Derek's POV

She's alive!...I couldn't believe my eyes when she stumbled into the loft and for a minute I thought I was dreaming again until I saw just how badly she was hurt and knew I'd never dream that much blood since I hated seeing her hurt.

I jumped up and caught her just in time as she collapsed and I was amazed she'd made it all the way here with the way she looks but that didn't quell my relief that she was actually here and alive in my arms.

"Skye?" I questioned when she closed her eyes and for a brief second I thought she'd actually given in but then her steady heartbeat filled my ears and I sighed leaning down to put my lips against her forehead "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry baby" I stood up with her in my arms then carried her over to my bed laying her down as gently as I could but she still winced in pain.

"Derek?" she reached her hand up so I grabbed it.

"I'm here" I kissed the back of it as her eyes blinked open making me smile when I saw her beautiful cerulean blue irises.

"Hi" she smiled and it made me laugh despite her condition.

"Hi" I whispered back brushing some of her hair out of her eyes, she smiled even wider then looked down at herself.

"So how bad is it?" I frowned shaking my head.

"To be honest I don't even know how you're alive right now or if you're even actually here" I replied then felt her touch my cheek, I sighed reaching up and held her hand there closing my eyes as I let the simple action calm me.

"I'm here, I'm okay…for the most part anyway" I nodded looking down at her.

"Let's get you cleaned up" I sighed after a while of just staring at each other.

I grabbed her shirt and tried lifting it over her head but she groaned in pain so I ended up giving up and ripped it not caring one bit, I looked down and growled angrily because there was more open flesh then there was closed.

"Derek?" she whispered making me look up and saw her eyes closing again.

"Skye hey, you need to stay awake" she slumped back into my pillows and I quickly moved closer fearing she'd faded. "Skye?" I leaned my head closer but couldn't hear any breaths coming from her "Skye come on you gotta stay with me?" I looked up and noticed she'd gone still "No Skye come on!" I quickly grabbed her nose and blew a few breathes before backing away but she didn't resume breathing so I did it a few more times before I heard her gasp making me jump back. "Oh thank god" I whispered pressing my forehead against hers. "Don't do that to me"

She stayed unconscious but her heart was beating so I watched over her and occasionally siphoned away some of her pain in hopes to kick start her healing but I knew it was going to take time and effort on her part for her to heal completely from this.

I moved over to stand by the window when I got numb from sitting in the same position for so long as it'd been a few hours now since she came stumbling in and my worry was not decreasing at all especially when she'd wince or groan in pain.

I hated that she was in this position because it was all my fault if I'd listened to her than none of us would have been in that mall and she wouldn't have had to save me and she wouldn't have gone over the edge instead.

"Derek?" I looked over and saw her eyes we're open looking to the sides for me so I walked over and grabbed her hand.

"I'm here" she gave me a weak smile but I didn't return it which made her smile fade. "What we're you thinking Skyler honestly?" she frowned.

"That I had to save you" she replied.

"Yeah and look what happened, when are you going to understand that I'm not worth saving that there are people who need you" I watched her eyes pinch together. "Your dad, what would have had me tell him that his daughter died saving me"

"I don't care about what my father would have thought Derek, I had to save you" I shook my head at her.

"No, you have to save yourself and from now on that's what you're going to do"

"No!" she exclaimed making my eyes widen. "Why are you saying this Derek?" she sat up wincing as she did and I tried to stop her from moving too much but she swatted my hand away. "When will you get it through your thick skull that you mean everything to me?" I frowned looking down. "Derek I love you and I'm not just saying that, I love you more than anyone should ever love somebody and the thought of you going over that edge killed me"

"You think it didn't kill me, I sat here all day thinking of ways to kill myself Skyler" I shouted looking up watching her eyes widen. "Because I can't live in a world where you don't exist and I…" I choked up a little "If you're gone then I'd have nothing, no one worth living for" she moved and cupped both my cheeks ignoring her own pain that was clearly visible in her eyes.

"Derek you need to stop thinking there aren't people who need you and you need to stop trying to push me away because I'm not going anywhere" she grabbed my hand and held it over her heart "This will always beat for you, it belongs to you" she moved my hand to my heart. "They beat together because this is meant to be, your mine and I'm yours, you need to get that okay" I sighed then nodded. "I love you Derek Hale, more than my own life" I looked up into her eyes and let her see the tears that we're threatening to fall any minute "Time will heal me and you need to stop viewing me as a porcelain doll because nothing will ever keep me away from you"

"I just can't see you get hurt again Skye, I need you more than I need the air to breathe" I carefully slid my arms around her naked back and pulled her towards me so that she was straddling my waist. "I love you so much Skye that it kills me every time I see you get hurt"

"I know because it kills me when I see you get hurt so I know exactly how it feels Derek, we're one in the same remember" I felt a small smile tug at my lips before I looked up and cupped her cheeks.

