Hello! Just another one-shot I came up with. Well it's more of a drabble really...
Any who, hope you enjoy!
He protected her.
He had always been protecting her, from the moment her crazy Aunt had tied him up in her basement and brought her in. He called her name and hoped beyond hope that she could turn away and forget what she had seen.
But it was too late.
But he was protecting her again, after doing it countless times in the past, he didn't know why, he just knew that he had to.
The Oni were encircling them, the two men behind them had their guns, he had his strength and his claws and all she had was a small dagger.
So, when one of them had been about to slice her in two, he had put his arm around her, and whirled her around. Then it had sliced into his shoulder, cutting a deep deep wound. But he knew he would be okay and that he would heal. She however, would not.
Then they had been called off, and the two men had turned around just in time to see Derek with his arms encircled around her waist, her back pressed against his chest and both of then gasping for breath as the shock of the moment weighed heavily in their minds. Then a gust of air had hit his injury and he let out a moan of pain before sliding onto the floor.
She had quickly helped him get into a less excruciating position and they shared a quick look of understanding, before she left to tend to the Sheriff, who was stumbling around and trying to think of where the Nogitsune could have gone.
Then her Father had crouched down beside him and thanked him for not only saving his daughters life, but doing so and knowingly risk his own in the process.
Later on, when Scott and Kira arrived, she had looked back at him and she had given him a radiant smile that had lit up her pale but beautiful face and showcased her adorable dimples. It had only been a fleeting smile, but he would have crossed oceans and scaled mountains if he could only see it again.
Peter had given him a knowing look, but it had done nothing to deter him. It was meant to be. He was meant to do it.
He protected her.
