It's been about a week since Derek left, I texted him and he hasn't gotten back,
' This is Derek, you know what to do' His messenger told me, it beeped and I sighed at this,
" Hey, it's me, where are you? I thought you would be back by now. But just letting you know, I'm ok, see you soon, I love you" I told the phone, I then hung up, I
see it's around 4 pm, I've been sleeping a lot more, I am almost ready to pop as Stiles puts it, I was caught up on all my classes,
" God damn" I groaned as I felt the need to sleep, I was about to close my eyes, my phone rings, I see it's Stiles,
" Jace, get your pregnant ass down here at the Animal Clinic" Stiles voice told me through the phone, I groaned, I sat up, feeling more kicks.
" Good to see you care" I told him, I hung up, I got dressed, I wore a Henley that belonged to Derek, it was one that smelt heavily like him, I got my keys, going
downstairs and driving Derek's Camaro to the camaro, when I got there, I see that Scott is at the door, he opened it an I smiled, I go into the exam room, I see
Deaton smiling at me, I leaned on the metal table,
" It sounds like your subconscious is trying to communicate with you." Deaton told Stiles, wait what was going on with the three?
" Well, how do I tell my subconscious to use a language that I actually know?" Stiles replied, I crossed my arms, concerned as I had a chill going up my spine, that
only happens when a threat is close,
" Do you remember what the sign language looked like? The placement and movement of the hands?" I asked my cousin, he nods at me, but I see Scott concerned,
" You know sign language?" Scott asked me, I smirked at him,
" Being a HellCat, I know a bunch of languages" I replied to the True Alpha.
" Okay, the first one was like this. Then" Stiles said then preformed the movement of hands,
" That's "when." " I told him, then he does another movement of hands,
" That's door." I told him, seeing Deaton nod at my confirmation, I didn't need it, but it was reassuring,
" And this in between it." Stiles said as he did one last motion,
" That's it?" I asked him, my cousin nods at me and I sighed,
" "When is a door not a door?"" I told him, that's what this all lead up to, Stiles dragging me down for a damn riddle when I am about to pop at any fucking second? A
fucking riddle,
" "When is a door not a door"?" He asked me, I nodded then sat down, a harsh kick made me slightly wince,
" When it's ajar." Scott replied, I looked at Deaton,
" You're kidding me. A riddle? My subconscious wants to tell me a riddle?" Stiles asked in slight frustration,
" Not necessarily. When the three of you went under the water, when you crossed from unconsciousness to a kind of super-consciousness You essentially opened a
door in your minds." Deaton further explained the epidemic,
" So what does that mean? The door's still open?" Scott asked, Deaton then nodded, I felt like I was gonna pass out,
" Ajar." I voiced out, I see Stiles watching me, but turning his attention to Deaton,
" A door into our minds?" Stiles asked in slight confusion.
" I did tell you it was risky." Deaton told the two, I was becoming more and more frustrated,
" What do we do about it?" Scott asked as Deaton rubbed his head,
" Well, that's difficult to answer." Deaton replied to them.
" Oh, no, wait a second, I know that look. That's the "we know exactly what's wrong with you", "but we have no idea how to fix it" look." Stiles said in a frustrated
like tone,
" One thing I do know is that having an opening like that into your mind, it's not good. You each need to close that door. And you need to do it as soon as possible."
Deaton explained, it was slightly cryptic, but I think that each of them needs to overcome something, then the door will close, I got up with the help of Scott, they
lead me outside, where my uncle was waiting for us?
" Dad, what are you doing here?" Stiles asked as I see him with a look, his scent had confusion on it,
" I'm here because I could use some help." Noah said, but turned to Scott and I,
" Actually Your help." He said more clearly,
" Why us?" Scott asked as Noah sighed,
" Because eight years ago, almost an entire family died in a car accident. One of the bodies, a young girl named Malia, was never found. There's enough evidence to
have me thinking that That a werewolf could have caused the accident, and then dragged her body away. If you could somehow get a lock on her scent if you could
somehow help me find her body, it might provide the missing clue." Noah explained, I wish I can help, but I have to worry about baby Hale/Salvatore right now,
" But what if it was a werewolf?" I asked him,
" Well, there's somebody out there who murdered an entire family. Someone who still needs to be caught." Noah further explained,
" I wish I could help, but in my condition, I think its better to stay on the sidelines" I told him, he nods, Scott helps me to my car, I get in and drove to the loft, which
I called home., when I got there, I went up into the loft to see Isaac there,
" Hey, I thought you were staying at Scott's?" I asked him, he smiled and sat down and I laid in bed,
" Well I gotta watch over you" He explained to me, I sighed before smiling,
" Why?" I asked him, he rubbed the back of his head and smiled,
" Because I think of you as a guardian over me" He explained, I smiled, I got my phone and tried to reach Derek again, once again voicemail, I see Isaac go over to
the couch,
' This is Derek, you know what to do' His messenger told me, I sighed again,
" Hey it's me, still haven't gotten back to me, and I am worried about you, I am fine, but kinda worried, about you, can't help it with the bond we share, amoungst
other things" I said as I rubbed my bump, a kick happened,
" And someone else misses you as much as I do, so when you can get your sourwolven ass to answer me, I would appreciate it if you did, love you" I said before
hanging up my phone, I set it on the table near the bed, I take Derek's pillow and hold it to my body, my belly is over it and I inhale his scent, I feel tears going down
my eyes,
" Derek? Where are you?" I sobbed quietly, but I was sure Isaac could hear me cry or infact smell my tears, right now I didn't care, I just wanted Derek by my side
again, I then cried myself to a restless dead sleep.
Derek's POV
Peter and I are chained to a metal fence, being electrocuted, nothing new to me, but to Peter this might be, I'm pissed at him, I looked over at him,
" Why are you looking at me like this is my fault? " My uncle asked, I was enraged at him, my body glistening in sweat, I could be having a talk with my mate, but
Peter got a lead on our Hale Urn,
" Because it is your fault." I told him, we then got electrocuted again, but through the pain, I feel sadness through the bond and I hear faint crying, Jace's to be
exact,
" Derek? Where are you?" Her voice echoed in my mind, now I definitely have a reason to kill him, my uncle growled at this shocking experience,
" Yeah, you're probably right." He replied as we continued to get electrocuted.
