Title: Don't play with fire!


Derek shot up from his restless sleep panting and covered in sweat. He had just had another nightmare about the house fire. He shut his eyes tight trying to steady his breathing. 'Its just a dream' he tryed telling his self. But it was much more than that. It was real. It had happened. And couldn't stop thinking that it was his fault.

Derek took a deep slow breath tying to clear his head. He got ran down stairs and out side. He started sprinting into the woods around his house. So he was on hands and knees pushing himself faster. He started to shift, turning into full alpha mode. He loved how fast and strong he felt. He ran faster trying to leave the memories of the fire behind him.

He let his instincts and senses take over. He felt the wind against his face and the felt the trigs and leaves crunch under his paws.

He heard, he heard ...

Stiles.

"Stop hogging all of the marshmallows." Derek heard Stiles say.

Derek started run in the direction of Stiles voice. Thats when he saw them. Stiles and Scott wrestling over a bag off marshmallows. It looked like they were camping out. He noticed the tent and, and ... fire.

He flinched at the sound of the flames crackling. He stared at flames as they showed a collage of red, orange, and yellow. The smell of the burning wood ingnited the flash back that he had been trying so desperately to hold back.

Dereck was driving home from his date with Kate. He smiled to himself thinking about her. He couldn't shake off the feeling that she was acting kind of weird the whole day.

He shook it off knowing that he would never understand the woman and everything that went on in that mind of hers.

As he drew closer to his house, he could smell something burning. It wasn't the usual burning from like when they use to camp out and be told the histories and rituals of the werewolfs. No, this was different.

He sped up a little and the scent got stronger and he got closer. It was almost sufficating.

Through the trees that surrounded the house he could see flames bursting into the sky.

Then thats when he heard it. His family. Screamming the pleas for help.

He abruptly stoped the car and jumped out sprinting toward the house. He came to a dead stop when he took in the scene infront of him.

The house was on fire. His family was still traped inside. He heard their screams of agony.

Derek tried to come up with a way to get his family out of the house. His mind was going a mile a minute. He ran to the porch and opened the door. Flames came bursting out, knocking Dereck down. He couldn't get in.

Soon he heard less and less screams. He knew why. He fell to his knees and screamed at the sky.

Dereck was panting as he was brought back to reality. Rage washed over his body like a rushing water fall. Dereck still in alpha mode crouched down and started growling vigorously.

"Oh my ..." Stiles trailed off. Scott turned and faced Derek.

"Put it out!" Derek growled in his alpha voice.

A surge of fear went through both the boys as they continued to stare at Derek not moving.

"What ..." Was all Scott said.

"Put. It. out." Derek said once again.

Scott was confused until he thought about the only thing that they could put out. The fire.

He started picking up hand fulls of dirt and throwing it on the fire. Stiles realizing what he was doing went and got some water bottles they had brought with them and poured it on the flames. Soon the flames were out and the only light they had was the light from the moon.

"What do you think you were doing?" Derek asked, inching toward them.

"Um, uh we were ca camping out?" Scott stammered, making it sound like a question than a statement.

"Are you two idiots? Why would you be camping out here? On my property." Derek growled.

"Uh, we, I don't know." Stiles said.

"You don't know." Derek reaped, still moving towards them.

"What's the big deal. So what if we were camping out. Its not the first time we've been on your property." Scott said.

"No, but its the first time you made a fire." Derek growled.

Scott looked at him confused until he remembered what happened a few years ago.

"Oh, man we're sorry. We weren't thinking." Scott apologized.

"Clearly." Derek said.

"So you don't like fire?" Stiles asked.

Derek gave him a 'duh' expression, glaring at him.

Stiles pulled out a lighter from his pocket and rubbed his thumb against the roller which ignited the flame. He held it up and out towards Derek.

Derek growled and started to back away.

Scott hit Stiles in the back of his head, making him let the flame die.

"What are you doing." Scott asked.

"Oh come on, I was just messing with him." Stiles said, smiling.

Derek growled deeply and pounced on Stiles, pinning him down.

"Didn't anyone ever tell you not to play with fire? Or an alpha werewolf." Derek roared, and chuckled darkly.
