A/N: This Chapter has Two POV's - Skye's & Derek's
Skye's POV
I let Scott ride my bike home as I rode in the Jeep with the rest of the gang since I was refusing to leave Derek's side the entire way home from Mexico and it was a very awkward and strange car ride because all I could do was stare at Derek both confused as to how Kate did this and attracted because I'd only ever imagined what Derek looked like when he was my age but now I had him right in front of me and I wasn't disappointed.
As soon as we got back to Beacon Hills we dropped of Kira and Malia at their homes before driving straight to the animal clinic just as it started pouring down rain, Stiles parked and we all quickly got out with Scott grabbing Derek throwing him over his shoulder as we ran in and Deaton rushed us into the back motioning for us to lay him down on the metal table.
"Wow" Deaton said taking a step back when he saw Derek's condition.
"Wow?" Stiles asked him. "Wow as in 'I've seen this before and I know exactly what to do' kind of wow, cause that's the kind of wow we're hoping for?"
"I think you might be underestimating my abilities" I frowned grabbing a hold of Derek's hand and he was ice cold.
"He's cold" I spoke up looking up at Deaton worriedly. "Like really cold" Deaton quickly grabbed his other hand to feel for himself.
"Do you think this is permanent?" Scott asked making me look up again as Deaton shined a penlight into both of Derek's eyes testing the dilation.
"I'm not sure a medical diagnosis is even adequate" Deaton replied then looked up at us. "This is well beyond my experience"
"So what do we do with him?" Stiles asked him as I focused back on Derek.
"Until he wakes up, probably not much" I frowned not liking that. "It might be best to leave him with me, he'll be safe here"
"You mean from Kate?" I asked him looking up.
"If she's alive and she is what you say she is, she won't be able to walk past that gate"
"Why would she do this to him?" I asked out loud without meaning to.
"Knowing Kate, it's probably for a reason that won't be any good for anyone but her"
"And bad for everyone else" Stiles added making me growl angrily because this just flared up my vendetta against Kate and knew that if I get the chance she's dead and I don't care what happens to me.
"You guys should probably go home he doesn't look to be in any danger, so maybe the rest of you should get some sleep, it is a school night and you all need to start taking care of your own lives again"
"Someone should stay with you guys" Scott protested.
"I'm not going anywhere, he is my life" I argued without looking up from Derek. "My grades are fine despite missing a few classes" I added looking up when they seemed hesitant.
"I'm so not okay with this" Stiles protested so I turned to him angrily.
"Guys go" I argued.
"No" I glared at him and let my eyes glow bright gold then turned to Scott for help.
"Text us if everything happens" I nodded my head looking back down at Derek squeezing his hand.
"Nope, still not okay with it" Stiles protested yet again but Scott grabbed his shoulder and started dragging him out as Lydia followed them. "Not going…okay just cause your stronger…" I rolled my eyes without looking up.
"Yell out if anything happens" Deaton told me before he left me walking towards the front, I nodded then gently brushed Derek's hair away from his eyes without letting go of his other hand.
"You're going to be okay, I promise we're going to do everything we can to fix this" I pulled a seat over and just sat up watching him for the rest of the morning not realizing that I fell asleep until I woke up to the sound of Deaton looking over Derek and noticed he'd pulled the desk chair away from the table. "How's he doing?"
"His heart rate is alarmingly high" I stood up anxiously and walked over to stand next to him and grabbed Derek's hand again noting he was a lot warmer now.
"He's a lot warmer now" I spoke out loud.
"Skyler, I'm going to try something I want you to keep holding his hand if that's okay" I nodded since he didn't have to ask me twice but I was a little concerned on what he was doing since I didn't want to treat my boyfriend like a lab rat.
He grabbed a small scalpel holding it up and I looked at him with hard eyes but he gave me a look asking me to trust him so I sighed nodding my head then watched as he ran it down his arm making a cut but it healed immediately which shouldn't have been possible.
"That…looks like it healed really fast" I pointed out the obvious looking up at Deaton confused.
"Unusually fast"
"What does it mean?" I asked him worriedly.
