4. The trouble with Finn
"What are they doing?" Meredith stared at Izzie, Owen and Teddy. They were on the cliffs, jumping down. Meredith could see that they're fighting. "They're in trouble, should we.."
"They're cliff diving." Finn replied "All of us do it. Only the most of us, don't jump of such a high buildings We let the showing of to Izzie and her guys."
"You don't like them?" Meredith stared at him. "I met Izzie and them, they seem okay."
"They think they run this place." Finn stared at them. "Calling themselves, bad asses. They call themselves the protectors. They really are.."
"Protecting what?" Meredith stared at him. "I mean.."
"Everything." Finn replied "They think they're like Buffy the vampire slayer, or the charmed ones. That it's their so called destiny to protect the woods."
"Isn't that Jackson?" Meredith noticed "I thought he was.."
"He missed some school then, out of nowhere, he's following Izzie around" Finn explains. "Same thing happened with Teddy and Owen. They weren't even friends, now Izzie owns them. Izzie keeps giving me this look, like she's waiting for me or something;. It's freaking me out."
"So ignore them." Meredith stares at him. "If it gets worse, just come to my school. Then I have someone to hang out with. And you can meet Cristina, she's the coolest."
"Thank you." Finn smiled "And I think, maybe you should bring Cristina and Vanessa. You should bring Vanessa."
"She's pregnant." Meredith rolled her eyes. "4 months and 3 weeks. George her boyfriend is the father. What does cliff diving feel like anyway?"
"It's like a total rush." Finn stared at her.
"Maybe we should do it." Meredith smiled at him.
"First the motorcycles, now the cliff diving." Finn stared at her. "You have changed. Maybe we'll do it on a warmer day. And from less high. Wouldn't want you to get scared."
"I'm not scared." Meredith hit him playfully.
"Come on. Let's go try those bikes." Finn smiled at her.
"Why is Meredith hanging out with that outcast guy?" Lexie stared at her. "I mean Finn, he's outcast. No one hangs out with these guys. I mean they say they're creepy. Have you even seen Izzie."
"Yeah, I saw Izzie." Alex replied "I stared at her twice. And she's fine.."
"Yeah, so is Owen." Cristina replied "I mean, talking about fine. I mean he's handsome. We could like pick Meredith up. And then maybe we'll see Owen and Izzie."
"Izzie." Alex turned his face towards the rest. "I think I'm in love. "
"Or you just horny." Vanessa smiled at him.
"Talk about horny." Alex smiled "I mean you got pregnant by being horny. I mean you and McCute sure had a decent relationship. Everyone is talking about you. I mean.."
"I know." Vanessa placed her hands on her stomach. "And I don't care."
"She doesn't care." Lexie replied "Maybe we should go to the movies. They show face punch. An action movie. We could ask some of them. I mean Izzie, Owen.. People like those."
"Good idea." Cristina reacted "I definitely want to talk to Owen again. I mean Meredith is starting to lose it. I mean she's worried about you. Because of a couple dreams. Like she believes, they can predict the future."
"Oh,." Lexie stared at them. "I once dream that my dog was going to eat my homework. And the next day, he did."
"You don't have a dog." Arizona reacted "You know what, this may sound crazy. But I' miss Callie. I mean, we had so much fun at prom. And the next day, she's gone."
"Yeah, we don't miss the Shepherds" Alex reacted "They were nothing but trouble. They didn't show up to all classes, and they were cocky. Maybe Addison, she was hot."
"So do you have a crush on Izzie?" Vanessa turned her face to meet his. "Or are you in love with Addison?"
"Izzie." Alex replied "Addison is gone either ways. So there's no question. The Shepherds are never coming back."
"I hope they will." Lexie admitted "I mean George mind want to know that he's about to be a daddy. And Meredith would be happy when Derek returns. And I can take a chance on McSteamy. And everyone.;"
"Yeah." Arizona admitted "I would be happy if they return. Very."
