35-Who?
Ashlee's p.o.v
"Get your fucking hands off me!" I warn but i'm soon surrounded by a purple powder. It chokes me, refusing to let me shift and kill this kid already. He's been following me, threatening me, this all has to stop.
"Not so fast McCall" the tall, dark boy that claimed he knew Allison, the one I saw at the supermarket, says as he reveals himself from inside a stall. "Did you really think you could keep the fact that you're a werewolf a secret?" the boy says with a dark chuckle. "We know about you, about your brother, about Derek. I'm going to kill all of you"
"F-fuck you!" I bark at him weakly.
"Allison's Dad used to train me, to be a hunter. I found the code to be..useless. Why should any of you be allowed to live? Exactly, you shouldn't be. I won't let you" he warns. That must be how he knows Allison.
"Your not touching my brother or-or Derek" I ground out.
"You don't have a choice" Jax pipes up.
"I have a choice" I say, slowly puling myself up. Jax stomps on my back, sending me to the ground again. Before I can call for help, the two begin beating me. Kicking me, punching, i'm sure one of them uses a knife at some point. My body stops fighting, i'm too weak. I just lay down and let them do whatever they want. When the bell that signals the end of the period and the start of lunch goes, the two boys run off, leaving me bloody and broken on the floor of the boy's bathroom.
"We'll be back" Jax sneers before leaving with the other boy.
"Scott?" I call out weakly. I wait. I can hear all the other kids out on the fields and courts. "Scott!" I yell weakly. A few moments pass and Scott's running through the bathroom door.
"Ash?!" he yells, coming to my side. He takes my hand and starts leaching away my pain.
"You-you're safe" I say, reaching up and stroking his cheek. "I..i'm so glad you-you're safe" I say. My head lolls to the side, i'm losing conciousness.
"Ash? Ash! Stay with me!" Scott demands.
"Is-is Derek safe?" I ask him.
"Derek's fine Ash. Who the hell did this to you?" Scott asks. Before I can answer, the darkness takes me.
..
I open my eyes, immediately closing them again when I find the sun shining in my face. I groan as I try to move, my whole body aches.
"Lie still" a voice at my side says. I lay back down and turn my head to see Derek. His hands are covering half his face and he looks concerned. Scott must have heard I was awake because he comes running into the room, which I now see is Derek's.
"Ash?! Ash, are you okay?" Scott asks, checking me over, sitting beside me on Derek's bed.
"I'm fine-" with one look at Derek and Scott's faces, I correct myself. "I'm okay"
"What happened? Who did this to you?" Scott keeps asking me questions, I can feel a headache forcing it's way to the front of my eyes.
"Scott. SCOTT" Derek gets Scott's attention. "She needs to rest, we'll figure it out later" he tells Scott.
"I want to know now!" Scott barks at Derek. "I'm going to find them and-" I stop Scott by pulling him onto the bed with me. I don't like seeing Scott like this, he's usual calm, kind-hearted.
"Shhh" I whisper, nuzzling into him. This is my problem..they don't need to help me. Noone says anything after that. I drift back off to sleep.
..
I watched Jax and the other boy slash at Derek and Scott. Both were chained up and unable to move. I tried to scream but my mouth was covered with tape. I tried to run towards them, to help them, but I was chained to a metal pillar. I yell behind the tape, scream for them to stop but they can't hear me, even if they can, they don't care. I try to rip the binds off as blood pours from Derek's chest. Tears dribble down my cheeks when blood drips from Scott's arms. 'Save us Ashlee!'. 'Help us! Please help us!'. 'Do something?!'. Scott and Derek's pleas for me to help them bounce around my skull. I can't do anything, NOTHING. I can't move, can't make a sound, can't do a thing. All I can do is cry. Cry and hope this ends, pray that they'll be okay, that they'll survive this, that those two will burn in hell for what they've done.
I wake up gasping. Sweat dripping down my forehead. My chest heaving.
"Ash, calm down" Scott says, shooting up with me. I shake my head, I can't breath. "Okay, Ash, count with me" Scott knows the drill, he used to help me when we were younger. We start counting. I can only get to 5. "You can do it Ash, keep going" Scott cheers me on.
"No, I-I can't. Get-get Derek" I tell Scott. Scott looks at me doubtfully. "Please Scott, get h-him" Scott calls out for Derek. Only a few seconds later, Derek is at my side along with Cora.
"What's happening?" Derek asks, his voice laced with worry.
"Panic-panic a-attack" I manage to say.
"I need you two to leave, make sure the rest of the pack stay out as well" Derek says turning to Cora and Scott.
"I'm not leaving her-" Scott objects, Cora nods.
"P-please" I plead, breathing becoming very difficult. "Please you guys, D-Derek can help, p-please" i'm all but gasping now. Derek manages to get Cora and Scott out.
"Nightmare?" Derek asks. I nod quickly. "You need to breath Ash, take deep breaths, in and out" Derek says softly.
"I-I-I can't, D-Derek I can't" I say, frightened.
"You CAN" Derek corrects, taking my hands in his. "In" he says. I take a shaky breath in. "Out" I splutter trying to exhale. "Hey, hey, calm down, i've got you" Derek comforts, rubbing my back. "Out" he repeats. I let out a long breath. "In" Derek repeats. I suck in a deep breath through my nose. "Out" he says. I let the breath out through my nose. We repeated that 5 more times until my breathing returned to normal. We were silent for awhile, just the sound of my breathing heard in the room. I wiped the sweat and the tears from my face. "You okay?" Derek asks softly.
"I-I think so" I say, still slightly startled. Maybe this 'problem' is too much for me to handle alone. Derek's hands don't leave mine.
"Do you want me to get Scott?" Derek asks.
