Chapter 11
***************************************MUST READ********************************************** *************
Okay SUPER long chapter. For me at least. But IT'S ALSO THE LAST CHAPTER OF DON'T QUIT! Waaaah! But wait the tiny voice in my head says, it doesn't have to end. Say what?! Yeah, all you have to do is write a sequel! Oh my word I should do that! Yeah you should dumb ass. Shut up tiny voice in my head! Yeah so anyways. Yes! Sequel! Really happy, but might take a while on account of my other stories so please don't get frustrated. The end of Derek and Ev is not coming anytime soon so be patient and it'll be up as soon as I take care of some other stuff.
He was trying hard to be strong. With every punch he'd been enduring he was trying ,but the thoughts of Kate going after Ev were deafening. He knew that first day when she'd come across his house he should have just stopped her at the front door and never looked back, but no. He'd seen the look she's had in her eyes. A look of pain, almost as if her family had been in the fire. He'd gotten curious and then he'd gotten sloppy, but he couldn't help it.
When she'd come into the house and stared at its charred remains he could tell she saw the beauty it once held. Then she'd looked him in the eye for the first time and he was a goner.
The man hit him once again and he grunted. The blows just kept coming.
He thought about when she'd challenged him. No one had done that to him in awhile. Not since Laura had died.
She started to walk out that door and that's when he knew he was really gone when he'd called out after her, making excuses to somehow drive her home and it had worked. He drove her home and with each tease she gave, each quick witted remark, each shy glance he fell just a little harder and he'd been falling harder and harder ever since that day.
Kate was right. As much as he hated the idea of that woman knowing anything about him and Ev, she was right about the fact that he loved her. He loved her with everything within him and more. Every time he kissed her he put his all into it so she'd know that. He was in love with her and it made him do some crazy things, but they were all to protect her. If Kate got a hold of her now, all of that would be for nothing.
He heard the door slide open and he kept his head down because he had no energy to lift it up.
"That's enough," he heard Kate say and he couldn't hear Ev or her heartbeat so he knew Kate didn't have her," I'll take it from here for a little while."
The man left and it was just them again.
"So I went after Ev," Kate began," And she actually beat me. She had me at gun point and she had me, but you know what happened. Told her I'd kill you and her Dad or she had to kill me and she couldn't do it. She couldn't pull the trigger so she let me go. You know Derek I thought you liked girls with a bit of backbone."
Slowly, he lifted his head, looked Kate straight in the eyes and said," That just shows she has one. She doesn't have to kill because she isn't a coward like you."
Kate smirked and picked up a metal pipe off the ground," Wrong answer."
TEEN WOLF
Ev sat on the couch for she didn't know how long. It was light when she'd first down and now it was almost dark outside. She couldn't move, couldn't talk, and couldn't think. Everything was too much so she'd just shut down and she didn't know how to come back on. Distantly, she heard the front door open and her father call out her name.
He called it again and stood in front of her. That's when he realized something must be seriously wrong with his daughter. He kneeled down in front of her and her cold, distant eyes landed on him.
"I was willing to kill someone today," she let out in a broken whisper," Kate Argent came to the house and she tried to take me but I beat her. She said if I didn't kill her she'd kill you and Derek so I let her, but I wanted to pull that trigger so bad. I wanted to see the look in her eyes as that bullet went through her heart. I almost thought about shooting her in the stomach so she'd die slower. I was ready to kill her. I was so close. I thought I could never kill someone, but I almost did. I was so close. I wanted it so bad."
Dr. Deaton was speechless. Never would he have thought that something like that would have come from his daughter's mouth. Never would he have thought that everything she was would be destroyed.
"But you didn't," he offered lightly," You didn't do it, sweetheart."
"Not this time,' she said so quietly he almost didn't hear it.
"Evangeline, please," her father said," Don't do this. Don't let this destroy everything you are. I've lost too many people to this. You're the only pure thing I have left in my life."
"I love him," she said, tears spilling from her eyes," I love Derek and it's destroying me."
