Chapter 10- Visionary
Alanna was running with Derek in a foggy forest and hunters were chasing them. They both fell and covered their ears. They land in front of a hunters' ultrasonic emitters. Derek grabbed her hand and pulled her up with him. Another werewolf stopped in front of them. "You are a Hale." He said as he looked at Derek. "You are a Haven." He said as he looks at Alanna and bowed his head. An arrow went through the werewolf's neck and they looked towards where the hunters coming they shot two arrows at them. Uncle Peter Hale came out and caught the one in mid air. Alanna caught one before it reached her face and broke it in half. Peter grabbed Derek and Derek grabbed Alanna's hand as they ran to safety. They sat in an abandoned basement for two days as the hunters looked for them. Derek would tell Alanna that everything was going to be alright. He ran his fingers through her light brown hair.
Derek and Alanna were back at school. Alanna leaned against the lockers as she watched the boys play basketball. All the while her light blue eyes were on Derek and no one else. A girl with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes came out. She had a mark under her eye.
"You stop playing basketball in the hallway. It is meant to be played where there is a gym." The girl said
"It is meant to be played where a basketball is. If you can get this ball away from me, I will stop." Derek replied
The girl takes some attempts to get the ball but, Derek shows off his dribbling skills and she goes back to the music room. Alanna sighs as one of Derek's friends ask her out. Derek shoots them a glare and they go away. Derek starts to walk towards the music room.
"Der, where are you going? I need to talk to you about something." Alanna says
"Just head home we will take about it later, Anna." Derek replies
Derek walks into the music room and Alanna watches what is happening.
"I am sorry. What is your name?" Derek asks
"I will tell you my name if you can play one instrument in this room." The girl answers
"One instrument?" Derek asks
The girl nods her head and he scans the room looking for an instrument and finds a triangle. He plays the triangle. Alanna rolled her eyes and wondered why he was even trying to get this girl. Alanna's ears go up when she heard the girl's voice.
"My name is Paige." The girl says
"My name is..." Derek starts to say
"I know who you are." Paige snips at him
Alanna saw the look of love in Derek's eye and a tear rolls her cheek. She had started to see Derek in a different way and he was always on her mind. They were only fifteen years old and she felt everything should involve around him. She went home and into her room crying. What was happening to her? Leo knocked on his daughter's door frame.
"You can come in." Alanna answers
"What is wrong my little princess beta?" Leo asked
"I saw Derek flirting with another girl and saw the look of love in Derek's eyes. I started to cry and it felt like someone stabbed me in my heart. I growled a little and Derek heard me but, I ran home. It feels like everything involves around Derek and I do not understand why." Alanna explained
Leo sighed and knew it was time to explain settings about the family to her. His light blue eyes glazed over her and he rubbed his head. Leo had known the time would could someday, he was not ready to tell her. Alanna had been his only pup due to his wife, Eva having problems off miss carrying and getting pregnant. Leo was born a werewolf and his wife was bitten. Leo gathered Alanna in his arms and held her.
"My little pup, The Haven family is a very special breed of werewolves. Werewolves call us pure werewolves because we look after all the werewolves and loyal and protective over the ones we love and our pack. It is in your nature to protect Derek and the ones you love. You take after me like that." Leo explained
"What does imprinting mean?" Alanna asked
"You mother told you that I imprinted on her. Imprinting means you have chosen your mate. The person you want to be with for the rest of your life. I do not know the stages or how it really works but, I think you have started." Leo replied
"Thank you, I love you, Dad." Alanna answered
"I love you too, princess." Leo said
It had been a week since Derek meet Paige and ignored Alanna all together. He did even talk to Alanna much anymore and it hurt Alanna really bad and made her heart ache. She went with her Uncle Peter to follow them to Derek's gateway an abandoned distillery outside Beacon Hills. After, she saw that she left and went to spend time with Derek's mother. It was a day of school and Alanna and Derek were in class together. They were doing paper work and she sees him lift his head up, knowing that he hears the music to and knows it is Paige. Derek goes to the music room and follows slowly behind. She watches as Derek stands in the doorway.
"What are you staring at?" Paige asks
"I'm not staring. I'm listening." Derek replies
Paige softly smiles at him.
"I am distracting?" Derek asks
"No, I got laser-like focus." Paige answers
She goes back to playing. "You sure about that?" Derek asks as he walks up to her. She continues to play and Derek stands behind her. He brushed hair out of her way and rubs his bottom lip on her ear.
"I hate you." Paige says
"No, you don't. You love me." Derek replied
"Hate you." Paige answers
"I love you." Derek says
They kiss and Alanna growls. Her eyes change yellow and she hits a locker door denting it. How could Derek not see what is in front of him. She waited for him to walk home with her. Derek came by her side and they started to walk.
