Skye's POV

I thrashed around under my covers unable to get to sleep just like every other night since Boyd's death, after I'd talked with Derek I agreed to give him more time to grief on his own terms even though I didn't like the separation at all especially when I had to pretend nothing was wrong and that I was okay in front of my dad because he didn't know Boyd had been one of us and I didn't want to clue him in on how Boyd really died so I had to act like everything was okay but I knew he'd been noticing Derek's absence but hadn't asked which I appreciated.

I turned my head to the side and pulled the pillow Derek always used when he stayed over underneath my nose and cuddled into it but his scent had almost faded by now which made me sigh and roll back onto my back but then my text tone went off, I sat up and grabbed it quickly but frowned when I saw it had only been a message from Stiles but then my eyes widened when I read the text.

Emergency at the School, Lydia called again – Stiles, I immediately jumped up out of bed and changed into the first pair of jeans I found and pulled one of Derek's shirts that had been left here over my head before I pulled on my combat boots and grabbed the keys to Derek's Camaro and left without question, I pulled up into the parking lot at the same time Scott pulled up on his bike and Stiles' pulled up in his Jeep, I got out and ran over to them.

"Where is she?" Scott asked getting off his motorcycle.

"Over here" Allison called making us turn to see her and Lydia coming over to us.

"Lydia?" Stiles asked, raising an eyebrow as we walked over to them.

"It's the same thing" Lydia replied. "Same thing as the pool, I got into the car heading somewhere totally different and ended up here and you told me to call you if there's a dead body"

"You found a dead body?" Stiles asked her.

"Not yet"

"'Not yet'?" Stiles asked. "What do you mean 'not yet' Lydia, you're supposed to call us after you find the dead body"

"Oh no, I'm not doing that again, you find the dead body from now on" I smelled blood and looked towards where I thought the scent was coming from that's when I saw it and nudged Scott nodding towards the direction I was just looking at.

"How are we supposed to find the dead body?" Stiles asked her. "You're always the one finding the dead body"

"Guys" Scott interrupted them. "Skye and I found the dead body" they looked over to where the deputy was dangling over the Beacon Hills High School sign while blood dripped down it, I sighed because we were too late…again.

I wrapped the leather jacket closer to my body, taking in the scent of it as I got ready for school, it was Derek's jacket, he gave it to me the night I met him in the distillery because I had gotten cold and told me to keep it until he came back but his scent just made me miss him more but I had to push through today, I sighed loudly looking in the mirror one last time and planted a smile on my face before I grabbed my school bag and left going to school as I just needed the distraction.

"Idioms, analogies, metaphors and similes, all tools the writer uses to tell their story" Ms Blake said walking around the room as we currently sat in English but I was sitting back ignoring most of today's lesson as I could care less about this class. "Lydia, I wasn't aware you had so many hidden talents" I looked up and saw Ms Blake had stopped at Lydia's desk and was taking note of her drawing.

"You and every guy I've ever dated" Lydia remarked making me smile.

"Oh, um well that was an idiom by the way, Idioms are something of a secret to the people who know the language or the culture, they're phrases that only make sense if you know key words, saying 'jump the gun' is meaningful only if you know about the starting gun in a race or a phrase like 'seeing the whole board'"

"Like chess" Stiles mumbled making me look up at him.

"That's right, Stiles do you play?" Ms Blake asked him.

"Uh no, my father does"

"Now, when does an idiom become a cliché?" Scott knocked on my desk as she walked away then leaned in to Stiles' desk so I leaned forward too.

"I think I can get to Ethan" I frowned and furrowed my eyebrows at him. "I'm pretty sure I can make him talk"

"What do you want to do that for?" I asked letting him clearly hear the distaste I had towards the twins.

"The druids are emissaries right, so what if the Darach was an emissary to the Alphas?"

"Okay, first of all I cannot believe that we've gotten to the point where a sentence like 'what if the Darach was an emissary to the Alphas?' actually makes sense to me" Stiles replied making me roll my eyes.

"Second of all, we're gonna have a huge problem getting to Ethan" I added before Stiles could.