"Some of us don't care." Naomi replied "Some of us just want to make it trough the day. And they were creepy any way."
"I can't help but think there was something weird about them." Alex replied "I mean, Derek always looked at me. Like he knew what was on my mind. Specially, staring at Meredith. It's like he could read my mind."
"That's stupid." Lexie replied "I mean.. "
"Yeah." Vanessa took her book, running out of the cafeteria. Lexie stared at her. And walked behind her. She stepped in front of her. Vanessa turned to her. Seeing the tears in her eyes. Vanessa missed George,.
"I know you miss him." Lexie replied "I know."
"You don't." Vanessa turned to Lexie "I haven't been able to get some decent sleep in.. I mean since he's been gone. Meredith is not talking to me. I'm losing my sister. And your mum is all over the baby. I don't know if I can do this. I need George! God damn it! I need George!"
"I know." Lexie hugged her "I know.."
"Brake" He slowly touches her hand touching the brake. "clutch. Right." She squeezes his hand. "Okay, Gas. Are you ready for take off?"
"Yes." Meredith reacted staring in front of her. Ready to drive the motorcycle all by herself. Finn was standing beside her. The road was long. And straight. Meredith couldn't imagine doing anything wrong on this. And she believed it was not dangerous enough to see Derek this way. Meredith pushes the gas. She starts driving the bike very fast.
"Stop." Derek appears in front of her. Touching the brakes. Trying to make her pull it. But Meredith doesn't. Instead she squeezes the gas pedal even tighter. She's going fast. At the side of the road, Derek appears. Trying to make her stop. But it doesn't do anything. Meredith stares at him. Turning her head away from the road. She panics. On moment, she starts to panic. Beyond panic. Derek is everywhere. And she can't get him to leave. The next moment she's in pain. She can hear Finn yell at her. And she can hear a motor getting closer. Finn is on it.
"Meredith." He sits down next to her. She notices that her head is bleeding. And she stares at Finn. "Bruises? Are you okay? I mean What were you doing? Practicing to be a stunt woman on the X-files?"
"No." Meredith stared back. To find that Derek was gone. "I want to go again."
"No." Finn stared at her. "Look at you. Look at your head. I'm taking your motorcycle privileges, Mer."
Finn takes off his shirt. Revealing his abs; Meredith can't help but stare at him. He places the shirt loving at her head. Meredith slowly stares in his eyes. She didn't want to stare at Finn. She didn't even want to think about Finn. Everything on her mind should be Derek. But she couldn't help but stare.
"You're bleeding." Meredith stared at his green eyes.
"I'm sorry." Meredith reacted out of habit. The Shepherds didn't like it when Meredith was bleeding. And most of the times it didn't end in puppy's and ice cream. Usually, Meredith would end up apologizing to Derek. And that only happened once. Meredith couldn't help. She was a bit scared.
"You're apologizing for bleeding?" Finn smiled "You shouldn't do that. It's just blood."
Meredith concentrated on staring at him once more again. She stared in his eyes. Hoping that Finn would not return her gaze. But there was a moment when he did.
"Why are you staring at me?" Finn smiled at her.
"You're actually good looking." Meredith reacted "I mean I never noticed that before."
"How hard did you hit your head?" Finn laughed it off.
Finn offers her a hand. She gets up. Feeling his warm hand in hers. It's different then with Derek. Derek was usually cold. And it felt like Finn was burning up. The irony didn't get to her.
"You're hot." Meredith reacted. She could see Finn gave her a smile.
"Oh, and that's an upgrade from good looking." Finn stared at her.
"No, temperature hot." Meredith touched his forehead "You're burning up."
"I feel fine." Finn takes her hand in his. "But thank you for being so concerned about me."
Meredith dropped his hand, placing her hands back. She stared at Finn, who's face was changing from a smile to something else. A serious face she could imagine.
"I'm just holding your hand." Finn stared at her.
