-SCOTT'S P.O.V.-
"It's like looking after a cub!" I said to Stiles as he drove to Derek's hideout.
"Well, it actually sorta is. She's a new werewolf, a werewolf cub... A fifteen year old werewolf cub..." He turned the corner.
I gave him a look, "I guess you're right, but it's not like I /want/ to take care of her!" I said loudly and Stiles glanced at me before abruptly pulling over to the side of the road. He turned his key, which was still in the ignition, the opposite way to start it and gave me a hard look.
"What's up with you!? You're such an ass all of the sudden! And-and I really don't appreciate you saying that shit about her because I really like her!" He exclaimed.
I laughed, "one, she's got a boyfriend. And not just any boyfriend, an alpha werewolf boyfriend. With alphas, what's there's is there's. She's his and he'll kill ANYONE who stands in the way. Two, I don't like her and you can't change that. And three... What happened to Lydia?!"
Stiles looked down, "I'm just coming to my senses about Lydia, I'm never going to have her... so why bother to keep fighting? And Lydia had a boyfriend too but that didn't stop me... I guess Jackson's a little less dangerous but whatever."
"But Destiny has a long-term boyfriend too! You're just stepping into the same thing.. Except Destiny sorta has a crush on you but she's dating Derek so that won't make a difference. No matter what I say about her, she isn't a cheater. And what I say shouldn't effect you either!" I exclaimed.
"Whatever, lets just find her." He rolled his eyes and started his car, driving in the direction of their hideout.
We got there and it was empty, there was a note on the floor that read, "Dear Scott,
Duty calls, sorry I couldn't come home... Everything comes with a price, you of all people should know that. Anyways, sorry if this gets you in trouble, I'll be back tomorrow. Seeya at school.
~Destiny.
P.S. don't worry, Stiles. I'm fine."
She signed her name in cursive with the I dotted with a heart.
Stiles chuckled, "she knows me too well."
I turned around to look at him, "yeah well don't get too flattered because when we find them she's gunna be pissed."
-DESTINY'S P.O.V.-
"Trigger your anger!" Derek screamed at me. We were training in the forest near that house, Isaac, Peter, Boid and that other bitch (Erika) were watching at the side.
"Anything can trigger my anger!" I exclaimed.
"Well I know that," Derek sneered and everyone else snickered, he hushed them with a wave of his hand and continued, "I need to get you angry! It's all about control!" I just stood there with my arms crossed, looking unamused and tapping my foot. Derek ran up and dragged his nails across my face, making a huge gash. I screeched and fell to the ground, holding my wound as the blood flowed out on to my hand.
Raising my head slowly, I met gazes with a straight-faced Derek,
"Good. You're changed, now-"
-DEREK'S P.O.V.-
Before I could finish Destiny leaped straight at me. I grabbed her by the neck and held her in the air just in front of me as she still clawed forward, trying to scratch me.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" I yelled and threw her to the ground, she glared at me and jumped up, I pointed to my right and said to Erika, "get ready."
Destiny followed my finger, eventually attacking Erika.
"Nice cat fight," Boid laughed.
"More like bitch fight!" Peter exclaimed.
I snapped my head to the right, "shut the fuck up, Peter. You too Boid!" I screamed. Peter laughed it off but Boid looked down, I focused on Destiny again. "Now Destiny! Find your anchor!" I yelled at her.
A few seconds later she shoved Erika away, when Erika came back at her Destiny stood up and punched Erika. She flew back and held her nose while Destiny's breathing slowed as she looked at me, changing back to normal as a crooked smile slowly formed on her face.
"She also threatened and beat Stiles a few times..." Isaac added at the side, I growled at him and he smirked a bit, stepping back.
Destiny snapped her gaze back towards Erika and jumped down, smashing her knee into Erika's face then getting back up with a smile. "That was for Stiles," Destiny began and then kicked Erika in the ribs, "and that was for everyone else," she continued and then stomped on Erika's face. "And that-that one was for me, bitch." Destiny snarled, skipped up to me and wrapped her arms around my neck. I placed my hands lightly on her hips, lifting her up a bit and our lips met. "You're my anchor, you make me happy." She whispered against my lips.
She slowly pulled back and I let her down carefully so she landed on her feet. I glanced at everyone before saying, "Isaac, go." I commanded and he ran up on all fours up to Destiny, she dropped down and they circled each other for a few seconds before eventually attacking at the same time.
After everything Destiny came out with a bleeding nose and Isaac limped away from her. Everyone chuckled at Isaac until I saw the blood from Destiny's nose, it was black. "DESTINY!" I screamed and she looked up with confusion in her eyes.
"What? You want to damage me further?!" She yelled and tears started welling up in her eyes.
I was holding her in a flash, "no," I said softly in her ear and wiped a dot of black blood from her upper-lip with my finger, showing it to her. "I don't understand..." I mumbled and backed up, turning to Peter. "WHAT IS THIS?!"
He looked down, "her body... It's rejecting the change. But it's late. I'm sorry," Peter stepped forward.
"NO!" I shoved him away and sprung backwards, clutching Destiny in my arms tightly.
