Alright so I'm sorry for the long wait but here's the chapter and as I always I hope you guys enjoy.
disclaimer: I don't own teen wolf.
They arrived at the party rather late because she insisted on stoping by Scott's house to see if they could stop him before they arrived at the party. Instead she spent a good thirty minutes talking to Melissa McCall about her outfit, and her first week of school.
Then she wanted to see if they could try Stiles' house, to which Derek strongly opposed, cause her to open the car door and throw herself on to the road, she sat in the middle of the lane unscathed.
"You're gonna get yourself killed." Derek said as he sat in the car, which he parked on the shoulder. "Then let me." She said stubbornly crossing her arms.
"You're acting like a child." He told her, he didn't want to waste time looking at another persons house, he wanted to find Scott and get him the hell away from human civilization, at least that's what he told himself.
"No, I'm trying to see if we can keep Stiles out of trouble, I'm trying to make sure my friends are safe." She shot back stressing the last word. Derek sighed, he knew she was just doing this to protect the people she cared about. "Fine, we'll go check on Stiles." Derek gave in starting the car back in, she grinned to herself and got back in her car.
"Hey pops, is Stiles home?" Anna asked as she walked into the house she knew so well, she didn't knock, she knew how to pick a lock.
"No, he just left to the party. You might wanna try there." The sheriff called from the kitchen, he was fully aware she'd broken in, she did it so often he was no longer surprised.
"Alright, thanks pops." She said starting to walk out. "Anna, wait." He called out walking towards her, still dressed in uniform. "Here, I know it's not much but I want you to be able to protect yourself when the time comes. If anyone ever hurts you, just know that I'll track the bastard down." Stilinski said handing Anna a bottle of pepper spray, he'd known her since she was a child and he took on a fatherly role with her, he only wanted her safety.
"Thanks pops." She placed a kiss on his cheek. "Don't worry about me though, dad's got a shotgun under his bed." She said winking, he smiled and closed the door behind her.
"Just missed him." Anna informed a slightly annoyed Derek, who instead of replying shifted gears and drove.
"Look, I know you think this is stupid chasing everyone down, but I need to check up on the 'what if's'. Like what if Stiles was still home? We could have stopped him from going to the party, he would of been safe from Scott, who, by the way, is another 'what if' as in what if Scott loses it and tries to kill everyone at the party? I know you don't get it, but I'm only trying to protect as many people as I can, I'm only trying to keep my friends safe." She said, she didn't know why she felt the need to explain herself to him, normally she'd just do whatever she wanted but she felt like she needed him to understand her methods, her morals, she needed him to understand her, even when she didn't understand herself.
"I get it alright, I just think it's pointless, we go in, we get Scott that's it, that's all that matters. If anyone finds out about Scott it leads them to me, and I'm not dying for some kid." He said. "Liar. Why do you do that? You act like you only care about yourself." She said.
"Because that's the only person I care about, if the hunters find Scott they have reason to come after me." He said angrily. "If you really cared about yourself you would've left me alone, left me to fend for myself, but you didn't, you took me in, those aren't the actions of a selfish man." Anna said putting her hand gently over his. "It's okay to let people in, they could help you." She said as he put the car in park. "We're here." He said exiting the car. She sighed and followed him out.
She mingled with the people from school, somewhere along the lines Derek had chosen to stand outside in a dark corner of the house searching for Scott. "So you think that since all of sudden you're part of the swim team you can come here?" Anna turned around to see Jackson.
"No, I figured since my best friend got first line I could come here." She shot back knowing how to hit him where it hurt. "What is McCall on anyways? I'm sure as his 'best friend' you know, what if you're the one supplying him with his juice." He said cornering her.
"Listen buddy, just because you're taking something it doesn't mean that everyone's on steroids, maybe it's just god given talent." She said placing a hand on his chest pushing him out of her personal space. "I will find out what you're giving him, I swear what's going on with you two, because underneath this sudden 'talent' you're still the freak I used to push around in middle school." He said harshly. "Yeah, and I'm still the girl you came crying to when they said that you were adopted." She spat and pushed him back moving to where Derek was.
"Have you seen him?" She asked he shook his head. "Alright then, I'll go back inside and-" she let out a small whimper, Derek caught her before she could fall. "It's the transformation, you're not strong enough, you should head home." He said as she regained some of her balance.
"To a family of hunters, right, that'll go over real well." She said, even with everything she was going through she still found the energy to be sarcastic. "I meant my house." Derek said realizing that he'd called it her home too. "But Scott-" he cut her off. "I'll look after him, you go, trust me." He said, their eyes meeting, she nodded weakly and took off in a run.
She arrived at Derek house and glared up at the moon before she let out a roar and looked down to see her claws out.
'Focus.' She told herself thinking back to the times she spent with her sister, she saw them clearly in her mind, as if they were happening all over again. She took several deep breaths and opened her eyes slowly, she saw her reflection in the shattered glass; she was still a wolf, but she knew she was in control.
Derek watched as Scott drove off and saw Allison, he knew she was friends with Annabelle, it was very likely that the daughters of two well known hunting families knew each other. "Allison, I'm Derek, I'm Annabelle and Scott's friend." He said walking up to the young girl. "I told Anna I was leaving, I saw you two talking earlier, I figured I'd give you a ride, and seeing how Scott left, you kind of need one." Derek said, he came off as charming and friendly, and Allison fell right into it. "Yeah sure, thanks." She said smiling, he nodded and led them to Annabelle's car.