"What's that?" Scott asked.

"Going through Aiden" I replied then leaned back in my seat again but still kept my ears on their conversation because the only thing I wanted with the twins was to rip their throats out for what they did to Boyd and Derek.

"I agree with Skye" I heard Stiles say making me smile since it was about bloody time he agreed with me on something. "Ever since he's been back at school, they're always together how are we gonna separate them again?" we all seemed to think for a second but then all seemed to get the same idea and turned to Lydia, she looked up at us.

"What now?" she asked sighing heavily.

"How would you like to help us out?" I asked.

I waited in the hallway for Ethan, I knew Lydia had to have gotten to Aiden already so it was time for us to get to Ethan, I saw him walking down the hall so I hid then when he was about to pass I grabbed him forcing him into the stairwell but what I didn't plan on was him grabbing my throat.

I went wide eyed as he had me against the wall in an instant and I felt my throat start closing up as Ethan bared his fangs at me but I just did it right back at him undeterred as I wasn't afraid of him but then Scott quickly came over with Stiles and he pushed Ethan off me.

"That's enough" Scott ordered and glared at me because that hadn't been the plan to get Ethan to talk to us but I didn't care.

"Tell that to her, she's the one who thought it'd be smart to sneak up on an Alpha" I scoffed and flashed my Alpha red eyes at him.

"I could take you in my sleep" I growled and stepped forward threateningly, Ethan growled and looked at me with matching red eyes.

"Enough!" Scott yelled quietly and pulled back on my shoulder forcing me to step back but I didn't back down. "Skye please stop" I sighed and returned my eyes back to their normal blue and stepped away from Ethan otherwise I would start a fight right here in the middle of school.

"Why are you even talking to me, I helped kill your friend" Ethan spoke up, I growled and went to step forward again but Scott held his arm out stopping me. "How do you know I'm not gonna kill another one?" he added and his eyes turned to Stiles making my growl louder as I took that as a threat to Stiles.

"Are you looking at him?" I asked Ethan and my eyes flashed red again angrily. "Are you threatening him, you know what I'm gonna do, I'm going to break off an extra-large branch of Mountain ash, wrap it in wolfsbane, roll it in mistletoe, and shove it up your freaking..."

"Whoa Skye, okay" Scott cut in stopping me, he knew I was upset about what they did to Boyd and knew he didn't need me getting hurt because Derek would probably kill him if he let that happen, I sighed and tried to calm down taking a step back again but I saw Stiles proudly smiling at me. "We get it" he turned to Ethan "We're talking to you because I know that you didn't want to kill Boyd and I think that if something like that happened now, you wouldn't do it again"

"You don't know what we owe them, especially Deucalion, we weren't like Kali and Ennis when we met him, we weren't Alphas" Ethan replied.

"What were you" Stiles asked.

"Omegas, in actual wolf packs omegas are the scapegoat the last to eat, the one who has to take the abuse from the rest of the pack"

"So you and your brother were like, the bitches of the pack" I asked chuckling to myself.

"Something like that" he replied with a small glare.

"What happened?" Scott asked him.

"They were killers, I mean people talk about us as monsters, well they were the ones who gave us the reputation and our Alpha was the worst of them"

"Why didn't you guys just fight back?" Stiles asked. "Form Voltron wolf you know, kick everyone's asses?"

"We couldn't, we didn't know how to control it back then"

"Deucalion taught you" Scott said nodding.

"And then we fought we took down the whole pack, one-by-one and by the time we got to our Alpha, he was begging for his life and we tore him apart, literally"

"What about your emissary they're all dead, Kali and Ennis' too?"

"All of them except for Deucalion's"

"You mean Morrell?" Stiles asked.

"Ah!" Ethan suddenly winced and grabbing at his chest.

"What, what's wrong are you hurt?" Scott asked and I rolled my eyes because his sympathy was really starting to get annoying especially because they didn't deserve it.

"Not me, my brother" Ethan replied then took off, we followed him into the boys locker room and saw Aiden beating the crap out of Cora so I ran forward and pushed him away from her growling ferociously as Scott and Ethan moved in to pull him back restraining his arms. "You can't do this!" Ethan yelled at his twin.

