6. Fear, Promises and Derek

I live in a constant fear.

It could happen any moment. She could attack us.

And Derek left me, he left me. Knowing this.

2 months have passed by.

And I haven't seen Derek.

I need to see Derek.

"Meredith were are you going?" A very pregnant Vanessa asks her, staring at her keys. "I mean Finn told me that you shouldn't go anywhere. And that you should stay here."

"I.." Meredith turned to her. "I need to go somewhere. Do something. And she hasn't attacked in the previous 2 months. So she mind not be coming back."

"Erica is waiting for the perfect moment." Vanessa replied "You going out without any protection, seems like the perfect moment. If you ask me."

"You just take care of yourself." Meredith kissed her head. "And see that my cousin stays healthy inside."

"Okay." Vanessa took her hand. Giving her another box of pepper spray. "You mind need it. And if you're not back at 5, I'm calling anyone with a phone."

"Do that" Meredith replied, walking away. Vanessa took her sell phone, searching for Finns number. 'Meredith went out. Look after her. Nes'

"I can't believe that Charlie's dead." Lexie stared at Vanessa "He got a heart attack last night. They say he saw something that scared the crap out of him."

"Well, Oh my God." Vanessa walked towards the door. "I think she's here, Owen she's here. Erica, and Meredith is out. I don't know where she went. You need to find her. NOW!"

In the end. I never stopped caring about Derek.

I never forgot him. And now in these dark days

I needed to see him. I didn't care how.

I needed to find danger.

And there was only

One way I knew how to:

Cliff diving

Meredith walked up to the highest cliff. She had been walking for a long time. And she knew that everything was going to be okay. If she just saw Derek for one more time. She wanted to keep herself strong for Vanessa, but the nightmares were still there. Keeping her from sleeping. She needed Derek to say anything to her. She needed him to say something. Actually she wanted him there. Right there with me. So she got on the cliff, waling towards the edge.

"Step back." Derek appears out of nowhere. His invisible. But Meredith is glad to see him. She stepped to the edge, seeing Derek follow her. "Don't do this., Meredith."

"You won't stay with me any other way." Meredith jumped.

If Danger is what I need,

Then danger is what I'll get.

Meredith fell down. The falling was creepy, and she didn't see Derek any way. Not anywhere near. Then the water hit her. It felt like a wall. A concrete wall breaking her fall. Meredith was flouting trough the water. She could see a figure with blond hair coming towards her. And then she felt pain. She hit her head. Then everything became peaceful. Derek was lying next to her. And they were together. Just like they were before. Derek would not leave her anymore. He was there. She was in paradise. There was nothing missing.

And right there, for the first moment.

I was happy.

As the happiness grow the darkness seemed to return. And then I could see Finns face hanging above me. I was on the beach. And he was staring at me.

"Meredith, can you hear me?" Meredith opened her eyes once more again.

"Finn?" Meredith sat up. Staring around. "What?"

"you almost drowned." Finn reacted "If we hadn't hear you scream. The, you would have been dead. What the hell where you thinking?"

"Bring her home." Owen replied "Her parents, Vanessa and Lexie are over with us. We can protect them. And you just bring her home. Get her in some new clothes. And join us. We'll find Erica. That vampire, or whatever."

On the way back home. Both Meredith and Finn were quite. They didn't know what to say to each other. Finn was a bit mad at her. He didn't like it, that Meredith almost died. And that he almost let her. He wasn't going to lose her. She was his love.

"Are you cold?" He finally spoke

"Yes." Meredith slowly sat closer to Finn. "You are warm."

"It's a werewolf thing." Finn replied smiling.

"No, it's a Finn thing." Meredith smiled at him. "You're just warm. Like the sun."

"Why did you jump anyway?." Finn stared at her.

"I don't know anymore." Meredith replied "Now it doesn't seem worth it anymore. I was stupid. And.."

The car stopped and Meredith turned to Finn. "Thanks for helping me, Finn. And my family. We owe you."

"I would do anything for you." Finn said hanging closer to her.

"There's blood suckers out there." Finn reacted "I think we better go home. To my home, where we can protect you."

