Skye's POV
"Lock it, lock it" I heard Scott yell as I tried forcing down my panic.
"Do I look like I have a key?" Stiles remarked.
"Grab something" Scott continued to yell frantic.
"What?"
"Anything!" Scott continued to yell which wasn't very smart considering the Alpha was right outside, Stiles suddenly looked up then stood and stared out the small windows on the door so I stood up to see what he was looking at and saw the bolt cutters lying on the steps.
"Stiles no" I cut in shaking my head.
"Yes" he replied handing Scott the flashlight in his hand.
"Stiles no don't" Scott cut in agreeing with me that this was a bad idea but he ignored us and opened the door stepping outside then closed it and cautiously walked towards the bolt cutters and picked them up but then we saw the Alpha come out from behind his crappy jeep.
"Stiles!" Scott and I yelled hitting the door to get Stiles attention. "Come back, come back" we continued to yell then watched as he turned to us then over at his jeep seeing the Alpha, he stood up quickly and ran back over getting inside just in time as the Alpha chased him and he slid the bolt cutters into the door before we looked back out the windows but couldn't see the Alpha anywhere.
"Where is it?" Scott asked panting for breath. "Where'd it go?" I shook my head because I couldn't see it anymore so we slowly backed up away from the doors. "That wont hold will it?" Scott asked looking at Stiles.
"Probably not" he replied as I turned to look down the dark and foreboding hallway just as we heard a distant howl which made us run into the nearest classroom and they ran over to the desk and attempted to move it to block the door before Stiles stopped. "Shh stop, stop that doors not gonna keep it out"
"I know" Scott replied.
"It's your boss" I spat angrily thinking back to Derek who was probably still lying dead out there with that thing and I hadn't believed him.
"What?" Scott asked me stupidly.
"Deaton, the Alpha, your boss" Stiles replied backing me up.
"No" Scott protested.
"Yes murdering psycho werewolf"
"That can't be" Scott still argued with us.
"Oh come on, he disappears and that thing shows up ten seconds later to toss Derek twenty feet through the air, that's not convenient timing?" Stiles spat back at him.
"It's not him" Scott argued.
"He killed Derek!" I exclaimed quietly at him and hugged Derek's jacket that was still around me.
"No Derek's not dead, he can't he dead" Scott still persisted in arguing which was really starting to get on my nerves.
"Blood spurted out of his mouth okay, that doesn't exactly qualify as I minor injury!" I argued with him glaring at him as I fought the tears that wanted to spill over again but I wouldn't cry, I can't show that type of weakness especially in the lines of danger.
"He's dead and were next" Stiles added again backing me up.
"Okay just…what do we do?" Scott replied finally seeing an ounce of reason.
"We get to my jeep, we get out of here and you seriously think about quitting your job, good?" Stiles said then headed over to the windows and Scott tried to open one of them. "No they don't open, the schools climate controlled"
"Then we break it" Scott replied looking around.
"Which will make a lot of noise" I argued.
"Then…then we run really fast" Scott replied scanning the carpark.
"We don't all have enhanced speed Scott" I remarked looking at Stiles knowing he'd likely be the one to spastically trip and get mauled.
"Really fast" Scott added shrugging and I rolled my eyes then hit the back of his head.
"God be any dumber Scott" I watched as he suddenly turned to where Stiles' jeep was parked with confusion written all over his face.
"Stiles what's wrong with the hood of your jeep?"
"What do you mean, nothings wrong?" Stiles replied following Scott's gaze towards his jeep.
"It's bent" Scott pointed out.
"You mean dented?" Stiles asked him sounding angry.
"No I mean bent"
"What the hell…" Stiles was cut off as the glass above us shattered causing us to drop to the ground instinctively and watched something slide across the floor before Stiles turned the torch to light it up. "That's my battery" Stiles tried to stand but Scott grabbed his arm and pulled him back down.
"Don't move"
"We have to move" Stiles replied looking over at him.
"He could be right outside" Scott protested.
"He is right outside, thanks to you two idiots!" I snapped angrily because this was all their fault for this stupid idiotic plan.
"Just let me take a look?" Scott asked then leaned up and peeked out the window scanning the carpark again before looking back down at us.
"Anything?" Stiles asked him, Scott shook his head. "Move now?"
