"Okay Katherine, you've got a lot of explaining to do!" Scott exclaimed once they had got back to Derek's loft.
"I know…I just don't even know where to start" She admitted.
"Well I know where to start. Why the hell didn't you stop him from leaving?!" Sam shouted.
"What? How could we?" Scott replied.
"There was 5 of you and one of him, personally I think those are pretty good odds" Sam insisted.
"He would have killed them!" Katherine exclaimed.
"I don't care!" Sam retorted.
"…I'm going to try tracking him down" Sam told them, walking out of the loft, slamming the door.
"Why is he so upset?" Lydia asked.
"Who do you think killed his family?" Katherine explained.
"Wait…your brother killed his entire family? Why?" Scott questioned.
"He was looking for something, information" Katherine told them.
"Did he get what he wanted?" Malia inquired.
"No…looks like he's still looking for it" Katherine sighed.
"So he's following your friend? No offence Katherine, but should he really be here if that's the case?" Scott questioned.
"Frankly I've got no idea why he's turned up. Sam has no idea about what he's looking for" Katherine told them.
"Was he wrong then? Did they not have the information?" Kira asked.
"They did, but he thought it was the wrong sibling. His younger sister was the only one who knew" Katherine explained.
"And…he killed her?" Scott questioned.
"Yep" Katherine sighed.
"Maybe it's not your friend he's looking for? Maybe it's you?" Malia questioned.
"Could be…" Katherine trailed off.
"Okay, question, I thought all your family were dead?" Lydia inquired.
"They are, all except for him" Katherine told her.
"…Were the memories that Kate gave you about him?" Derek asked.
"Mostly" Katherine exclaimed.
"What did you see?" Lydia questioned.
"Alright, I guess you guys would find out sooner or later. My brother's not exactly…human" Katherine admitted.
"Wait, what?" Scott asked.
"And neither am I" Katherine added.
"…Explain?!" Lydia insisted.
"Well I don't know much, my memory is still pretty muddled but basically my brother and I can't die. Like we're immortal or something" Katherine sighed.
"So would you have died when Allison shot you?" Derek asked.
"Nope, would have come back soon after" Katherine admitted.
"So I turned you into a werewolf for nothing" Derek realised.
"Okay, so is there anything else you can do…except for not dying?" Scott questioned.
"Probably, my brother seems to be able to do a lot" She admitted.
"What do you mean?" Lydia asked.
"Well let's just say to kill as many as he has, he has some tricks up his sleeve" Katherine sighed.
"So we're dealing with some sort of super charged psycho killer? Great" Lydia grimaced.
"…I think we all need some time to take this all in" Scott announced, standing up.
"Yeah, I'm pretty tired. Almost dying takes a lot out of you" Lydia added.
"Okay, I'll explain more tomorrow" Katherine told them.
"How's your hands?" Katherine asked, once they had all gone.
"They're fine" He replied.
"Let me see" Katherine said, as she sat on the table opposite where he was sitting and slowly took off the cloth from his hands.
"Derek! These look terrible!" Katherine exclaimed, as she looked at the burnt and bleeding hands.
"It looks worse than it is" Derek told her.
"Why aren't they healing?" She asked, as she stood up and got some water and a cloth.
"I take longer to heal now, but I do seem to be able to take on larger wounds" Derek admitted.
Katherine cautiously brought the wet cloth to Derek's hands, who flinched at the painful contact. She quickly got to work, cleaning the wounds which starting to heal slowly.
"You're not going to be able to use your hands very well tonight. Hopefully they will have healed by tomorrow. Is Braeden going to be here?" Katherine asked.
"No, she's working" Derek told her.
"Alright then, guess I'm staying here" Katherine said, taking her phone out and started texting Sam.
"Your friend's upset, you should go to him" Derek exclaimed.
"No, he probably needs a bit of time alone, it's not going to help me being there" Katherine explained.
"You really don't have to stay" Derek told her.
"I know, but I want to. We need to talk anyway" Katherine insisted, as she started wrapping bandages around Derek's hands.
"You know I didn't mean those things I said the other day, I was just angry" Derek explained.
"Well when people are angry they usually say things that they secretly think" Katherine told him.
"Katherine, I swear I don't really feel like that" He said, making her look him in the eye.
"Okay…" Katherine trailed off.
"I missed you…a lot" Derek admitted.
"I missed you too, I'm really sorry that I left…but I had to" Katherine explained.
"Because of your brother?" Derek questioned.
"He's my brother, so he's my responsibility" Katherine insisted.
"So are you going to try to help him?" Derek inquired.
"No way. I'm not giving that son of a bitch another chance, if I get the chance I'm putting him down." Katherine exclaimed.
"Are you sure you're up for that?" Derek asked.
"I've tried to kill him before, remember?" Katherine explained.
"Good point" Derek replied.
"There we go, all done" Katherine told him, as she moved to sit next to him.
"I forgive you for being a dick, in case you were worried. We have too many problems for me to be holding a grudge against you" Katherine smirked, as she pulled him into a hug.
She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and rested her head in the crook of his neck. She had missed him a lot more than she would admit. Derek carefully placed his hands on her waist, unable to move them much. Suddenly the phone rang, causing them both to pull away. Derek slowly picked the phone up and saw who the caller was.
"It's Braeden, I'll be back in a minute" Derek told her, as he walked off into the kitchen and answered.
"Hey, what's up?" Derek asked.
"Uh Derek…I…we need to talk" Braeden exclaimed.
"I was just thinking the same thing" Derek admitted.
"I don't think this thing we have is going to work out. I mean I'm constantly away working and then there's Katherine and everything…I'm sorry Derek, but I think it's for the best that we break up" Braeden explained.
"Really?" Derek asked, surprised.
"…Uh, so that wasn't the response I was expecting" He heard Braeden laugh.
"To be honest, I was going to call you saying the exact same thing" Derek told her.
"Seriously? Wow, aren't we a pair, huh?" Braeden joked.
"Yeah, we are" Derek sighed.
"I'll see you around Derek" Braeden exclaimed.
"Sure" Derek smiled, as he hung up.
He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and walked back into the room.
"So, I'm now single" Derek exclaimed, sitting back on the couch.
"Oh? How come?" Katherine asked.
"We just weren't right for each other. It wasn't going to work out" Derek explained.
"Well welcome back to the single party" Katherine smirked.
"So you and that guy really aren't going out?" Derek inquired.
"Nope" Katherine replied.
"Oh…" Derek trailed off.
"Alright, come on I'm tired, let's go to bed" Katherine told him, as she dragged him towards the bed.
Derek slowly laid down on the bed, carefully not to put pressure onto his hands and sighed.
"What?" Katherine asked, rolling to face him.
"Are we like friends again or…?" Derek questioned.
"Or…?" Katherine repeated, gesturing for him to continue.
"Or…best friends?" Derek said, mentally slapping himself, because that was obviously not what he wanted to say.
"You want to be best friends?" Katherine asked, looking unimpressed, obviously expecting something else.
"Yeah, you know besties and all that" Derek exclaimed, mentally stabbing himself now.
"Okay…so I think the pain's gone to your head. You should probably try to get some sleep" Katherine giggled, turning over.
Derek then turned onto his side, and face palmed, not believing he actually used the word 'besties'.
Author's Notes: Sorry, it's just the image of Derek Hale, Mr Grumpy Face himself saying 'besties'. I couldn't resist;) Also hopefully I will be posting my new Agents of Shield Fanfiction next week, so watch out for that! Please leave a review!
