Chapter 7: School Night

Derek ran to Alice, fell to his knees and gathered her into his arms, "Lily! Lily! Come on, wake up!" her shook her. She remain limp in his arms, Derek listens for her heartbeat, it was still there. He looks down at her, then pulls her into his arms. Derek ran for his car, pushes the seat back and place her in the passenger side.

He then ran to the driver side, got in, started his engine and took off, leaving Scott and Stiles to fiend for themselves. He arrives at the Hale estate, pulls Alice into his arms, he ran inside and place her on the couch. He kneels down beside her, taking a hold of her hand, taking her pain away, "Please, you have to make it through this." Derek tells her and he struggles with the amount of pain coursing through him. Then Alice started to cough, regaining conciseness. "Alice." he looks at her, she opens her eyes and looks up at him, "Derek?" she mumbles, he let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, ow." she groans, trying to sit up.

"Hey, don't move, you're body still needs to heal." he tells her, pushing her down, "What happen?" she asks him in a weak voice, "The Alpha showed up, you push me out of the way and the Alpha stabs you in the back with his claws then threw you at the wall. I brought you here, so you can heal and so I can take away your pain." he reminds her, she sighs. Laying back down, "It happen so fast, I just reacted." she tells him. Derek strokes her hair, "Easy, just breath." he tells her, Alice took deep breaths, calming down. "Scott, I have to save him." Alice mumbles trying to sit up again, "You barely have the strength to move, let along walk." Derek shot back at her.

She glares at him, then laid down. "Once I'm healed, I'm going after him." she tells him, then closes her eyes. Derek sighs, now understanding her stubborn nature. But he didn't let go of her hand, he weds his fingers with hers and saw she was now drifting to sleep. He then moves her up and sat behind her her, laying her in his arms and held her, she felt more safe and protected in his arms.

After three hours of resting, Alice stirs awake from hearing her phone blasting off, she groans, she reaches into her pocket, pulling her phone out and answers it. "Hello?" she answers in a husky tone, "Alice, you're alright!" Stiles shouts through the other line, she flinches a little, "Stiles, I just woke up, please keep it down." she tells him, rubbing her eye. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up, I'm just relieve you're alright." he tells her, "Hm-mmm, what is Stiles?" she asks him, snuggling deeper into Derek's arms. "Well the thing is Scott and Allison, maybe kinda broke up and Derek is a wanted fugitive of the state." Stiles tells her.

"Are you serious?" she asks in an annoy tone, "Yeah and that the Alpha wanted to make Scott get rid of his old pack." Stiles went on, "He wants Scott and I to kill our pack to join his." she states, "Uh, yeah. How did you know?" he asks her, "Lucky guess, so any plans?" she asks him. "Honestly, I have no clue, does Derek have any ideas?" he asks her, "Not right now, I'll ask him the next time I see him." she tells him, "Okay, take care." he tells her.

She nods, "Yeah okay, later Stiles." she mumbles and ends the call, the looks up and saw that Derek was awake, "Why did you lie?" he asks her, "Felt like the right think to do." she answers, he sighs rubbing her shoulder. "It's official, I'm no longer apart of his pack or can't join." she states, Derek smiles then look down at her. "I wonder why." he states, "... Derek does this happen with bitten wolves?" she asks him. He's smiles falls, his hand rested on her shoulder, "No, not that I heard of." he answers her, "Then whys is it happening to me?" she asks again, Derek looks at her then held her in his arms, hearing her heart beat out of fear.