"I'm not sure" he replied then looked up. "Let's try something else, grab me a five-millimeter syringe, top drawer" I nodded then reluctantly let go of his hand and went towards the drawers opening the right one since I'd helped Scott out here sometimes and knew my way around but the sound of Derek standing up behind us made me turn and saw him awake.
"Derek" I took a step forward but Deaton held out his arm stopping me when we saw Derek's claws and glowing blue eyes.
"Derek?"
"Derek are you alright?" I asked ignoring Deaton's attempt to keep me back. "Derek hey it's me, it's Skye" he looked up at me but I saw no recognition in his eyes.
"Are you all right, Derek?" Deaton asked him holding me back again clearly seeing Derek didn't seem to know who I was. "Wait" I didn't take my eyes off Derek even as he took a step towards me.
"Derek" come on you know who I am, he started holding his head and looked completely disorientated.
"Can you hear me, your safe" Deaton cut in holding his hand out towards Derek. "Derek?" Derek finally looked up but then lashed out slashing his claws across Deaton's arm before sprinting out of the clinic.
"Derek!" I yelled going to follow him but Deaton's painful groan made me pause and look back to see him sitting on the ground where he fell holding his arm which was bleeding, I frowned conflicted between catching up with my clearly confused mate but Deaton came first.
"Call Scott" I nodded and called Scott while grabbing out some stuff to tend to the wound on Deaton's arm but it went straight to voicemail.
"Scott really need you to call me back, like now!" I hung up the phone then tried Stiles but same result so I groaned and knew they would be in History right now so I texted Mr Yukimura.
Scott, call Skyler
Satisfied that would get their attention I started patching up the wound on Deaton's arm cleaning it out with antiseptic then started tapping a gauze pad over it just as Stiles, Scott and Lydia ran in looking around hastily.
"Where is he?" Scott asked.
"He's gone" I sighed looking down at my task.
"I don't think he's just younger in body, I think he's younger in his mind too" Deaton added and they looked at us confused.
"He didn't recognize either of us and he looked like he was scared out of his mind" I seconded finishing up then looked up towards Scott and Stiles.
"So if you're a teenage werewolf and your scared, where do you go?" Stiles asked.
"A wolf goes back to its den, but Derek lives in a loft" Scott replied looking at him.
"Not when he was a teenager" Stiles argued.
"The Hale house" I spoke up when I realized that was exactly where Derek would be heading at this age. "He wouldn't remember the fire"
"It wouldn't have happened yet" Deaton added, the boys nodded at me and we started to leave.
"Hold on" Lydia spoke up for the first time stopping us from leaving. "Say you do manage to catch up to him, what are you going to say to him, that his whole family is dead?"
"I guess we're going to have to" Scott replied looking at me but I frowned since I knew how the fire and his family's death really affected Derek behind the 'I don't care' attitude he put off for everyone else and knew telling him would only hurt him again which I didn't want to do.
"Oh, good luck with that" Lydia said sarcastically.
"She's probably right, maybe we shouldn't" I replied looking up at Scott.
"At least until we figure out how to get him back to normal" Stiles added.
"We can't lie to him" Scott protested nodding at me.
"Okay I'll do it"
"No he's right, I don't think any of us can" I argued looking at Stiles. "Remember, he can hear our heartbeat rising" I sighed looking down. "When we find him, we tell him the truth"
"If he gets to the house first, you won't have to" Deaton replied, I nodded then we set out getting into Stiles' Jeep hoping to beat him there but on the way we overheard a police call on Stiles' radio about a teenager being brought in and knew straight away we we're already too late and Stiles turned around heading for the station instead.
When we got to the station, we ran straight in and saw Stiles' dad looking at young Derek then the computer screen then at Derek again so we were too late yet again, the Sherriff looked up when he saw us run in then he waved us to his office.
"I want you to be honest with me" the Sheriff said looking at Stiles before he looked around the room at me and Scott. "Absolutely and completely honest" we all nodded. "Have you been time travelling?" I stifled a laugh holding my hand over my mouth.
"Hang on, what?" Stiles asked just as appalled at his dad's accusation as I was.