"Move now" Scott nodded, we stood up and left the classroom back into the dark hallway which didn't seem any better in my opinion. "This way" Scott pointed to the left but Stiles grabbed his shoulder stopping him.
"No, no, no somewhere without windows"
"Every single room in this building has windows" I argued then bent down and grabbed my dagger out of my boot and watched their eyes widen at the sight of it.
"Somewhere with less windows" Stiles clarified.
"The locker room" Scott supplied and Stiles quickly agreed and although I hated the idea, it was best we stuck together so I followed them down into the stinky boys locker room, closing the door behind me. "Call your dad" Scott spoke up looking at Stiles.
"And tell him what?" Stiles spat back at him.
"I don't know anything, there's a gas leak, a fire, whatever" I rolled my eyes. "If that thing sees the parking lot filled with cop cars, it'll take off"
"What if it doesn't?" Stiles exclaimed quietly. "What if it goes completely terminator and kills every cop in sight, including my dad?"
"They have guns" Scott argued and my mind flashed to my very illegal spare Glock 43 9mm which was in my locker.
"Yeah and Derek had to be shot with a wolfsbane laced bullet to even slow him down, you remember that?"
"Then we…we have to…your dad" Scott stuttered then turned to me. "Call your dad"
"Again tell him what, do you want him and the Argent's knowing about you" I snapped and he sighed shaking his head.
"Then we have to find a way out and just run for it" he quickly said offering up a different solution.
"There's nothing near the school for a least a mile" Stiles argued with him.
"What about Derek's car?" Scott asked.
"That could work" Stiles agreed as I glared at them. "We go outside, we get the keys off his body and then take his car"
"And him" I snapped hitting his arm.
"Fine whatever" Stiles agreed then headed towards the door and was just about to open it when Scott grabbed his hand stopping him. "What?"
"I think I heard something"
"Like what?" I asked him panicking.
"Shh quiet" Scott replied then we started to hear footsteps coming towards the door so we backed up. "Hide" Scott added and Stiles looked at him for a second before suddenly opening a locker very nosily and got inside so Scott and I quickly did the same.
I heard the door knob turn and someone walked in so I put my hand over my mouth to minimise the sound of my heavy breathing because I really don't want to die in a stinky boy's locker room, I raised the dagger into a better striking aim as the footsteps grew louder then there was a scream and I heard Scott and Stiles open their lockers jumping out but when I tried to exit Scott pushed on the locker keeping it closed.
"Son of a bitch" the janitor exclaimed.
"Quiet" Scott quickly said shushing him.
"Quiet my ass, what the hell are you trying to do kill me, both of you get out!"
"Just listen for a second, okay?" Stiles tried to argue.
"Not okay, get the hell out of here right now" he grabbed then and threw them out into the hallway.
"Just hold on" I heard Stiles try to argue.
"Just shut up and go" the janitor was suddenly pulled back into the locker room and the door slammed shut before he began screaming as I heard his body being thrown against the door repeatedly so I tried to stay absolutely quiet hoping the Alpha wouldn't know I was here.
It suddenly fell quiet so I pressed my hand over my mouth again and pulled the dagger up to my chest as the sound of claws scratching against the lockers reached my ears before stopping right in front of the locker I was hiding in and I could hear the Alpha's breath as I got ready to defend myself but it suddenly took off confusing the hell out of me.
I stayed inside the locker for at least a few minutes just to make sure it wasn't some kind of trick but all was silent so I slowly opened the locker and stepped out then shut the locker seeing a spiral carved into the locker I'd been in and I frowned staring at it, I had a bad feeling about this thing leaving that for me so I knew I needed my gun and I had to find the boys.
I slowly and cautiously walked out of the locker room towards my locker and quickly punched in my combination then pulled it open and reached to the roof where I'd tapped it and pulled it down then checked the clip making sure it was still loaded with the wolfsbane bullets and sighed in relief when I saw all ten still there.
I quickly turned when I heard voices and clicked the safety off pointing it towards the noise just in case it was some kind of trick but when I finally registered those voices I quickly clicked the safety back on and stuffed in into the back of my jeans pulling my shirt over it just as Jackson and Lydia walked around the corner.
"Skyler?" Lydia asked when she saw me.
"What are you two doing here?" I asked them back.
"To get Scott, he texted Allison telling her to meet him here so we brought her" my eyebrows knitted in confusion because Scott couldn't have and wouldn't have sent that text.
"Where's Allison?"
