Skye's POV
"They're coming back, we don't have much time to talk" Deaton said as he rapidly tried to clean and dress Scott's wound.
"What is that?" Scott asked as Deaton took a bottle and poured some liquid onto a cotton ball.
"Rubbing alcohol you don't want it to get infected do you?" Deaton began to pat the wound and Scott winced at the sting. "You'll heal the same, just not as quickly because of Derek"
"Okay, how do you know all this?" I asked the vet since I was completely confused on how he knew that Scott would heal. "Actually...how...how do you know anything?"
"It's a long story" he replied putting a bandage over Scott's wound. "What I can tell you is that I know about Scott's kind, you're kind I can help….this-" he turned to the body on the examination table. "This is something different"
"Wha...well do you know what did it?" Scott asked.
"No but the Argents will and this is the crucial part they'll have some kind of record or book it'll have descriptions, histories, notations of all the things they've discovered" I frowned thinking about this.
"All the things?" Scott asked looking at me for confirmation. "How many different things are there?"
"You'd be surprised Scott" I replied nodding at him.
The sound of a car stopping on the gravel outside made us all turn to the door as the bell on the door chimed as it was opened and we heard footsteps coming closer so Scott and I hurried into the supply closet to hide, just as Chris and Gerard Argent entered the room.
"I'm starting to think I need to buy a more prominent 'closed' sign" Deaton told them.
"Hello Alan" I heard the familiar voice of Gerard Argent making my frown. "It's been a while the last I heard, you had retired"
"Last I heard, you followed a code of conduct"
"If you hadn't noticed, this body is one of ours" Chris cut in.
"I did, I also noticed the gun powder residue on his fingertips so don't assume I'll be swayed by your philosophy just cause I'll answer a few questions" Deaton replied.
"He was only 24"
"Killers, come in all ages"
"All ages, sizes, shapes" Gerard added and I gulped and looked at Scott who caught my eye with a look of worry himself. "It's the last one that concerns us"
"How about you tell us what you found?" Chris asked moving the conversation onto the pressing matter at hand.
"See this cut?" Scott and I heard Deaton ask. "Precise almost surgical but this isn't the wound that killed him this had a more...interesting purpose"
"Relating to the spine?" Gerard asked him or more like pointed it out.
"That's right whatever made this cut was laced with a paralytic toxin potent enough to disable all motor functions, these are the cause of death notice the patterns on either side"
"Five for each finger" Chris replied.
"Each claw" Gerard corrected.
"As you can see" Deaton started. "It dug in, slashed upward, eviscerating the lungs and slicing through the bone of the rib cage with ease" I looked over at Scott again but this time with a scared expression on my face because I didn't like the sound of that.
"Have you ever seen anything like this before?" Chris asked.
"No"
"Any idea at all what killed him?"
"No but I can tell you it's fast, remarkably strong and has the capacity the render its victims essentially helpless within seconds"
"If you're saying we should be cautious, we get it"
"I'm saying you should be afraid, be very afraid because in the natural world predators with paralytic toxins use them to catch and eat their prey…this prey wasn't eaten that means whatever killed him only wanted to kill him, in fact killing may be its only purpose"
"Thank you, Alan, we'll take it from here" Gerard said before we heard more footsteps entre the room before they disappeared with Chris and Gerard following them, I looked up at Scott and we waited until he nodded after he heard the cars pull away before we walked out of the supply closet back into the exam room.
"I'm sorry you two had to hear that" Deaton said when he looked up at us. "You better let me take a look at that" he nodded to me so I knew he was talking about the cut on my cheek.
"It's fine" he shook his head then grabbed my hand leading me towards him and he got to work cleaning it out making me wince at the sting of the antiseptic.
"It doesn't need stitches" Deaton pointed out then closed it with a bit of tape to help it close.
"So whatever killed that guy, is gonna kill again?" Scott asked him as he finished up with my cheek.
"I'm afraid so"
"How will we know who's next?" I asked them.
"We don't" Deaton replied and I frowned before Scott and I walked out with me heading over to my bike.
"Are you really going back there?" Scott asked stopping me.
"I don't have much of a choice, it's my home" he frowned shaking his head.
"Skye don't go back there, he hurt you"
"He didn't mean to Scott, he was in fight mode and I shouldn't have intervened like I did, I should have talked him out of it instead of grabbing his arm, I knew better" I started my bike.
"Skye I just don't want to see you get hurt"
"Derek can't purposely hurt me" I replied then pulled on my helmet and drove off before he could protest, I pulled up in my usual spot beside the Camaro hidden from prying eyes and hesitated before hopping off my bike and heading inside.
I wasn't afraid of Derek because I knew he hadn't intentionally hurt me and my reaction in the ice rink was instinctive but it still didn't mean I wasn't nervous about his reaction seeing as I came back despite him hurting me, I walked down the stairs confused by how dark it was given it wasn't that late but managed to find my way to the bottom of the stairs.
