Not really sure if I like the direction of this Chapter, I rewrote it like 10 times and I'm still not happy with it!
Also thank you to everyone reading! Along with all the Follows and Favs, I love you all!
I couldn't believe what I had just witnessed, had that man really just busted out Derek's window? I continued to watch as the SUV's carrying the assailants pulled out quickly. Derek stood there looking on with a scowl, before I knew it I was staring at him quite openly which seemed to catch his attention making him turn to look at me. Our eyes locked and I instantly looked away, I felt like a kid being caught with my hand in the cookie jar, how juvenile...
I chanced a glance back and realized he was already in his car pulling out of the Gas station, it seemed like maybe he didn't recognize me or maybe he did and didn't really care? I mean as far as potential werewolves I was quite the let down right? I started my trek home again when I suddenly heard a car creeping up slowly on my right, I looked up in curiosity.
"Get in." was all I got before Derek put his car in park beside me.
"I'm fine actually, but you should probably take that to get looked at though" I muttered back while still walking.
"I wasn't asking" he growled.
I finally stopped and looked over at Derek, was he serious? The whole my way, no highway option?But then again I did have questions for him and I might be able to get him to give me a ride back home, but what if that's just what he wanted me to think and he was really gonna try and kill me...
"Fine, but just so you know killing me would leave forensic evidence, that would eventually lead back to you...just saying" I replied while walking around to the passenger side of his Camaro.
Once I closed the door behind me it was like I was engulfed with the overwhelming smell of him, was it weird to think that? Most people wouldn't even notice it, heck a week ago I probably wouldn't have either, was it a part of the change? Was I becoming more of a werewolf? No, couldn't be it'd be pretty lame if all I got out of this was the ability to smell really well.
"Forget about what you saw, don't go telling your Dad anything...that's the last thing I need, more cops breathing down my neck." Derek's words snapped me out of my inner ramblings and I looked up at him.
"You can't be serious? Those guys smashed your window out, that's destruction of property, vandalism,you could even argue assault!" I snapped."Sorry, I dipped into some of my brother adderall...but you really should file a police report, unless..." I paused,was this really how I was gonna admit to him I knew? That I was in on his little secret.
"Does it have something to do with you being a werewolf?" I asked.
I did know what I expected after I announced that, maybe for him to slam on his breaks and look over all dumbfounded and shocked or maybe he'd slowly drive me to a secluded location to dismember me. Whatever I was expecting what he actually did came up short, he just let out a frustrated sigh, gripped the steering wheel tighter and said-
"They told you?"
"I figured it out"I corrected while looking down at my hands in my lap.
"You think I'm the bad guy now too then I guess?" He mused.
"Would I have gotten in your car if I thought that?I'm a pretty good judge of character, I really don't think you're the one who bit me...but I guess I could always be wrong" I mumbled the last part under my breath so Derek couldn't hear.
"So I'm guessing you have questions? Scott had a lot of those, of course he always asked then proceeded to tell me he didn't need my help...do you not need my help either?" he asked.
"Yes, to having questions and NO? to not-NOT needing your help? I don't know if I worded that right, all I know is I need you" I replied but after it came out of my mouth I really wanted to die."Not need you as in 'NEED' you in like a sexual way or anything, not that you aren't attractive cause you are...it's just we barely know eachother and you're like 1000% out of my league and those muscles and my awkward rambling thing I do when I'm nervous-" Derek was now staring at me with one eyebrow raised. "Anywho, questions...yea"
"What am I?" was the first question I could even think to ask.
"A annoying little Girl?" Derek responded.
"Oh ok, First of all I'm not little I'll be turning 20 in August so yea fuck you and B. How am I human after getting bit by...by that giant crazed werewolf?!" I snapped.
"*Sigh* I've never known anyone to survive the bite and not turn...You either turn or you die, I have no clue how or why you are immune to that rule. I think I explained that to Scott and your idiot brother already though, next question"
"Wow, you know I have no clue why some one would ever want to smash out your window, what with that sunny disposition and caring nature" I snarked.
"Those men, they were hunters. That means they hunt people like me and Scott, they kill us without even a second thought...they're-they're the people who killed my entire family! So don't ever act like anything they do is justifiable!" Derek yelled.
"I'm-I didn't know, I'm sorry..." My mood and feeling toward Derek immediately went from anger and hate to Sadness and Guilt, an awkward silence filled the car after that and I tried to leave it but I couldn't.
"Leather and Pine" I said breaking the silence.
"What?" he asked.
"That's what you smell like, Leather and Pine. I remember it from the night you saved me too, your whole car smells like it...you must spend a lot of time in the woods, At first i thought it was cologne but- yea" I trailed off.
"You can smell that?" he said almost shocked.
"That's all I can smell, it's almost overwhelming...why?"
"Anyone else wouldn't notice...your sense of smell is heightened, which means-" he cut himself off, it almost looked like he was trying to pick his next words carefully.
"I'm not exactly Human, am I?"
