"I don't know where it came from. It just did." Derek spoke as he put his hands up to jump on top of a few rocks so he could cross the river that ran threw the forest. The dark haired male was back into his regular clothes while Allison on the other hand was trailing right behind him. Derek had wanted to go back into the woods to see if there was anything there that would help him figure out what was going on. Or if this was a different world that he could go through a portal. Anything at this point would be useful as to what happened as right now Derek could only grasp that he didn't understand what everyone acted different, why Allison was friends with him, who was the girl whose voice popped into his head, and that how was Laura alive? This place was strange but he couldn't tell if he liked it or not...

Laura was alive and that was fantastic, and he didn't have Allison with her family running around trying to kill him. Things in this time or world seemed to be pretty good to him. More of his family was alive as he believed that Laura said that his mom and dad were still alive. So the people he loved had come back alive and even though he was a teenager it wasn't that bad. Perhaps this was a time travel and he had to travel back in order to stop himself getting with Kate? But that didn't explain why Allison was befriending him nor why Stiles couldn't remember him.

He should of watched more SciFi.

"Well whatever it was. It looked like you were enjoying yourself." Allison said with a smile as she crossed the rocks without any problem. The two then continued their journey into the woods where they would push past the branches and jump over a few logs standing in the way. Derek did have to hand it to Allison. She wasn't a girlie girl that he thought that she was all about with the way that Scott would go on about her. He thought their relationship was based on Scott being whipped and Allison was similar to Lydia in that retrospect. But apparently that wasn't the idea as Allison didn't mind getting mud on her boots.

"Well. It was fun." He stated simply as he looked over at the spot where he had first woken up. Usually people would of over looked the spot because it looked like every bit of the forest. There was leaves, there was trees, and there was dirt. The only reason why Derek knew that this was the place where he first woke up was because he knew this forest like the back of his hand. This forest was where he grew up and where he trained with his family. Of course he would know what leaf fell from which tree or which mushroom grew where. Details from his childhood but it was mostly his nose that remembered.

"Maybe you should join the team. I could put use of my drawing abilities to good use!" Allison then waited for the reply as Derek took a few steps in front of her. He was looking for something, most likely his inhaler, but he should of replied to that. She thought as she then crossed her arms as she was waiting for the reply of, 'Oh god. Anything but that' or anything that was along those lines because it was a fact that she wasn't the artistic type. What was going on with him? Allison thought as she then huffed and lightly slapped her thighs as she gave up on waiting on him.

"Derek. Are you alright? You've been acting...off." Allison said and Derek turned to look at her. He wasn't surprised to see that she was catching on to him acting different because he was sure that there was things that he was missing. This time it was because Allison couldn't draw, could she. Derek thought as he was hoping that Allison could draw and thought that she looked like one of the girls that could at least draw a flower. Wow. He really didn't know anything abut this girl at all. Well in his defense Allison wasn't his girlfriend, friend, or someone he even remotely thought about.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Just trying to find some-."

"You're inhaler?" Allison questioned just when Derek turned around to put his hand out to her.

"Don't step in that!" Derek told her and the girl looked down to see that she was about to step on a snake that was slithering away just a few centimeters under her boot. The girl lifted her foot off the ground and then jumped over the animal that quickly slithered to safety. The brown-haired girl then looked at Derek then back to where the snake was with a slight puzzling countenance.

"How did you know that I was going to step on it?"

"I just heard him rustling through the leaves." Derek mumbled as he turned away from Allison to go walk through the leaves. He then looked around for any dust or fragrance left behind that would tell him anything that he was dealing with. The dark haired male bent his knees to move his hand along the forest floor. There wasn't anything that was being given off but there was a slight aura that he could feel. It was slowly fading but it was a strong aura. A witch? Derek thought as he figured that it had to be a witch that sent him to wherever this place is. Alternate Universe? Maybe that was it.

"Wait. You heard him? It was a snake on the ground. How could you hear a snake?" Derek huffed as he turned around to glare at Allison for constantly talking to him. She wouldn't quit acting like she was his best friend when easily she could trying to get on his good side. How long have they been friends in this world? Were they friends? Derek questioned it all until he saw the shock in Allison's eyes when she looked up at his glaring eyes. She really did know him...Allison put her hands up in defense and rolled her eyes.

"Fine. I'll be quite." She stated with a sigh as she loosely kicked some of the leaves around.

"No. I'm sorry. I just...I can hear things really well. Smell and see too. It's something I've always had." Derek said as he stood up straight and put his hands into his pockets. There wasn't anything here. He should leave with Allison because who knows what could be out here. A werewolf on the loose and other animals that could be lurking out in the forest.

