(Allison's POV)
My dad and I have recently returned from a family trip. After everything that happened with Gerard and what I did to my friends, I needed to get away to clear my head. Even though my dad assured me that what happened wasn't really my fault but the fault of Gerard for manipulating me after my mother's death, I can't get over it. I willingly helped torture kids my own age because they are different than me and that's not something that I can just forget.
After some deep conversation and thinking my dad has decided to give up hunting completely, which I have to say I'm happy about. I do however want us to try and repair the treaty between us and the Hale pack. Not only because of what my family has done to Derek and Peter but also because I don't want anything to happen to them. After I moved here Lydia became one of my best friends along with Jackson and Stiles; I don't want to lose their friendship because they're in a werewolf pack. My dad surprisingly agreed with me; it seems like I'm not the only one with some guilt about our family history with the Hales. Knowing that it would be a bad idea for us to just show up at the Hale property I texted Lydia and asked her to talk to Derek for me. I figured it was a long shot, but he surprisingly agreed.
(Chris POV)
I was shocked when Allison told me that Derek agreed to meet with us at the Hale property, but he had the stipulation that we come unarmed. I know that he doesn't trust us and admittedly he has had no reason to so I agreed to his terms. Over the past few months Allison and I left time to collect our thoughts and think over what has happened the past few months. It seems like everything that I was taught has been a lie.
Growing up I was taught that all werewolves were creatures to be feared and hunted, but Derek Hale showed me that that wasn't true. Derek killed his own uncle, the only family he had left, to stop more humans from being killed. He found people who were hurting or alone or in need of help and gave them a way out through the bite. He never did any of this in pursuit of revenge on my family or to hurt anyone. But it seems like none of that mattered to Kate or my father.
I almost allowed my daughter to become Gerard's prodigy because I was blinded by my own ignorance and that's not something that I know I couldn't have lived with. He kidnapped and tortured three teenagers and in that moment I stopped seeing him as my father, but as the monster he always told me werewolves were. I can't change what he did, but I can try my best to stop it from happening again. I decided to give up hunting and agreed with Allison when she spoke of repairing the treaty with the Hales. The past can't be changed, but the future can at least be made a little safer.
I know Allison feels the need to apologize to Derek and his pack in her part of the events that have happened as do I. I just hope and pray that Derek is willing to listen and let us make amends.