"Derek, Isaac?" I looked around but could barely see a thing in front of me so I felt my way to one of the camping lamps and turned it on jumping when I saw Derek sitting on some crates with his head in his hands. "You scared the hell out of me, where is everyone?"
"Erica is at home, Isaac went to stay with Boyd at his place" he replied without looking up.
"Is that safe for him?"
"They'll look out for each other and if Boyd's parents check on him Isaac will hide" I nodded not liking that he wasn't looking up at all.
"Derek look at me" he shook his head so I walked over and knelt down in front of him and grabbed his hands pulling them away from his face. "Look at me, I'm okay" his eyes slowly opened and I watched as he frowned at the cut under my eyes. "It's just a scratch and won't even scar"
"A scratch from me Skyler" he snapped moving my hands and stood up walking away from me.
"Derek stop, it's okay I'm-"
"Don't say your fine Skye" he yelled making me flinch in surprise. "An inch higher and I could have blinded you or worse"
"Stop it!" I yelled right back at him. "This is just as much my fault as it is yours Derek, I shouldn't have grabbed you like I did, you we're on alert and reacted like any predator would have, this is my fault not yours" he shook his head. "Derek listen to me, I don't care okay because I love you"
"Skye" he sighed loudly turning away from me again.
"Do you love me?" I asked him to get a reaction out of him.
"Of course I do but I can't forgive myself for hurting you, I promised you that I'd never hurt you and I've gone and done just that" I shook my head walking up to him and grabbed his hands.
"You haven't hurt me Derek since the only way you can hurt me is by leaving me, other than that I don't have anything else to worry about because I love you Derek Hale and no matter what you do that'll never change"
"Skye please don't make this okay"
"It's not okay and I intend to hold a grudge over it but I forgive you Derek, I'm asking you to forgive yourself" he sighed shaking his head so I cupped his cheeks. "Forgive yourself Derek please" I pressed my lips to his and he didn't respond until I licked his lower lip asking for entrance. "Please baby, I'm okay" he frowned but finally responded kissing me back and pressed my back against the train car.
(XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)
"Skye" he grabbed both my thighs and lifted me so I had to wrap my arms and legs around him, our tongues battled for dominance as his hands slid up underneath my top over my bra clip.
"It's okay, I love you, I trust you" I crooned as he looked back hesitant then pulled his lips to meet mine again as I felt his hands work on the clasp getting it undone then I helped him pulled the straps off and slid my bra off from underneath my shirt.
"Are you sure about this, about me?" he asked hesitant still.
"Yes, your everything I want for my first time Derek" I grabbed the hem of his shirt and with his help pulled it over his head before I attached my lips to the skin off his neck as he carried me into our train car.
He laid me down on the mattress and hovered over me as he grabbed my shirt and pulled it over my head before he gazed down at me taking in my very small stature but I didn't try to hide because I trusted him.
"Your so beautiful" he kissed my lips once before trailing them down my neck stopping at my collarbone and kissed my arrow tattoo making me smiled because I doubt he even knew I had a tattoo. "Not so innocent huh?" I rolled my eyes but smiled again as I pulled his lips back up to meet mine as my hands slid down his chest before reaching the waistline of his jeans and hooked my fingers into it pulling his waist to meet mine and heard a satisfactory moan slip past his lips. "Do not do that"
I smirked and did again earning myself another deep growl before he grabbed my hands to stop me, I whined in displeasure but he started kissing down my chest making me forget what I'd been doing and arched my back as he kissed just about every part of my upper body before he reached the waistline of my jeans.
"I love you Skye" I smiled down at him through heavy hooded eyes as he undid the button and drew the fly of my jeans before slowing sliding them down my legs leaving me in just my white lace underwear. "Mm I think lace is my favorite on you" I rolled my eyes but again forgot all about everything except his lips which started trailing kisses up my thighs, over my stomach then back up my neck before he kissed my lips again.
I grabbed the front of his jeans and hastily started undoing them because this slow pace was turning torturous for me, he didn't protest me getting his jeans off but when I went for his briefs he grabbed my hands and stilled them beside my head.
"Slow down Skye, we have all night" I shook my head.
"I need you now" he smirked running his hand everywhere across my skin except the one place I needed him. "Please" I begged not caring how desperate I sounded because I'd waited long enough for this and my patience was wearing thin.
"Tell me where?" I blushed turning my face away from him. "If we're going into a sexual relationship I need you to be comfortable to talk about it" I frowned at him treating me like some needy kid but right now I needed him too much to be offended.
"Right here" I grabbed his hand and directed him to my center above my underwear, he smiled nodding his head as he slipped in into my panties and I flinched in surprise when he rubbed it over me. "Oh my god" I moaned arching my back especially when he dipped a finger inside me.
"Before we get too far we need to talk-"
"I don't wanna talk" I protested breathlessly and heard him laugh.