"It just means something else to me." Meredith stared at him. "then it means to you. I just .."
"One, that's my problem." Finn stared at her. "Two, we're having fun. And you think I'm hot."
"Good looking." Meredith smiled "I told you were good looking."
"I know you like me." Finn hang closer to her. "And I really like you. So.."
"I like you better then anyone." Meredith turned away from him. "But that's it."
"Because of Shepherd?" Meredith didn't react. She couldn't react. "Look I know what he did to you. I can see it in your face every time you mention him. He hurt you. He broke you heart. But I promise that I will never ever do that to you. I will never ever hurt you. You can count on that. I'll never leave you."
"I already know." Meredith touched his hand. "You are already my best friend. And I don't know if those feelings for you will change. I mean.."
"Meredith." She heard Lexie's voice. All her friends were standing there. Even Vanessa who was sitting at the back seat of the van. "Coming to the movies?"
"Sure." Meredith stared at Finn. "Want to go Finn?"
"Sure." He stared at her. Leaving the conversation behind them. He didn't feel like talking about it anymore.
But after the movie,
Finn disappeared.
"Finn, it's me." Meredith replied to the phone. "I know that you're busy. But I haven't seen you since, the movie. And I want to know if you're okay. And I'm worried."
Meredith puts the phone down. The next day, she calls him again. No reaction. There's never reaction. She lost him. She lost Finn. Was it because she didn't love him back?
"Finn, please call me back." Meredith replied. That afternoon his father call. He told me he was sick. And that he was to sick to call me back. That he was way to sick. But She wouldn't believe it. I wouldn't. He promised me he'd never hurt her. And now he was hurting her. His absence hurt her. Just like Derek's it hurt Meredith.
And without him. I was more afraid of the whole in my chest.
Of the nightmares. I needed Derek more then Ever.
Meredith slowly takes her bag back. She steps in her car. Driving on the cold roads of Seattle. To the forest. To the place where they were once happy. To the open place in the woods. Derek's property. The place where they were going to build a house. It was high up in the mountains. And it had a view of whole Seattle. The only place that was almost always sunny.
I needed to know that he existed.
There was only one place I mind him.
Or the feeling of him.
Meredith stares around. All the flowers have died. The flowers that were so alive previous year. Now there was nothing left anymore. Derek had torn away the trailer her sometimes lived in. He had torn away the chairs. And he had let the flowers die on his property. And she couldn't see Derek. The meadow had died, when her love had. Everything she loved ha died. And she wanted to see him. Now more then ever. She wanted to see him. Meredith sits down on both of her hands. Crying. Crying. She's sad. No one is there to catch her. And the pill she's been taken, keep giving her horrible headaches.
"Meredith?" Dr. Burke was standing in the meadow. Staring at her.
"Preston!" Meredith stares at him.
"I must admit." Burke walked a bit closer. "I didn't expect to find you here."
"I live here." Meredith replied sarcastically. "But you, I thought you were in Alaska with Carlisle's friend."
"Oh yes." Burke replied "Dr. Sidney Herron. It was kind of him to arrange, given my association with Erica and Carlin."
"You tried to help us." Meredith admitted.
"I went to visit the Shepherd, but their house is empty. I'm surprised they left you behind. Weren't you sort of a pet of theirs? And did they take the baby sister with you?"
"Umh, something like that.." Meredith reacted. She started to get afraid. Specially when Derek appeared in front of her. He was still wearing the same clothes he was, when he left. And Meredith couldn't help but get afraid. She knew what this meant. She was in danger.
"Do the Shepherds visit often?" Meredith stared around in the meadow. Trying to find a way out.
"Lie." Derek stared in her eyes. Forcing her to lie.
"Absolutely." Meredith lied "All the time. I actually water their plants."
"Lie better." Derek was almost yelling. And Meredith stared at the man in front of her. She could see in his eyes, that he was on to her. And so Meredith had to find something better to say.