"Derek... What is he talking about?" She whispered weakly to me.
"Nothing... It's okay."
"Derek." She said firmly, "tell. Me... Now."
I sighed, "your body... It's fighting the change."
"What? But I'm already-"
"Yeah, I know. Peter said its some sort of late thing," I let in a deep, shaky breath. My knees gave in and I fell with Destiny still in my arms, I was basically holding her up before so now wasn't any different except I was sitting on my ass and she was laying across my lap.
"So hopefully you're going to die, you little bitch." Erika sneered. I cocked my head towards her and made my eyes red, showing my K9's, causing Erika to screech and run into Isaac's arms.
"/Am/ I going to die?" Destiny asked softly and stared up at me.
Tears stung my eyes, "no..." I lied and heard everyone slowly walk away.
She smiled, "your pulse just jumped, Derek."
"I promise we're going to fix this," I started to sob, "I promise..."
Still smiling, Destiny put her hand on my cheek. "Don't make promises you can't keep," she whispered.
"DESTINY? DESTINY!" We both heard and turned to see Scott and Stiles running towards us. Stiles dropped to the ground on the other side of Destiny, holding her hand and Scott just stood there with his mouth hanging open.
"How long do I have?" She asked me.
"A few days, tops." I sighed and looked at her polished black fingernails and how her fingers entwined with mine.
"Do something, Derek!" Stiles screamed at me and stared at her.
"Don't you think if I could save her I would've done it already!?" I yelled back at him.
"How about you trick her like you tricked me, humph?" Scott started accusingly, "how you said if we killed Peter I would be cured?! But really it just made YOU alpha!"
Destiny laughed quietly, "he told me I wasn't going to die... But I know I am... And I feel really, really tired." She started drifting off and her eyes were slowly closing.
"No!" I objected and tilted her head up, "you can't. Please, hold on. Just for a few days... /please/. We need to figure this out, I need to save you."
"Don't worry, you'll meet some pretty girl, much hotter than me, and you'll forget all about us. And that's okay, Derek." She smiled.
"No, no one's more beautiful than you. You're perfect in every way and I can't lose you!" I screamed.
"Wait hold on," Scott interrupted our little moment, "I remember my mom saying something just before we picked up Destiny for the first time. She said something about Destiny getting nose bleeds every so often, that she has some sort of condition that clears bad blood through the nose like a filter for her body... And it also apparently makes her weak and tired too." Scott said and I think Stiles and I both got a shot of hope.
"Stiles, can you get into your dad's files?" I asked, taking charge of the situation.
He hesitated, "it can be done."
"And what about you, Scott? Can you see if Destiny has any medical records?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Then both of you, get to it!" I commanded and they scurried off while I tried to keep Destiny awake.
-STILES' P.O.V.-
"Keys, keys, keys..." I mumbled to myself repeatedly and when I found my dad's keys I did the same thing except with the word 'files'. "Files, files, files..." I continued until I found a file that was labeled "-, AMANDA, DESTINY" meaning she had no last name. Wait hold up, her middle name is Amanda?! I wouldn't even- no. Don't get distracted, Stiles. I NEED to find something, ANYTHING!
And there it was, that little 'Medical Conditions' box that had my dad's messy handwriting in it, "frequent nose bleeds. Side effects; drowsiness, congestion, fatigue, swelling, coughing."
"Yeesh." I said to myself and quickly made a copy, putting the file back and folding the warm freshly-printed paper and putting it into my hoodie pocket. I got out of there as fast as possible and went to Scott's mom's work, where Scott had been looking for a cure.
I found him and sprinted to where he was, only to find him talking to his mother in which I took as a surprise, flipping around and propping my elbows on the front desk. I awkwardly smiled and waved sharply as both Scott and his mom stared at me with odd looks.
Scott sighed and focused back on his mother, "is there a cure!?"
"I don't know, Scott! Why all the questions?!" She exclaimed.
"Uh, it's, uh, a, uh, project for, uh, school! Yeah, a project for school..." He croaked.
I rolled my eyes as Ms. McCall did the same, "there's a special antibiotic, I don't exactly know how to pronounce the name but here's how you spell it," she wrote a long word on a scrap piece of paper and handed it to Scott, " it's sold at the drug store just down the road... Are you sure it's for a project?" She questioned.
Scott grabbed the paper and we smiled at each other, walking out as Scott called back, "yup! Thanks mom!"
-DESTINY'S P.O.V.-
I kept trying to let Derek know that this happens a lot but he wouldn't listen for a second and I really didn't have the energy to talk over him right now. I didn't realize until Scott mentioned it, I actually thought I was going to die! "Derek-" I started softly but he cut me off,
"No Destiny, it's going to be okay... Everything's going to be fine... Don't start saying your goodbyes."
"But Derek-"
"DESTINY!" He shook my shoulders a bit, "stop it! You're alright... Stop." He commanded. I shook my head a bit, trying to tell him that that wasn't it but he ignored me.
"We got it! We got it!" Stiles and Scott ran up an I was relieved to see Scott had a little prescription bottle of pills in his hand.