"Are you going to talk to me anytime so or spend time with me? You have not done anything with me in about a week." Alanna said
"I have been busy, Anna." Derek replied
"Do not give me that crap! You have been playing with that bitch! I have seen you and you have forgotten you has been by your side since we were born. It a good thing I have Uncle Peter, Laura and your mother who know I am alive." Alanna replied
"Do not call her that!" Derek yelled
Alanna's eyes changed yellow and she grabbed Derek by the throat and pinned him on a tree. She growled at him to let him know how pissed she was. Derek's eyes were yellow also and he tried to get out of her grip. Alanna leaned in and rubbed their lips together. She kissed him and kissed his cheek. Alanna drooped Derek and ran off hoping he would get the point.
It was lunch time of the next day of school and Alanna sat away from Derek. Derek sat with his friends watching Paige. Paige sat all alone and Peter sat Ron in front of Alanna.
"You know that he cares. Alanna you are the one who truly understands Derek. You have been by his side forever. Come with me and we will go talk to him." Peter said
"Ok, Uncle Peter." Alanna replied
They got up and Alanna took Peter's hand. They went over by Derek and sat in front of him.
"Why does she eat alone?" Peter asked
"What are you doing here?" Derek asked
"I am here looking out for my favorite nephew. Making sure you have no cross bow pointed at your heart and throat." Peter answered
"I can get you banned off school ground. You know that." Derek said
"No one would banned me from anywhere. I am too good looking." Peter replied
" She has friends but, She eats alone because she wants to study and that. Plus, I don't think she likes my friends." Derek said
Alanna held on to Peter's hand and did not look at Derek.
"No one would like those hormonal half-wit. Peter said
"No." Derek said
" You two are perfect for eachother. Perfect combinations are rare. I also know someone who is perfect for you and is a better choice." Peter said as he looked at Alanna. He took a bite of a Reese peanut butter cup.
"I would be worried me too, thinking about it all the time." Peter said
"Thinking about what?" Derek asked
"Her finding out. You thought about that, right. You know what happens. one moment your in this blissful teen romance and next she sees fangs, glowing eyes, and claws. Peter replied
"She does not have to find out." Derek said
"Don't they always do. Especially when they are perfect for eachother." Peter said
"I don't think she should be with him. If he ever told his secret to her. Paige would tell the hunters." Alanna said
"He could turn her and we would be fine. He finds someone else like him. " Peter replied
Derek walked off and Peter kissed Alanna's forehead. Alanna still looked sad. "One day he will realize what he has in front of him. For right now try and date someone else. You better get to class." Peter said as he rubbed his thumb over the top of her hand. " I understand and I will try. I love you Uncle Peter." Alanna said as she got up and went to her class. She did get a date with a boy named Avery that was a partner in one of her classes.
Alanna walked home with a big smile on her face. She hummed a little and walked into her house. Leo and Eva smiled at their daughter. Alanna went up to her room and changed into a dark purple thin strap dress with black flats for her feet. She smells Derek and turns to see him on her bed. Alanna sighed as she ran her fingers through her dirty blond hair and did not want to see him.
"What do you want, Derek?" Alanna asked with venom in her voice
"I don't want you going out with him, Alanna!" Derek replied
"Can't I just be happy. You are happy dating Paige and I do not stop you. Do you know how much it hurts me to see you with her? What it feels like to see someone you care about not even talk to you our hang out with you? You do not know because you do not look at her when she is standing in front of you. The one who has been with you since you were born. It like I am not part of your life anymore and don't even exist, Derek. It makes my heart ache from pain." Alanna explained
Derek looked into her eyes and saw what she was feeling. He stood up and went to hug her but, she moved away. "It is like you did not even know that I kissed you." Alanna said looking at his face. Leo called for Alanna and she started to go. Derek grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him. He kissed her forehead. "I am sorry my Anna." Derek said as he walked towards the window. Leo was talking to Avery and Alanna smiled. During dance wit Avery and that date, Alanna only thought about Derek and what he said. Alanna went home herself and told Avery thank you but, it would not work out. Alanna went to sleep and felt Derek join her. She felt his arms around her and she kissed Derek's forehead.
"I love you, my Der." Alanna said
"I love you too, my Anna." Derek replied
Alanna woke up alone in her bed and put on a green t-shirt and jeans. She said goodbye to her parents and went to school. Derek was sitting on a bench in the locker room. Peter was standing next to Derek in a leather jacket and jeans. While, Derek wore a long sleeve dark shirt and jeans. Alanna watched in the shadows.
"I have the perfect idea." Peter said
"Go away." Derek replied
"Laura told you about the packs being her, right? There are more alphas her then I have ever seen in one place. Your mother would never do it and these packs won't be here much longer. The time to do it is now. One little bite and she never gets sick again. She stays younger and more beautiful. Derek, the bite is a gift." Peter said
Alanna growled and waited for Peter to leave. She remembered the words he would say to her, that he would do anything for her. She she felt like Peter was trying to get Paige out of the way for her. She kept her eye on Paige making sure she was ok. It was the least she could do for Derek. Alanna watched Paige as she went to the school at night holding a note in her hand.