"We do about this, are you on…birth control or do I need to start investing in boxes upon boxes of condoms?" I blushed nervous about this topic.
"Your good and can save money, I've been on birth control since I was fifteen" he nodded then started kissing my neck again making any cholent thoughts impossible with the feel of his lips against my neck and what his hand was currently doing. "Ah!" I moaned flinching when he hit a practically sensitive spot. "Oh god" I felt something building in the pit of my stomach and it didn't take long for it to snap like a rubber band as I moaned loudly and stilled breathing heavily as I looked up at Derek as he moved his hand out and grabbed the sides of my panties and slid them down along with his own boxers following after.
"Okay Skye, if this hurts too badly your going to tell me okay" I nodded my head because I couldn't form any words right now, he hovered over me kissing me a few times before sighing loudly and positioned himself at my entrance before he pushed himself in and I cried out in pain as he broke through my virginity. "I'm sorry" he wiped a single tear that slipped out.
"It's okay" I held onto his arms as he let me get accustomed to him. "I'm okay now" he looked up then kissed my forehead and pushed in a little more and I tried hard to keep the pain off my face as he fully sheathed himself inside me.
"You okay?" I nodded my head wrapping one arm around his shoulders. "Skye look at me" he cupped one of my cheeks and lifted my eyes to meet his. "Do you want to stop?" I shook my head.
"It's okay" he frowned but nodded bringing his lips to meet mine in a slow, deep passionate kiss before he slowly started moving out, I winced a little but nodded for him to keep going and although I sensed his reluctance he continued and after a little but it started becoming a little bit better and not as painful.
"Skye talk to me"
"I'm okay, it's better don't stop" I replied giving him a genuine smile as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders again to bring his lips back to mine. "Mm…yes" I moaned feeling him hit that sensitive spot again every time he thrusted in and felt that familiar building sensation.
"I love you" Derek whispered against my lips slowing down a little.
"No don't stop" he smiled dropping his head to my neck placing a few gentle kisses before he picked up pace again holding himself above me gripping the mattress above my head and I heard a tearing sound before he ceased all movement panting for breathe. "Skye I can't" I opened my eyes and saw two glowing red one's above me along with four fangs sticking out of his mouth.
"Shh it's okay, I'm here just focus on me, on my voice" I grabbed his hands entwining our fingers feeling the claws but didn't care. "Focus on the sound of my heart Derek and know that it beats for you" he slowly started his steady pace again and I watched the fangs retract. "That's it focus on me, it's just us" he let go of one of my hands and brushed it over my cheek the one with the cut. "I love you Der" I felt myself building again as he continued the fast but steady pace until I felt it release again and I bit back the moan this time but Derek didn't seem to be far behind me and he jerked his hips a few times before falling still above me.
We laid there still connected as we both panted for breath until he pulled out and I winced just a little bit as he laid beside me then pulled the sheets over us as I got settled against his side cuddling into him.
"Your amazing you know that right?" I looked up at him with a smile.
"So I've been told" he brushed his hand over my forehead before placing a gentle kiss to it as I laid against his shoulder.
"I almost lost it there Skye but you pulled me back" I smiled as I nuzzled my head against his chest drawing lazy circles. "I love you so much"
"Mm I love you too" I mumbled feeling exhausted after all that and he must have heard the sudden tiredness in my voice because he chuckled quietly and I felt it vibrate through his chest.
"Get some sleep, your endurance is a lot less than mine" if I could've rolled my eyes I would have but my mind was shutting down on me.
"Goo…night" I managed to mumble before I was out cold.
(XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)
The next morning I woke up to an empty bed but couldn't wipe the smile of my face as I sat up holding the sheet to my chest then saw one of Derek's shirts so I grabbed it and pulled it on before standing up and grabbed some underwear along with some shorts pulling them on before I walked out of the train car and saw Derek throw Isaac down.
I noticed Boyd sitting on the stairs but before I could ask what the hell they we're doing Erica jumped down from the top of the train car but Derek easily counted her move throwing her down next to Isaac.
"Does anyone want to try not being completely predictable?" I smirked running at Derek as his back was turned and when he spun hearing me I jumped up and crashed our lips together kissing him until I jumped down and smirked at him.
"How was that for unpredictable?" he rolled his eyes at me and I saw Erica trying to hide her smile.
"Don't do that" Derek scolded but his small twitch of lip betrayed him.
"Are we done?" Isaac asked getting our attention. "Cause I got about 100 bones that need a few hours to heal" Derek seemed to be sympathetic and kneeled beside Isaac taking his arm but suddenly bent it back and even I heard bone breaking making me flinch and look away.
"101" Derek growled out. "You think I'm teaching you how to fight, huh look at me!" I watched Erica and Boyd flinch at the power in Derek's voice. "I'm teaching you how to survive!"
"Derek enough!" I snapped not able to stand by and let him hurt Isaac anymore, Derek threw Isaac's arm away before standing up and walking towards me.
