I own nothing but Ashlee :)
45-Derek!
Ashlee's p.o.v
As I make my way into the loft, I can only detect one heartbeat, Derek's. Shit, where's the pack?
"Derek!" I yell, ripping the door open and running inside, tears flowing down my cheeks.
"Ashlee" he says calmly, turning around to face me from his place by the large window.
"Where's the pack? Something happened, where are they?!" I ask him frantically.
"They've gone home" he says, not at all worried about my breathless, tear-stained form. That's very unlike Derek.
"By themselves? Derek, they need to stay together!" I yell, walking up to him. He just continues to stare at me. "Derek, what the hell's wrong with you?" I ask him.
"I need to show you something" Derek says, walking to his makeshift room. I look at him in confusion. I pull my phone out, texting Deaton.
Something's wrong, the Nogitsune let hundreds of flies come out of Mum's stomach, Noshiko's taking her to the hospital now. Pack isn't at Derek's, going to find them now. I text him, putting my phone back into my pocket.
"In here" Derek says. I walk towards his voice wearily. He's so calm..he's acting weird. He stands in front of the table, holding a familiar box. He clicks the lid off, pouring the contents onto the table. "These are all that was left of our alpha after the Argents burned the house down around them all" Derek says angerily, staring at Tahlia's claws. Something's definitly wrong with Derek. My head snaps to the side when I hear muffled struggles.
"Derek..what did you do?" I ask him slowly. He looks up at me with a psychotic smile. He leads me around the corner. I gasp when I see Chris Argent tied to a chair, tape over his mouth. "What the fuck Derek?!" I yell, walking over to him. He left, he was gone from this life. Now Derek's got him back, tied to a chair? Derek catches my arm.
"We can finally have our revenge" he says. I look at him, my eyes widening in horror.
"Kate's dead Derek" I tell him trying to pull away.
"Let's the burn the whole building down around him" Derek says, his eyes darkening with rage.
"NO! Derek, what the fuck is wrong with you!?" I yell, getting out of his grip and running towards Chris.
"I was afraid you might say that" is all I hear Derek say before I feel a shocking sensation. I fall forward, my body shaking. Derek's standing over me with a stun-gun. He drags me into a metal chair, binding me to it with heavy chains. He takes my phone from my pocket, putting it on the table. He walks over and rips the tape from Chris' mouth.
"Let me go!" he yells. Derek shakes his finger in Chris' face.
"Chris!" I yell to him. "Relax, i'm going to get you out" I tell him. Derek storms over and grabs me face roughly, squeezing.
"NO!" he yells, letting go. I click my jaw back into place, glaring at Derek. "You burn my family, I burn your's" Derek says to Chris, walking out of the room.
"Chris, why are you back?" I ask him immediantly.
"Scott text me, told me about the Nogitsune. I knew I had to help if I could" Chris answers. He's changed alot since we first met. He chooses to help supernatural creatures rather than hunt them.
"Well thanks but" I say, pulling at my chains. Chris gives me a sympthetic look. Derek comes back in the room holding a squeezy bottle of gasoline. "Derek, Derek!" I yell, he looks at me quickly but moves to stand in front of Chris. He begins pouring gasoline all over Chris. "Derek, STOP!" I yell.
"Derek, you don't have to do this, that was Kate, not me" Chris pleads, Derek ignores him, pulling out a lighter. He lights it and waves it in front of Chris, his eyes following the flame like a pyromaniac.
"Don't worry, i'm not going to light this yet, i'm not" he says, clicking the zippo closed and chuckling. "I'm gonna to text Allison, then we're going to wait until she gets here and then Ashlee and Allison can watch" Derek tells him, taking my phone from the table.
"Stop! Derek, that's enough!" I yell.
"Shhh, it's okay" he says, smiling at me. I roar, pulling at the chains, Chris pulling at his own restraints.
"I'm not the enemy Derek" Chris says. Derek stands up, walking over to the window, shaking his hand and pulling at his hair.
"You are! No, no, no, no, no" he mutters. "You're not my allie!" I see Derek go on my phone, he's going to text Allison.