"How do you even know?" Meredith stared at him.

"The smell." Finn took her hand. But Meredith walked closer. "We need to get you out of here."

When they got closer to Meredith's home. Meredith could notice a very familiar car parker in front of the house. It was the car of the Shepherds. Meredith wanted to jump out of the car. Walk inside and see if it were Derek. Or maybe even George, she would be happy to see George. She would be very happy to see George. Or even Addison or Callie. She would not be happy to find Miranda Bailey inside. But she couldn't think. It had to be.

"It's not Erica." Meredith replied "It's Carlisle car. I know that car."

"It could be a trap." Meredith stepped closer to her house.

"Meredith, damn it." Finn stepped toward her. "Don't you get it? If a Shepherds is back here, this is their territory. The Treaty says we can only defend our own lands. I won't be able to protect you."

"They won't hurt me." Meredith reacted "They won't."

"You're about to cross a line." Finn replied "Your choice. You can come back to me to La Push."

"Only if you draw one." Meredith walked over to the door. Opening it. She stared at Finn, who was still standing there. Not willing to move.

"Bye, Meredith." Finn turned away. "I hope you don't die."

Meredith walked in to her house. She could see where Vanessa left her book. She was reading some kind of book on vampire love. And was making some notes on it. Vanessa didn't really find it funny, when they were laughed with vampire babies. But she was very cranky since the pregnancy. She slowly walked towards the book, putting it away. Then a tall dark figure stepped out of the darkness.

"Callie." Meredith reacted by hugging her tight. And then Addison, also stepped outside the shadows. Meredith hugged the other girl to. Smiling at both of them. "I'm so…"

"you're alive?" Addison turned to Callie "You said she was dead. And that we need to come and check on her."

"No, I'm alive." Meredith hugged them again. "I'm so glad to see you. So glad."

"I heard voices." Callie turned to her. "I didn't think it was you, but you're alive."

"You keep saying that." Meredith stares at her.

"I saw a vision of you, jumping of a cliff. I knew I would be late.." Callie turned to her. "Why would you try to kill yourself? "

"I wasn't killing myself." Meredith replied "I was cliff diving"

"Why?" Addison stared at her.

"Fun?" Meredith smiled at her.

'"That was fun?" Callie lifted an eyebrow.

"Until I hit the water." Meredith smiled

"I have never met anyone more prone to life-threatening idiocy... and what is that hideous wet dog smell?" Addison replied staring around in the house.

"Oh, probably Finn, he's a werewolf." Meredith replied smiling. But Callie and Addison didn't smile, they stared at each other like they heard about something horrible. "Werewolves aren't vicious."

"Until they lose their temper." Addison replied "Then they go all woef!"

"They save me from Burke." Meredith replied "And now they're protecting me and Nessie and my family from Erica."

"I didn't see that." Callie stared at Addison. "I didn't see Erica, and I didn't see how you got pulled out of the water either. I don't understand, why didn't I see it?"

"Finn save me more then once." Meredith replied

"I don't know." Addison replied "Off day, there are not more surprises you've hid for us while we were gone?"

"There is." Meredith turned to Addison. "But first things first. Does he know that I'm here?"

"No." Addison replied "Derek doesn't. Neither does George. They've been rather busy. So what's the thing you kept from us? You are not dating that werewolf thing? I don't think Derek could ever get over that."

"First off all." Meredith stared at them. "He left me. And, well, I'm not dating him. It's Vanessa, she's pregnant."

"Pregnant?" Callie started laughing. "Meredith, I have to give it to you. You have a great sense of humor. Specially since I thought you were dead, about 7 seconds ago."

"She's not joking." Addison pointed to her serious face. "How the hell is that possible? George's baby? How? I don't get it, vampires can't get babies. I mean.."

"Yeah." Callie turned to Addison. "That's what Carlisle told us. And now. How far is she along?"

"8 months." Meredith replied "And she's very cranky. But I keep having this weird dreams, in which Nessa asks me to help her. And in the last one, she was dying. And you had to turn her. Does that mean anything?"

"I don't know." Callie turned to Addison. "Dreams are just that, most of the times. Dreams."