"If they wanted us dead, why aren't they coming for us now?" Isaac asked groaning in pain as he cradled his arm. "What are they waiting for?"
"I don't know" Derek replied looking at him. "But they're planning something and you especially know that's not our only problem" I frowned looking at Derek confused. "Whatever that thing that killed Isaac's father, I think it killed someone else last night and until I find out what it is, you all need to learn everything that I know, as fast as I can teach you" he grabbed my hand then led me back into our train car.
"Do I want to know what all that was about?"
"Pack training" he replied pulling me into his arms.
"You know it hurts a girls ego when her boyfriend leaves her after what we'd done last night" he smiled kissing the top of my head.
"I was going to wake you to see if you wanted to watch but you looked way too peaceful"
"Watch?" I leaned back to look him in the eyes. "I can help you know, teach them how to defend themselves from hunters especially arrows"
"Skye I don't think that's a good idea, they're all still new and unpredictable and if one of them got angry enough they could really hurt you" I glared at him because I really didn't want to be treated like a porcelain doll.
"I know how to defend myself against werewolves" he shook his head cupping my cheeks bushing his thumb gently over the cut under my eye, I sighed grabbing his hand moving it away from my face and shook my head at him. "Are you going to let that go?"
"No probably not" I rolled my eyes at him but he smiled grabbing my sides and running his hands up underneath the top I was wearing.
"Derek, stop!" I grabbed his hands stopping him looking out at where the others we're hanging out talking. "Not in front of the others" he didn't give up and his lips dropped to my neck. "Derek I'm serious, I have to shower and get dressed for school I'm probably already running late since you let me sleep in" he sighed stepping back.
"I really hate it when you be the responsible one" I laughed shaking my head.
"Arent you supposed to be the grown up here?" he pouted.
"Not when my girlfriend is such a vixen" I rolled my eyes as I stepped back from him.
"I thought I was the insatiable one" I replied moving over to my bag to grab some clothes but was running low on clean clothes and really needed to find a laundromat soon.
"I've had a taste of you now and don't think I'll ever tire out" I blushed hiding my face as I thought about the three werewolves just outside our train car.
"Derek!" he laughed coming up behind me and started kissing my neck.
"What, your beautiful can you blame me" I shook my head again turning around after finding some jeans and simple t-shirt to change into.
"I have to go okay" he sighed nodding reluctantly. "But we are going to talk more about me helping you train the others, I know you don't want me to get hurt but if I can help then shouldn't I?" he sighed avoiding my eyes.
"Skye-?"
"Just think about it okay, I can't go back to being defenseless Derek, I'm a hunter and I can't change that so at least I can put the skills that have been drilled into my head since I was ten to good use and helping them learn how to catch an arrow or defend themselves against the Argents it might help me atone for all the bad things I did when my…he was alive" Derek frowned as he looked up at me.
"You don't need to atone for anything Skye, you did nothing wrong" I sighed because I knew this wasn't going to get anywhere.
"We'll talk later, I really have to go I'm late for school" I walked out leaving him alone to think about my offer and noticed the Erica and Boyd had already left and Isaac was back into his train car probably playing on the Gameboy I gave him, I had the quickest shower I'd ever taken and changed before grabbing my backpack and helmet heading for the stairs. "See you boys later"
At school later I saw Allison sitting outside at lunch so I decided to join her since we haven't spent much time together especially with Scott and me not being on the best terms but Ally was my friend first.
"Hey Ally, can I sit?" she looked up and nodded so I sat beside her just as Stiles run up to us.
"Does either of your families own a bestiary?" I furrowed my brows as I thought about whether I'd seen my dad with anything like that.
"I think you mean-" Allison replied
"No I mean bestiary" Stiles cut her off. "And the two of you, I don't want to know what's going on in your heads" Stiles added obviously talking about Scott and Allison since I'd noticed Stiles had been running back and forth between them all day probably delivering love notes since they couldn't be seen talking with Gerard as principal and spy.
"Okay, can you describe this thing?" Allison asked him.
"It's probably like a book, old, worn-"
"Like bound in leather?" Allison interrupted him seeing lost in thought.
"Yeah!" Stiles exclaimed excited.
"I've seen Gerard with a book like that" Stiles nodded then ran off, I shook my head then turned to Allison.
"So how's that going, at home with Gerard?"
"I don't really remember him and don't see him much around the house" I nodded my head just as Stiles run back up to us panting for breathe.
"Where…does he…keep…it?"
"It's got to be in his office" Allison replied so he ran off again and I laughed rolling my eyes.
"He's not very smart running around like this, if I was him I would have just called Scott while I was sitting with you rather than running around making a scene"
"We should probably tell him that" Allison laughed as I watched Stiles run back out towards us.
"Or we just let him continue like this" he ran up to the table and took a puff of an inhaler.
"You know drug dealers have been using disposable cell phones pretty successfully for years" Stiles spoke up after getting his breath back.