"Derek. Derek is that you?" Paige called out
Paige walked around looking and her heart beat went up. Alanna saw Ennis one of the alphas by the doorway. Derek was stupid and Alanna changed into the wolf and let Paige run ahead of her giving her time to run. Alanna growled at Ennis. She went after Ennis and did the best she could to stop him. Alanna's yellow eyes glowed.
Derek bounced a basketball in the locker room. He heard Paige crying and went out into the hall to save her. Ennis knocked him to the ground and holds him by his head pushed into the floor. Derek saw Alanna on the floor bleeding and Paige was already bitten. Paige struggled up the stairs and looked at Alanna. She had tried to protect her and fail. Alanna whined and Derek growled trying to get up. Alanna stood up and watched Derek picked Paige up. Peter helped Alanna an they went into the abandoned basement by the base of the druid tree. Derek held Paige in his arms and knew she was dying. He looked at Peter with Alanna in his arms.
"What is happening?" Derek asked
Peter stood behind a pillar with Alanna in his arms still bleeding. "I am sorry, Derek. I tried my best but, I lost. I did it for you and watched over her." Alanna said looking at Alanna. She slowly started to heal herself. Derek held Paige's bloody hand in his as she cried out in pain.
"I'm sorry." Derek said
"I knew. " Paige replied
"What do you mean?" Derek asked
"After I told you my name. I think I knew. Strange things started to happen in town and how you could hear different things and smell. The way you talked by catching a scent. More importantly how you acted with Alanna like you were two wolves that belonged in a pack together and were meant to be mates." Paige replied
"You stayed with me." Derek said
"I loved you. Am I going to die? I can't take it anymore. Please." Paige said
"I am sorry." Derek said
His eyes glowed yellow and he broke her neck. He continue to say sorry. Peter set Alanna down and took Paige out of Derek's arms. Peter carried Paige into the woods and left the body there. Alanna crawled into Derek's lap. Derek held her and ran his fingers through her hair. His mother walk down. "Stay with me. I can't lose another girl I love, Anna." Derek said as he looked down at her. "You will not lose me, Der. No matter what happens, I will stay with you." alanna replied grabbing his hand and squeezing it.
"Derek." His mother, Talia said
"I did something terrible." Derek replied
"I know." Talia replies
"Something different with my eyes." Derek says
"Your eyes. They are beautiful just like the rest of you." Talia replies
Derek looked up at Talia with light blue ones instead of golden ones. Alanna whimpered a little and Talia looked down at her as well. Alanna was looking up at derek with dark blue eyes instead of golden ones and Derek smiled down at her. Talia picked Alanna up and they went to deaton to patch her up. "Here, I will carry her, mother." Derek said as he reached for Alanna. Derek had Alanna rest her head on his chest and arrived at Deaton's. Derek gently set Alanna on the table and removed her shirt. On her stomach was a deep cut on on her left arm. "You should be very weak from damage like this from an alpha. You have something that is your life and archer that keeps you fighting. I am surprised that Ennis did damage to you like this being a Haven. You are royalty in the werewolf world." Deaton said as he patched her up. "Do you know why my eyes changed from gold to a dark blue when i go werewolf?" Alanna asked as she looked at Deaton with dark blue wolf eyes.
"It is because you were going to give your life up for someone who was innocent and that one loved someone you loved. That you were giving up your life for them." Deaton explained
"Thank you for everything, Deaton." Alanna said
"You are welcome. Derek's are a light blue because he killed someone innocent and lost part of his soul." Deaton said
Derek helped Alanna walk home. Leo was a little upset at what Alanna did but, understood why she did it. Eva helped her daughter shower and change into some clean clothes. Derek stayed by Alanna's side for the rest of the night and left to his house to take a shower and get pajamas. They lay down together with Alanna in his Derek's arms.
"I thought I was going to lose my Anna too." Derek said
"You will never lose me, my Der. If I do leave your side for some reason it is to protect you and keep you safe. I will always be by your side and take care of you, Derek because I love you." Alanna replied kissing his forehead
"I will take care of you and love you, Alanna. I love you too." Derek replied as he kissed her forehead. They both fell asleep.
Present Day
Derek stand in the abandoned distillery holding his mate, Alanna's hand. Alanna rests her head on his shoulder and starts to understand what Paige was saying before she died. that she was born to be Derek's mate and him hers. They once again hear the strains of Schubert's Ave Maria as they remember Paige and stare at the Spiral Ennis cut in the wall so many years ago. Alanna looks into her mate's Hazel eyes and kisses him softly resting her forehead against his.
"I love you, Derek Hale. Paige was right and I accepted the fact long ago that she was your first love." Alanna said
"i love you too, Alanna Haven. I am glad you are such an understanding, loyal and loving mate. You were made to be my mate forever." Derek replied
Derek held Alanna in his arms and kissed her softly again before walking out of the abandoned distillery.
