Chapter 7: The Curious One
The whole time running back to her car, all Caroline could think about was that burned down house. What happened there and what was going on inside this exact moment? Damn her curiosity! Knowing she was going to do something stupid, Caroline just didn't care.
Turning back around she became a shadow. Making no noise as she got closer and closer. "One of the many perks of being a vampire", smirking she looks inside one of the many holes from the left side of the house. Caroline thought she should feel bad about what she was doing but she really didn't.
Looking inside she spots Derek and another boy. This boy seems familiar. Hes about the same height as Derek but much skinnier. The boy turns towards her and with a shocking discovery she realizes its the guy from the diner! "Shit what was his name?" Caroline tries to think.
"Stiles - you shouldn't be here this late. If your father knew-", now she remembers his name. Huh, weird name she thought.
"I missed you okay! You don't need to be such a sour wolf. I can leave alright", frustrated Stiles heads towards the door. Derek gets a hold of Stiles before he could pass him. Bringing his hands to the boys face, Derek calms down. "I'm sorry", both sighing as Derek runs his hand over Stiles hair.
Caroline got a surprise when Stiles leans in and kisses Derek. And not just a friendly hello peck either. "Damn that's hot", not realizing she said that out loud, Caroline cursed when Derek broke away from his kiss to look at her.
Sitting like a deer in head lights Caroline had absolutely no idea what to do. Suddenly she slipped on what seemed like a broken branch, and fell.
"Caroline?" Derek said, startled.
"Who's Caroline?" Stiles asked as Derek ran outside.
As he turned the corner to where the hole was she seemed to be looking in, he noticed her gone. "CAROLINE, I KNOW YOU'RE OUT HERE!" He yelled. "CAROLINE."
Stepping out from behind a tree, she smiled and looked down at the ground embarrassed.
"DEREK! Where did you go?" Stiles walked out of the crumbled house, confused.
"Stiles, over here. There is someone I'd like you to meet." As Stiles came closer to them both, he thought this young, beautiful girl looked familiar.
"Hello, I'm Stiles. Have we met before?"
"Hi, I'm Caroline. You can call me Care. I was at the diner earlier, I think I saw you there."
"Yes, that's it. Wait, what are you doing out here in the woods?"
Caroline was trying to come up with a believable lie to tell Stiles, but unfortunately Derek got there before her.
"She's a vampire", smirking at Caroline and Stiles disbelief expression, as Derek looked amused.
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU TELL HIM THAT?" Shouted Caroline.
"SHE IS A VAMPIRE? You told me they didn't exist you ass", Stiles said suddenly. Obviously that wasn't what Care was expecting his response to be.
"Wha - ", Caroline got silenced when Derek puts one hand on her shoulder and his other on Stiles.
Suddenly the wind started picking up around the three of them. For the first time in a long time Caroline and Derek both feel a void in their lives being filled. As the wind picked up, they all could feel their bodies heat up. Its not stopping and its getting worse.
"What is going on?" They all thought, before unexpectedly passing out.