"She went looking for Scott like ten minutes ago" Jackson replied so I grabbed my phone and dialled Allison's number and heard it ring from down the hall so I quickly walked towards the doors.
"Skye?" we walked through the door and saw her with Scott and Stiles.
"Finally" Lydia breathed out. "Can we go now?" a loud thud from above interrupted us and straight away I knew it was the Alpha which sent a wave of fear through me.
"Run!" Scott ordered pulling Allison with him just as the Alpha fell through the roof just after we had started running away
I ran as fast as I could as the Alpha growled and continued chasing us through a pair of double doors that led to the cafeteria, Scott bolted the doors shut and began pushing chairs in front of it but I nudged Stiles to get his attention then nodded towards the wall of very large windows in the room.
"Help me get this in front of the door" Scott told Jackson moving more things to barricade the door.
"Wait Scott, not here" Stiles tried to get they're attention.
"What was that?" Allison asked. "Scott, what was that?"
"What came out of the ceiling?" Lydia asked crying.
"Will you just help me?" Scott ignored everybody and continued grabbing stuff and moving them in front of the doors. "The chairs, stack the chairs"
"Guys, can we just wait a second?" Stiles tried again as we watched everyone move things in front of the door. "You guys listen to me…can we wait a second?" they continued to ignore Stiles and staked the chairs. "Guys, Stiles talking…can we hang on one second please" I rolled my eyes then raised my finger to my lips and whistled loudly.
"Hey!" I yelled making Scott, Jackson, Lydia and Allison finally stop and look at us. "Nice job you guys, great work now...what are we gonna do about the 20-foot wall of windows?" I gestured to the windows dramatically.
"Can somebody please explain to me what's going on because I'm freaking out here" Allison spoke up clinging to Scott's arm. "And I would like to know why…Scott?" Scott shook his head then walked over to one of the tables and leaned against it turning away from us and I knew he was trying to come up with something to explain all this the same as I was but nothing was coming to mind except for lying to Allison for the last eight years about the supernatural.
"Somebody killed the Janitor" Stiles finally spoke up and I rolled my eyes as telling them that wasn't going to help us explain this.
"What?" Lydia asked him.
"Yeah the janitors dead" Stiles repeated.
"What's he talking about is this a joke?" Allison asked turning to look at Scott.
"What, who killed him?" Jackson asked looking at Stiles and I stayed well out of this.
"No, no, no this was supposed to be over, the mountain lion killed…"
"No don't you get it, there wasn't a mountain lion" Jackson replied cutting Lydia off.
"Who was it?" Allison cut in still looking at Scott. "What does he want?" she added then lightly touched her forehead and I knew then that she really was freaking out as that was Ally's nervous tell. "What's happening?" she whispered to herself. "Scott!" she yelled looking back up at Scott who was still trying to come up with something.
"I…I don't know" he finally spoke up stuttering. "I just…if we go out there he's gonna kill us"
"Us, he's gonna kill us?" Lydia asked him.
"Who?" Allison added. "Who is it?" I watched Scott shake his head and sigh.
"It's Derek, it's Derek Hale" my eyes widened as I glared at him not believing that he just freaking did that after Derek just died trying to help him.
"Derek killed the janitor?" Jackson asked in a disbelieving tone.
"Are you sure?" Allison asked Scott.
"I saw him" Scott replied and I had to bawl my fists to stop myself from reaching for my gun to shoot Scott.
"The mountain lion…"
"No, Derek killed them" Scott exclaimed cutting Lydia off.
"All of them?" Allison asked him.
"Yeah starting with his own sister" oh now I'm gonna kill him.
"And the bus driver?"
"And the guy in the video store it's been Derek the whole time, he's in here with us and if we don't get out now…he's going to kill us too"
"Call the cops" Jackson said pointing to Stiles.
"No" Stiles replied.
"What do you mean 'no'?" Jackson asked him.
"I mean no, you want to hear it in Spanish, no" Stiles replied glaring at him. "Look Derek killed three people okay, we don't know what he's armed with" I glared at him for going along with Scott and seriously wanted to shoot both of them now.
"Your dad is armed with an entire Sheriff's department, call him" Jackson protested angrily.
"I'm calling" Lydia cut in pulling out her phone.
"No Lydia, would you just hold on a second" Jackson pushed Stiles away from Lydia but Scott quickly got involved stopping Jackson.