"It's okay, sweetheart," he said, embracing his daughter. He'd done everything to protect her from all of this and now there was nothing he could do. If she loved him, he couldn't take that from her. She'd lost so much. There's no telling what losing him could do to her.
"Oh how sweet," a familiar voice said from behind the family and Ev froze. Her father stood straight up and Ev slowly turned to see Peter Hale standing in her living room.
"I'd thank you kindly if you'd get out of my house," Deaton said.
"You know if you're going to have mountain ash protect your house than you should really have the door closed at all times," he taunted," My guess is that wasn't there when Juliana was murdered."
Ev stood straight up and her father had to hold her back.
"You're the one that killed her!" she exclaimed.
"No," he said, rolling his eyes," Don't be so dramatic. Juliana was a friend and I'd be happy to tell you about her sometime but right now I'd like to know where my nephew is."
Ev stared him down and took a deep breath," What make you think I know where he is?"
"I heard you say Kate Argent was here," he replied.
"She didn't tell her where he was," her father defended for her.
"I'd like to hear this from, Evangeline," Peter said, his eyes glowing.
"If I knew I'd already be there to save him," she said, praying that her heartbeat kept steady.
He bought it," Fine then, but my earlier offer still stands. I can help you find Derek."
"You're a murderer," she replied," I'm not taking any help you're offering. I refuse to be a part of your demented little wolf pack. Get out of my house."
He sighed dramatically," I guess I'll just go seek help elsewhere."
He left back out the front door and she slammed the door behind him.
She replayed the last words over in her head and realization crossed her face," He's going after the boys."
Frantically, she pulled out her phone and dialed Stiles. With each passing ring she grew more worried until it hit voicemail.
"Hey this is Stiles sorry I can't get to the phone right now but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can," the voicemail said and she remembered that they were at the high school winter formal tonight. She sighed and left a voicemail explaining everything to him.
"You have to go to the school to them, don't you?" her father asked.
"I'll be back."
"Please be careful, Evangeline," he said and she was out the door.
TEEN WOLF
Ev saw the crowd of panicked teenagers and her heart leapt out of her chest as she pushed her way through the crowd to see Lydia Martin bloody and bitten being held by Jackson Whittmore.
She dropped down near Jackson next to Lydia.
"What happened?" she asked him as loudly as she could without someone hearing.
"I don't know," Jackson said quickly," Stiles called and I found her on the field like this."
"Wait Stiles called you?" she asked.
He nodded and looked down at Lydia," Is she dead?"
Ev felt for her pulse, found it beating faintly, and yelled," Has someone called an ambulance?"
"They're on their way," one teenager said and she saw Coach Finstock pushing through the crowd. She recognized him from her time at the high school.
"What the hell is-"he saw Lydia and Jackson and she moved out of his way and back through the crowd to her car. She couldn't find Scott or Stiles and neither of them was answering their phones. She pulled out of the parking lot and circled around the school. She came to the bus lot and saw Chris Argent helping his daughter out of a bus. She caught a glimpse of her face and she knew what had happened.
She pulled up just as Allison got into Chris' car and Chris saw her. She got out of the car and he made his way over to her. Before she could say anything she spoke up.
"I don't know what just happened between you ,Scott, and your daughter but I beg of you," she paused and searched his eyes," He's a good kid with too much for him to handle and he means the world to me. If you know where he is, please tell me. He's just a boy and he hasn't done anything wrong."
His features softened as he pointed in the direction of the woods," He ran that way."
"Thank you," she said and ran off.
TEEN WOLF
"Scott!" she called out once again," Scott!"
She'd been wandering for a while. She had to find him. If nothing else made sense, she had to know he was okay.
She heard a pained scream come from beside her and she ran in the direction calling Scott's name.
She saw him huddled on the ground, sobbing and she dropped down in front of him.
"Scott," she said gently and he lifted up his head to look at her. Her heart broke in pieces at his tear stained face.
"She knows Ev," he managed to choke out," Allison knows what I am and she looked at me like I was a monster."
She grasped his face in her hands and pulled him into her arms.
"It's okay, Scott," she whispered into his hair," It's gonna be okay."