"sometimes they are not." Addison hang closer "Sometimes they're omens. To what's about to come. "

"Meredith?" Finn came in.

"Oh, hi." Meredith stared at her from the side line. Where Addison and Callie were sitting.

"I just wanted to check if you were okay." Finn stepped on. Staring at Finn who was standing there. He stared at her. Callie and Addison turned to Meredith. Opening their mouths. "We'll be right outside."

"When will you guys be back?." Meredith asked

"When you put the dog outside." Addison reacted "I think he's the reason why you can't see anything. Because you're allergic to dogs."

"How many Shepherds are here?" Finn stared at her. "And how long are they staying?"

"Only Addison and Callie." Meredith replied "And they can stay as long as they went to."

"Are the rest of them coming back?" Finn asked

"Not that I'm aware off." Meredith replied "Probably not."

"Better go rapport to Izzie." Meredith replied "That's it."

"Meredith" Finn yelled "I've done it again. I keep breaking my promise not to hurt you."

"It doesn't have to be this way." Meredith replied

"Yeah it does." Finn starts moving away. He turns around, touching her cheek. "It was easier, when we were both human. I mean, easier. For me. I knew I could keep my promise."

"What was easier?" Meredith stared at her. "Our friendship?"

"Yes." Finn nodded his head "When I didn' t know anything about your vampire boyfriend. I want to back to that."

Meredith sat down on the cough staring in front of her. She could hear the phone ring in the kitchen. And rushed towards it. Willing to pick it up. She was thinking it would be Vanessa, checking in on her.

"He's not here. He's at a funeral." Meredith hears him say.

"Who was that?" Meredith became mad "Who was that, Finn?"

"Who do you think it was?" Finn got closer to her. "Who do you think it was?"

"No." Meredith stepped next to him. "You should have let me talk to him. You should have.."

Callie ran in the room. Panicked. Addison was right behind her.

"What is it Callie?" Meredith stared at Callie "Addie?"

"Derek.." Callie replied

"What's it with him?" Meredith stared at both of them.

"I saw him in a vision." Callie replied "He thinks your dead. Now he's going to do the Housers. He wants to die to."

Meredith walked out of the door. Racing to the car that Addison and Callie had brought. Addison stood outside the car. She stared at the both of them. "I'm staying here. I'm helping to protect Vanessa."

"We're on that." Finn replied "We don't need your help."

Meredith got in the car. She stared at Finn who was staring at her, from the car window. He didn't want her to go. She could read it in his eyes. He wanted her to stay.

"Why do you have to go, Mer?" He stared at her.

"He won't believe Callie, if she says I'm alive." Meredith stared at Finn "he needs to see me alive."

"He left you here, Meredith." Finn stared at her. "He didn't want you anymore."

"I still love him." Meredith replied "I'm not going to let him kill himself out of guilt!"

"What about your dad?" Finn stared at her. "Your sister, you can't leave them like this."

"I'm 18." Meredith replied "I can go where I want. And I left a note."

"You Shepherds mind not haunt people, but in Italy they do." Finn stared at Callie

"I know how the Housers are." Callie replied

"Then why are you taking her to the Housers, like a bottle of wine." Finn stared at her.

"Well, cause she's better of here." Callie replied "With Erica Hahn stalking her. The one that you dogs, can't seem to catch. So good luck finding her."

"Stay here for me." Finn stared at her one last time. "I'm asking you to pick me, chose me, love me."

"I have to go." Meredith replied "Finn, please, protect her. Protect Vanessa. Let Addison help you. She's telekinesis. It could help. Please."

"I'll protect your sister with my life." Finn replies "I'll make sure she' okay."

And there I made a choice.

I went to safe the love of my life.

But I hurt my best friend.

"Maybe Finn's right" Callie stared at her. "No. You need to realize - the Housers could easily see me as Derek's accomplice. And you're a human who knows too much and tastes too good. They could kill us all."

Sometimes you it takes more to keep someone safe.
It takes to work together with a person you hate.

"So, wolf guy?" Addison stepped next to him. "Is there anything that I can do?"

