Chapter 4

Derek's POV


A half hour earlier...

I walked- more like stumbled - down a street, totally unaware of where I was, when I slammed into someone. I went down like a rock, slapping my back on the pavement. My leather jacket at least kept the rocks from lodging themselves into my skin. I looked up to see none other then the idiot bully, Jackson.

"HEY! This is worth more than your life." He scoffed, brushing of his jacket. "Uh, you're that Hale guy, right?"

I managed to pull myself up and nodded.

"So, he buys from you. What are you selling?"

"Who?"

"McCall."

"I don't sell." He shoved me.

"Don't lie!" He went to shove me again, but I grabbed him by his neck and forced him to the ground. He cried out, and I realized that I had put my claws into his neck. At that point I was running.


Stiles and I drove to the only place I could go: the Vet. Kate was right... I am just another animal. Scott had his date with Allison, and had convinced her to have her dad meet him over dinner. During that time, he will have to find the bullet.

"Dude, you're not looking good right now, and I deistically smell... You just reek of... I can't explain it other than the smell of death." He rubbed his head awkwardly before pulling over. "Dude, what's going on with you?"

"I don't know wh-"

"Don't you dare say you don't know what I'm talking about." He cut me off. "First you cancel training with Scott, then you show up, like, an hour later with some weird bullet in your arm. What happened." It was more of a demanding statement than a question.

"..."

"Derek..."

"She happened."

"Who?"

"She invaded my life."

"Who?"

"..."

"Derek, you better tell me or I swear to god... I'll... Burn down your hou- Oh wait, that wont work. I'll kill your fa- That won't work either." The sarcasm was pouring out of his mouth.

"You're a horrible person."

"I know. It keeps me awake at night."

"Know, turn this car on or I will rip your throat out... with my teeth."

He put his hands and forehead on the wheel with a heavy sigh. "Fine... Fine. I see that this is going nowhere... But I will find out."


Present...

I was trying to explain what we need to do when I collapsed onto the tile floor.

Laura stood in front of me, smiling. "Be happy, Derek."

Then Stiles decided it was a good idea to punch me in the face to wake me.

I bit open the bullet, poured the contents on the familiar table, lit them with my lighter, and put the burning powder in the growing wound. With a cry on agony, I fell onto the floor as the hole shrunk and disappeared.


Next Day...

We sat in my blackened living room, as he tried to figure things out.

"So... you gonna tell me?"

"..."

"Come on..." Stiles nudged my shoulder playfully.

"No."

"Don't be such a sour wolf." I turned my head to glare at him. "Does it have something to do with... Allison? Her dad? Kate?"

I froze at the mention of her name.

"Ah ha... Kate." He rubbed his chin, smiling, obviously content with his 'detective' work. "So, what did she do? Besides the whole 'burned your house and family' thing... Not helping." He shook his head, scolding himself. "You have to tell me at some point."

"No, I don't."

"Yes, you do."

"No, I don't."

"Ye-"

"Say it, I dare you."

"..."

"That's what I thought. Unlike me, you have a family I can kill, and a house to burn down." The dark humor made Stiles suddenly depressed.

"I already know what it's like to lose someone. Now, I'm losing Scott. Forgive me for trying to be a part of your life."

This runt was playing the guilt trip. "Stiles..."

"Forget it." He got up and had his hand on the knob when I caved.

"I kissed her. A few times..." He turned around slowly, and I continued. "She came looking for me, and I had her pinned but I couldn't kill her. Her eye's were... Just as I remembered 4 years ago. Then she shot me..."

"Uh..."

"Let me finish. She shot me, then saved me with the help of Scott's boss. Whatever he gave me, I was probably tripping my balls off and kissed her."

"But..."

"When I could think straight, we kissed again. And I realized that-"

"You love her." He cocked his head. "Well, this could be proven as problematic." He thought of something and laughed.

"What?"

"If you and Kate get married, and Scott and Allison do, you and Scott will be Uncle and nephew... in-law."

"Shut up."


Short, I know. Mostly Stiles and Derek banter, so I thought that was funny. Know, Stiles knows of Derek's secret... What will this lead to? What will Kate do next?

Next chapter will be Kate and Allison(I think), maybe even Allison's Dad. Reviews are always loved, and I'm sorry for the delay again! Don't forget to follow me on twitter for updates and Teen Wolf talks! KenzieShine (Spammers will be blocked) Thanks!
