Sorry the first chapter was short, I tried to make it up in this chapter. Hope you enjoy it, 3 - Nikki
I slept through most of the flight, to nervous to stop fidgeting and to tired to really think. I looked up to the ceiling of the plane, when the captain came on annoucing our flight to L.A has landed, from there I was suppose to be picked up from the supposably deceased Peter Hale and taken back to Derek's loft. Leaving the time to be around 11p.m.
I waited for the gathering people around me to grab their things and shuffle down the isle. I thanked Cora for getting me a window seat. Once most of the people were gone I grabbed my bag and headed out of the plane, trying to keep myself calm.
"Beta, Omega, Alpha... Alpha, Omega, Beta..." I thought to myself.
Once I made it to the bag check did I spot him, cropped hair, white v-neck, and formal posture of hands behind his back. I took a breath and made my way over to him.
"You've gotten old Peter," I said, standing beside him.
He turned his head to look at me, raising an eye brow.
"Is that a way to greet somebody you use to consider family?" he questioned.
I smirked and shook my head. I noticed him turn and take in my full apperance, My black hair reached my belly button, brushed out to smooth waves. My crop top barely hidding said belly button and my short blue jean shorts. His eyes reached back to my face showing the dusting of freckles that littered my nose and the tops of my cheeks, right under my light green eyes.
"Well we've got a trip ahead of us , so lets go." he said, nodding towards the doors.
He walked out the doors to and nice looking SUV, he clicked . the button to unlock the doors and took the bags from me.
I awkwardly slid into the front seat and buckled up. Peter got in and started the car.
It the silence took over for a good ten minutes before he disturbed it.
"Where have you been all this time?"
"Mexico," I automatically answered.
"How long have you been in contact with Cora?"
"On and off since the Hale fire. We visit each other often. This is the first time I've seen her or heard from her in a year," I said, yawning slightly.
" How is everything? I mean your what 18 now?" he asked, looking over at me.
" Just turned 18. About to go into my senior year of high school, so things are as good as it gets with that. I lived by my self, had a part time job. I can get through full moons now with out worrying about ripping heads off. Normal I guess you can call it. Not as exciting as your lives seem to have gone," I said.
He smirked slightly at that. It stayed quiet for another ten minutes.
" I am sorry about your family. It was a horrible way to die. I should know I felt the same way about mine for years. You could of stayed with Derek or something. Someone," he said quitely.
I nodded my head, and patted his arm. It wasn't long after that I noticed the town limits for Beacon Hills. I felt my heart beat faster and my palms start to sweat.
"Calm your self Rae! It's just the same old Beacon Hills. Remember what I taught you. Don't let it control you," he said, before making a sharp turn and parking.
I looked around to see another black car and a building. Peter got out and grabbed my things, I opened my door and followed him into the building and into the elevator. We came to a door that he slid open.
I walked in to see a man with dark spiked up hair, blue eyes that pierced you , wolf or man. He looked me up and down before smiling at me. A genuine smile.
"It's good to finally see you again Raeleigh," he said, opening up his arms for a hug.
I ran the rest of the way to him and flung myself onto him, inhaling his scent.
"I've missed you Derek," I half said, half sobbed.
He hugged me tighter.
"I didn't get a greeting like that, and wow, it's been awhile since I've seen Derek actually show his real emotions." Peter said,plopping himself on the sofa.
I lifted my head and smirked at Peter.
"Thank you for picking me up and showing actual concern for me Peter." I said at the same time Derek said.
"How many times do I have to tell you nobody likes you!"
I lightly slapped Derek on the chest and walked over to Peter to give him a hug.
"Welcome back to Beacon Hills Raeleigh Raven," he mumbled.