"What about, getting the hell out of here?" Finn stared at her. "It's bad enough that Meredith the love of my life went to Europe saving her vampire boyfriend. Now you want to help protect Vanessa? No, you are not helping me doing that."

"Oh, Just, be normal." Addison turned to him. "I have an active power, I could kick that Erica Hahn's ass. And you know it. You are just a wolf. I'm the queen of all vampires."

"You are not." Finn stared at her. "You can't go to the beach anyway."

"I need to see her." Addison replied "I.."

"Just, see if you find her." Finn walked a bit farther "And if you find her, you kill her."

"Find her." Addison placed her hands on her hips "Kill them. Get it."

Addison stares around, slowly taking her phone out. She places it against her ear. Slowly turning his number. "George, you need to come back to Seattle right now. It's to protect your girlfriend and love child. I mean, I know you are looking for that thing. But you need to come back. I mean Derek is out there, doing god knows what. A pack of wolves are protecting them. And I'm sure that Finn was kind of checking me out in a weird way. So come here right now. "

Addison put down the phone. Staring at what was around them. "God damn it. Vampires aren't suppose to get vampire babies. Now we get why it is not suppose to happen!"

Addison took the phone in her hands again. Calling Carlisle number. Addison knew that he would pick up the phone. And this was an emergency.
"Carlisle, I need the whole family. Something is come up."
"What do you mean?" She could hear Carlisle voice, and she could even hear Carolyn's voice yelling at the background.

"Well, Vanessa, she's pregnant." Carlisle started talking about the fact that wasn't possible. But Addison stopped him. "Here is the point. Erica Hahn is in town. And we need more vampires here. We need to protect her. Now I'm here, but I need help."
"We'll get there as soon as possible." Carlisle replied "And Addie, take care of her."
"She's not with me." Addison reacted "She's with those Outcast people, the werewolf types. Apperantly they changed, they are protecting a vampire baby and Vanessa. I think this Finn boy is in love with explains it all."

"Addi." Carlisle replied "We're coming there."

"Finn, where's Meredith going?" Vanessa stood behind him. "I have this crazy idea that she's going to Italy, to some crazy vampires, saving Derek. Oh, yeah, that's right. You just told me that she is doing that. Tell me that you tried to stop her."

"I did." Finn stared at her. "But she didn't want to listen. Something about Finn going to the Housers."

"Oh, those vampires." Vanessa hit him. "What the hell are you still doing here? You could have gone with her. Like big wolf saving the vampire. But you stayed here. Doing what?"

"Protecting you." Finn stared at her. "That's the last thing that Meredith asked me. To protect you."

"Oh, yeah, cause these other 4 wolves, could not do that." Vanessa replied "While Meredith is with Derek, with the most dangerous vampires. And you didn't go. You love her."

"But she doesn't love me." Finn replied "She's still thinking about this Derek all the time. She's in love with him."

"She is." Vanessa replied "He saw her when she had pink hair."

"I saw her when she had pink hair." Finn replied "I .."

"You never made a move on her." Vanessa replied "Just I'm really sorry Finn, you are a good guy. And Meredith disserves a good guy. But Derek, he's a good guy to. So is George."

"Vampire." Finn replied "And he left you, George left you with child. Derek left Meredith. Are you thinking they'll give the perfect reason why they left."

"Finn, you don't get it." Vanessa stared at him. "Sometimes we do stupid stuff. I think he'll come back. George and Derek. They'll both come back."

"Does Meredith want to be a.." Finn stared at her. "I mean if he would ask, would she consider.."

"Becoming a vampire?" Vanessa stared at him. "No, she said that she wanted a lifetime. Not forever. Me on the other hand, I wouldn't mind having forever. But being a vampire, nope."

"Oh, hello." Izzie walked passed them. "So are you okay?"

"You don't have to pretend to care." Vanessa stared at her. "I'm worried to dead about my sister who went to save her vampire boyfriend. You mind kill them, but some things are not black and white. In the end you could find out that you actually fight the same thing. Bad vampires."

"We do." Izzie replied

In the end

2 groups, could have more in comment then you think.

2 different groups could fight at the same side.

Protect the same thing. The love.