"I'll tell them you stopped by." Meredith replied "Will they be able to reach you in Alaska?"
"I don't think so." Preston Burke stepped closer "Sidney's 'Vegetarian' family was pleasant enough. But the dietary restrictions were difficult. Living on nothing but animals."
Then all of the sudden, he's very close to her. Inches away from her. Like he's trying to smell her. And he is, she can feel his breath on her skin. There's nothing she can do. She wouldn't be fast enough. This was the last moment of her life. Did her dream warn her fro this moment? Meredith stared around. Was she not going to make it to her 110th birthday. Was she going to leave everyone beyond. 'I love you, Derek.' Were the last thing on her mind. Stared in fear.
"That's not why I left." Laurent smelled her hair. "I can back her as a favor to Erica."
"You're still friend?" Meredith's fear became worst. '
"More or less." Burke stared at her " she asked met to get the lay of the land with the Shepherds. Well, I'm afraid that Erica is quiet put out with you!"
"That's too bad.." Meredith reacted. Her voice sounded sad.
"Yes, she feels that's only fair to kill Derek's mate, given he killed hers. An eye for an eye." Burke walked around her. "A mate for a mate."
"Threaten him." Derek appeared out of nowhere. He was standing there.
"Derek will know who did it." Meredith lied "He'll come after both of you. And then you'll get the same faith as Carlin."
"I don't think he will." ¨Preston was now behind her. "After all, how much could you mean to him if he left you here unprotected. Victoria sent me here for information. She won't be happy about me killing you."
"No, Preston." Meredith closed her eyes.
"No, no." Derek turned to her. "Don't be upset. I'm doing you a kindness. Erica's plans on killing you slowly, painfully. Where I'll make it very quick. And you smell so mouth watering."
Meredith sees Derek, staring at her. She sees him. It's Meredith's only support when she's about to get killed. She feels Burke hanging closer to her. "Derek I love you." Her last words to him.
Then a wolve leaps to her from the shadows. For the dark shadows, there comes a seconds killer. She was caught between two killers. Who obviously didn't have eye for her. But only eyes for each other.
"Don't move." Derek whispered in her ears. From the shadows other wolves appeared. Flying towards Burke. Burke put up a fight. Walking in the woods. Meredith was left in that position. She slowly stood up. Staring around. She had to get out of here. Before any of them, would come back to claim her life. To continue killing her.
I've seen monsters. I don't know what you call this.
I don't know what is going down around here. Or any of it.
All I know is, that I've lost it. I've lost a lot of things.
And I lost Finn.
"Mer?" Vanessa stared at her, when she entered the living room. Her clothes where dirty. Dirt of the earth was on her clothes. "Meredith, what happened?"
"Burke happened." Meredith stared at her. "He's back. And Erica is coming to."
"What?" Vanessa stared at her. "I thought Burke was on our side? I mean, he helped up right."
"Well he's not with us." Meredith replied "He tried to kill me, and then there were life sized wolves. Following him. And you know Erica will come here. What are we doing when Erica comes here? I mean she's vampire."
"Who's a vampire?" Lexie sat next to them. "Why do you stop talking when I sit with you."
"Because we are talking about something, you shouldn't get involved in." Meredith replied "Something that you should know. And we are not going to tell."
"Wolves, vampires." Lexie stared at Vanessa. "What's going on? You can tell me, I'm your sister."
I can't tell her. It will change her.
To something like us. Scared of a world.
A world we're to deep in. Bringing nightmares.
I couldn't do that to Lexie.
"It was a wolf " Vanessa replied "Meredith saw a wolf. That was what we were talking about. That it's not bear attacks, but gigantic wolves."
"Seriously." Lexie turned them. "That's. Does dad know?"
"We were going to tell him." Meredith replied "And be careful, I don't want you to go in the woods. And when any you meet anyone named Erica Hahn. You run. Call and run."
"What's up with you guys?" Lexie stared at them. "You guys are always acting like someone is behind you. What's that all about? Do you know something that I don't.."
