Skye's POV
I was holding on for dear life as Stiles sped down the road towards the high school like an absolute maniac and was fighting back the tears that kept threatening to fall but I refused to let them especially in front of Stiles.
"God can't this piece of crap go any faster" I groaned clutching onto the dash in front of me.
"Will you stop hating on my jeep and relax for once in your life, we're here" he was quickly pulling into a parking space and he jumped out running into the school without even waiting for me and before I had a chance to even think about catching up with him I saw a dark silhouette walking towards me with a slight limp.
"Derek?" I asked squinting my eyes to see better but he finally walked into the light and I saw that it was him so I wasted no time running towards him to wrap my arms around him but he stopped me. "Derek what is it, are you okay?"
"I'm fine" he held out my dagger that I'd accidently hit him with instead of his uncle, I frowned taking it from him and quickly slipped it back into my boot.
"How'd you get away?" I asked him.
"He didn't" I jumped at the sound of that voice and saw Peter walking up behind him and it took a second to sink in on why they were here together.
"Are you with him?!" I yelled raising my voice towards Derek.
"Yes" Derek replied without breaking eye contact with me.
"Are you seriously forgiving him for killing your sister?!"
"It was an accident" he replied in the same unemotional voice.
"It wasn't an accident Derek" I pulled my dagger out and pointed it at him but it was quickly knocked out of my hand and I found myself thrown up against Stiles' jeep with Peter's claws around my throat lifting me up so that my feet were dangling in the air and my throat started closing up.
"Let her go!" Derek snapped towards his Uncle staring at him with bright blue eyes and I saw Peter's smirk at his reaction as if he'd been expecting it.
"Calm down nephew we both know I won't seriously hurt her" Peter dropped me and I fell to my knees holding my throat as it ached and I was able to breath completely again, I looked up and saw Peter walk away and Derek hesitated looking at me before he sighed and turned to follow.
"If you leave with him don't ever talk to me again Derek Hale and any hope of us being together you can forget it" his step faltered and I watched him turn his head just slightly to me.
"I'm doing this for you Skyler" was his reply before he continued walking after his Uncle, I had no idea what he meant by he was doing this for me.
"Skye are you okay?" I looked up and saw Stiles and Scott walking towards me so I stood up after picking up my dagger on the way up.
"I'm fine just tripped" I stashed it into my boot then looked up at the direction Derek had disappeared in. "Let's go Stiles you have to drop me home" he nodded as we climbed into the jeep.
I sat back in my seat the whole way to my place thinking about what Derek meant by he was doing this for me since the last thing I want him doing is working with Peter and getting killed by my dad or the Argent's.
"Skye were here" I looked up at Stiles' voice and saw he was quickly pulling up outside my house and I saw my brother looking out the lounge room window so I quickly hopped out.
"Thanks Stiles, I'll see you at school" they nodded then Stiles drove off so I headed up the driveway and walked in and closed the door then turned and saw Jake behind me. "Is dad home?"
"No he's out, how was the game?"
"It was great, we won"
"Really I didn't see you there and your friend Stiles didn't show up at all" I frowned glaring at him for checking up on me yet again.
"Would you stop following me around!" I snapped angrily.
"I'm worried about you Skyler and it seems justified because you've been sneaking out, lying to dad and more importantly me and I want to know when my sister turned her back on her family"
"I haven't turned my back on family Jake and I don't answer to you or dad and I am tired of being the loyal soldier for dad so if you don't like it then don't talk to me" I walked upstairs and slammed my door shut sitting down at my desk hitting my head against it because I'd done it now.
I stood up to shower and head to bed but a soft bang made me look up towards my window cautiously but I quickly grabbed my Glock 9mm from my bedside table and pointed it towards the bay window, I moved the curtains out of the way and glared at the sight in front of me.
I sighed lowering the gun and tucked it into my waistline then slid the window open glaring at the sight of Derek perched on my roof staring out into the forest across the road.