She held him in her arms as he cried and kissed the top of his forehead," It's gonna be alright."
TEEN WOLF
Ev managed to get Scott back to her car. He sat in the passenger seat and they were silent the whole way to her house. She led him inside and sat him on the couch. He didn't talk or move so she just left him be and made her way into the kitchen. Her father joined her seconds later.
"What happened?" he whispered.
"Allison found out," she replied and glanced at Scott's unmoving back," He's really upset about it."
"Is he going to be alright?"
She shook her head in case he was listening," It's all coming together, Dad. Whatever's been going on it's all coming to a close tonight and I need to be able to help Scott and Stiles."
"What about Derek?" he asks carefully.
"He can't be my first priority right now," she said," They need me and I need to be able to protect them."
"Even from Derek?"
"Even from Derek," she repeated.
Her father nodded," Your mother and I knew a lot about werewolves, but we also knew that they could be violent. We developed several weapons that we sold to hunters, but we did keep some from ourselves so if it ever came down to it we could protect you."
"Why are you telling me this?" she asked.
"Because if you're going to be in this game," he began," and I mean really in it than you have to be able to protect yourself. A gun and some arrows aren't going to cut it."
"You have something better?" she asked.
He nodded," Follow me."
He led her to the garage and went into the cabinet where she'd taken her bow and arrows from. At the bottom was a large, black box which she'd always assumed was full of tools. He pulled it out and unlocked it.
"What's in there?" she asked slowly.
"From time to time your mother and I helped on hunts," he said," These are her weapons."
"Take these two," he said, holding up a gun holster that attached to her hip and a thigh holster that held two knives. She pulled her gun out and did as she was told.
"You'll also need these," he said, handing her a pair of fingerless gloves with metal tongs at the ends putting the box back and he handed the key to it to her on a necklace. She put it on her neck as he stood back up. She slipped on the gloves and examined them.
"What are they?" she asked.
"Werewolves revert back to their human form when they're electrocuted," he said, "Just touch your hands together and they turn on. Hit it on any part of them and they'll go down easily."
She slapped her palms together and they hummed to life. Blue strings of electricity ran over the metal.
"The underside is laced with rubber so they can't hurt you," he explained and she slapped her hands together again and they turned off," They double as gloves for your crossbow which I assume you already have with you."
She nodded," You and Mom invented the gloves."
"Your mother mostly," he said," You have the only pair. The hunters don't like the idea of getting close to their prey. Mainly because most of them lack the skill in hand to hand combat."
"And I don't."
"Correct," he said matter of factly," Now hand me one of those knives I gave you."
She pulled one from the holster on her leg and handed it to him.
"They are just like any other knife," he began, but tilted the hilt towards her and she saw a small button on the top," Press this and it injects a lethal dose of wolfs bane into your target."
He handed it back to her and she put it back into her thigh holster.
"Your mother was very adept at protecting herself," he said.
"Not adept enough," Ev said with sad eyes.
"That's just thing," he said, shaking his head," What I could never figure out all these years. She would have known the signs that a werewolf was coming for her. She would have protected herself and taken precaution."
"What does that mean?" Ev asked.
"It means it must have been an incredibly powerful werewolf," he said," One that you should be feared by both of us."
"I'm sorry, Dad, but I'm done being scared," she said and left him in the garage to call Stiles. It went straight to voicemail again and she grew more worried.
She made her way back to Scott and kneeled in front of him slowly," I know it hurts, but we're going to figure this out. I'm here for you and I always will be. Do you understand? You are not alone."
Scott nodded," I have to get it together, don't I?"
She nodded," We have to find Derek before Peter Hale does."
"Okay," he said and she smiled.
"As much as I love that tux you're gonna have to change," she joked and he gave a small smile," Now come on I have some clothes upstairs that might fit you."
TEEN WOLF
"So you know where Derek is?" Scott asked in the car.
"Kate told me he was underneath the Hale house in a series of tunnels," she said, watching the road," but the problem is apparently unless you know what you're doing it's impossible to navigate them."