"Yes where at Beacon Hills High School, we're trapped and we need you to…but…she hung up on me"
"The police hung up on you?" Allison asked Lydia.
"She said they got a tip warning them that there are gonna be prank calls about a break-in at the high school, she said if I called again that they're gonna trace it and have me arrested"
"Okay then call again" Allison replied but Stiles shook his head.
"No they wont trace a cell then they'll send a car to your house before they send anyone here" Stiles explained.
"What the…what…what is this?" Allison replied touching her forehead again which made me feel really guilty for not telling her about any of her family night life but like dad said it's not our place it's her parents. "Why does Derek want to kill us, why is he killing anyone?" we all turned to Scott since he seemed to have all the answers.
"Why's everyone looking at me?" Scott asked us after seeing this and I glared at him even more.
"Is he the one who sent her the text?" Lydia asked him.
"No, I mean I don't know"
"Is he the one who called the police?" Allison asked him.
"I don't know!" Scott yelled at her and I frowned moving in front of Scott pushing him away from her with Stiles.
"What the hell are you doing Scott?" I whisper shouted at him. "Throwing Derek under the bus like that, job well done" I added sarcastically.
"I didn't know what to say, I had to say something"
"No you didn't you dumbass or you say you didn't see who it was" I replied cutting him off.
"If he's dead then it doesn't matter, right?" Scott just argued.
"Except if he's not!" I exclaimed quietly.
"Oh god, I totally just bit her head off" Scott groaned.
"And she'll totally get over it" Stiles replied getting his attention. "Bigger issues at hand here, like how do we get out alive?"
"But we are alive, it could've killed us already" Scott argued looking back at him. "It's like it's cornering us or something"
"So what, he wants to eat us all at the same time?" Stiles asked him.
"No, Derek said it wants revenge" I frowned recalling the spiral on the locker door.
"Against who?" Stiles asked him as I kept quiet.
"Allison's family, probably hers to" Scott replied pointing at me.
"Maybe that's what the text was about, someone had to send it"
"Okay assheads, new plan" Jackson yelled getting our attention. "Stiles calls his useless dad and tells him to send someone with a gun and decent aim" I reached behind me and felt the cool feeling of my gun still there. "Are we good with that?"
"He's right" Scott replied looking at Stiles. "Tell him the truth if you have to, just call him"
"I'm not watching my dad get eaten alive" Stiles argued quietly glaring at Scott.
"Alright, give me the phone" Jackson tried to grab Stiles' phone but Stiles turned around and punched Jackson in the jaw and I smiled because about time somebody did.
"Jackson!" Allison exclaimed running over to him. "Are you okay?" I frowned towards Allison because I saw Lydia's face fall when she did and had no idea why Allison cared so much for Jackson the guy was a jackass.
"Dad, hey, it's me" Stiles said after pulling out his phone and calling his dad. "And it's your voice mail look, I need you to call me back now like right now" suddenly there was a loud banging at the door and everyone backed away from it huddling together. "We're at the school, dad we're at the school" the door kept shaking and the chairs moved forward. "The kitchen, the door out of the kitchen leads to the stairwell"
"Which only goes up?" Scott argued.
"Up is better than here" I pointed out then we all ran for the kitchen and ran up the stairwell to the second floor then ran into the chemistry room, Scott put a chair in front of the door and we stayed silent listening as footsteps walked past the door.
"Jackson, how many people can fit in your car?" Scott asked him.
"Five if someone squeezes on someone's lap"
"Five" Allison exclaimed quietly. "I barely fit in the back"
"It doesn't matter" I sighed shaking my head. "In case you miscounted there's six or us" I had my bike still out there in the parking lot but knew I wouldn't be able to make it there alive if I guessed correctly and took the spiral on the locker as a warning towards me from the Alpha saying I was next.
"And there's no getting out without drawing attention" Stiles added.
"What about this?" Scott asked going towards the door that leads to the roof. "This leads to the roof we can go down the fire escape to the parking lot in like seconds"
"That's a deadbolt" I pointed out knowing if he tried breaking the lock we'd just be stuck in here.
"The janitor has a key" Scott replied looking at me and Stiles.
"You mean his body has it" Stiles clarified that.
"I can't get it, I can find him by scent, by blood"
"Well gee that sounds like an incredibly terrible idea, what else you got?" Stiles argued with him.