"Not yet..I don't like him seeing me like this. It's been a couple years since I had a night terror like this" I say, slightly embarassed.
"It's nothing to be embarassed about..can I uh..can I ask what it was about?" he asks carefully.
"Was uh..about what happened..at the school..what they said" I mumbled.
"What who said? What did they say?" Derek asks softly, trying not to push me to much.
"It was Jax again..he had a hunter with him, one that knows Allison, he was tall and had dark skin, brown hair..I just..I don't know who he was" I tell Derek quietly. I can see the anger bubbling up on his face.
"Jax and a hunter did that to you?" Derek asked with that calm-angry voice people use when they're trying not to lash out.
"Yes..they promised to come for you and Scott as well. I can't let that happen-"
"It won't happen, I won't let them hurt Scott or you again" Derek promises.
"What about you?" I ask him, looking up at him.
"I'll keep you and Scott safe from them, the rest of the pack too" Derek avoids the questions.
"I'll keep you two safe, this is my problem, i'll handle it" I say.
"No, it isn't. We're going to help you, i'm going to help you" Before I can say anything, Scott comes back into the room.
"Can I come back in?" Scott asks, his head bowed. I nod with a smile and Scott comes back over to the bed, sitting down. Derek excuses himself and goes back into the lounge.
..
Derek's p.o.v
I stalk over to Allison. She turns to me in suprise.
"Tall. Brown skin. Dark hair. He's a hunter, he knows you, what's his name?" I ask her, getting straight to the point.
"I-I don't know who you're talking about Derek?" she answers, she's telling the truth.
"Is there someway we could find out?" I ask her.
"I don't think so..I don't hunt anymore. I'm sorry Derek..is something wrong?" Allison asks me, her eyebrows burrowing. I know the rest of the pack are listening in.
"He was one of the two boys that attacked Ash at the school today" I explain in a growl.
"How's she doing?" Stiles asks immediately.
"She's sleeping in the room" I tell him. "The other attacker was Jax" I tell the rest of the pack.
"What are we going to do about this? We're not just gonna let them get away with this?" Malia growls.
"No, we're not, but one of them is a hunter. He knows what she is, possibly what we are. We have to tread lightly..remember the alpha pack..Jennifer.." I say quietly. The pack nod and agree. "Scott and I will figure something out" I tell them, we can't immediantly go after them, as much as we all want too, Scott and I especially.
..
Ashlee's p.o.v
Scott and I listened in to what Derek was telling the pack. Scott turned to me.
"I'm okay, really" I assure him.
"He's really protective of you.." Scott states.
"He is..so are you"
"Do the pack know about..you know? The two of you..?" Scott asks quietly.
"Uh..no. Only you and Mum do..we want to keep it that way until we figure us out. So..if you could keep it to yourself.." I say with a smile.
"Sure, anything"
"That uh..that means no Stiles"
"No Stiles?"
"No Stiles..sorry" I say with a shrug. I know it will be hard for Scott but I hope he can keep it a secret, just for now.
"Well, that's gonna be a problem.." Scott says.
"Scott, you didn't!" I whine.
"I sort of..did"
..
Stiles' p.o.v
"When can we go in and see her?" I ask Derek.
"Give her the rest of the day, only Scott and I for now..just to watch over her" Derek tells me. I roll my eyes with a scoff.
"Of course, only the brother and the boyfriend can see the patient" I say. All the eyes in the loft are on me. "What?" I ask them.
..
Ashlee's p.o.v
"Scott!" I complain. Then I hear Stiles.
"Of course, only the brother and the boyfriend an see the patient" Uh oh.
"Shit. Sorry Ash" Scott says quietly, looking down. I peek my head around to look into the main room. Everyone is gaping at Stiles.
"What?" he asks innocently.
"Did you say boyfriend?" Cora asks, looking straight at me.
"Yeah?" Stiles says, still oblivious.
"As in Derek? Derek and Ash are dating?" Lydia asks. Stiles finally seems to understand that noone knew. He looks from Derek to me.
"Uhhhhh..no?" Stiles says, his voice going higher, clearly indicating he's lying.
"Nice save Stilinski, thanks alot" I yell out, giving him the thumbs up.
"How was I supposed to know you didn't want the pack knowing?" Stiles yells back.
"You didn't want us to know?" Isaac asks. "Is that why you didn't come over for pack night?" I get out of bed now, with Scott's help, coming to stand by Derek.
"No, look, noone was supposed to know okay?. Scott and Mum found out and Scott, stupidly, told Stiles. We wanted to keep it between us until we figured all of this out" I explain, pointing between Derek and I. "But..now you all know so..fire at will" I say with a sigh. Lydia is the first to step forward.
"I'm really glad you're alright Ash" she says and hugs me. I'm completely taken by suprise when the pack come up to me, tell me they're glad i'm alright and promise to hunt Jax and the other boy down. Not one of them teases me or Derek..well except for Cora.
"So" Cora starts, her hands crossed over her chest. "How long has this been going on for?" she asks.
"Less than a week" I tell her.
"I guess that's okay then" a smile breaks out on her face. "Don't fuck this up Derek" she says to Derek. "Now, i'm not ready to be an aunty yet so-" Cora starts.
"Cora" Derek warns her. My mouth just falls open. We have never, and probably won't for a long time, do that.
"Stay safe" Cora teases, immediantly running back over to where the pack are talking, discussing what we do about the hunter and Jax. She doesn't want to be around for Derek's reaction. I hear Derek growl at her and I turn to him, laughing to myself, this is how they used to be, teasing each other, arguing, fighting. I just wish the rest of them were still here. I turn back to the pack and I smile at them, they're all so caring. I've mostly put what happened with them behind me, just the threat towards Derek and Scott hanging over my head.