"You're my life Skyler Blakesley" she nodded then grabbed the back of my head and pulled me towards her pressing our lips together and I kissed her as if I'd never kiss her again letting every bit of love and affection I had for this one girl to flow out of me.

I grabbed her thighs then stood up and walked back over to the bed gently laying her down beneath me before moving to lie beside her as our lips stayed locked together just barely parting for air before we kissed again.

I felt her trying to grab my shirt to pull over my head but she was having trouble so I grabbed it by the base of my neck and pulled it off for her then threw it across the room before pressing our lips back together.

"Derek" she moaned when I moved my lips to her neck gently sucking and biting against the soft skin which made me smile.

"Shh" I whispered then reached around her back and unclipped her bra freeing her as I again threw it carelessly aside not caring where it ended up since it wasn't like I was ever letting her move from this spot again.

I leaned back a bit and looked down seeing just how injured and bloody she was and it almost made me stop since we really shouldn't be doing this when she's this injured but she grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me back towards her.

"It's okay, I'm okay and I need this…I need you" she grabbed the front of my jeans and pulled until my hips we're pressed against her and I felt my growing erection for her, I groaned against her lips then reached for the button on her jean shorts slowly undoing it then pulling the zipper down before hooking my fingers into the waist line and pulled them down along with her blue lace panties which made me growl because she knew just how much I loved her in lace.

"You're getting bolder" I smirked holding them up watching her blush. "What ever happened to those cotton ones?"

"Derek!" I laughed throwing them away before settling back over her, she moaned when my lips fell back to her neck and I felt her trying to reach for my belt so I grabbed her hands and entwined our fingers moving them back beside her head because I wasn't rushing this, I spent the last twelve hours thinking she was dead so I was taking this slow and relishing in the fact that she was alive.

"Not yet" she groaned in frustration making me laugh again because she really was the impatient one and yet a few months ago she was the innocent one.

"Please" she whispered arching her back so that she brushed up against the bulge in my jeans making me growl. "I need you" I had to close my eyes to compose myself since hearing Skye beg for me almost made me lose all reason to take this slow.

Skye's POV

I saw Derek close his eyes after I brushed myself against the ever growing bulge that was his erection so I did it again and watched his eyes widen and smiled when I saw them glowing bright red.

"You want to play that game do you?" I smiled and did it again but he grabbed my hips stilling me.

"Please" I begged because it was becoming unbearable, I needed him.

He smiled then started kissing down my neck slowly again making me moan and squirm underneath him until I felt him moving down my body before he surprised me and took one of my nipples into his mouth while his hand played with the other.

"Oh my god" I moaned since he's never done it before and it was definitely a new but amazing feeling.

"Shh" he warned with a playful growl before he continued torturing me with kisses all over my body before stopping at my thighs. "If you want me to stop"

"No!" I exclaimed opening my eyes watching him smile.

"Okay but if it gets too much tell me, I don't want to hurt you" I nodded then watched him kneel at the base of the bed before grabbing my hips and pulled me towards him and my eyes widened when I realised what he was about to do.

"Derek" he looked up with a smile before his lips we're on me making me throw my head back and bite the back of my hand to stop myself from screaming out. "Oh Fu…" I gripped the bed sheets tight in my fist as he continued to torture me with his tongue.

"Don't cum" he whispered making a slight blush creep up to stain my cheeks but I threw my head back when he hit a particularly sensitive spot and I couldn't help the loud moans that escaped.

"Oh god…" I grabbed the top of his head gripping his hair tight, I felt myself on the edge and I tried to hold back but couldn't any longer and orgasmed hard screaming out his name because that was seriously the most intense thing I've ever experienced.

"I told you not to cum" I heard him say as he climbed back up the bed, I blushed again since I was still new to all this sex stuff but what he just did…god I hope we do more.

He started unbuttoning his jeans and pulled them off as an idea popped into my head but he suddenly stopped and looked down at me.

"What?"

"You're healing" I looked down and saw most of the wounds on my torso we're all almost closed. "I guess I'm better than I thought" I blushed.

"Your ego doesn't need any boosting so I'm not going to reply to that" he laughed then laid beside me.

"Was it okay though, I know we never talked about oral" I cupped his cheek smiling at how insecure and childish he sounded right now.

"It was perfect, amazing and I love you" he smiled then kissed me and I flinched a little because I could taste the saltiness of my orgasm but it actually wasn't as bad as books and movies made it out to be.