"No." Vanessa placed her hand on her belly. "We don't know anything."
2 Months had passes since The Shepherds had left. Vanessa was 6 months along in her pregnancy. And danger seemed to call from everywhere. Meredith hadn't heart anything about Finn. And she decided to see what took so long. So she decided to bring him a visit. She walked towards the house. A small house, and she knocked on the door.
"Where's Finn?" Meredith wanted to go in. But the man prevented it. "He's sick right?"
"He is out with his friends." The man reacted "I tell him you stopped by"
"His dad told me he was sick." Meredith stopped the door from closing. "What is it. Is he sick? Can I see him?"
"Meredith, you should go." the man replied "You should not come back."
Meredith didn't go anywhere. She walked away from the door, but she was not leaving the land. She sat down in her car, staring around. She stared at the threes. And she wanted to see Finn. She wanted to ask, what he was thinking. She wanted to see him. And hell she was going to see him. So she stayed in her car. She saw the rain that was pouring out the clouds. Meredith slowly stared outside. And then she saw Finn. Walking towards the house. Meredith walked out of the car. She stared at him. There he was, her dear friend. She wanted to know why.
"Finn!" Meredith yelled. "You cut your hair."
"Go away, Meredith." Finn stared at her.
"What happened to you?" Meredith steppe closer. Staring at him. His attitude. The way he looked shirtless. Why the hell was he not wearing a shirt. "I can help."
Finn turned away from her. Trying to escape Meredith. But Meredith wasn't going to let him. She wasn't going to let anyone walk out of her life again. She was going to get to the totem of this.
"Did Izzie get to you?" Meredith stared at him. "Did she? What did she do to you?"
"Izzie is trying to help." Finn turned to her. "Don't blame her."
"Then who?" Meredith walked to him. "Who should I blame?"
"What about the Shepherds?" Finn turned to her "Your bloodsucking family."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Meredith lied.
"You exactly know what I'm talking about." Finn was mad, she could hear it in his voice. And Meredith had no idea why. How could he know that the Shepherd were vampires. How did he find out?
"The Shepherds are gone." Meredith turned to him. "They can't be the one to blame."
"They started this, just by existing." Finn replied "And I would keep an eye on your sister. We'll get that vampire baby of hers. We won't hurt her. But we'll kill the baby."
"Finn, you stay away from my sister." Meredith replied. "She has nothing to do with this war."
"She entered it." Finn stared at her. "When she decided to keep that baby."
"Finn." Meredith saw Izzie, staring at him from the woods. Meredith wanted to do something. Hit her. But she didn't want to cause them any more trouble. She didn't believe that these people were a danger to Vanessa and her baby. She believed that Finn, wouldn't do anything in the end.
"We can't be friends." Finn replied
"I know I hurt you. I should have been more up-front but …" Meredith paused "I needed you, I still do. I don't know *what that means yet, but if you give me time ."
"Stop. Don't. It's not you.." Finn couldn't speak. Meredith was already stopping him.
"It's not you, it's me?" God." Meredith reacted "That's so typical. Why are you saying this? Is it like an excuse?"
"It's true. I'm not... good. "
"You're wrong …" Meredith turned to him. "Why do guys always tell me, that they're all wrong. I mean I could decide that for myself."
"It doesn't matter. This is over.." Finn replied "This friendship of ours is over."
"I can't take losing my best friend, too. .." Meredith turned to him. "I lost Derek, don't let me lose you to."
"You already have .." Meredith couldn't help but cry.
"Don't say that -you promised.." Meredith walked to him
"And this is me, keeping that promise." He walked away from her.
This is me, keeping that promise. That's what he said.
Why does everyone have to leave? Why do my friends keep betraying me?
How did he know that the Shepherds were vampires?
And would he be right about Vanessa's vampire baby?
Where they the treat my dreams warned me for?
Where they the killers?" Was my friend, my enemy?