"She came at me!" Aiden yelled back.

"It doesn't matter, Kali gave Derek until the next full moon, so you can't touch him, Skyler or her" Ethan replied pointing at us when he said our names, Aiden sighed letting out a grunt then left the locker room with his brother as I bent down and kneeled beside Cora.

"Hey, guys I think she's pretty hurt"

"You okay?" Scott asked Cora, watching her inspect her head wound in the mirror.

"She doesn't look okay" Lydia mumbled.

"I'll heal" Cora said angrily and turned to walk from the room but stumbled, causing the group to go to help her but Cora straightened herself out. "I said I'm fine" I rolled my eyes because she was as bad as Derek.

"Do you realize how suicidally crazy that was?" I scolded her and knew if Derek was here he'd do more than yell at her. "What were you thinking going after them?"

"I did it for Boyd" Cora snapped angrily. "None of you were doing anything"

"Cora they will get what's coming to them but you have to be patient, we're not ready to take them on yet, give us just a little more time" I replied and ignored the look Scott sent me because I knew he clearly didn't agree with me.

"We're trying" Scott added.

"And you're failing, you're just a bunch of stupid teenagers running around thinking that you can stop people from getting killed but all you do is show up late, all you really do is find the bodies" Cora walked out of the locker room.

"She's definitely a Hale" Stiles said, I sighed looking at him and then Scott.

"We'll make sure she gets home" I grabbed Stiles and walked out following Cora till we reached the parking lot but then a voice caught my ears making me stop and look around for the source.

"Skye you okay?" Stiles asked stopping just ahead of me, I looked back at him then heard it again clear at day.

"Make sure Cora gets home" I replied and watched his confusion but he nodded then quickly caught up with Cora deciding not to ask.

I ran towards the tunnel that led to the fields then stopped waiting for him to show himself and as soon as Derek came out of the shadows I dropped my bag and ran towards him, he caught me as I jumped into his arms and pulled me into a passionate kiss.

"Where the hell have you been?" I laughed after pulling away. "I know you needed more time but-!" Derek chuckled and placed his forehead against mine.

"I'm here now and you were safe, trust me" I smiled then pulled him back into a kiss.

"I wasn't concerned about my safety I was worried about you" I replied letting my feet fall back to the floor but he didn't let go of my waist.

"I'm fine" I rolled my eyes but wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him letting my head fall to his chest listening to the steady beats of his heart.

"I've really missed you" I looked up and saw him smile.

"I know I missed you too" he bent down and kissed me again but this time softly and slowly making my head spin a little but in the good way but then the bell rang causing both of us to sigh separating.

"Some days, I just want to knock that thing off the wall"

"Why don't you just come back with me?" Derek smiled, running his hand down my thigh making me sigh.

"God yes!" I groaned making him laugh, I quickly ran back to my backpack and picked it up then went back to Derek and took his hand letting him lead me away from school.

We walked over to where I'd parked the Camaro and he smiled probably because I was actually using it, he grabbed the keys off me and we left school going back to my place because I knew my dad was working late tonight because of the deputy being killed last night.

I immediately pulled him up the stairs towards my bedroom and pushed him down onto my bed a soon as I'd closed the door straddling his waist as I kissed down his neck and started unbuckling his belt and drawing his fly down as he pushed his leather jacket off my shoulders letting it fall to the floor as I hungrily tried to get him out of his jeans.

"Skye slow down" I shook my head.

"Screw slow, I need you now" I pulled his jeans off then pulled my own shirt over my head leaving me standing there is a dusty rose bra and watched his eyes darken with lust and desire.

He growled then pulled me back on top of him and started trailing his hands down my sides making me moan as it sent waves of desire coursing through me especially when he started his slow torture on my neck, kissing and sucking at the skin.

"Oh god please Der…take me already" I felt his smile against the soft skin then his hands slid around my back and unclasped my bra letting it fall before he tossed it aside then took to kissing down my chest before he flipped us and continued his way down kissing and nipping at every part of my skin before reaching my jeans and started taking them off agonizingly slow.