During our kiss I managed to push him to lie back and straddled his legs before leaning back making him smile as he looked up at me.

"I love you at this angle" I rolled my eyes before bending down to kiss him making him close his eyes expectantly but I moved to kiss his jaw instead before slowly travelling my lips down his neck descending down across his chest, down his abs until I reached the waist line of his jeans so I grabbed them and pulled them down along with his boxer briefs. "Skye I don't want you to do something you don't want to do"

"I know" I whispered before grabbing a hold of his erection and slowly moved my hand up and down smiling when his head fell back moaning as his eyes closed because I knew that meant I was doing something right so I took a step further and moved my head down and took it into my mouth

"Skyler…" Derek moaned making me look up to see him smiling before he grabbed me and lifted me up to kiss him.

"Was I bad?" I asked a little confused.

"No" he smiled with a shy smile. "But I really didn't want to cum in your mouth and I didn't think you'd want me to either" I smiled then felt him flip us over so he was back on top. "You're too perfect for me" I shook my head.

"We're perfect for each other" he smiled then grabbed a condom from a box underneath the bed and ripped it open with his teeth before holding it out to me, I was shocked for a second but then grabbed it and rolled it down.

"Good girl" he whispered into my ear before kissing me and I felt his tip against my entrance. "If this hurts tell me straight away, you're still healing" I nodded grabbing his face to kiss him again then felt him slide in and moaned against his mouth.

He started moving once he was fully sheathed inside me but I could tell he was being careful not to hurt me so I wrapped my legs around his waist and egged him to go faster which he obliged even if it was still gentle.

"I'm not a porcelain doll remember" he growled and finally I got his full Alpha sex skills which left us both spent after nearly five rounds.

I smiled and traced shapes against his abs as we rested for a bit both with heavy breathing, his arm was wrapped over my waist keeping me pressed against his side with his eyes closed and a small smile playing on his lips.

"I want to just stay here" I whispered.

"What do you mean?" I looked up seeing his eyes open looking down at me so I moved so that I could look up at him without craning my neck.

"You know what I mean, I wish it was just you and me alone and in a place where one of us isn't nearly dying or the next threat coming to town just to screw our lives, I want a simple life where I…we don't have to fight" he frowned looking up towards the ceiling.

"We're werewolves Skye, that's almost never going to happen"

"But if it could would you want that?" I asked him a little insecure of myself.

"You seriously have to ask me that" he replied looking down a little angry. "I meant what I said earlier Skye, you're everything to me and a normal life with you would be a dream come true but right now dreaming like that isn't going to do us any good" he moved me off his chest then sat up grabbing his jeans pulling them on.

"Where are you going don't leave" I exclaimed panicking a little, he turned and looked at me as his eyes softened.

"I'm not going anywhere, you need to eat as it'll help you heal" I sighed in relief because I didn't want him going anywhere. "Mac n' Cheese?" he asked making me laugh and nod my head "I'll be right back, you sit here and rest" he kissed my forehead before he got up and walked into his make-shift kitchen.

I leaned back against the bed head and gently ran my fingers over my wounds which we're almost physically healed which made me smile until I realised that in the haze of me and Derek I hadn't even called the others to tell them I was alive.

I grabbed my phone out of my jean pocket but frowned when the screen was smashed and it didn't turn on there goes that plan, I dropped it to the ground then noticed Derek's sitting on the wooden bench seat so I grabbed it and turned it on.

It lit up and signalled that it was nearly dead but I saw the screensaver and it made me smile because it was a picture of me smiling up at him but I looked to be asleep which made me curious as to when he'd taken this.

"That was after our first night together" I jumped and saw Derek standing next to the bed with a bowl in his hand. "I didn't think you'd ever see that" he rubbed behind his ear nervously.

"It's sweet" he laughed then handed me the bowl of mac n' cheese making me smile then give him a quick kiss before I remembered what I'd been doing with his phone.

"I gotta call Stiles and Scott" he nodded frowning a little and I couldn't help feel it was because he wanted to stay in our little love bubble longer but they had to know I was alive. "Passcode?"

"Our anniversary" he replied making my smile widen even more.

"You really are just a big softie aren't you" he rolled his eyes as I typed in our anniversary then scrolled through his contacts and saw Scott McCall so I pressed it then held it up to my ear but it went straight to voicemail confusing me so I tried again but got the same result, I scrolled down until I found Stiles. S making me smile. "Couldn't spell Stilinski?"

"Just wasn't bothered to type it, hurry up before the battery dies" I nodded and pressed it, it rang but Stiles didn't pick up, I tried two more times before the receiver clicked.