"What the hell are you doing, I could have shot you?" he looked up with a slightly amused smirk but it wasn't there long. "I thought I told you to stay away from me so is there a reason your camping out on my roof"
"I didn't think you'd want to see me so this is the next best thing" I quirked an eyebrow at him.
"And what are you doing?" he sighed then looked over at me.
"Skye what I said earlier about being with Peter for you, I'm doing it to keep you safe because if I didn't join him he was going to kill you and I can't let that happen"
"So your camping on my roof to watch me" he nodded. "That's not creepy at all" I sighed and heard him chuckle. "Well you don't have to worry about me and given that my bedroom faces the road it's not really smart for you to be hanging out here so you can just run back to Peter" he looked over at me with a frown.
"Skye-"
"No Derek, I don't want to hear it because when the Argent's and my dad find out who the Alpha is then they're going to go after him and if your with him then their going to kill you to and I refuse to watch that happen and get my heart broken so I'd rather do it myself, you need to stay away from me" I shut the window without letting him argue and closed the curtains.
The whole better part of the weekend I spent in the basement working on my shooting even though my cast was still on but that was the whole point, I was practicing to shoot better despite the disadvantage.
Jake and my dad came down occasionally to try and get me to take a break or eat but I refused since I knew what was coming for us and although I should've told them I knew who the Alpha was every time I went to tell them I couldn't bring myself to do it and I knew it was the urge to protect Derek which I hated the feeling because it was turning me against my obligation to my family.
I heard my dad come down the stairs just as I loosened another arrow and hit a perfect bullseye making me smile a little but my arm was starting to hurt so I put my bow down on the rack and turned to see my dad at the bench loading one of his assault rifles.
"You going out?" he nodded so I grabbed my Glock but he shook his head.
"Stay here with your brother, I've left him with some money for food"
"Dad are you ever going to trust me to hunt with you, your always taking Jake with you and I'm just as skilled as him if not more with my bow" he smiled and walked towards me.
"Skye I'd trust you on a hunt any day but right now your injured and although you can clearly still shoot to save your life I just don't want you hurt kiddo" I sighed hanging my head but nodded not wanting to argue with him. "Be safe kid, I'll be home late and listen to your brother" I rolled my eyes but watched him leave.
I went upstairs into my room and had a quick shower after showerproofing my cast which was a pain in the ass then sat down on my bed and pulled out my history homework since I was behind with the family history project considering I had no idea what to write.
I heard a thud making me look up towards my window and frowned shaking my head as I watched the window slowly slide open then a leg coming through before I looked down focusing back onto my project.
"I thought I told you to stay away from me" I spat at him without looking up.
"I just wanted to check up on you" I frowned throwing my pencil down.
"Well I'm fine now you can get out" I nodded towards my window then stood up which was a mistake since I was just in my underwear and an oversized t-shirt and of course Derek seemed to check me out. "I mean it Derek get out" I snapped pulling the shirt down further.
"Skye please" he begged attempting to move closer but I stepped back.
"Don't Derek, I told you whatever we were it's done and you need to leave me alone otherwise you're going to get hurt" I watched his face fall and it hurt me to send him away but I had to do it, I had to break my own heart. "Please just go"
"I'm sorry" he said before he was gone and I actually felt remorse for what I just did.
I sat back down on my bed and ran my hands through my hair sighing because I hated doing that since I wanted nothing more than for Derek to take me into his arms and make everything go away but I couldn't let him in if he was just going to get killed and I knew that's were this would be heading if he continued helping Peter, it was either going to be the Argent's, my dad or Peter himself since he'd already killed his own niece so I knew that he would have no remorse killing Derek to.
I shook my head then tried to focus on my history project again but my peace was quickly disturbed again but this time by my phone ringing and I saw Scott's name flashing, I went to ignore it since I wasn't in the mood for dealing with him but second guessed myself knowing he wouldn't call unless it was important since he seemed to be avoiding me these days so I answered it.
"What is it Scott'?"
"I need your help, Derek's going to kill Jackson and you're the only one he listens to" my eyes widened but I immediately started pulling on some jeans knowing he wasn't yanking my chain because I had no idea what Derek would do for Peter in his attempt at keeping me safe from his uncle.