"I'm getting the key" Scott insisted then walked away.
"Oh for the love of…" I groaned quietly. "We can't let him go by himself"
"What do you suggest we do Skye" Stiles asked me.
"I'll go with him" I replied looking up at him.
"What are you crazy?"
"Stiles I'm going with him, he needs someone to watch his back and besides I have a bone to pick with this guy and a gun tucked into my waistband" Stiles looked up shocked and his eyes asked me where the hell I got a gun from but I just shook my head opting not to answer since it was technically illegal in all schools to have a gun on the premises.
Scott talked to Allison for a bit before he looked around and grabbed a long pointer finger holding it up like he was wielding some great weapon so all we looked at him like he was stupid which he was.
"Well it's better than nothing" he argued.
"There's gotta be something else" Stiles spoke up then started looking around.
"There is" Lydia cut in then nodded towards the chemical closet.
"What are we gonna do, throw acid on him?" Stiles retaliated.
"No like a fire bomb, in there is everything you need to make a self-igniting Molotov Cocktail" Lydia replied and I raised an eyebrow at her.
"Self-igniting…"
"Molotov cocktail" Lydia finished cutting Stiles off and we all stared at her in disbelief. "What, I read it somewhere"
"We don't have a key for that either" Stiles replied but Jackson rolled his eyes then used his elbow to break the glass so Lydia grabbed what she needed and got to work mixing the chemicals together in a conical flask while I pulled Scott aside.
"I'm going with you"
"No Skye, it's too-"
"You say too dangerous I'll seriously kill you and don't think I won't I'm already pissed at you don't make it worse" I slipped the gun out but made sure to keep it hidden from the other non-supernatural knowing teens. "It's loaded with wolfsbane, I can help and I'm going with or without you because this Alpha deserves an ass full of wolfsbane for what he did to Derek" he sighed then nodded as I slipped the gun back into my waistline just as Lydia finished and called us over handing Scott the flask.
"No, no this is insane, you can't do this you cannot go out there" Allison protested looking at Scott.
"Ally it's okay I'm going with him" I cut in but it didn't look to help.
"And we can't just sit here waiting for Stiles' dad to check his messages" Scott added walking towards the door with me behind him.
"You two could die, don't you get that he's killed three people" Allison argued shaking her head.
"And we're next" Scott argued back. "Somebody has to do something"
"Scott just stop!" Allison whispered walking towards Scott. "Do you remember…do you remember when you told me you know whether or not I was lying" I frowned looking at Scott. "That I had a tell, so do you, you're a horrible liar and you've been lying all night" Scott shook his head as I glared towards Jackson because he smiled smugly. "Just…just please…please don't go, please don't leave us please" Scott looked up towards the other three in the room.
"Lock it behind us" he replied and went to walk out but Allison pulled him into a kiss that only lasted a few seconds since Scott pulled away before squeezing Allison's arm then we finally walked out and heard Stiles lock the door behind us.
We started walking down the hallway and once we we're a safe distance from the chemistry room I pulled out my gun and held it out in front of me ready to shoot the first thing that crosses our path.
"Get to work Scooby, I got your back" Scott rolled his eyes at my nickname for him but pointed his nose to the air and started following whatever he'd picked up while I stayed on point.
"Do you actually know how to shoot that thing?" I scoffed rolling my eyes.
"I've been shooting guns, crossbows, standard bow and arrows since I was six, all part of my dad's early training exercises" he looked surprised but I just shrugged.
We fell into silence as we walked past the locker rooms with Scott hopefully following the scent and I followed wordlessly as he led us into the gym before he stopped and turned towards the bleaches.
"Don't tell me he's under there" he looked up nodding so I sighed as he walked under and slowly got smaller before he stopped and looked up.
I heard a low growl coming from behind me so I spun around and looked for the Alpha but couldn't see anything there so I turned back around when the bleachers creaked and saw Scott starting to climb up and trying to reach for something.
"Scott!" I whispered then suddenly the bleachers began to close "Scott get out of there, they're closing!" I screamed about to run in there but then got hit and went flying across the gym floor before hitting my head against the wall. "Son of a bitch!" I groaned feeling the back of my head and felt a wet patch so I brought my hand to my face and saw red, blood.
