He wasn't in pain, which might have been a good thing if he hadn't been shot three times in the chest. Light, whether from the streetlights or something else, was clouding his vision making it impossible to see anything but a blinding white.
Sorry Laura he thought, I wont make it, Derek tried to focus on his sister's face but instead chose the rain padding on his face, soaking his clothes and turning the run off water red with blood.
Turn right on main, then left into the allies, then take the third right, second left, and then climb down the storm drain in the back, I'll be waiting little brother. I love you. That was the last thing he would ever hear her say, 'I love you', it was nice, poetic even.
Sounds like one of Uncle Peter's books, he thought before his breathing staggered and his lungs didn't rise and fall like they were supposed to
"Should I finish him off?" He heard a man say, probably one of policemen that shot him. He couldn't find it in his heart to be angry. He didn't want anger to be the last thing he felt.
He heard another man laugh, "The mutts as good as dead, let him bleed out." He felt a foot nudge him in the side before they walked away, leaving Derek bleeding and dying in the alley; he wasn't the first to die like this and he certainly wouldn't be the last.
When the information went public that werewolves, witches, shapeshifters and other supernatural beings were real, the crime force became hunters, killing anyone that was ever suspected of the so-called sin of being supernatural. Men, women, and children,were all shot in the head and cremated; any one that helped them was tried for treason and sentenced to life in prison.
He laughed to himself. So much for a fair trial. Maybe they were afraid of others like him being on the jury. Who knew that DNA was a crime?
Derek's breathing slowed and his heart was slowly creeping to a stop. He blinked a few times, the rain wasn't cold anymore, and the sounds of the city became a dull roar.
"Come on big guy, its cold out here" Derek turned his head as much as he could towards the voice but all he could see was a silhouette. It was kind, and sweet.
Maybe there was a god. Maybe he was even sympathetic to those like him?
Derek was lifted up, warm spreading his body like someone was hugging him then the world went black. And he was ok with that.