"My parents check every call, email and text message I send, trust me they'd find it" Allison replied shaking her head.
"All right, can you get the book?" Stiles asked her.
"Not without his keys"
"Are we seriously doing this, stealing Gerard's keys?" I asked because it was as close to suicide as I ever wanted to be. "That's certifiably insane"
"How's that insane?" Stiles asked making me look up at him.
"I've seen him literally cut a werewolf in half so trust me when I saw stealing a piece of candy from the man would be nuts"
"So how are we going to do this?" he asked us anyway making me roll my eyes.
"What about at the game?" Allison asked making me look at her confused. "He's coming tonight, I'll sit with him and grab his keys then Stiles you can grab them and run into his office to find it"
"Wait why me?" Stiles protested.
"Because you're the best equipped and if he found you at least you can talk your way out of it" I replied smirking up at him.
"How is that logical?" he exclaimed throwing his hands out dramatically.
"Fine I'll look with you, you big baby" I sighed shaking my head.
"Fine" he sighed and started walking off, I looked at Allison and we shared a laugh before the bell rang and we stood up to head to class but I had to tell Derek.
"I'll catch up" she hesitated but then nodded and went inside so I pulled out my phone and dialed Derek's number.
"Hello"
"Hey babe, I'm calling to tell you somethings come up and I'm going to watch the lacrosse game tonight so I'll be home late"
"What came up, I was hoping for more alone time tonight, Erica and Boyd wont be here tonight and Isaac was going to find something to do" I smiled shaking my head at his whine.
"I'll be home as soon as I can but this is important and might even help us figure out what the hell killed Isaac's dad" I replied walking towards my locker.
"What are you up to Skye?"
"Stiles has a plan okay just trust me"
"The words 'Stiles' and 'plan' never belong in the same sentence, what are you two doing?" I sighed.
"Okay we're getting some kind of book from Gerard that has all the creatures the Argents have ever hunted and getting this book is going to finally tell us what we're after"
"Why don't I like that plan?" I chuckled.
"Because it's suicide I know but we have to try and I promise I'll be careful okay"
"How your weaponless?" I frowned shaking my head.
"Not completely, I still have a Glock in my locker" I replied then double checked it was still there and smiled seeing the Captain America lunch box that I hid my weapons in. "With wolfsbane bullets" I added seeing the small amount of ammo along with it.
"I don't like this Skye" he replied sounding worried.
"I'll be fine, Scott will be within hearing range if anything happens and I also have my own combat skills in how to kick ass so you got trust me that I can handle this Der-" I cut myself off before saying his name just in case Gerard was snooping. "I got to go okay but I'll be back as soon as we get the book okay and the rest of the night is all yours" he sighed and I imagined him running his hand through his hair like he always did when he was worried or frustrated.
"Please be safe Skye"
"I will babe I promise" I hung up then quickly headed to class already being late.
By the end of school I put away all my books and looked at the gun hesitating but then looked around nervously before grabbing it clipping a round in then tucked it into the waistline of my jeans pulling my shirt back over to cover it then closed my locker but jumped coming face to face with Erica.
"Oh my…Erica a little warning would be nice" jeez now I know how Stiles feels every time I've scared the crap out of him. "What are you guys…" I narrowed my eyes at them. "He told you to come tonight didn't he, to keep an eye on me" they didn't reply but they didn't need to because it is exactly what he would bloody do. "You two realize that Gerard is here and if he feels like it he'll kill you"
"We know but what Derek says goes" Boyd shrugged.
"I don't need his protection, I can take care of myself so you guys better go" I turned and headed towards the lacrosse fields but heard them start following me so I spun. "Stop, you two really need to go"
"We can't Skye, it was an Alpha order from Derek" Erica replied making me groan.
"He is so dead when I get home" I muttered seeing Erica smirk before I turned and headed towards the field again with my two prison guards.
We sat on the top row of the bleachers and I saw Gerard and Allison sit almost right in front of us making me a little nervous at the closeness of Gerard to Erica and Boyd but the old man didn't even spare a glance our way so that had me hoping that they weren't on the Argent's radar just yet as newly turned werewolves.
The game started and Beacon Hills was getting pummeled by the other team all thanks to one player being a freak of nature on the field nearly injuring everyone he knocked over for the ball but my attention kept drifting to Allison and Gerard especially when he put his coat around her making me smile a little since the plan was going according to plan for now.
The crowd winced as two more of our players got taken out by the freak but again my attention went towards Stiles as he walked past Allison grabbing Gerard's keys off her discreetly then looked up at me, I nodded signaling with my head that he go and I'd catch up as I started thinking up ways to ditch Erica and Boyd.
"You, you play lacrosse?" I heard the coach say making me look up and see he was pointing straight at Boyd, he looked at me and Erica before going to stand up but Erica and I both grabbed him.
"Uh-uh, Derek won't like this" Erica and I said at the exact same time.