"Okay, okay do you know where Jackson is?" I asked pulling on a jacket and my boots then grabbed my dagger slipping it into my boot and my gun in the waistline of my jeans covering it with my jacket.
"No but I know where Derek will take him, meet me at the Hale house but do it quietly" I nodded but then realised he couldn't see me.
"Alright" I hung up then grabbed my helmet and ran down the stairs heading for the garage but Jake stepped in my way. "What the hell Jake, move!" I tried side-stepping him but he blocked me again.
"Dad doesn't want you riding and doesn't want you going out tonight"
"I don't care" I spat then moved to walk past him again but again he stepped in my way. "Move Jake"
"Where are you going, I'll drive"
"No" I replied glaring up at him.
"Then your not leaving"
"Jake you don't understand okay this is life and death" I replied and watched him frown furrowing his brows at me.
"What are you talking about?"
"I can't tell you" I replied looking down.
"Then I can't let you leave" I sighed looking up and shook my head.
"Then sorry about this" he frowned confused but I brought my fist back and connected it with his skull successfully knocking him out which was not an easy thing to do. "Ah bitch!" I cursed shaking my hand since that hurt like hell but I quickly jumped over him and hopped onto my bike because I knew he wouldn't be out long.
I pulled up at the edge of the reserve not far from the Hale house and quickly made my way into the trees following the familiar trail and saw a figure ahead and wasn't surprised to see Scott waiting for me.
"Thank god you came" he whispered. "Derek took Jackson inside" I nodded then pulled out my gun and watched his eyes widen at it. "Your going to kill him aren't you?" I sighed shaking my head.
"No I can't" I replied and watched his confusion but I walked towards the house without letting him question me.
We snuck around the back then as quietly as we could and carefully climbed up onto the second story to hopefully get an advantage on Derek and made our way into the house through one of the missing walls then walked towards the stairs hearing Jackson who was begging for his life.
"Please you can't do this, please!" god was he actually crying like a little girl. "I…I don't deserve it" I fought the urge to scoff but knew I had to stay quiet because right now Derek was distracted and had no idea Scott and I were here which meant we had the advantage for now.
"I think you do" Derek replied making me frown since no one deserved to die.
"No!" Jackson protested.
"Look around you!" Derek yelled cutting Jackson off. "Wouldn't there be someone here trying to save you?" I shook my head and clicked the safety off my gun frowning because I might actually have to use it even if every part of my body was screaming no. "There's no one here and there's a reason no one cares that you drive an expensive car, no one cares that you have perfect hair and no one cares that captain of the lacrosse team!"
"Excuse me" Scott spoke up and we walked out to stand at the top of the stairs making Derek look up at us and I watched his eyes widen a little at the sight of me but then the anger was back. "Co-captain" Scott added then jumped down the entire flight of stairs landing in front of Jackson growling before he turned back to face Jackson who looked petrified at Scott's werewolf face as I rushed down the stairs beside him raising my gun towards Derek who shifted into his own wolf.
"Move!" Derek said looking at me and Scott.
"Isn't gonna happen bright eyes" I remarked glaring at him from behind my gun.
"Skyler move"
"No!" Scott replied backing me up as we stood side by side, a hunter and a werewolf working together you would've thought.
"You wanna kill him, you go through us" I added and Derek growled at me but I refused to look scared because I wasn't since he couldn't hurt me anymore than I could hurt him.
"Fine I'll kill you two as well" I scoffed about to call his bluff but his head whipped to the door behind him. "Cover your eyes!" he grabbed my arm then pulled me down making me drop my gun just as a flash bulb arrow shot through the glass window sending light through the room before the gunshots went off and they obviously weren't mine.
Derek quickly pulled me to his chest shielding me from them as he moved swiftly behind a wall for cover and I clutched onto him because I knew who it was and knew I was dead if they found me here but Derek and I looked up and saw Scott had been shot and a blue smoke was coming out of the wound.
