing?" Scott asked him as I glared at the scene watching Gerard be proud of his work.
"Declaring war!" Derek replied seething with anger then pushed Scott away and we quietly made our escape then got into Derek's Camaro and dropped Scott home before we returned to the train depo, I immediately headed into our train car and dropped my weapons back into the trunk. "Skye talk to me?"
"Derek our lives just got more difficult" I replied sitting down on the mattress.
"You mean Gerard?" I looked up shocked that he knew who it was. "They used to live here remember, I know who Gerard is" I sighed running my hands through my hair.
"You don't know him like I do though" I looked up as he sat beside me. "He's cruel, vindictive and calculating, even as a child when we would visit the Argents I steered clear of him when he was there because even when I didn't know about werewolves or my family's alternative job he frightened me Derek"
"Hey he won't hurt you, you honestly think I'd let him hurt you?" I turned to him.
"It's not me I'm worried about Derek, he just declared war on you which also means he declared war on me and believe me he's not going to like it when he finds out the part I played in Kate's death"
"You had nothing to do with Kate's death" he cupped my cheeks.
"It won't matter to him because as far as the Argents believe I'm a werewolf sympathizer and that's worse than being turned into one" I moved and straddled his waist. "I can't lose you Derek, your all I have left"
"I'm not going anywhere Skye because nothing is going to happen to me" he traced his thumb under my eyes and I sighed leaning into it. "And I promise the Argents aren't going to touch you, I will never let them hurt you again"
"Derek I don't want you protecting me if it means you'll be reckless and get yourself killed because if you died saving me then I'd never forgive myself"
"Skye you're my mate and I'd gladly give my life if it meant you we're safe" I frowned looking up at him.
"No you won't Derek" he smiled cupping my cheeks again.
"Let's agree to disagree on this matter" I frowned but he quickly kissed me and I found myself distracted until he pulled away.
"Nice try but no dice" he frowned which made me smile. "If you want to vow to lay down your life for my protection then I'll do the same, because I'd die to protect you as well"
"Skye-"
"Uh" I put my finger over his lips. "Fair is fair Derek Hale" he growled but I could sense it was playfully.
"What am I going to do with you?" I smiled.
"I can think of a few things" before he could argue I crashed my lips down on his and wrapped my arms around his shoulders keeping us tightly pressed together. "I love you Derek, more than my own life"
"Skye-" he was cut off by the metal door into the train depo closing which made us both look up shocked and he breathed in sampling the scents. "Isaac" he answered me when I looked at him then he moved me off his lap and stood up to greet our new guest.
I frowned because he was almost finally about to give in but of course the universe was out there just to screw with me, I stood up when he stepped out of the train car and followed him seeing Isaac's eyes widen.
"Hi" I waved nervously because I had no idea what Derek had told him or how much he knew.
"Isaac this is Skye, Skye this is Isaac" Isaac looked up at me a little shy so I smiled
"Don't worry Isaac, I'm not the one who bites" I joked and saw Derek roll his eyes.
"She will shoot you if you cross her though" Derek replied back making it my turn to glare and roll my eyes at him before I walked up to Isaac.
"Skyler Venandi but call me Skye or I will shoot you" Isaac laughed and took my hand as I offered it to him and I watched Derek frown as we shook hands.
"Are you two…?" Isaac asked gesturing between me and Derek.
"Yes so hands off" Derek replied and I rolled my eyes.
"Don't mind him he's a sourwolf" I replied smiling when I saw Isaac did and because Derek groaned at the word 'sourwolf' and I'll admit I have to tip my hat off to Stiles for that nickname because it's so Derek.