"NO!" I roar, finding the strength to rip myself free from my chains. Derek's head snaps to me, wolfed out. He growls and jumps at me. I snatch on of Argent's confiscated guns from the table. Derek grabs me, claws out, I bring the gun under his chin. I growl at him, eyes glowing blue now. He snarls back, claws digging into my arms and at my throat. "Derek, stop" I plead. He shows no sign of having heard me. "Don't make me kill you" I say, cocking the gun. Derek just growls again. "Please don't make me kill you" I beg, a tear slipping down my face. Derek leans in, opening his mouth to reveal his fangs as he snarls in my face. My finger tightens on the trigger. "DEREK!" I yell. I hear Chris' chair break and he throws himself backwards. He takes his other gun from the table poitning it at Derek's head. Derek growls at him as well.
"Derek, stop this!" Chris yells, cocking his own gun. Derek goes to attack Chris but he stops when black blood begins trickling from his nose. He whimpers before falling to the ground, eyes closed. I throw the gun to the side, coming to his side.
"Derek!" I yell, shaking him. Chris comes to his side as well, tucking his own gun away. "DEREK!" I scream.
"He's not breathing" Chris says, feeling his pulse. Chris' phone starts to ring. He looks at it. "It's Deaton" he says, slightly confused. He answers, leaving me with Derek. I give him CPR, trying to kickstart his heart again. I dig my claws into his arm, trying to force him to shift and heal. Chris comes back to his side, dropping his phone. He lightly pushes my away from Derek, opening Derek's mouth.
"What are you doing?!" I demand. He doesn't answer, just puts his hand in his mouth, feeling around. I go to stop him but Chris' hand comes out, revealing a fly, a dead fly.
"The Nogitsune" he says, dropping the dead fly to the floor. "It's possessing other werewolves, got Isaac and the twins as well, Deaton's dealt with them" Chris tells me.
"The alpha twins?" I ask, they left as well, weren't ever supposed to return.
"Yes, they aren't alphas anymore though. Word is, they're trying to find a pack, more importantly get into Scott's pack" Chris tells me. My mind goes into overdrive, the twins are back? Chris is back? We both turn to Derek when he starts coughing, eyes flying open. I lean down and hug him tightly. He hugs me back just as tightly, guilt and anger, directed towards himself, pouring from him.
..
Derek stops the loft door from closing with his hand, Chris turns back to him.
"You had a gun pointed at my head, you didn't pull the trigger, why?" he asks.
"Because you're not my enemy Derek" Chris tells him.
"We should be out there, looking for her" Derek says, referring to Mum.
"I don't think that's necessary" Chris says. Derek looks confused.
"If the Nogitsune can do something like this then it'll come after us" I tell Derek. Derek's face drops. Chris leans in and pulls the loft door closed, locking eyes with me for a second.
"I'm so sorry" Derek says, mimicking my own words.
"That wasn't you, it was the Nogitsune" I say, putting Tahlia's claws back into the triskelion box. When I click it closed, I hand it back to Derek.
"I was going to kill you" he says, taking the box from me.
"But you didn't, we're okay, let's just leave it alone" I say, I don't like it when he blames himself. Derek puts the box back under his bed. Derek walks back over to me, touching my arm. He traces the healing claw wounds he made in my arm. "It's nothing, it'll heal" I tell him, shaking him off.
"I did that" he says. "I was going to burn Chris..make Allison watch" he sounds disgusted in himself.
"Stop!" I yell.
"I hurt you and I was going to hurt-" Derek keeps going. I grab him and kiss him, shutting him up. He kisses me back, eyes closing. I open mine when we pull back. I rest my forehead on his.
"But you didn't" I repeat. Derek bows his head, stepping away from me.
"Go" he says.
"What?" I ask.
"Get out" he says, voice calm.
"Not this again, Derek-"
"Get out!" he yells, pain in his voice, I know he doesn't want to kick me out. "I'm not going to let myself hurt you again!" he tells me, pointing to the door.
"I'm not going" I tell him, stepping closer to him.
"I said GO!" he demands, flaring his eyes blue at me.
"I'm not going anywhere" I say, standing so i'm in front of him again.
"I can't be the one that hurts you" he says quietly, his eyes glassy. I pull him into a hug.
"You won't" I whisper, nuzzling into him.