"Yeah but I will" Boyd argued then stood up and took off his leather jacket.
"Yeah, oh, ho, ho, ho we got ourselves a player!" coach exclaimed before Boyd went down and found himself some gear before joining the team on the field just as I got a text from Stiles.
Could really use your help Skye! – Stiles, I frowned pocketing it.
"I'll be right back just going to the bathroom" I stood up.
"I'll come" I shook my head at Erica.
"No stay here and keep an eye on Boyd, I'll be quick I swear" I pushed my way down the bleacher then ran towards the school office walking in to see Stiles looking through the drawers of Gerard's desk. "Any luck?" I asked making him jump.
"Jesus Skye" I rolled my eyes before I started helping him look but we couldn't find it anywhere.
"There's no book" I exclaimed quietly watching him pull out his phone to text Allison but then Erica came out of nowhere startling both Stiles and I this time.
"Hello Stiles" she smiled looking at Stiles. "Longest bathroom break ever Skye" I frowned avoiding her eyes because I hadn't wanted to lie to her but I knew she'd relay everything to Derek and some things he just did not need to know.
"Erica just wait!" I exclaimed when she grabbed Stiles and started dragging him away making me quickly follow, I followed her as she dragged Stiles with her into the pools and I glared when I saw Derek standing there holding a basketball in his hand as casually as ever.
"Stiles" Derek greeted nodding at Stiles and completely avoided eye contact with me but could probably sense I was pissed at him.
"Derek" Stiles replied nodding back at him.
"What did you see at the mechanic's garage?" I frowned confused at what the hell he was talking about but then remembered him mentioning the creature had killed another person last night, I turned to Stiles now a little intrigued myself since he must have been there and saw something for Derek to be asking him.
"Uh…several alarming EPA violations that I'm serious considering reporting" I rolled my eyes at Stiles' reply as Erica chuckled and Derek smiled then used his claws to puncture the basketball in his hands deflating it. "Holy god!" Stiles muttered before Derek threw the now deflated ball at Stiles' feet.
"Let's try that again"
"Seriously Derek" I scolded and he looked at me for the first time and didn't look happy with me at all but I could care less. "Oh don't give me that look" I crossed my arms over my chest as Stiles sighed.
"Alright the thing was pretty slick looking, skin was dark kind of patterned, I think I actually saw scales, is that enough?" I frowned trying to rack my head with ideas off those descriptors but nothing came to mind. "Okay cause I have somebody I really need to talk to" Derek didn't look to impressed with them either making Stiles groan. "Alright fine, eyes, eyes are yellowish and slitted, it has a lot of teeth, oh and it's got a tail too" I saw Derek's eyes look up so I turned my head following his gaze and saw the thing Stiles had been describing so I started backing up towards Derek. "Are we good?"
"Stiles" I started trying to get his attention without never looking away from the thing creeping up behind him.
"What, what have you seen it, you all have this look in your faces like you know exactly what I'm talking about" the thing above him started hissing and he turned to look up at it before it growled making him jump beside me.
It jumped down from the second in front of us and Derek growled bending down into a protective stance in front of me as the creature used its tail to send Erica flying into the wall knocking her unconscious straight away.
"Run!" Derek yelled turning to push me and Stiles away but I saw the creature lift a clawed hand before backing right off as Derek looked around for it confused.
"Derek your neck!" I exclaimed rushing towards him as he touched the back of his neck where a saw cut was already beginning to heal, I caught him as he started to fall. "Stiles help me!" we each grabbed his arms putting them over our shoulders and we started running for an exit.
"Where is it, can you see it?" Stiles asked.
"No just hurry" Derek and I both protested with him.
"Call Scott!" Derek added and Stiles reached for his phone but it fell out of his hands and he immediately dove to get it letting go off Derek and he was too heavy for just me to keep up so I could only watch as he fell towards the pool. "Stiles, you son of a…" Derek was cut off as he broke the water's surface and started sinking to the bottom, I wasted no time shedding my leather jacket and gun before jumping into the pool trying to get him back to the surface.
Stiles must of dove in after me and together we managed to get Derek above water but he was still paralyzed and he was pretty much dead weight for both of us, we coughed and spluttered as we got air then started looking around for the creature.
"Where'd it go?" Stiles asked looking around as we put Derek's arms around our shoulders treading water. "Where is it, do you see it?"
"No" Derek replied.
"Okay maybe it took off" I said looking around myself but a loud screech proved otherwise.
"Maybe not" Derek replied looking at me.
"Just great" I muttered and continued trying to hold up Derek's weight. "Seriously no more pizza for you" I stated to lighten the mood but Derek was less than amused.
"Will you two get me out of here before I drown" I looked over and glared at him.
"You're worried about drowning!?" Stiles spat at him "Did you notice the thing out there with multiple rows of razor sharp teeth?" it was getting really hard to hold up Derek's weight and I could barely keep my own head above water.
