So I was so excited to get all the reviews! I was like 'Wow! Derek gets injured and every fan girl wants to beat me senseless.' But don't worry I still love you all even if you want to take a baseball bat to my head, just for your information though, kill me and this story doesn't get finished… So keep me alive. So you all probably want to skip this and are screaming at the computer screen saying "WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU! WE CARE ABOUT DEREK!" but I will always leave long authors notes. They get me into the mood to write, or type if it's already been written. Oh hey, I need glasses. My right eye is horrible and my left eye is fine. Doesn't that just suck? I might find a way to get contacts though… stay tuned for future chapters to see what happens. Also this chapter goes from Chloe's point of view to Bailey's and then back to Chloe's.

DISCLAIMER: *Johnny is currently being comforted by Tori*

Tori: It's okay Johnny. It'll all be okay. *Pats his back reassuringly*

Johnny: She's evil! She doesn't even o-own Darkest Powers! *sobbing and hiccupping*

Tori: I know. I know it belongs to Kelley Armstrong. We all know.

Me: Yes unfortunately we do.


Chloe's Point Of View

Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god. This wasn't happening. But it was. What broke?

"Derek! DEREK!" I shouted, I was freaking out, In no way was this normal.

The blood kept coming out of Derek's mouth. He looked like he was choking on it or something. He can't breathe properly, I realized. WHAT THE FUCK!? Oh my god, I need to get someone. Tara, Johnny or hell even Ricky! Johnny's closer.

"J-J-JOHNNY!" I screamed as loud as I could. I didn't know if he could hear me but I wasn't going to leave Derek.

A few minutes after that and countless screams later, Johnny showed up with Tara right behind him. Derek was beginning to lose consciousness.

"What happened?" Johnny asked, freaking out.

"H-H-He wa-a-as ch-chang-in-ng a-a-and th-en t-t-thi-s happened." I said, stuttering and sobbing. I couldn't not cry. Forget about being brave, I couldn't be.

"Johnny get Bailey." Tara said, eyeing Derek.

"What?" Johnny asked.

"NOW!" Tara screamed, Johnny took off running.

"Don't touch him." Tara said.

"W-W-What's-s w-w-wro-n-ng w-w-with D-Derek?" I asked.

"I don't know but Bailey can heal and sense injuries, so we need to wait for her. But from what I can tell he definitely has a back injury of some kind." Tara said.

Really? I didn't know. Note the sarcasm.

"She c-c-can h-h-h-heal all this-s-s?" I asked

"Not all of it, but possibly some, at any rate she should be able to help." Tara said.

"C-C-Can't we t-t-take him to a h-hospital?"

"He's a werewolf Chloe. They have different blood, different DNA. They wouldn't know how to help him, and they'd find out he wasn't human." Tara said.

It made sense but he needed help now. The next twenty minutes felt like torture. It felt like every second was a year. Derek needed help now. Tara checked to see if Derek was breathing. He was, but barely and he was having difficulty. Derek was hunched over on his side. Tara and I were too scared to move him.

Finally Bailey astral projected herself to us. "Johnny is running back, and Simon refused to stay there, so he's coming as well." Bailey said.

"W-W-Who c-c-c-cares h-h-hel-l-lp D-Derek." I said.

Bailey walked over and looked at Derek. Derek was caught somewhere between human and wolf, too weak and injured to continue with the change, and too weak to change back into a human. His ears were different, his eyes were as well, and his hands had fur and were more like paws.

Bailey touched two points in Derek's neck and a little more blood came out of his mouth. At first I thought she caused it but he breathed a little better so he might've been choking on it. Only a little though, he still couldn't breathe to well. His face was turning a different colour, something like a red-purple colour.

"Some thoracic vertebrae are broken, though there seems to be no spinal cord damage. The real problem are his ribs and lungs though. He seems to have multiple broken ribs, to the point where the broken ribs have pressed in on his lungs. His right lung has been punctured, which is probably accounting for the vomiting up blood. As well as his left lung has been bruised." Bailey said.

"His vertebrae though, we need to be careful not to let the broken bones put pressure on the nerve or spinal cord, as well it is bad enough to need fixing." Bailey said, finishing her assessment.

Simon, Johnny, and now Ricky showed up. As soon as they saw Derek they all turned some shade of sick. Ricky looked pale, Johnny looked beyond stressed, and Simon looked terrified and looked like he was going to throw up.

"What c-c-can w-w-we d-do?" I asked.

"Shamans usually heal with herbs, but Bailey has some good healing powers too. She can fix some stuff, but it will drain her. Fixing all of this would kill her." Tara said bluntly.

Bailey looked like she was calculating what she would do. "We can't help him much out here. We need to move him." Bailey said.

"WHAT!?" Johnny, Ricky, Simon, Tara and I screamed.

