Sorry for skipping so far ahead in the finale, but I kind of just want to get to this part already! Review please
"Not yet sweetheart", Gerard said, walking out of the shadows. Behind him was James and…Mason. My heart sunk.
"Hailey!" Mason yelled, about to run to me but James stopped him. I looked away from him.
"What're you doing?" Allison asked from where the Kanima was holding her.
"He's doing what he came here to do", Scott replied. I was still avoiding Mason's gaze.
"So you know?" Gerard asked. He began talking about the night where we were held hostage.
"He's dying", Isaac commented, leading Gerard to reveal the truth. He had cancer and wanted to become a werewolf to cure himself.
"Mason, why are you here?" I asked.
"I don't know; James said he needed me!" he said.
I turned my gaze towards James, waiting for an explanation. "Gerard is going to kill all of you. I need to protect my pack. So I made a deal with him".
"Scott", Gerard said. I looked over at where my brother stood. He looked back from Derek to Allison. I realized it was time for him to make a choice. He walked over and grabbed Derek.
"There is no competing with young love", Gerard's words rang in my head as Derek was forced to give him the bite. Gerard held up his hand victoriously. Slowly, some black substance began seeping out of various places in his body.
"I had a plan too", Scott said.
"Mountain ash!" he yelled right before that black liquid spurted out of his mouth. I closed my eyes in horror.
"Kill them. Kill them all!" Gerard screamed. It was time for the fight that we all knew would be coming. I knew in my heart that after this, nothing would be the same.
Stiles drove through the wall in his car. Jackson jumped on the car, trying to attack him when I took out the dagger that Derek gave me and tried to get him. Stiles got away safely. Jackson hissed at me, getting ready to fight me when James interrupted. "Stand down", he warned me.
"Never", I responded. He took out his claws and began to come at me. As soon as he aimed that first punch, Derek appeared in front of him and blocked it.
"Stop!" screamed Mason.
"Mason, get over here", James ordered. Mason shook his head, causing James to scream, "Now!"
Mason whimpered in pain and slowly walked over to us. James' eyes were glowing red and I realized he was controlling Mason. James and Derek engaged in a fight while Mason and I just stared at each other. "I don't want to fight you", he whispered.
"I don't want to fight you either. But we're on different sides, Mase", I responded. He nodded and looked down. Everybody froze when suddenly Derek walked away. He sunk his claws into Jackson from the front, as did Peter from the back. We couldn't tear our eyes away from the incredibly intimate moment between Jackson and Lydia. Jackson sunk to the floor. As everyone couldn't help but shed a few tears, Jackson rose and let out a roar. He was a werewolf now. And somehow, with that, everything was resolved.
"We're sorry for all the trouble we caused with Gerard and everything. We'll get out of your way", James said, looking at Derek. "We're going to Georgia", this time it was directed as Mason. "And we leave tomorrow morning". With that, he left. Mason ran over and held me.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know about any of this", he whispered.
"It's okay Mason. It's not your fault", I mumbled into his shoulder, unable to stop the tears that were flowing. I grabbed his hand and we walked back to my house in silence. We went upstairs to my room. He took off his sweatshirt and I took off my leather jacket. We both took off our shoes and crawled into the bed. I leaned in and kissed him. Our kisses portrayed everything we felt for each other. His hands found the bottom of my shirt and he pulled it off.
"Are you sure?" I whispered. He nodded and kissed me again. I got on top of him and took off his shirt. His hands settled on my waist and mine around his neck. One by one we pulled off each other's clothes. It was slow and passionate and beautiful. After we were done, we spent the whole night holding each other and savoring every moment we had left. Eventually, we fell asleep. We woke up with my head on his chest and his arms around me. I was wearing his black Vans sweatshirt. I kissed him. "I love you".
"I love you too". That was all that need to be said. It was unspoken, but we were letting each other go. Our love was good and pure, but we couldn't stay together. One last long, passionate kiss somehow made it official that we were over. And it gave us the strength to walk away.
Derek POV
I had seen everything last night. They had spent their last night together. Even though I was jealous, I knew she needed this to let him go. They both needed it. In the morning, I could hear them saying their final goodbyes. He walked out of her room, out of her house, and out of her life. After he left, I heard her crying. I slipped into her room. Nothing needed to be said. I put my arm around her, and she cried into my shoulder. And I would stay with her, comforting her, guarding her, protecting her, until she had the strength to move on.