"Did you notice that I'm paralyzed from the neck down in eight feet of water?!" Derek exclaimed.
"Derek stop and it's only seven feet don't dramatize it" I replied trying to look around again and tread water so we didn't all drown. "Okay I don't see it" I nodded to Stiles and we started swimming to the edge
"Wait, wait, wait, stop, stop" Derek suddenly yelled stopping us and we followed his gaze seeing the creature stalking towards the pool.
"What's it waiting for?" Stiles asked.
"Sure Stiles cause we know the answer to that!" I spat back at him just as the creature continued to roam around the edge of the pool but then it suddenly made a move towards the edge and touched the top of the water but flinched back as if the water burnt it.
"Wait did you see that, I don't think he can swim"
"That's for pointing that out captain obvious" I sighed nearly falling below the water being beyond tired now as it felt like we'd been in the pool for hours treading water. "Okay, okay, I don't think I can do this much longer"
"Agreed" Stiles muttered as we looked around for something to help but I saw Stiles look towards his phone.
"No, no, no, no don't even think about it" Derek yelled at him seeing where his eyes had ventured as well.
"Could you just trust me, just this once?" Stiles asked him.
"No!" Derek exclaimed then looked over at me. "Skye's exhausted she wont be able to hold me up on her own"
"Gee thanks" I muttered slightly offended by his lack of confidence in me.
"Were the ones keeping you alive okay, have you noticed that?" Stiles asked him.
"Yeah and when the paralyses wears off, who's gonna be able to fight that thing, you or me?" Derek replied barely with his head above the water.
"That's why we've been holding you up the past two hours" Stiles answered him.
"Yup" Derek said looking at Stiles. "You don't trust me, I don't trust you but you need me to survive which is why you're not letting me go" they stared at each other for a second then Stiles looked at me, I nodded and he threw Derek's arm off his shoulders and I couldn't hold Derek's weight by myself so he sunk but managed to yell out Stile's name.
Stiles started swimming to the edge for his phone so I quickly dived down and tried to drag Derek back to the top just barely getting him up as Stiles quickly helped the last few meters having gotten his phone and called Scott.
"Please tell me you got him?" I asked as I coughed the water out of my throat but the look he gave me said it all. "I'm going to kill him" I was beyond exhausted by now having had to haul Derek to the surface and knew Stiles was as well. "We can't stay up any longer, we need something to hold onto" Stiles looked around then noticed the diving podiums, I nodded and he started swimming backwards towards it as I held Derek's head above the water.
He tried to grab onto it but his hand slipped and we sunk into the water but suddenly a hand shot in and grabbed Derek and Stiles yanking them out of the water then returned for me and when I was pulled up I noticed it was Scott, he set me down next to Derek and I coughed the water out of my lungs feeling a hand pat my back helping me, I looked over and saw Derek had gotten some of his movement back.
I looked up seeing Scott had started fighting it but he creature threw Scott into a mirror and it shattered as Scott fell to the ground but he quickly recovered and picked up a shard of glass as a weapon but the creature seemed to lose interest in fighting and stared at the glass, at its reflection with confusion and my eyes widened when I realised my dad had told me about a creature like this, it suddenly screeched and climbed the wall before jumping out of the skylight window.
Derek recovered and we stood going to over to Erica and I gently shook her carefully in attempt to wake her up and she did jerking upward to which Derek pulled me away in case she was defensive but she looked over at us.
"What happened?" she looked at us. "Why are you two wet?"
"Long story, let's get out of here" she nodded then stood up, I sighed walking over and picked up my jacket pulling it on as I shivered given it was winter and now being wet I was freezing. "Jesus my hands are freezing" I complained as we walked out heading into the carpark.
"Come here" Derek grabbed my hands holding them in both of his and breathed hot air over them making me smile at the cliché move but it was sweet and worked a little.
"I think I know what this is" I spoke up looking up at him. "It's a-"
"Kanima, I know" my eyes widened in shock. "Your not the only one with supernatural beast knowledge" I smiled rolling my eyes then looked over towards Scott and Stiles who we're standing next to Scott's car hovered over a computer looking at the Bestiary which had actually been a flash drive and not a book.
"We should probably fill the Bozo's in?" he nodded so we walked towards them with Erica beside us.
"…to figure out what this thing is?"
"It's called a Kanima" Derek and I replied at the same time interrupting Scott.
"You knew the whole time" Stiles spoke up glaring at me, I rolled my eyes shaking my head.
"No, only when it was confused by its own reflection" I replied looking at Scott.
"It doesn't know what it is" he nodded.
"Or who" Derek added.
"What else do you two know?" Stiles asked us.
"Just stories" Derek replied shaking his head then looked down at me. "Rumors"
"Same here, my father only mentioned the Kanima to me once when we lived in Boston a few years ago since that was what he'd been hunting back then" Derek frowned pulling me close with an arm wrapped around my waist knowing I had trouble talking about my dad.