"Johnny knows a freezing spell, it's harmless to use on people and would freeze his body and injuries, while Tara, Ricky, and Simon levitate spell him into the house. We are risking his injuries getting worse out here." Bailey explained.

"She has a point. Johnny freeze him, focus." Tara said.


Half an hour later Derek was inside the safehouse. He was on the floor of his and Simon's bedroom, we didn't want to risk him falling off the bed in pain so we put some blankets on the floor and laid him down on his side. We had been able to get him to the safe house safely. Johnny had unfrozen Derek so now he was back to his medical problems. Bailey was deciding what to heal that would help Derek the most. She had been rambling to herself for five minutes already.

"Heal the lungs first? No that would be pointless if the ribs aren't repaired, and they need to be. So ribs first? No, then I wouldn't have enough power for the lungs and atleast a partial fix of the vertebrae. I wouldn't even have enough power for the lungs maybe. I can't just forget about something. His lungs are in bad condition. He does have faster healing but how what can he wait to have healed?" Bailey said, thinking out loud.

Somewhere in the middle of her ramblings Simon bolted out of the room. What the hell? It's his brother here injured.

"Be back in a second, I need to get something." Bailey muttered, leaving the room.


Bailey's Point Of View

I was stressed out. After this Andrew better be getting a hot tub. I need to think focus, focus. Heal the lungs first? No that would be pointless if the ribs aren't repaired, and they need to be. So ribs first? No, then I wouldn't have enough power for the lungs and atleast a partial fix of the vertebrae. I wouldn't even have enough power for the lungs maybe. I can't just forget about something. His lungs are in bad condition. He does have faster healing but how what can he wait to have healed? I noticed that Simon ran out of the room. Oh hell no. It is his brother here. He has to suck it up and be there for his brother even if Derek is unconscious, because Derek needs him.

I muttered that I would be back in a second and went out after him. I found Simon sitting on the steps. I walked down a few steps and sat down next to him.

"Simon." I said.

Simon turned to face me, he was crying.

"He's my brother. He's the one who kicks the ass of anyone who tries to hurt me no matter what it does to him. The one who tries to cover up what really goes on to protect me, even though I hate it. The one who sacrifices so much for everyone else and believes all he needs is his family and Chloe to be happy. The one who can never catch a break in this thing we call life." Simon said.

"Isn't that more of a reason to be in that room right now?" I asked.

"I can't. I don't know why but I can't. It's like I can't see him like that. Weak and defenceless and so un-Derek-like. He's the tough one. I can't listen to all this talk of vertebrae and puntures when it comes to him." Simon said.

"Everyone can be weak and defenceless, we all have that side of us. We all need to be taken care of once in a while. Please come with me into that room, because Derek needs you there, even if he can't say it because he's unconscious right now. You and Chloe are really all he has." I said.

"Like I said I can't but please. Don't let him die, find a way to heal him, and don't let yourself die either.

Chloe burst out of the room and screamed "B-BAILEY!"

"Here!" I shouted back.

Chloe gave Simon a glare and turned to me. "His l-l-lung c-collapsed."

I turned to Simon and said, "Don't think about what you can handle, think about what he can't."


Chloe's Point Of View

Bailey followed me back to where Derek was now having extreme trouble breathing, while still being unconscious and partially wolf. She was trying to think logically within what she could do and what she couldn't.

"Oh fuck logic." Bailey said, and started healing, it was kind of like a whitish-pink glow was taking over Bailey's body. It covered her face and her hands and wrapped around her like a smokey mist.

"Okay partial healing on the ribs, just enough to prevent pressure on the lungs, but not enough to completely heal. The lungs, okay we need a lot of healing but can't do fully, and at the same time I need to heal the vertebrae but not completely enough, he better not make plans to get up for the next week." Bailey mumbled.

As Bailey continued healing I noticed changes in her appearance. She looked tired, there we circles under her eyes getting darker the longer she kept up her healing. Her hands started to shake and she kept blinking as if trying to stay awake or see properly.

Two things happened at the same time. The first is that the door opened and Simon came in, and the second is that Bailey blacked out.


Another cliff hanger, I feel so amazingly evil. So just to inform you I WILL NEVER KILL DEREK. That is a spoiler, but yeah I figured I should just tell you. So... did anybody else like the chapter? Hmm? Let me know... also, just for some help, Bailey is the shaman I want her to be so if she doesn't fit in as to what shamans are deal with it, I think she's awesome, and she's genetically altered so she can do anything. Sorry for injuring Derek but I found it unrealistic that there would be so much worry and threats of what to come of his future changes and nothing bad was to happen. Also little point to make, Derek's injuries are serious. Lungs really shouldn't be taking that much pain and pressure. So the next update will be this friday, yep I know, a few days away, but I have two tests, two projects, and a book to read so I need some time. Enjoy!!!