"Derek?" I smiled when I heard Stiles' voice "Hello?"

"Hey Batman" I replied laughing a little.

"Skye!" he exclaimed. "Skye is it really you or am I going nuts to"

"It's me Stiles, I'm okay, I'm alive" I replied and heard his sigh of relief

"Thank god, you scared the hell out of us Skyzee" I laughed at my childhood nickname from Stiles.

"I know and I'm sorry but I wasn't ready to die yet" Derek growled at me.

"Hey I got to go but we're gonna talk when we get back okay and I'm going to beat some sense into you" I laughed.

"I love you Stiles, tell Scotty I love him to" I replied

"Uh yeah" I frowned at that because I could hear the uneasiness in his voice.

"Stiles what's going on?" I asked him.

"What…nothing!" he replied which only added to my suspicion.

"Stiles tell me, what's happening?" I was beginning to panic "Stiles talk to me please, what's going on" he sighed and I could picture him rubbing the back of his head.

"We're at this motel and the werewolves all went nuts, Boyd nearly drowned himself, Isaac had a completely freak out and hid under the bed, Ethan tried to cut himself open but we can't find Scott anywhere" I gasped and put my hand over my mouth.

"What motel, where?" I jumped up slightly wincing since I wasn't totally back to normal yet.

"The Glen Capri but by the time you get here it'll be no use, don't worry Skye we'll find him" I growled because he was right. "Allison and Lydia are here to so we'll find him okay and I'll call you when I do, for now you need to heal" I sighed loudly.

"Okay but make sure you do"

"I will and I love you to Skye" he replied before hanging up.

"They'll find him Skye, come back and relax" I nodded sitting back down on the bed. "Now you need to eat something" he held out the bowl but I shook my head.

"I have one more call to make" I dialled in a number that I knew off my heart and waited knowing full well the arse chewing I was about to get.

"Hello?"

"Hi daddy" I saw Derek wince as he looked at me and I knew then that they'd told my dad that I'd died

"Skye!" he shouted making me hold the phone away from my ear. "Where are you?"

"I'm with Derek and I'm okay" I replied.

"Okay, okay?!" he yelled making me wince. "Do you have any idea what you've put me through in the last twelve hours, Scott and Stiles came over and told me you died, I've spent the last few hours working with other deputy's and the sheriff to find you because I couldn't let myself believe it was true" I frowned.

"I know okay and I'm sorry-"

"Sorry isn't going to cut it Skyler, not when I had to find out from Scott that my daughter had been killed going up against this Alpha pack, I want you home in ten minutes Skyler"

"Dad listen I'll be home in the morning, right now I need to rest and not stress so can you just trust that I'm okay and that I'm safe with Derek"

"No I want you home so that I can get you checked out by professional doctors" I sighed.

"Dad you know I can't do that"

"Put Derek on the phone" I looked up as Derek held out his hand, I sighed then handed it over.

"Mr Blakesley"

"I want you to drive my daughter home right now do you understand me, I don't care about her pig-headiness that she gets from her mother, I have to make sure she's okay" I rolled my eyes as Derek smiled.

"Yes sir, I'm just getting some food into her then I will bring her home" I heard my dad sigh in relief.

"Thank you son" my dad replied then hung up.

"Well that went well" I whispered.

"Eat" he held out the bowl of mac n' cheese so I grabbed it and dug the fork in then ate some.

"Happy?" I asked him.

"Yes" he replied with a small laugh, I rolled my eyes but ate the whole bowl since I really was hungry and needed the food to heal.

When I was done we ended up having a quick shower together since I didn't want my dad to see me covered in blood but as we were getting dressed Derek's phone started ringing so I ran to answer it knowing it would be Stiles and it was so I picked it up quickly.

"Stiles have you found him yet?"

"Yeah, Skye you have to talk to him" I frowned because I didn't like the tone of his voice. "I'm looking at him right now, he's drenched himself in gasoline and is holding a flare" I gasped

"Oh my god!"

"I'm putting you on speaker, maybe you can help" I felt a tear slide down my cheek as Derek walked in hearing my gasp, he looked me over probably thinking I was in pain and I guess I was.

"There's no hope" Scott's voice echoed through the phone making me cry a little harder.

"What do you mean, Scott?" I heard Allison ask him. "There's always hope"

"Not for me" Scott replied making me cry silent tears "Not for Skye"

"Scotty I'm okay, I'm here, don't do this please okay"

"See?" Allison said. "Everything's fine, Skye's fine"

"Every time I try to fight back, it just gets worse" Scott replied undeterred and I could tell this wasn't him. "People keep getting hurt, people keep getting killed"

"Scott, listen to me okay?" Stiles started. "This isn't you all right, this is someone inside your head telling you to do this, okay now…"

"What if it isn't, what if it is just me, what if doing this actually the best thing that I could do for everyone else?" Scott argued, I shook my head as I felt completely useless.