"But it's like us?" Scott asked looking at Derek.
"It's a shapeshifter yes but it's not right, it's like a-"
"An abomination" Stiles filled in cutting Derek off and he nodded at Stiles to say he'd got it right then turned to leave with me still wrapped up in his arms drawing off his heat to warm my shaking cold body.
"Derek!" Scott yelled stopping our leave. "We need to work together on this, maybe even tell the Argents" I rolled my eyes.
"You trust them?" Derek snapped angrily.
"Nobody trusts anybody, that's the problem while we're here arguing about who's on what side there's something scarier, stronger and faster than any of us and it's killing people and we still don't even know anything about it!" Scott exclaimed.
"I know one thing" Derek replied grabbing my hand instead of my waist. "When I find it…" he turned and started walking away dragging me with him and Erica close behind us. "I'm going to kill it" I frowned looking up at him but stayed silent as he led me over to the Camaro.
"Wait my bike?" I turned and saw it still sitting in the parking lot.
"Leave it" Derek insisted urging me forward.
"I can't just leave it Derek" I sighed reaching into my jacket pocket for my keys then looked at Erica and her eyes widened as I held them out towards her.
"You trust me"
"This one isn't going to let me out of his sight and I trust you with my baby" she reached for the keys but I quickly snatched them back. "Don't scratch her" she nodded her head with a small smile. "My helmet is in my locker the combin-"
"I know it" she replied cutting me off. "I've watched you put it in" I nodded laughing a little.
"Thanks Erica" she walked away leaving me with Derek and now that we we're finally alone I stood on my tippy toes wrapping my arms around his shoulders. "That was a close one" he nodded into my neck.
"Come on your freezing" he led me over to the Camaro opening the car door for me and I slid in letting him close it before he rushed around to the drivers side getting in and started it immediately turning on the heat for me.
"Hm that feels better" I smiled holding my hands over the vents as he started driving.
"It's warmer over here to" he replied looking over at me with a smile, I smiled back and moved as far over in my seat as I could towards him and grabbed a hold of his arm that was changing gears.
"You must love not feeling cold for long" he laughed looking down at me with another smile before looking back towards the road, I laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. "Your always warm"
"Probably a werewolf thing" he replied as I nuzzled his shoulder.
"Definite benefits to dating one then" I laughed lazily feeling like I was about to crash any minute.
"Glad to be of service" I rolled my eyes underneath my eyelids and heard him laugh.
"So I guess this night wasn't exactly what you imagined earlier"
"No definitely not but this moment is nice" I heard the car stop and he laid his head a top of mine.
"Mmhm" I mumbled nodding my head just slightly.
"Can you walk inside or do I have to carry you?" I didn't reply and snuggled closer to him. "Skye?" I looked up lazily with a small glare for him ruining the moment. "Okay" he laid his head a top of mine again and we enjoyed the small peace and quiet until the rumble of my bike pulled up beside the Camaro making me look up and see Erica getting off it, I sighed then got out.
"Skye this thing is awesome, I want one" I laughed grabbing the helmet off her and she held it out to me.
"Don't get too used to it, I usually don't let anyone else ride it"
"I can't get my license anyway" she pouted and I nodded knowing that her epilepsy has kept her from getting her license since you usually have to be seizure free for a year before she'd be allowed to get it.
"You can now" I pointed out as Derek walked up behind me and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"You should probably get home" he spoke up and she nodded disgruntled.
"See you guys later" she disappeared into the night and I looked up at Derek.
"That wasn't nice, your too hard on them sometimes" he rolled his eyes before swooping down and pulled me up into his arms before making his way inside.
"You sound like such a mother hen" I rolled my eyes back at him.
"I am not a mother hen" I argued seeing him smile as he walked down the stairs and I looked around for Isaac.
"He's asleep" I looked towards Isaac's train car and noted the lights we're off. "Which is exactly what we're going to do" I looked back at Derek and pouted. "Don't look at me like that, you need the sleep after tonight" he put me down on one of the seats then started undressing me making me smile. "I mean it Skye" I held up my hands in surrender then stood up when he reached for my jeans undoing the button.
"Your turn" I grabbed the front of his jeans and pulled his lips towards me hearing the satisfactory grunt.
"Skyler" he warned making me smile as I undid the button and pushed his jeans down smirking at the half arousal clearly happening.
"What?" I asked innocently looking up at him and saw two glowing red eyes staring down at me.
"You know what your doing and it's unfair"
"Doesn't have to be" I replied brushing my hand between us over the stiff situation in his boxer briefs, he growled pushing me back so that I was pressed up against the wall of the train car.
"Vixen" he moaned before grabbing me and lifting me up to wrap my legs and arms around him.
"You love it" I replied before kissing him running my hands through his hair and he finally gave in moving us over to the mattress where we shared a few rounds before falling asleep completely and utterly wrapped up in each other.