"You're impatient today" Derek pointed out with a playful smirk kissing up my thighs making me moan and lay my head back.

"I'm frustrated" he laughed making his way back up my body.

"Figuratively or sexually?" I rolled my eyes

"Both but only one can be sated right now" I flipped us back over and was straddling his waist again and crashing my lips back to his but he pulled back after a few seconds.

"What's wrong?" I groaned because he was totally killing the mood right now.

"Just school" I replied trying to move on without telling him Cora getting into a fight with Aiden but his eyes told me to continue "Can we talk about this later please, I've missed you and really just want to feel something normal right now" he frowned and had officially killed the mood so I stood up angrily and crossed the room sitting in my desk chair.

"Skye what's been going on?"

"Nothing!" I shouted feeling tired of his asking me that.

"Hey" he walked over and knelt in front of the chair. "Talk to me please" I sighed but before I had a chance to reply I heard my phone buzz from the floor where it'd fallen out of my pocket, I stood up and walked over to it and saw it was a text from Stiles.

CORA FAINTED!, an ambulance is taking her to the hospital – Stiles, my eyes widened and I grabbed Derek's jeans throwing them at him.

"Get dressed now!" I started pulling my own clothes on.

"Why, what's wrong?" he asked but was pulling his jeans on, I sighed regretfully.

"It's Cora she was at school today and tried to take on Aiden, she got hurt but we thought she was okay and Stiles drove her home but she fainted and-" his eyes widened and he was out of the door running down the stairs, I quickly followed him locking the house and jumped into the passenger side just as he peeled out of the driveway and started speeding to the hospital.

I stared out the passenger window feeling my gut clenching in regret because Derek and I were fooling around and it was my fault, I should have told him sooner and checked her over instead of letting her go like I did especially since I knew all too well about the Hale stubbornness gene so I should have known she wasn't okay.

Derek parked in the hospital carpark and we immediately walked in and found her room, she was lying in the bed with a bandage wrapped around her head and she was sickly pale and sweating, he walked over to her bed and sat down in a chair grabbing her hand with both his while I stayed standing at the door.

"Derek?" Cora asked as she stirred and looked over at Derek, he looked up shocked and stood leaning closer to her.

"Hey…hey I'm here" he whispered to her and my heart broke at how his voice broke.

"What's happening to me?" she asked.

"I don't know but I'm not leaving, okay" he shook his head and I took a step outside getting ready to leave. "Not again" he added then leaned down and kissed her forehead making my frown deepen as I thought about how much this was my fault again, Cora passed out again so Derek sat back down into the chair beside her bed but he looked over at me then motioned me over but I shook my head. "Skye please, this isn't your fault" I sighed then cautiously stepped closer and put a hand on his shoulder.

"This is my fault, I should have…I should have made sure she was okay but instead I let her leave with Stiles and I didn't tell you she'd gotten hurt just because I wanted you all to myself" he frowned but pulled me into his lap.

"This is my fault Skye, I shouldn't have left in the first place" I sighed laying my head in the crook of his neck.

"Do you want me to leave you alone?" I asked looking up.

"No that's the last thing I want" I nodded and relaxed in his lap but suddenly felt very awkward given that Cora was right there so I stood up confusing him but I dragged another chair over beside his then sat down and he smiled putting one arm around my shoulder pulling me to rest up against his side as we watched over Cora.

We sat in this position for hours and I actually found myself slowly start drifting but as soon as my eyes fully closed I forced them open because I hated hospitals and refused to fall asleep here like this.

"How much sleep have you gotten over the last few days?" I frowned and avoided looking at him. "Skye?" he turned my face to meet his eyes.

"I slept" I lied and watched his knowing glare but before he could say anything we both looked up when a loud scream echoed from somewhere across Beacon Hills. "Lydia" I looked up at Derek worriedly.

A/N: I know these last few chapters haven't been that long and I apologise but to follow the canon story I couldn't change too much storyline of key points in the story so I hope you all haven't turned off this story and are still interested so please review and fav/follow if you haven't already.
