I plop in the front seat and Allison climbs in the back. He starts to drive silently and picks up speed. I exchange looks with Allison when I realize something felt wrong. We weren't safe.
I close my eyes and breathe. I'm just paranoid. Nothing to worry about. I'm Katherine freaking Pierce. I'm a survivor and I won't be killed by some petty werewolf.
Before I can say anything, Allison gives Derek her address and he nods. Was he actually just taking us home?
After what felt like forever, we arrived at Allison's house. Allison thanked Derek and said bye to me.
Nothing is wrong. I'm perfectly fine. I sighed in relief. Now is my time to get information.
"Who are you?"
Without looking at me he responds, "Who wants to know?"
"I'm Katherine, Katherine Pierce." I stated and asked again, "Now, who are you?"
"Derek Hale." He responded in monotone. Damn, he was hard to read. "Now it is my turn to ask, what are you?"
I scoffed, "I'm human, obviously."
"No you're not, I can smell it on you." He replied. I raised an eyebrow.
"Well, since your little werewolf nose is so good at smelling, why don't you tell me" I responded with a smirk.
Derek stopped the car and looked me in the eyes, "How do you know that?"
"I have my resources, now I need protection and allies in this town. A strong werewolf like you would be a great ally, what do you say?"
Now it was Derek's turn to scoff, "And why would I help you?"
"Because you need me." That was very true, who doesn't need Katherine Pierce on their side?
Derek turned away from me and thought about it for a minute. It obviously looked like he needed someone to help him if it took him this long to decide if I was worth it.
He sighed an faced me "Look, I don't know who you are or how you know about me. You seem like you could be useful..." I scoffed. I was probably the best thing that's ever walked into his life.
"If I ally with you, then you have to do stuff for me." Derek continued
"Like what?"
"Keep an eye on Scott McCall and his friend, Stiles Stilinski. Scott seems to like Allison, whose family are hunters."
I frowned, "So, Scott is what, a werewolf? And hunters are bad because..?"
"I turned Scott into a werewolf and hunters are bad because they hunt werewolves."
"Ok, I'll do it." Doesn't seem too hard considering it's Scott. I've dealt with much worse.
"I'll meet you at your house tomorrow so you can report to me." Derek said and started driving. "What's your address?"
I was a bit hesitant to give him my address but I have to trust Derek a little for this to work. Plus I have a witch at my side, so how much harm can he exactly do?
I gave him my address and not much later we arrived at my house. I nodded at him and started getting out of the car. Before I was out, he grabbed my wrist. I tensed up and almost pulled back.
"Don't tell anyone." He warned me. It almost sounded like a threat.
I replied, "Don't worry" I smirked and pulled my hand from his grip.
I looked at my phone and it read 1:43. Great. Sofie's probably either freaking out or furious with me. I opened the front door and Sofie nearly jumped on me.
"Where were you?" She asked raising her voice. Her hair was disheveled and her face was pulled into a frown.
"Oh nothing, just making allies with a sexy werewolf." I said casually walking past her.
"Who? Derek?" She said confused.
"Yep, now sit down, I have a lot to tell you." I said smiling.
XXXXXX
I sat down at the lunch table with a pathetic sandwich and a bag of chips. I sighed. This is disgusting.
"Katherine, what about you?" Lydia said. I was too busy worrying about my lunch to even hear the girl's conversation.
"What about me?"
"Are you going to the lacrosse practice?" Lydia responded, acting like it was obvious. I rolled my eyes.
"I don't know..." I replied but then remembered that I have to keep an eye on Scott and Stiles. "You know what? I'll be there." I said smiling.
"Great! This will be so much fun!" Lydia exclaimed and started to talk about some dumb drama to Allison and Sofie. Sofie was definitely enjoying this whole highschool experience a little too much.
XXXXXX
I shivered on the bleachers with Lydia, Allison, and Sofie. Lacrosse was actually entertaining. I was never really into lacrosse because in Mystic Falls the sport was always football, even in 1864.
Allison gasped when Scott was slammed by Jackson. I rolled my eyes, Scott will be fine. Those kind of people get through everything, no matter how annoying they are.
Scott tries to get past Jackson again and both boys hit each other hard. This time even I cringe, that's gotta hurt. Jackson laid on the ground writhing in pain. Everyone swarmed him. Scott was hunched over and Stiles led him inside. Better do my job.
I stand up and announce, "I'm going to go to the bathroom, I'll be back soon." and huffed as I climbed down all the bleachers. I looked up to see all three girls standing up, worried about the two injured boys. I rolled my eyes, crossed my arms over my chest, and went in to spy on Scott and Stiles.
I walked in the locker room to see Scott all wolfed out and literally almost kill Stiles. I was surprised he didn't just do it. Stiles was so annoying. Too sarcastic. Too Damon. No that's not right, Stiles is nothing like Damon except for the sarcasm and the obsession for girls who didn't love them back.
Scott seemed to calm down. Stiles was definitely convinced Scott couldn't play lacrosse because of his new "condition." They started to make their way out so I left before they caught me.
As I was leaving the school someone pulled me into a closet. The dim light in the closet turned on and Derek's eyes were staring at me.
"What do you want?"
"What went on with Scott?" Derek asked.
"Little Scott can't control all his little wolf powers." I said a bit annoyed.
He sighed and "He'll kill get me killed if he keeps that up."
"Which is why you have to help him. I am not going to get caught in that mess."
"Fine" He said. I could feel his warm breath on my face and that's when I realized how close we were. My chest grazed his. It seemed like he finally realized how close we were and said with a rough voice "Help me."
For some unknown reason the only word I could say was "Ok." What was happening to me? Vampire Katherine would never do this.
So this had a bit more Derek in it. I don't want them to be too friendly now because both of the characters are very serious about survival and "love is weakness." I promise they will have more intense moments like this but you gotta be patient with me. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW. I love hearing feedback and don't hold back on suggestions because I'm open to your ideas!
HAPPY READING