"Because if time travelling is real, you know what I'm done, I'm out, you're going to be driving me to Eichen House"
"We found him like that" Scott argued making me groan because that wasn't going to help our situation.
"Where, swimming in the fountain of youth!?" the Sheriff exclaimed quietly.
"No, we found him buried in a tomb of wolfsbane in an Aztec Temple in Mexico underneath a church in the middle of a town that was destroyed by an earthquake" I closed my eyes and shook my head because there goes not worrying their parents since we'd lied about the trip to Mexico.
"You told me you were camping!" the Sheriff exclaimed again.
"Yeah we we're, in Mexico" Stiles replied trying to placate his father.
"Derek's been aged backwards, he can't remember anything" I cut in before the father and son started arguing because there was a much more important matter than our trip to Mexico without their parents' permission.
"We just need to talk to him" Stiles added.
"Yeah well so far he's not talking to anybody" the Sheriff argued.
"He'll talk to me" Scott replied looking at Derek through the windows so the Sheriff let him in and he sat down on the brown leather couch as the Sheriff gave us privacy.
"Hey Derek, you need to come with us" Scott said as soon as the Sheriff closed the door.
"Why would I go anywhere with you" Derek replied staring up at Scott but his eyes met mine briefly and I saw them pull together as he stared at me.
"There was an accident, you lost some memory but we can help you get it back" Scott said getting Derek's attention back on him.
"How much memory?" Derek asked him.
"A lot but you can trust us" Scott replied then bent down so that he was out of view of the Sheriff and Deputy's and I watched as he glowed his eyes looking up at Derek.
"You're an Alpha" Derek noted then looked up at me again. "Okay who are you and who's he, who are you?" he looked towards Stiles.
"Oh, where the one's keeping you out of jail" Stiles replied looking up.
"Let us help you" I spoke up for the first time and stepped forward.
"No" Derek mouthed leaning back in his seat.
"Okay dude, you almost tore apart two cops back there, you need to listen to us and that starts with no fangs, no claws, no wolfman, you got that?" Stiles protested dramatically.
"I'm fine as long as it's not on a full moon" Derek argued.
"You still have trouble with the full moon?" Scott asked sounding shocked.
"I said I'm fine" Derek snapped looking up at him.
"Alright, you coming with us or not?" Stiles cut in.
"You want me to trust you?" Derek asked looking at him before turning to me and Scott. "Where's my family?" I looked at Scott trying to think of the best way to answer that then sighed and looked back down towards Derek.
"There was a fire and… " I spoke up looking straight into his eyes but realised I couldn't do it, I couldn't tell him the truth. "They're not here anymore, they're fine, just had to move out of Beacon Hills and we're going to take you to them as soon as we figure out how to get your memories back" I added lying my ass off and saw Derek nod before exhaling.
"Okay" he finally agreed.
"I shouldn't have done that, I lied my ass off" I spoke up while we we're waiting for Derek to be let go.
"Hey your ass if fine you saved him a ton of unnecessary pain" Stiles replied and I sighed nodding but didn't feel any better about it. "We'll figure this out in a day or two he goes back to being old Derek, everybody's happy except Derek who's never happy unless he's in bed with you" I growled and hit the back on his head.
"It's just another person we're lying to and just that I always feel like it's better when we tell the truth with Lydia, my mom, Skye's dad, your dad" Scott cut in looking at us.
"But that is Derek Hale in there he may be a kid right now but he's still Derek Hale" Stile's replied.
"Alright take him to my house and don't let him out of your sight" Scott said looking at me.
"Not going to be a problem" I replied looking back at Derek and once again our eyes met but I looked away first because it killed me when I still saw no recognition or love in his eyes that I was so used to seeing when he looked at me.
"And where are you going?" Stile's asked him.
"I'm going to talk to the guy we should have gone to before" Scott replied and I knew exactly who he was talking about so I rolled my eyes because that seemed like a fool's errand because Peter was the last person we should be going to for help.
"Uh yeah I hate that guy" Stile's stated and we watched Scott leave.
