Chapter 5
"Once you have made a decision, kill the alternatives."
-Peter E. Schumacher
"Okay hands where I can see 'em!" My dad decided to barge in and ruin the mood.
"Sorry Sir…!" Derek pushed himself away.
"Derek please show him!" I begged one more time, fully awake now that Derek was apart from me.
Derek nodded went to the door and locked it. He closed the curtains and turned his back to us.
"Dad whatever happens. Do not be afraid. Don't aim a gun at him either."
"What?" My dad looked confused but his eyes widened when Derek turned around.
"Oh my god! What the hell?" My dad stutters. He was reaching for his gun but I stopped him.
"You look really creepy, you know that?" I told Derek, he just snarled.
"Change back please before my old man here has a heart attack."
"What was that?" my dad asked.
"That's what you call a werewolf, sir." Derek answered, human again.
"And no…I am not the one who killed all those people. What you're looking for is called an Alpha. Stronger, faster, older and meaner than me."
"No mountain lion?"
"No mountain lion, Sherriff." Derek was sitting again on my bed.
I saw Dads thinking it over in his head, but I was too tired to care.
"Do you mind if I sleep for a little bit?" I slurred. "You can play Q and A when you drive Derek home…oh and Derek… If you have the chance stop by Scott's..." I whispered. "I handcuffed to his radiator." Derek gave me a confused look but nodded, his hand skimming across mine before heading out the door after my dad.
Dad accepted the whole Werewolf thing quicker than I thought he would. He told me, that he and Derek met in the night and Derek answered all his questions. Now we had another help against the Alpha and the Argents.
My dad was furious and wanted to arrest them but Derek told him no. He was taking care of that problem when we killed the Alpha. I'm not sure if I'd like him to take care of them, sure they tried to kill me and I will ever be afraid of them, but they wanted to protect people. But, on the other hand, they killed innocent people before; like Derek's family.
"I can practically see the wheels turning in your head." I whipped my head and saw Derek standing in my hospital room, they had decided to keep me there for the next two days. "What are you thinking about?" he asked.
"The Argents." no need to lie about that.
"Ahhh..." Derek nodded and sat at the foot of my bed.
"Scott's alright?" I asked.
"Yeah he's coming by after school. He was pretty mad when I told him what happened, and I have to make sure doesn't go after the Argents on his own!"
"You and my Dad playing nice?"
Derek rolled his eyes at my question, but answered anyways.
"He is pretty easy going about the wolf thing, so yeah."
"Good." I smiled easily at him. Decision made…I wanted to tell Derek how I felt. Now or never! "Derek I-"
I was interrupt by the door being thrown open, and the tell tale sound of Lydia walking in, her heals clicking on the floor.