"Yeah right. The guy who couldn't tell the difference between coconut and vanilla." Allison chuckled at the memory of Derek not knowing two very different fragrances but as she had looked away for a moment then looking back at Derek told her he wasn't lying. Derek's eyes were a bit wide and his shoulders slumped and she knew right away what he was saying, 'Are you kidding me?'. Allison then shook her head and put a finger up to stop Derek although she did that herself but closing her eyes.

"Wait a minute." She started saying as she then opened her eyes.

"You're telling me that you can smell really well?" Derek sighed at the question and picked up his foot to set it down an inch further from where he had it last. He then leaned to the side.

"You're hair is a strawberry shampoo and the conditioner you used has a slight lavender smell." He sad and Allison looked away from him with a raised eyebrow. She was checking to make sure that was the shampoo and conditioner that she used in the shower that morning. Was it? Allison questioned herself but as soon as she went to look back at Derek-

"Oh my god!" She raised her voice as she then put a hand on top of her heart. Derek turned around rapidly to see what Allison was freaking out about when there was Scott standing a few feet in front of them. Allison placed a hand on top of Derek's shoulder and pulled herself in front of Derek. A slight pant was escaping from her mouth.

"Really?" She questioned the guy that was standing a few feet away but when he started moving Allison had instantly moved behind Derek. The dark-haired male kept his eyes on Scott as he didn't know what Scott was up to because he had suddenly appeared in front of them. What was he thinking? How could he sneak up on them like that? The male thought as he stared at Scott for a moment to see if he was as strange as everyone else or did he keep his memory.

"This is private property." His voice was monotone and...broken? Why did it sound like a kicked puppy? Derek questioned as he watched Scott move closer to them so that they could talk and Derek took a few steps closer making Allison move along with him.

"To who?" The dark-haired male kept his calm and tilted his chin up to motion that he was questioning Scott.

"My family. So get off." Scott's voice was venom to Derek's ears. The dark-haired male started to go after Scott as he was acting like a prick. What happened to his family? This was the Hale property. This was their land. Luckily for Derek, Allison stepped in front of him which literally made Scott two steps in front of her.

"Look. We're sorry. We're trying to find his inhaler that he dropped yesterday. That's it." Allison stepped into the conversation and Scott walked over towards her. She didn't back away and instead stood up straight, narrowed her eyes, and shut her lips. Scott stopped right in front of her and placed Derek's inhaler in her hands. Scott took a moment to look down into her eyes while Allison took a few minutes to stare back at his. Her eyes fierce on his and his eyes searched for something within her's. Their hands gripped on to the inhaler tightly and Derek took a step away from the two.

"Well let me leave before you two start making out." Derek stated and that made both of them look away. Allison turned to the right and quickly grabbed on to the inhaler. Putting it inside her bag she then ran over to Derek. Scott on the other hand walked away in the other direction and didn't bother turning around to view the couple. He used his long legs to stride across and get his distance between Derek and Allison.

"Who was that?" Allison questioned.

"His name is Scott McCall." The brown-haired girl's eyes widen. She took a few steps away from Derek to grab on to the male's hands and pull him closer so they could whisper. His forehead touched her's and she looked up at Derek's green eyes. Derek wanted to pull away sooner but Allison grabbed on to the back of his neck.

"You mean to tell me that is Scott McCall? The guy who's just a few years older than us whose house burnt completely down with all his family inside?" Derek pulled away from her grip and stared at her incredulously. What was she talking about. That was his life. He was the one that had his family burnt to the ground. It was him who lost Laura, and it was him that lost everything. Scott? How was this Scott? Scott has a house with his mother. Scott had Allison. Scott went to school. Scott didn't have his family burn down. Scott wasn't the one that was older. Scott was just a teenager.

"I wonder why he's back..." Allison whispered. Derek looked back at the girl who was not staring off into the distance of where Scott had walked off. He didn't know what to say to her because he still couldn't get over the fact that Scott now had his life. His life that he was used to. Derek didn't understand how this could of happened because Scott didn't deserve this. Could Scott even handle it? Was that why Scott sounded like he was broken?

"Hey. Don't you have work today?" Once again Allison had brought Derek back out of his thoughts.

"Mhm?"

"Work. You know. At the animal clinic. The place you go to all the time to help with the animals. Always there and have no time for me." Allison had started to mimic a hard working person that would work themselves to death or become extremely boring. Derek couldn't grasp what she was trying to do with her facial expressions and he was going to ask her to stop doing whatever she was doing when it hit him.

Dr. Deaton.