"He's wasting his time Peter's useless" I added then hit him as Derek was walking up to us so we took him back to our place and it was definitely an awkward car ride especially when I felt Derek's gaze on the back of my head the whole way but I didn't dare look back once because I didn't know what the hell to do since he wasn't my Derek and if we couldn't find a way to change him back then I'd be lost.
"We're just going to wait here for Scott, we're going to sit quietly and we're not going to call or talk anyone" Stiles said as we let ourselves into Scott's place since Stiles had a key.
"Do I talk to you?" Derek asked him walking in behind us.
"No" Stile's replied.
"Good" Derek spat back making me smile just slightly .
"Fine" Stile's replied and I rolled my eyes at them because even when he was our age, Derek and Stiles couldn't get along.
"Who's going to talk to him?" Derek said suddenly pointing at Scott's dad who was standing in front of us with a take-out bag in his hand.
"Ah, are you getting taller?" Stiles asked looking at Agent McCall.
"What are you guys doing here?" he asked us and looking like he was looking for Scott behind us.
"Waiting for Scott" Derek replied before Stiles or I could.
"Yeah so am I, we're supposed to have dinner" Agent McCall replied gesturing to the food bag in his hand. "I brought extra, you kids hungry"
"Yeah" Derek replied again before Stiles or I could say no.
"No, we're not hungry" Stiles quickly argued.
"No I'm starving" Derek protested looking at us.
"None of us are hungry" Stiles argued again. "Thanks though"
"Okay well if you two aren't hungry, your friend can still eat with us, what's your name?"
"Miguel" Stiles replied before Derek could reply this time since the last thing we needed was for Agent McCall and Stiles gave him a silent 'what' confused as to why we had to conceal his true identity. "My cousin Miguel, from Mexico…" Agent McCall then said something in Spanish and I panicked briefly but Derek replied in almost perfect Spanish making me frown since I had no idea he could speak Spanish.
"Fantastic, egg roll?" Agent McCall asked looking at Derek.
"Hell yeah" Derek agreed then went and sat down and Stile's laughed nervously then we followed him this was going to next to one of the weirdest dinners I had ever sat through.
"So Miguel what did you say your last name was again?" Agent McCall asked halfway through eating the food and I tensed sitting straighter in my seat.
"Oh it's Juarez…Cinqua Tiago" Stiles said quickly before Derek could reply and added to our lie.
"That's a mouthful" Agent McCall replied then looked back up at Derek. "How do you spell that?" I frowned because he was suspicious and was trying to poke holes in our story, Derek shrugged looking at Stiles but then his eyes caught something on the table and when I followed his line of sight I cursed under my breathe.
"Mr McCall you're an FBI agent?"
"He's a low level, very low level" Stile's replied quickly. "He doesn't even have a voice"
"So do you investigate murders?" Derek asked my dad completely undeterred.
"Sometimes when it's a federal crime"
"What about fires?" I pretended to cough in hopes that would tell Derek to cut it out.
"Oh my god I wonder where Scott is, shouldn't Scott be here by now we should call Scott" Stile's said with his mouth still full and pulled out his phone.
"What kind of fires are you talking about?" Agent McCall asked Derek.
"Do you know anything about the Hale family?" Derek replied and I closed my eyes because seriously the suspicious look on McCall's face was not good considering he knew Derek and had arrested him.
Agent McCall seemed to pass of his own suspicion then went on to tell Derek everything I'd lied about while Stiles and I could do nothing but sit and let him before we excused ourselves upstairs and the first thing Derek did was slam Stiles face first into Scott's closed bedroom door.
"Derek don't!" I snapped stepping forward in case he lost control and really hurt Stiles. "Okay we didn't lie, we just omitted certain truths"
"Vital truths now that I think about it" Stile's added and Derek let him go.
"I don't want to talk to you I want to talk to the Alpha, I'll talk to Scott" Derek said and I was hurt because he'd rather talk to Scott than me when Derek used to trust me over Scott.
