Darkest Powers Afterwards

Chapter One

I was kissing Derek in the forest like I had never kissed anybody before. I could feel his mouth moving against mine, his hands moving across my body in smooth motions. His hands had just reached the hem of my shirt when suddenly, a scream ripped through the air. I gasped and pulled away from Derek at the same time he pulled away from me. He looked at me, horror on his face. He knew who made that scream. As did I.

We ran through the woods as fast as we could, desperately trying to make it to Simon. I followed Derek mostly, because he was the one with the enhanced senses. Finally, we burst into a clearing with Simon a few feet away.

Attached to his arm was a large, nearly white wolf. When it saw us, it released its grip immediately. Simons arm was gushing blood, covering his shirt in the deep red substance. The wolf pranced off into the brush. We rushed over to Simon, Derek already stripping out of his shirt. He wrapped it tightly around the wound.

"Simon, are you alright? What happened?" I screech, tears streaming down my face. He looked at me with an amused expression.

"I was trying to find you two, dad thinks someone had followed us. I guess he was right." He explains.

"What do you mean?" I ask quizzically.

"That was a werewolf." Derek said. Suddenly, his head flashes to the bushes off to the side, a hard expression on his face.

"So, pup. Never knew a werewolf to hang out with this kind of crowd before. I'm guessing…..the boys a sorcerer, and the girls a witch?" A tall, blonde woman with bright blue eyes and an athletic type body stepped out into the clearing. She looked to be about 25, but if she was a werewolf, that didn't mean anything. She smirked at us. Derek scowled at her.

"What do you want?" Derek pretty well snarled. She looked at him and grinned.

"You really love these people don't you? I don't know many who would stand up to the alpha to save a witch and a sorcerer. Not including myself of course." Derek's face drained, and his flushed skin turned so white I could almost see through it.

"You're the alpha?" he asks incredulously. His voice came out nearly a whisper. I watched enough of national geographic to know that an alpha was the leader of the pack. I stared at her, knowing she could see the terror in my eyes.

"The one and only." She flashes a grin. "You honestly didn't know?" she asks..

"No I had no idea." He answers. She stares at him with disbelief.

"whats your name pup?" She grins.

"Derek, and who are you" he asks. She smiles a small, venomous smile.

"I'm Elena, and I'm your worst nightmare.