"Skye?" I looked up and saw Scott standing next to the now closed bleachers. "Shoot it" I looked up and saw the Alpha and reached for my gun firing off a few shots but the Alpha managed to dodge each one then he grabbed my arm and squeezed making me scream as I heard and felt the bone snap in two causing me to drop the gun.
"Scott the acid!" I yelled before the Alpha tossed me aside again and I landed against another wall sending pain up my shoulder as I fell to the ground clutching my broken arm and just managed to see Scott throw the Molotov cocktail at the Alpha but nothing happened.
"Damn it" I heard Scott say before the Alpha grabbed his leg and threw him across the gym before hovering over him and howled making me cover my ears from the loudness as my whole vision went blurry from the head wound, I could hear Scott groaning and yelling before he looked up with glowing gold eyes and they fell straight onto me.
"No, Scott no please" I tried to crawl away but the pain in my arm stopped me. "Ow" my vision was fuzzier and all I could see his shadowed figure coming towards me before suddenly another showed up and pushed him out of the way sending Scott scampering away before I felt the heaviness in my head get worse and my head lulled falling towards the ground as I passed out but swear I felt someone catch me before it could smack against the floor.
"Skyler?" I heard someone calling out making me slowly start blinking my eyes open. "Skye?" my eyes finally opened and I saw my brother sitting on the edge of the bed. "Hey little sis, how you feeling?"
"Where am I?" I asked looking around and noticed the very sterile looking room.
"Your in the hospital" I frowned and tried to sit up but winced in pain. "I'd take it easy, you've got a few broken ribs, broken wrist and a concussion" I shook my head as I tried to recall what happened but it was all kind of fuzzy, I remember the Alpha attacking me but that's about it.
"Where's dad?" I asked looking around the room noticing he wasn't here.
"Downstairs, he's been in here all day watching you" I looked over towards the window seeing the sun well into the sky. "You've been asleep for over ten hours Skye" I shook my head then sat up very carefully as he adjusted the bed for me. "What we're you thinking Skye, going after the Alpha alone"
"I…I just…" I shook my head. "I can't remember" I opted onto figuring lying was my best option.
"Skyler!" I looked up and saw my dad rushing in to my other side and brushed his hand over my forehead. "Oh you had us worried kiddo" I nodded putting on a show with a few tears.
"I'm sorry dad"
"What we're you doing at the school Skye"
"I can't remember" I repeated.
"What does it have to do with these two boys you we're with" I frowned forgetting all about that.
"We we're…I think we were pulling a prank on one of the teachers but the Alpha showed up and I…I tried to take him on, I wanted to prove myself" he sighed and shook his head.
"What have I told you about being out that late Skye, you could've been killed" I nodded letting a few tears fall down my face just as there was a knock on the door and the Sheriff walked in.
"Sorry to interrupt but Skyler…it's Skyler right?" I nodded. "Are you up to answer a few questions for me?"
"Sheriff my daughter just woke up" my dad argued.
"Dad it's okay" I cut in and nodded at the Sheriff. "Ask away Sheriff" he looked at my dad for confirmation.
"Stiles and Scott said it was Derek Hale at the school can you confirm this?" I frowned and pretended to think for a minutes.
"I'm not sure, I don't remember much" I replied.
"Did you see who attacked you?" I shook my head.
"It was too dark to see and they attacked me from behind"
"Alright well that's all for now but if you can remember anything else be sure to give us a call alright"
"I will Sheriff" I agreed even though I wouldn't.
"You get some more rest" I nodded then watched him leave before a nurse came in and told my brother and father that visiting hours we're almost over and that I should be getting some more rest.
"Call us if you need anything Skye" my dad said before kissing me on the forehead before my brother leaned in and hugged me carefully.
"I know your lying your little ass off sis" he whispered in my ear before leaving with my dad and I frowned unsettled by that because if there was one thing about Jake, he hated secrets especially between us and he was relentless in discovering what I was hiding so it'd only be a matter of time but then Derek's dead so I don't have to hide that anymore.
"Get some rest Skyler" I looked up at the nurse, she had long brown hair and familiar brown eyes so I looked at her nametag and saw McCall.
"McCall, your Scott's mother?" she smiled and nodded.
"You know Scott?" I nodded. "Well I'll make sure to give you a extra jelly cup for breakfast hey" she lowered the bed. "Now are you in pain at all?"
"A little" I admitted laying down and wincing when I jostled my ribs and arm which had a huge cast on it.