"Okay, I'm going to go get him" Stiles replied opening the door. "My phones downstairs going to call him real quick, you stay here just don't move okay, don't move" Stiles walked out but then spastically jumped into sight again. "Don't…I thought you" I rolled my eyes as he went downstairs leaving me alone with Derek.
"Who are you?" Derek suddenly asked confusing me as I looked back up at him. "Why do you smell like me?" I frowned because I hadn't thought of that, no wonder he's been giving me odd looks since the police station.
"That's complicated and it's probably easier to leave it to mystery until we can get your memories back"
"My mother told me about this once, she said mates share the same scent after completing the mating process" I frowned crossing my arms across my chest looking down at my feet.
"Just let it go Derek" I backed up sending him an apologetic look before I left the room because it was just too hard to look at him and see no recognition in his eyes but still feel the connection to be closer to him.
"Skye what are you doing, your meant to be watching Derek" Stiles said looking up when I came downstairs.
"I can't…I can't look at him" I replied fighting back my tears.
Derek's POV
I stared after the girl as she left because I sensed something about her, she was beautiful obviously but there was more to her, she seemed to be in pain every time she looked at me so I guessed she knew me and we'd been close but I didn't remember her at all, I sighed then sat down on the bed just as the door in front of me started creaking open and I watched as…Kate walked out.
"Kate" I asked confused she looked…different.
"Hey handsome" she replied walking towards me. "Been a long time" she smiled. "Longer then you think" I was confused but then I remembered the Alpha telling me I've lost memory. "I could really use your help, come with me" she nodded towards the window, I looked towards the door thinking about the girl…Skyler I think her name was but then nodded and followed her out the window.
Skyler's POV
He finally got through to Scott and he told us what Peter told him about Kate and why she would've done this to him, she took him back to the age when they we're together and he trusted her so we started walking upstairs.
"No he's in your bedroom, he'll be totally fine and to be honest I'm starting to miss the old Derek" I smiled at Stiles' words. "So if you actually think that Kate's coming to find him…" we walked in just as we saw Kate leaving out the window but she looked back at us and smiled before jumping down out of sight. "You might be right" Stiles said as I growled ready to take off after them because I was not letting Kate get her claws into him again. "No, no wait if you go after her you'll just get yourself killed"
"I can't just let him go with her" I shook of his arm.
"Skye we'll get him back but right now, we need help" he replied just as we both got a text from Scott telling us to meet him at the school which is where Peter thought they'd be heading, I growled angrily because it always seemed to be the bloody school.
Stiles and I quickly ran out to the jeep and he drove as fast as he dared to pick up Lydia and Kira on our way then we finally pulled up at the school but both Kira and I both heard Scott roar so we took off ahead of Stiles and saw Malia and Scott laying on the ground fighting some type of creature.
We jumped into the fight and tried to help fight them off but then Kira looked like she got cocky and ended up dooming us both because when I noticed her look back at Scott and the creature raise its bone knife thing, I ran in and tried to help her but we both got knocked to the ground next to Scott, I groaned as I held the heavily bleeding wound on my side.
I looked up when Derek came out of nowhere and started fighting them I wanted to scream at him not to but then something started to happen to him, he was turning back to his old self every time one of the creatures hit him, we heard a distant howl that wasn't any one of us so it must have been Kate calling them off and the creatures ran off so we all stood up and looked at Derek's back but I found myself itching forward.
"Derek?" I asked and he turned to us but his eyes were glowing gold which made me jerk back because that shocked and confused me since they were blue when he was a kid and somehow I didn't like it because I knew that it wasn't going to be a good thing especially for Derek since I knew what his blue eyes meant to him.
"Skyler" he said with his eyes fading back to his forest green, I could only stare and hold my side but then shook my head and ran into his arms holding him tightly because I'd honestly thought I'd lost him forever and these past two months have been hell on me.
"Oh god…I missed you so much, I love you…I love you" I cried out as he held me against him just letting me get it all out.
"Shh Skye, it's okay…I love you to" I nuzzled my head in his chest as everyone started leaving relived that Derek was okay but Derek and I just stood here holding each other reveling in the fact that he was back and he remembered but I knew our troubles we're far from over.