"No…no Scott how could this be the best thing, if you're not here I'd be lost, Scotty your my best friend and I need you?" I sobbed feeling Derek wrap his arms around my waist.

"It all started that night, the night I got bitten" Scott said ignoring me. "You remember the way it was before that, we were…we were nothing, we weren't popular, we weren't good at lacrosse" I could hear Scott shaking. "We weren't important, we were no one"

"Scott…"

"Maybe I should just be no one again, no one at all"

"Scotty please, just please don't do this" I begged as Derek clutched me tighter.

"Scott just listen to me, okay?" Stiles cut in attempting to get through to Scott himself. "You're not no one, okay you're someone you're…Scott you and Skye you're my best friends okay and we need you, Scott you're my brother all right" I could hear Stile's choking up.

"You're our brother" I added quickly hoping he heard me.

"So…so if you're gonna do this then I think you're gonna have to take me with you" NO I can't lose them both, I closed my eyes feeling like I was in physical pain again because they truly were like brothers to me, we've grown up together and been together through everything.

"Stiles!" I called out not ready to hear them do this "Scott please you can't do this!" I yelled but was cut off when Lydia yelled out and the phone cut out. "Oh my god no" I tried to ring back but they didn't pick up. "No, no, no, no" I spat out as I kept calling until Derek stilled my hands.

"They're gonna be okay Skye, it's Scott and Stiles, they're always okay" I shook my head but then the phone rang and I put it to my ear quickly.

"Stiles?"

"Skye it's really you" I sighed in relief at the sound of Scott's voice.

"Oh my god Scott don't ever do that to me again"

"You're alive!" he exclaimed.

"Yeah I'm alive but when you get back to Beacon Hills I'm going to kill you for what you just did to me" I sighed and calmed down. "Are you okay, what the hell was that?"

"The Darach" I growled because seriously this thing was getting on my nerves. "Now are you okay?" I laughed a little.

"I'm perfect, almost healed don't worry about me"

"Don't worry about you?" Stiles suddenly spat. "You're kidding right, you fell nearly six stories and we're not supposed to worry about you"

"Really Stile's I'm okay, how is everyone else, Isaac, Boyd?" I asked getting off the topic of my near death experience.

"They're all here" Scott replied then I heard shuffling.

"Skye?" I smiled at Isaac's voice.

"Hey Isaac" he sighed in relief.

"Man it's good to hear your voice, we all thought-"

"I know but you can't get rid of me that easy" he laughed into the phone.

"Boyd says he's glad you're alive to and nearly killed Ethan for you" I smiled again.

"Tell him thanks but never to try it again" I heard him relay it to Boyd making me laugh.

"Okay it's late and we all need the rest especially you since no doubt Derek is never going to let you out of his sight again, does he know?" I rolled my eyes.

"I called you guys off his phone of course he knows, I'll talk to you guys when you get back okay"

"Okay, bye Skye"

"Bye" I smiled as the phone was past to Lydia and Allison who I spoke to briefly then it was finally passed back to Scott and Stiles.

"You're going to be the death of everybody Skye" Stiles sighed making me laugh.

"Well I certainly don't try to but I'll do my best not to be a bother next time I'm saving you're arses"

"Okay we're gonna go but we'll talk as soon as we get back okay and try to stay away from ledges" he added making me roll my eyes.

"I will Stiles" I heard him chuckling.

"Stay safe Skyzee" I laughed at Scott and Stiles as they said that at the exact same time.

"Bye Scottykins, Bye Stiles" I hung up and felt a lot better after talking with them all.

"You ready to go now, you're dads gonna kill me if I don't get you home" I nodded and finished getting dressed before we left and went back to my place where I was immediately pulled into a bone crushing hug by my dad.

"Don't you ever do this to me again Skyler"

"I won't dad, I promise" I replied even though I knew it was a possibility that I would break it since so long as I was a werewolf and it was forever there would be no way I could promise to be safe but I knew with my dad, Derek and my friends then I had a reason to keep fighting and living.

A/N: Sorry it's been so long between updates but with the Christmas Holidays and my computer crashing again forcing me to have to buy a new one and re-write this chapter it's taken me a little longer to get this out so I hope it's alright and I tried to add as much Derek and Skye fluff as possible to make up for it so I really hope you guys like this chapter and please review because it really helps motivate me and encourages me to continue writing.