"I think I have an idea," he explained," Derek said that wolves can sense there pack members. If I go down there I may be able to find him."
"Sounds like a plan," he said, redialing Stiles number.
"What's going on with Stiles," Scott asked.
"I don't know," Ev said," I can't get a hold of him, but I'm worried. Lydia Martin got attacked by Peter I'm sure of it."
"Stiles was her date," Scott said and she redialed his number, still going to voicemail.
Her phone pinged with a text and she it was Stiles that said he was okay, couldn't talk, and was at the hospital with Lydia. She showed the text to Stiles just as they got to the Hale house. They got out of the car and she followed after Scott, bow and arrows with her.
TEEN WOLF
The door slid back open and Derek looked back up to see the man who'd been pounding him with a baseball bat," Ready to have some more fun? To be honest, my knuckles are kind of hurting. So I brought some help. But I need to warn ya. I used to play in college."
Just as it was about to collide with him he caught it with the hand Scott had help him get free," I brought a little help too."
He knocked the man out with the bat as Scott stood in the door way, Ev next to him.
Ev came in and started searching for the key to the cuff.
"Scott, help me with this," Derek ordered, pulling at it.
"Ev we can't get him down just yet," Scott said," Not until he promises to help us stop Peter."
"He's going to help us," Ev said.
"Ev, seriously," Scott said," We can't trust him. Look at what he's done. He let Peter come after you."
"Scott just help me down from here!" Derek yelled," I don't know when Kate's coming back."
"No," Scott said," We're not doing anything until you agree to help us."
"Damn it, Scott!" Ev yelled," He had no choice."
"What?" Scott asked in confusion.
Ev found the key and turned to Scott," He had no choice. He was always on our side, but Peter told him he had to help him."
"So he didn't have to, Ev!" Scott screamed.
"Yes he did!" Ev yelled back," He had to because if he didn't Peter said he'd kill me!"
Scott froze and looked to Derek," Is that true?"
"Yes," he said quietly and Ev turned and unlocked his cuff. He fell forward onto her and she held him up.
He held is arm over her shoulder and Derek looked to Scott.
"You'd do anything for Allison," Derek began in a weak voice," Well, I'd do anything for Ev. I know what Peter is and I know what he did to my sister. I'll help you."
TEEN WOLF
Derek leaned some of his weight on Ev as Scott led them through the tunnels.
"How did you know what that he was making me do this?" Derek asked softly.
"You said you'd never hurt me," she said, focusing on keeping both of them up," I guess it kind of stuck."
They made it out and she was having more and more trouble supporting his weight. As she tried to lug his up a hill Derek stopped.
"Hey. Hold on," Derek said, out of breath and Ev scanned their surroundings, "Something doesn't feel right."
"No, don't say too easy. People say too easy and bad things happen. What, do you think finding you was easy? Getting away from Allison's dad? None of this has been easy," Scott said quickly and Ev shook her head.
"He's right Scott," Ev said," Where's Kate? Where's Peter?"
"It doesn't matter," Scott said," Now let's get out of here before they get here."
"You're right," Derek said.
"Thank you," Scott said, just as Ev heard the whiz of an arrow and Derek had an arrow in his arm and in another split second one was in his leg. Ev dropped down next to him and turned to see Kate and Allison. She pulled out an arrow and was about to fire at Kate, but Derek pulled her up and dragged her along with Stiles. Another bolt whizzed by and set off sparks. Ev closed her eyes just in time but Scott and Derek weren't so lucky.
She ran over to Derek and tried to pull the arrow out of his leg.
"Scott, run!" she screamed as Kate and Allison got closer.
"I can't see!" he yelled back.
"So we meet again," Kate said and fired the gun right into Derek's chest. Ev screamed and watched as the wound bled.
"Told you I'd kill him," she said as Ev tried to stop the bleeding.
"Why are you doing this?" she asked, looking the older woman straight in the eye.
"Because I can," Kate said and distantly she heard Allison and Scott talking, but she didn't care. The blood began to seep through her fingers and she tried to hold back her tears because Kate was still watching her.
