I was in a bed. A very comfortable bed with a plush blanket. I opened my eyes and observed the unfamiliar room. It seemed ancient but that might have been because everything was black and charred except for a desk and chair. Dust and ash covered the walls and floor. But the room reminded me of a piece of art smashed to pieces. Once you looked past the wreckage you could see the beauty that had once been there. I heard harsh voices speaking outside thds hidden beauty room.
"you could have killed her!" Scott growled.
"I said I was sorry Scott, but she shouldn't have been there." said another male.
"you should have controlled yourself."
"I thought she was with Kate."
"well she's wasnt Derek!" there was a pause
"she's waking up." said the other voice.
"how do you know?" Scott said with interest in his voice.
"I can hear her heart beat picking up."
My heart beat? How the fuck could someone hear that?
Seconds later Scott's head appeared in the door.
"Tess!" he bounded in and stood by my head. My eyes filled with tears at the sight of him. He was tall and lean with a shaggy hair cut. He was all grown up and I had missed it. Scott became horrified.
"no Tess, don't cry! It's fine you're safe now!" he reached down and held my hand.
"I just missed you Scotty." I tell him. At this he breaks into a smile.
"I missed you too sis. Does mom know you're back?"
"no she doesn't, I was going to surprise you." he suddenly becomes serious.
"yeah well you surprised me all right." I try to sit up but my body screams in pain. I wince and look down. My wrists have five deep red finger marks curling around them. My head feels heavy and all in all I feel like I'd been hit by a truck.
"Scott what the hell happened to me?" I say. He pales immediately.
"um you were attacked."
"by who?" I inquire.
"me." both my head and Scott's shoot up to the doorway where a young man stands. Suddenly the memories come flooding back to me and I automatically cower against Scott.
"Derek get the hell out of here!" Scott exclaims. Derek glances at him and then look back at me.
"I'm just here to say sorry." he says in a low voice. I sit there silent. Too afraid to say anything but too proud to show my fear. Derek wait for a response for a few seconds before and turns back to Scott.
"you should probably get going. It's 3 in the morning and you have school tomorrow." Scott shakes his head."
since when did you care about my education?" he retorts. Derek just rolls his eyes and walk out silently. I let the air I was holding in whoosh out. I turn to Scott.
"who is that?" he closes his eyes the holds the bridge of his nose.
"Derek hale."
