Shout out to Stargazer1364 for reviewing! Thanks! I'm trying something a little different, hope you continue to like it :)
Ashlee's p.o.v
I sit in the jeep, picking the glass out of my back, swearing everytime I do.
"Finally" I sigh, leaning back.
"All out?" Stiles asks, driving us towards the school.
"Yeah, hurts like a bitch" I say.
"Healing?"
"Yeah"
"You okay?" Stiles asks.
"I'm fine..what's with all the questions?"
"I saw the look on your face when we had to leave Derek..he's strong, he can look after himself" Stiles assures me. I just nod, the rest of the car ride is silent.
..
We come into the boys' lockerroom to find Scott laying on the floor in a towel.
"Scott?" I ask, kneeling in shower water to be by his side. I've got blood all over me..this is nothing. "Scott, what happened to you?" I ask as he opens his eyes.
"D-Derek and..Peter" he says weakly.
"They did this to you?" I ask angerily.
"It's Peter..he's manipulating Derek" Scott says, pulling himself up.
"What did they do?" Stiles asks.
"Peter stabbed his claws into my neck..I saw the fire, I saw him in hospital, I saw him killing people..the ones that helped burn the house down. But only who helped, I don't know who it really was"
"Derek's siding with Peter" Stiles says, looking at us both. "He said he was going to help you guys, not team up againist you" Stiles says angerily.
"Peter's all he's got..it's not his fault" Scott says, suprising me a litte by sticking up for him.
"No, Peter's not all he's got. He's got us" I say, earning me a smile from Scott but another weird look from Stiles.
..
We get home and go to our own rooms. I hear Allison come in the front door with Mum, go into Scott's room. I don't listen in, I don't want too. I sit on my bed, staring into space. My phone ringing snaps me out of my thoughts.
"Hello?" I answer.
"A-Ash" comes Stiles' voice.
"Stiles? Are you okay?" I ask in concern.
"I'm okay..I just need someone to talk to" I can hear the tears in his voice.
"I'll be right over" I say.
"Thank you" he croaks before hanging up. I put my phone in my pocket and leave the room. I stop when I see a very nicely dressed Mum at Scott's door. I look in and Allison's still here..probably why Stiles called me. Scott's been getting his priorites mixed up alot lately.
"Mum, you look amazing" I say and she turns around with a smile. "Wait..why do you look amazing?" I ask. She looks between us all.
"Because amazingly I am having dinner for once with a member of the male gender who's over the age of 16"
"Who?" Scott asks.
"A medical rep..we talked and next thing I know, i'm saying yes to dinner" she says. The doorbell rings. "I'm not ready..someone stall him!" Mum says, racing back into her room.
"I got it" I say, walking down the stairs. I open the door with a welcoming smile only to come face to face with none other than Peter freaking Hale. I try to slam the door in his face but he stops it, pushing it open and walking in. I threaten to tell Mum about him but he cuts me off, saying after being in a coma for 6 years, he wants to have dinner with a beautiful woman. "If you hurt her, if you even touch her-"
"Hi" Mum says, coming down the stairs, Scott behind her after hearing our conversation. His eyes widen at Peter.
"Are we ready to go?" Peter asks her sweetly. My lips tighten in anger.
"Just a second" she says, running into the kitchen. Peter steps inside, Scott coming up beside me.
"You need to understand how much stronger we are together. Me, you, Derek and Scott" Peter says.
"We will never join you" I snap. Mum comes back in.
"Oh! These are my kids, this is Scott and this is Ashlee" Mum introduces.
"Peter Hale" he smiles. He looks at me. "I see where you get your beautiful looks from" I hear the growl building in Scott's throat.
"Let's go" Mum says. Peter holds out his hand and Mum blushes, taking it.
"Wait!" Scott yells. They both turn back to him. "H-have fun" he says.
"I will" Mum smiles before leaving with Peter. I turn to Scott.
"Follow them, I need to go see Stiles, he's upset and he needs someone to talk too" I say.
"I'll go see Stiles-"
"No, Scott, you have far more control over this than I do. You can protect her..I can't. Please" I plead. "Please Scott, make sure he doesn't hurt her" there's tears prickling my eyes. Scott nods and hugs me.
"Okay, make sure Stiles is okay"
"Call me if ANYTHING happens, alright?" I say, pulling back.
"Of course" I take off in a spirint towards Stiles'. I know it's awkward because he has to ditch Allison but our family needs us and they come first.
..
I climb up Stiles' wall and in though the window, I can smell the alcohol from downstairs and hear John's snores. I come in through the window and his head snaps up to me. I rush to his side when I see the few tears down his face. I hug him.
"What happened?" I ask him.
"He just..he told me how much he misses Mum and I-I just..I.." Stiles tries.
"It's okay, I understand" I say, bringing his head into my neck for him to cry on like I used to when she first passed. We sit like that for awhile, hugging, I let him cry as much as he wants, never judging, only speaking when necessary. I let some tears fall as well, I miss her too. So much.
..
Stiles and I come running into the animal clinic. I run and jump into Scott's arms. I check him over.
"What happened?" I ask.
"The hunters..they attacked Derek, Jackson and I at Derek's. I'm okay, Jackson's fine but they took Derek" I feel my body tense up in anger..they took Derek. Our heads snap towards a familiar smell in the clinic, Peter.
"I'll handle this" Deaton says. He manages to get Peter to leave. We end up going home so Scott can find his phone so he can call Derek.
"You said he was taken" I remind Scott. How is this going to help?
"I don't know what else to do! I have to protect everyone!" Scott yells.
"Scott, we'll help you. We'll find Derek, we're not going to let him die" I say, placing a hand on his arm softly.
"Why can't we let him die?" Stiles asks. I growl a little at him, half-heartedly of course. "You know, i'm really starting to wonder why you're so protective of Derek" Stiles teases, i'm happy he's not upset anymore but I still don't want him to tease me about my maybe crush I might or might not have on Derek.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Scott asks, looking at me.
"He's pack, I don't want him getting hurt" I shrug, trying to play it cool.
"I know, neither do I" Scott sighs. I sigh in relief. I don't like Derek, I just..he's just..argh. It doesn't matter.
"Besides..we need to go shopping for suits" Stiles says.
"For the dance?" I ask them. They nod but Scott doesn't seem too keen. "Scott..go. I'll try and find Derek myself. Who knows? Maybe he got away, maybe he's fine, he's gotten out of worse" I try to assure Scott. I'm worried for Derek but Scott needs to live his own life too, he needs to do well in school, be a teenager. Luckily, I don't, I can go looking for him. Unluckily for Derek, i'm the one looking for him.