Kate bent down to her level and whispered in Ev's ear," You wanna know how I knew how to burn down this house. Derek told me. Of course he had no idea what he was doing. All he knew was that I was the pretty face he was jumping into bed with and after all the hot, crazy, forbidden sex we'd have I'd ask him casual questions. About his family and their weaknesses. This house. It was easy really."
Ev slowly turned to look at Kate, holding her breath she shook her head," You're lying."
Kate shook her head," Sorry sweetie. I'm not. I'm telling the truth. The little love of your life right there isn't so great. Hurts doesn't it? You know if you want I'll let you finish him off. You'd make a great hunter. We could even be a team. Think about that one while I take care of some other business."
Ev didn't even realize when Kate left her and she turned back to Derek.
"I'm sorry," he said with sad eyes.
"It's true?"
He nodded and she turned to see Kate had a gun pointed at Scott. She snapped out of it, got up, and pointed her gun at the back of Kate's head.
"Let him go," she steadily.
"You couldn't do it before," Kate taunted as Allison looked back and forth between the two women," You can't do it now."
"You see that boy you have a gun pointed at means everything to me so go ahead Kate, try and pull that trigger but I'll put a bullet through you're skull before you can even blink," she said in an icy voice.
"You're bluffing," she challenged.
"Kate!" all of them turned to see Chris Argent pointing the gun at his sister," Listen to Evangeline. I know what you did. Now put the gun down."
"I did what I was told to do," she said and Ev looked to Chris who gave her a slight nod. He was on her side.
"You have bad odds, Kate," Ev taunted, pressing the gun closer to her head.
"Chris are you really going to let her put a gun on me," Kate accused.
"You're holding a gun at a sixteen year old boy with no proof he spilled human blood," Chris said," Now put the gun down or we put you down."
A loud growl sounded and the door to the Hale house flung open.
"Allison, get back!" Chris called to his daughter.
"It's the Alpha," Scott said and he came out in a blur of speed. Ev put her gun back and picked up her bow.
"Come on!" Kate screamed, shooting into the air, "Come on!"
Ev felt something whiz past her and both Scott and Chris were knocked down. Kate was dragged into the Hale house and both Ev and Allison went after her.
The two girls saw Peter Hale holding Kate with his claws around her neck. A terrified look was on her face and Ev aimed and arrow at the alpha. She knew she wouldn't be able to get a clear shot, but it was worth it.
"Let her go, Peter!" Ev commanded him, keeping the bow steady and stood in front of Allison.
Peter laughed and it echoed through the house," You'd defend her after everything she's done. You think she can be redeemed."
"I think everyone can," she said," Everyone can be redeemed. You don't have to kill her to get justice. Show her mercy. Show Kate kindness. Show her what being merciful looks like and she'll see the mistake she's made. You don't have to be a killer Peter."
"Yeah, I kind of do," he said and looked to Allison," She is beautiful, Kate. She looks like you. Probably not as damaged. So I'm going to give you a chance to save her. Apologize. Say that you're sorry for decimating my family, for leaving me burned and broken for six years. Say it– And I'll let her live."
"I'm sorry," Kate whispered, shaking in fear.
Ev watched in horror as Peter ripped her throat out with his claws and she fell to the ground with a permanent look of shock on her face. Allison let out a sob behind her and Ev kept her arrow on him.
"I don't know about you Allison, but that apology didn't sound very real," he said beginning to stalk towards them, but Ev pushed the girl further behind her," Move out of the way Evangeline and let me get my justice."
"She didn't do anything to you!" Ev yelled," Take another step and this goes through your heart."
"They're all guilty," Peter yelled and his eyes glowed red.
"I'm not letting you hurt her," Ev said, forcing her voice steady.
"Shame," Peter said and came closer," You're next."
Before he could come closer Scott was in front of them and Derek came in with him, stalking around the alpha.
"Run!" Scott told them.
"Come on!" Ev said and pulled Allison out. They made it down the porch steps as Chris Argent was getting back up. Allison ran to her father and embraced him.
"My sister?" he asked her and Ev shook her head with sad eyes.