"You need to go, get him out of here" I shook my head looking up at Derek.
"No I'm not leaving you here"
"Skyler go!" he growled out but I glared back at him. "Stop being stubborn" he stood us up quickly looking at the door before he pushed me over towards Scott. "Both of you go, now!" he grabbed Scott and pushed him towards the back door.
"Derek no, I wont leave you here" I argued.
"Skye go now, he needs your help" he tried pushing me but I grabbed his arm and crashed my lips to his not caring about the deadly fangs protruding out of his mouth right now.
"I love you!" I exclaimed after I stepped away and watched his eyes widen before he cupped both my cheeks and kissed me quickly without his fangs which he'd put away.
"Go please" he whispered then gave me a gentle push towards the door which Scott was just staggering through, I sighed then ran and grabbed Scott throwing his arm around my shoulder chancing one last glance at Derek. "Run!" I nodded then ran dragging Scott along barely hearing the growls and gunshots behind us.
I dragged Scott beside me for as long as I could but eventually I couldn't hold up his dead weight any longer and fell to my knees dropping him causing him to fall onto his back clutching a hand over his wound which was still smoking from the wolfsbane bullets.
"Scott you have to stand, you have to help me I can't carry you" I pleaded with him but he was almost totally unconscious. "Scott please"
"Allison" he whispered before passing out and I cursed because he was delirious.
"Scott come on we can't stay here" I stood up and grabbed his arms attempting to drag him the rest of the way but he was way too heavy and I had no idea where I was taking him anyway, I couldn't take him to a hospital and I couldn't take him home.
"Perhaps I can help" I spun ready to attack but then saw the dark-skinned vet and frowned.
"You?" he smiled holding up his hands.
"I'm not here to hurt him and I'm not a hunter or a werewolf" I frowned but looked down at Scott.
"Can you help him?" he nodded then walked towards Scott and picked him up seemingly without effort making me frown even harder. "Who are you?"
"Just a vet but I happen to know about more than I should" I didn't like the sound of that but followed him towards his car which was conveniently parked next to my bike. "Follow me" I nodded hopping on then followed him to his clinic.
I helped him carry Scott inside and lay him on the metal table then watched him as I paced remove the bullet from Scott's side but looked up when I heard the vet dropped the bullet into a metal dish then Scott gasped waking up and coughed, I walked over to the table and tried to put a comforting arm on Scott's shoulder keeping him laying down so the vet could clean out the wound.
"I wouldn't get up just yet" the vet told him when Scott looked at him confused.
"Where am I…?" Scott asked looking around.
"You're fine and I've given you something that should speed up the healing process" I frowned looking up at the vet because he really did know too much for a human.
"But you're a vet?" Scott replied after looking down at his wound which the vet was dabbing with a cloth.
"That's very true and 90% of the time I'm mostly treating cats and dogs"
"Mostly?" Scott and I asked him at the same time, the vet looked up with a small smile.
"Mostly" he agreed but my attention was back on Scott as he passed out again.
"Scott?" I shook his shoulder but he was out for the count. "Damnit" I cursed then looked up at the vet. "Who are you?"
"My names Dr Deaton" he replied smiling at me.
"I meant 'who are you' like how the hell do you know about any of this?" I spat at him but he continued to smile which was seriously making me uncomfortable.
"I know about Scott and a lot more too like your family's history but I'm not what you think I am Skyler"
"How do you know my name?" I asked him stepping back defensibly.
"I've known you since you we're just a little kid since I used to know your mother Beth" I frowned not liking how he knew so much about me but I didn't know a thing about him. "I'm not your enemy Skyler and I'm only here to help" I sighed looking down at Scott since he did help him and I was thankful for that since I felt responsible for him for some reason.
"Well thank you, for Scott I mean" he nodded then picked up all the medical stuff he'd used.
"Your welcome" I nodded then watched him leave.
I stayed with Scott ignoring my phone which was going off with a million angry texts and voicemails from my brother and it wasn't until my dad started texting telling me to home that I finally had to leave and trust the vet with Scott.