Things were much different with Allison than they were with Anna, conversation was much more difficult and they only talked about Anna. "I was talking to her earlier, are you her date or something?" Allison asked. "Yeah, she dragged me along to this party." He said, let Allison think what she wants from that statement. "So, how long have you two been together?" She asked. "About a week, we've just met." He said she smiled. "Well, Anna's a great girl, trust me, you're lucky to have her." Allison said as Derek heard a distant roar, Anna's roar. "Thanks, I know I'm lucky." He said honestly, Derek liked the girl, he planed on keeping her around for now.
"Oh, up ahead on the right." Allison said and Derek pulled up to the house. "Thanks for the ride." Allison said as she closed the door to the car. Derek smiled and drove off, happy to be rid of the girl, Anna's cry sounded more painful rather than angry, all he knew was that he needed to get to her.
He put up Allison's blazer on a tree branch and left the car parked outside the preserve, Scott wouldn't be thinking about who's car it was but who's scent it was, and Derek's scent was all over the car now.
He'd planed on going to check on Anna but he heard Scott's hands and feet pounding the ground carrying him closer to Derek. "Where is she!" Scott screamed looking around for Derek. "She's safe. From you." Derek said as lunged at the boy sending them both down the hill.
"What did you do to her?" Scott asked as Derek pulled him against the tree. "Shh." Derek said hearing something only he could. "Too late, they're here. Run." Derek ordered the boy and took off.
He was running when he bumped into someone. "Anna?" He asked noticing the bright blue eyes. "Derek?" She asked as he pulled her up. A sudden scream of pain drew their attention to where Derek had just come from. "Scott." Anna said, Derek led her around back. "We're gonna get the hunters out of the way, we'll leave your dad and mom unharmed." He said he wanted to spare her feelings and right now that meant not hurting two hunters, he figured he'd let it slide this once. She nodded and they attacked them, throwing them back a couple of feet. As they got most of them out of the way, Anna broke the arrow stuck in Scott's arm and all three ran.
"Who were they?" Scott asked transforming back. "Hunters. The ones that have been hunting our kind for centuries." Derek said. "You mean you're kind, you turned me into this." Scott said angrily, as Anna rushed to his side checking the wound, Scott placed his hand over it. "And you, why didn't you tell me!" He screamed. "I had Stiles tell you everything, but no, Scott knows everything, Mr. Know-it-all doesn't believe in werewolves." She said mockingly, then she slapped him upside the head. "What was that for?" He asked rubbing the side of his head. "For being an idiot." She shot back.
"The bite is a gift Scott, one most people would kill for." Derek told him. "Seriously? You're seriously giving him that line when he has an arrow wound?" Annabelle said raising her eyebrows at the older wolf. "The point is, you're gonna need me if you want to learn to control it, which means that you and me, Scott, we're brothers." Derek said and walked back towards his house. "If you want control, you know where to find me." Annabelle said kissing the top of Scott's head and walking after Derek.
"You said we'd keep him out of this." She said through gritted teeth. "I offered him control, I didn't rope him into killing the alpha, I left that part out." Derek said slowing down to walk at her pace. "Fine. But if I even hear you think the word alpha around him, I'll feed you to the hunters." She said stomping ahead. They slept in the same bed again, she didn't mind it, and he liked having someone that close.
She woke up at around five in the morning and snuck out of the house, heels in hand. She was trying to catch up to Scott when the powder blue jeep pulled up beside her. She got in and looked at Stiles, he still had the scratches across his face from where she'd clawed him for what he said about her sister. "I'm sorry." She said tracing over the marks lightly. "It's my fault, it was wrong for me to say that." He said looking over at her. "It still doesn't condone what I did. I hurt you Stiles, I lost control, and that's not a luxury I have anymore, I can't lose control around you guys especially, I could kill you." She said, tears in her eyes.
"Belle, I'm standing by you, I'm your best friend, you're not losing me that easily." He said as he pulled up to Scoot who was also walking along the road.
"So they're leaving free werewolves on the side of the road now huh?" Stiles said trying to ease the tension in the car. "You know what bothers me the most?" Scott asked leaning his head on the window.
"If you say Allison I'm going to punch you in the head." Stiles said irritated. "She doesn't hate you, but you might want to think about a pretty amazing apology." Stiles said. "Or you could tell her the truth and revel in the awesomeness of the fact that you're a freaking werewolf." He continued, Scott looked at him and Stiles shrugged. "Okay bad idea." He agreed.
"No, that excuse is sure to get you a second date, 'hey Allison, sorry I had to bail, my lycanthropy was acting up.' All we have to do is pray that she doesn't google the word lycanthropy." Annabelle said grinning slightly. Scott seamed unamused. "Hey, come on, we'll get through this, if I have to I'll even chain you guys up and feed you live mice." Stiles said looking over at Anna. "I could do it, I had a boa once." He said. "That was my boa, and you'd faint every time you saw me pull a mouse up to feed him." Anna said laughing at the memories.
"Yeah, well I've had time to adjust to your freaky mutant wolf thing, I could do it." He said Anna and Scott looked to each other.
"All of us, we're in this together." She said taking both of their hands. "We've survived this long, who knows, maybe we are gonna fail completely, but as long as you guys are still with me I don't care." Anna said. "Wow, Belle, I had no idea you were this cheesy." Stiles said she laughed and pushed him slightly seeing Scott laugh beside her, yeah, they were gonna get through this.
so there finally an end to the first episode, wow if this is how long every episode is gonna be we're gonna be stuck together for the next year or so! Anyways tell me what you guys think about the story so far, and what you think about her and Derek.