"I'm sorry," she said and Chris nodded.
"Thank you," Allison said, turning to Ev and wiping away tears," For trying to save her."
"I meant it Allison," Ev said to her," Anyone can be redeemed. Don't let other people influence what you think and who you are. Find out for yourself. Scott loves you. Don't let that go."
Allison nodded and smiled lightly," Are they going to be okay?"
"I don't know," she said," but Peter Hale is after your family. You two need to get out of here."
"Come on Allison," Chris said just as Scott was thrown the window with a crash, Peter after him in full wolf form. He picked Scott up by the neck and he kicked him away.
A car pulled up and Stiles and Jackson came out of it. Stiles threw a bottle of something and Peter caught it.
"Oh damn!" she heard Stiles scream and she raised her bow and shot the vile. It broke and combusted into flames on his arm.
Jackson threw another bottle and Peter's whole body went up in flames. He started towards Ev but she let lose another arrow, hitting him in the leg and then another and another pushing him back away from them until he stumbled to his knees and reverted back to his human form, his whole body burned. She stalked closer to him and kneeled down beside him. The smell of burnt flesh made her nauseated.
"What do you want?" Peter managed to hiss out in pain.
"You shouldn't have to die alone," she said quietly," Not like this."
Peter looked at her, his eyes soft," Your mother was just like you. So kind to everyone."
"Thank you for telling me that," she whispered.
"It's probably what got her ripped to shreds," he growled coldly, his eyes glowing red and she scrambled away from him as Derek began walking towards Peter and kneeled above his dying uncle.
Scott ran over to them," Wait! You said the cure comes from the one who bit you. Derek. If you do this, I'm dead. Her father, her family– what am I supposed to do?"
Ev looked from Scott to Derek and she saw the look in his eyes. She knew what he was going to do.
"You've– already– decided. I can smell it on you!" Peter whispered.
"Derek you can't," she said, but he didn't seem to hear him as he raised his hand, his claws extended.
"No!"both she and Scott yelled as he ripped through Peter's throat. Ev looked away and when she looked back, Derek's now red eyes were on her.
He looked back to the devastated beta and growled in a voice she didn't recognize," I'm the Alpha now."
TEEN WOLF
Everyone except Derek and Ev had cleared out of the Hale property. Ev sat patiently in her car as she waited for Derek to finish hiding his uncle's body.
She reached out her hand to turn down the heater but she saw it was shaking uncontrollably. She fisted her hand and willed it to stop just as Derek opened the passenger door. She jumped and took a deep breath to calm herself as he got in.
"The bodies taken care of," he said," I left Kate's out so she'll probably take the fall for it all."
She nodded without looking at him.
"Is this about what Kate told you?" he asked, moving to put his hand over hers but she moved away and he pulled his hand back," I didn't tell you because I was ashamed. I got my family killed."
"It's not about that," she managed to choke out. Still staring at her steering wheel.
"Then what?"
She finally looked at him," You took away Scott's only chance at saving himself."
Derek sighed and didn't answer.
"What no answer?" she asked, the levy finally breaking," No answer as to why you would take away the only hope Scott had!"
He still said nothing.
"You're an alpha now, huh?" she asked," What happens now? You already killed someone so you're on the fast track to becoming just like Peter."
"You know I'm not like him," he said quickly.
"Do I?"she asked loudly," Because I didn't know you were fucking Kate or that you would kill Peter, become the alpha, and ruin Scott's life. I didn't know that you'd kidnap my Dad. You just keep on surprising me, Derek and not in a good way."
"I had to kill him, Ev," he said," He took the only family he had left from me."
"You had me!" she yelled," and that should have been enough for you instead of revenge."
"You are enough for me," he said, turning her face to look at him," You're more than enough."
She scoffed and yanked away from him," Get out of my car, Derek."
"Ev-" he began.
"Just get out!" she yelled and he did as he was told and she sped away.
TEEN WOLF
Ev opened the door to her house and her father was waiting for her. He got up from his chair.
"What happened?"