"Okay I'll come back with some pain meds" she disappeared then returned two minutes later with a cup of water and small container with pills in it, I quickly took them and she turned out the lights. "Sleep Skye" I nodded then watched her leave before moving to stare up at the ceiling then broke down in sobs as my mind drifted back to Derek as I can still see him sailing through the air hitting the wall and falling motionless but nobody had mentioned finding his body at the scene so maybe he wasn't dead.
I heard the door suddenly start creaking open so I pretended to be asleep thinking Mrs McCall was back but the footsteps were too heavy to belong to a woman so I peeked one eye open and saw nothing but a black figure making me sit up abruptly thinking it was the Alpha but then I saw the familiar shadowed outline.
"Derek?" he stepped into the light and my eyes widened to see it really was him. "Oh my god!" I jumped out of bed ignoring the pain and ran towards him throwing my arms around him "Your alive!" he chuckled quietly.
"Skye you need to be careful" he bent down and grabbed me behind the knees and around my back picking me up bridal style carrying me back to bed and setting me down gently.
"How are you…how are you here, I saw you…all that blood?"
"Shh" he brushed his hand over my cheek moving my hair behind my ear. "I'm okay, I healed it just took time" I shook my head then grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him towards me pressing my lips against his.
"Don't ever do that to me again Derek Hale or next time I'll be the one killing you" he chuckled and nodded then kissed my forehead.
"Lay down you need sleep" I shook my head because there was no way I could sleep now.
"I can't sleep now, I want to know how you healed from that?"
"Skye we have plenty of time" I rolled my eyes making him sigh. "Your so stubborn"
"Yes I am so live with it, what happened?" he chuckled then took a seat beside me on the bed.
"I thought I was dead, I'm pretty sure I should be but I heard you yelling my name and knew I couldn't just let go like that so I fought and by the time I came to I heard the Alpha howling and ran in just in time to get Scott away from you before he attacked"
"That was you?" I vaguely remembered someone else being there before I'd passed out.
"I stayed with you until I heard the Sheriff and paramedics coming" I nodded then realised that the Sheriff thinks he committed all the murders.
"Forget about helping Scott, he blamed your for all the deaths including your sisters" he looked down sighing.
"I know which I why I'm here, I had to see you and make sure you we're okay because I'm going to have to lay low for a while and that means we can't see each other as much" I frowned and angrily shook my head.
"No I just got you back, you can't leave me"
"Hey I'm here" he grabbed my hand pulling it towards his lips and kissed the back of it. "Its for your protection Skye, the Argent's are going to want answers out of you and I heard your brother, he's suspicious and they have reason to be since you shouldn't have even been there last night, you were because of me and they'll try and get it out of you"
"They wont get a thing out of me Derek, I'm tougher than I look" he smiled shaking his head playfully at me.
"I know you are but the Argent's…" he sighed looking down towards the ground. "You've never been on their firing line Skye and I don't want that for you"
"Derek please, we can't be apart…I can't lose you again" he moved up the bed.
"You won't Skye, I promise okay" he pressed his forehead against mine. "Your my life, my happiness, my everything Skye so until this passes over I need you to be safe and please stay away from the Alpha" I frowned about to shake my head. "Please for me, I don't want to see you hurt like this again" his fingers touched up and underneath the hospital gown to trace over my side over my ribs.
"Okay so long as the people I care about aren't in danger" he sighed closing his eyes.
"I guess I can deal with those conditions" I smiled then wrapped my arms around his neck and played with the small bits of hair at the nape of his neck before pulling his face to mine and kissed him before breaking apart only for air.
"Lay with me" he looked up and I could see him about to protest. "Just until I fall asleep" he sighed then nodded his head, I moved over and he laid down atop the sheets while I carefully snuggled down into them since the pain meds we're kicking in now.
It was a little squishy in this tiny hospital bed but I could care less and moved around until I was comfortably laying against Derek with my head on his chest as he wrapped his arm around my waist holding me to him.
"Sleep my beautiful Skye" I chuckled and hid my face in his chest to hide the blush that creeped up my cheeks.
"Your really corny you know that" he leaned down and pressed his lips to my forehead.
"Only for you and in the confines of our private little bubble" I laughed quietly then wrapped my arm around his waist and closed my eyes letting sleep take over and fell asleep comforted by the sound and feeling of Derek's heat beating underneath my ear.
