AN: Thank you so much for the reviews! I was so happy that I thought I would give you something for it! Enjoy this chapter!
Natasha couldn't stop. She didn't want too. The insane idea that she could run away from her problems was going through her mind. Natasha's hard breathing and her feet hitting the cement was the only noise in the quiet streets. When she finally slowed to regain control of her breathing, she looked around at her surroundings. Natasha realised that she had run to an old park that her and Scott use to go to. She slowly walked over and took a seat on the old swings.
Scott had started freaking out and he was getting on Derek's last nerve. Deaton was treating an unconscious Peter. Stiles was at Deaton's side assisting him when he could. Scott was pacing and Melissa was trying to calm him down. The rest of the pack was still in shock sitting around the lounge room.
"We should be going after her!" Derek finally snapped. He stood from his spot against the wall and flashed his red eyes at Scott.
"Fine. I'll go and get her. You stay here." Scott pouted and looked at Derek like he was going to start an argument. Derek flashed his eyes again at the young beta. Scott looked down and mumbled a fine before going and sitting next to Allison and Melissa. Derek grabbed his car keys and headed out the door. He closed the door behind him and just stood there. He had no idea why he said that he would go. A sudden urge to find Natasha and make sure she was alright came over him. He took a deep breath and inhaled her scent. Sandalwood, happiness and mystery filled his mind and made it hard for him to focus for a moment. Derek focused on where the scent went. He walked down the stairs and towards his car. Starting the car, he rolled down the window and focused on Natasha's scent. He drove around for 10 minutes before ending up at an old park. Natasha was sitting on a swing and looked breath-taking. Natasha's hair tumbled down her back in messy waves. She had her head down so Derek couldn't see her eyes, but he knew that if he looked, he would see sadness. Derek got out of the car slowly. He walked up behind Natasha and stopped.
Natasha was deep in her own thoughts when she heard the car pull up. Without looking up, she knew that it was someone from the pack. She wanted to get lost in her own thoughts, block out the rest of the world. But she knew that would never happen with what has happened now. Natasha waited for whoever it was to come up and tell her to go back to the apartment with them. Moments passed and nothing was said. Natasha was about to speak up when someone sat on the swing next to her. She looked up to see Derek staring at her. Natasha never thought that he would be the one to come and get her. She couldn't look away from him. In that moment, she knew that there was something about Derek. The only thing that Natasha knew about Derek was what she had heard from Stiles and Scott. Well, it was mainly bitching from Stiles. But looking at the alpha now, she knew there was much more to him than the others realise and Natasha wanted to know everything about the guy sitting next to her. While those thoughts ran through Natasha's head, she had an urge to grab Derek's hand and entwine their fingers. So instead she grabbed the chains and started to swing. The wind blowing through her hair made it easier for her to focus on the fact that her whole life just turned upside down again.
Derek watched Natasha. He couldn't help it. The girl was a bit of beauty sent from the heavens. After everything that Derek had done with his life, he never thought that we would be able to see beauty in the world again. He knew what the world was capable of, how it crushed every ray of hope and beauty. Derek wanted to protect Natasha from the world around her. He wanted to show her that, even if you don't believe it, beauty can still walk into your life. Natasha was proof of that. She started to swing. Derek stopped breathing for a moment. She looked even more beautiful than before. A smile started to spread across her face. Natasha looked so peaceful, like the darkness of the world hadn't touched her yet. Whenever he was around her, he seemed to always lose his breathe. Derek tries to remember the last time that he had that feeling. Natasha starts to slow down. She comes to a full stop and looks down. Derek decides that it is time to break the silence.
"Everyone is worried about you." Natasha frowned. She didn't mean to cause the pack pain; she just needed to get away. Natasha looked up at Derek and her frown deepened even more.
"Did I hurt him?" It took a moment to realise who she was talking about. Peter. Derek let a small smile out. Peter got everything he deserved and so much more.
"Don't worry about it. Peter has a thick head, I'm sure he will survive." Natasha gave a small smile to Derek before standing up.
"I suppose that we have to go back now don't we?" Derek looked up and her sadly and nodded. He didn't want to leave the small bubble that surrounded them while they were here. He got up and stretched his muscles. Natasha walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his middle. Derek stiffened. Natasha was hugging him. Derek slowly relaxed into the hug before wrapping his arms around the small fragile girl.
"Thank you for coming." Natasha lifted her head and looked at him. There was hurt in her eyes, but also an emotion that Derek couldn't place.
"You're welcome." Natasha smiled at Derek before pulling away and walking towards his car. Derek stood there for a moment longer before walking over to the car and getting in.
A girl walked out of the shadows. She watched the car drive off with the target in the front seat. She pulled out her phone and dialled a number that she knew off by heart.
"The girl left with the alpha. They were heading back to the apartment. I still think that we should figure out how the Salvatore line survived before we kill her." A mumble came through the phone before the girl snapped it shut and retreated back into the shadows.