She gave a bitter laugh," Kate Argent was killed by Peter Hale and Peter Hale was killed by Derek which not only made him the alpha but took away Scott's only chance at a cure."
"Are you alright?" her father asked.
"Oh and I'm not sure but I think I broke up with Derek," she said lastly," I'm tired so I'm going to bed."
"Sweetheart," her father said as she was heading up the stairs and she turned back to look at him," You didn't answer my question. Are you alright?"
"I'll let you know in the morning," she said and continued back up the stairs and into her room. She closed the door and dropped all her weapons onto the ground and pushed them under the bed. She peeled off the gloves and set them on her nightstand.
"I thought I kicked you out?" she said to the empty room that she knew Derek was in.
The light flicked on and she turned to see Derek behind the door," You shouldn't leave your window open."
"What do you want?" she asked, turning to him.
"We can't be over," he said, stalking towards her.
"Well we are," she replied.
"No we're not," he countered.
"Newsflash Derek. I'm not Scott or Stiles. You can't bully me into submission."
"I'm not."
"Yeah you are. You come into my room and wait for me in the dark and then you menacingly tell me we're not over while you tower over me. That may work with the teenagers but guess what I'm-"
He shut her up with a kiss and she pushed him away.
"Don't do that. Don't think that'll work this time or any other time again," she said, staring him in the eye.
"I love you," he said and she froze.
"What?" she whispered.
"I love you," he said again with no hesitation," Evangeline Deaton, I love you."
She shook her head furiously. She knew it. Deep down she knew it, but she couldn't bring herself to believe it or say it to him in this moment when it counted the most.
"Take it back," she said angrily.
"No," he said, leaning in close to her. He kissed her softly on the forehead, then the cheek, then the lips.
"What are you doing?" she asked quietly, unmoving.
"I love you," he said and placed a kiss to her neck.
"Derek stop," she said, involuntarily moving her hands into his hair.
"I love you," he said, kissing her collarbone.
"Derek please just stop it," she begged, her resolve fading.
"I love you," he said, kissing back up her neck. She tilted her head to give him better access.
"I love you," she slipped out and froze. Derek looked her in the eye.
"I love you," she repeated and they collided in a kiss. She fell back onto the bed with him on top of her and they ripped off each other's clothes in a hurry. Every time there lips were apart it was only for a second.
He thrusted into her slowly and she pulled away from him for breath as he kissed down her neck. His thrust were slow and torturous, hitting that spot inside over and over again ever so slowly.
"I love you," Derek whispered in her ear," I love you so much."
His hand found hers and he held it tight as they fell deeper and deeper into each other. She found her release over and over again in his arms, holding him tight as he told her he loved her each time. They fell back into the pillows when they were done, entangled in each other after making love.
"It's over ,Ev," Derek said," I'm gonna keep you safe now that I'm stronger. No one is going to hurt you ever again."
"I know," she whispered to him, kissing him softly.
"I love you," he said.
"And I love you," she repeated back to him and they fell asleep with each other's words in their heads.
TEEN WOLF
Ev woke up to the sound of her cell phone ringing. She slowly maneuvered her way from Derek and wrapped her robe around her while she walked into her bathroom and shut the door. She answered the unknown call.
"Evangeline Deaton speaking," she said, sitting on the sink.
"It's Chris Argent."
She froze," What do you want?"
"Are we talking privately?" he asked and she turned on the water to drown out her voice from Derek.
"Yes," she said.
"I saw the skill you had last night," he said," We could use that."
"Whose we?" she asked.
"The hunters," he replied," Not all of us are like Kate."
"And why should I?" she asked," You've caused nothing but trouble for me and my father."
"Because we could help you find your mother's killer," he replied," If you're interested than give me a call at this number. I'll be waiting."
The line went dead and she turned off the water and went back out. Derek was still asleep and she slowly crept over to him and back into bed.
"Why'd you get up?" he asked, pulling her back to hi, still half asleep.
"Got a call," she replied and stared out her window," Everything's alright. I'm alright."
"I love you," he said, drifting back to sleep.
"I love you too," she said distantly. Yeah, everything was alright.