"See, I told you everything was going to be fine!" Derek exclaimed and moved in to kiss me, I put my hand on his chest to stop him and said strongly,
"No, Derek. I was trying to tell you that it's happened before but you just wouldn't listen to me! You think you're King Shit of Fuck-off Island, but you're really not! And it pisses me off when you act like you're better than everyone!"
He looked surprised that someone actually said that to him, he shifted towards me, ready to punish, but he stopped and looked down, I knew he wouldn't hurt me so I wasn't afraid to say it. Well, I wasn't afraid in the first place but whatever.
Derek huffed and walked away while I stood there smirking in pride and achievement. I heard a one-person-applause behind me so I turned around to see Peter walking up, "congratulations, but now he's pissed. Good luck," he smiled and walked off to wherever he goes in this abandon train tunnel.
I let out a heavy sigh, he was right, but Derek'll get over it, I should probably just leave him for now. I have to get to school anyways or Scott is gunna kill me!
I spotted Stiles in the hallway and walked towards him, he glanced at me then picked up his speed in the other direction until I was basically running after him, "hey Stiles! Stiles! STILES!" I called and when I finally got close enough to him I grabbed his arm, he pulled away so I stuck my claws out. He squealed and turned around, shaking my hand off.
"Destiny! Go away! I don't want to talk to you!" He yelled in the middle of all the people, causing them to turn and stare.
"Why!? What did I ever do to you?!" I screamed.
He looked around at everybody and rolled his eyes, grabbing my elbow and pulling me into the boy's locker room, he shoved me against the wall and opened his mouth to scream at me but nothing came out. He took a quick step back, then another forward and raised an open hand, pressing his fingers against his head then making a fist and lowering it to his side. After a few seconds of shifting around in front of me he moved in like he was going to hit me, I flinched but the blow never came.
I opened my tear-filled eyes to see Stiles standing there, looking down. "I hate you..." He mumbled.
"No you don't." I sobbed as I denied it.
He nodded slowly, "I do. You ruined everything!"
"Please, Stiles." I grabbed his arm but he pulled away.
"No. Stay away from me, Destiny." He said in a hard tone and walked away, leaving me sobbing on the floor.
"Hey, are you alright?" I heard someone and looked up to see Allison, the girl who used to date Scott. I'm not exactly sure what happened, only that their parents made them break up but they were still seeing each other secretly until her mom committed suicide and weird shit started happening.
"Does it look like it!?" I shot back, then regret hit me. "Sorry, I'm just-"
"No, it's fine." She smiled, "here, lets get lunch." Allison helped me up and we walked to the cafeteria.
"Who's this?" Lydia fake-smiled and took a bite of her apple as Allison and I sat down.
I instantly felt uncomfortable, "um, I followed you around last year and most of this year..."
She looked to the side in thought, "Ebany?" Lydia guessed, I shook my head and un-latched my jaw to tell her my name but she continued, "Ecstasy?"
"Destiny." I smiled.
"Oh," she grinned and took a bite of her sandwich, "hi."
"Hi," I replied and it was quiet for a while until Allison spoke up,
"So, Destiny, why were you crying?"
I sunk in my chair, "no reason. Just stupid people..."
"People like who?" She countered in an interest that scared me a bit.
"Just a guy,"
"Boyfriend?"
"No, but I thought we were close. Plus I'm fighting with my boyfriend, he's probably not even going to pick me up from school like he usually does... He's really stubborn like that." I looked down and nibbled on my cookie.
"Who's your boyfriend?" Allison pressed.
I sat up to face her, "he doesn't go here. He's older."
"I know most people in beacon hills, what's his name?" Okay now she was seriously starting to piss me off. When we first sat down I had read "Allison Argent" on her bag, her family is all werewolf hunters and she knows Derek so I'm just going to keep quiet.
"Oh look, there's my brother. Seeya!" I jumped up and ran to Scott, I glanced back to see hurt in her face. BA-BAM, BITCH! I knew that was going to sting. Ha-ha!
So after that Stiles gave me dirty looks and Scott completely ignored me but I stayed with them. Plus, Derek didn't pick me up so I walked to the hideout where I was shunned even more!
"Derek, can I talk to you for a minute?" I asked quietly. Everyone stared at me while Erika snickered,
"Fuck off, stupid slut. Just accept the fact that nobody wants you here and you're an omega! Now leave, we aren't your pack anymore."
I glanced at her, then to Boid who was looking the other way, Peter frowned at me and Isaac stared at his feet. What hurt the most was Derek's reaction, he didn't say a word, like he didn't have the balls to say what Erika did. He just stared into my eyes with his mad-looking-straight-faced-frown and flicked his eyes to the exit, then back at me. Basically telling me to get the fuck out.
So I turned on my heel and raised my head with all the pride I had left, even though I wanted to cry, but crying made me feel weak. So I walked out with dignity instead.
I hit the top step when I heard a deep and captivating voice, "only I make those decisions, so as far as I'm concerned Erika, /you/ can get out if you want that so badly. But Destiny stays no matter what." Derek smiled at me and Erika gasped in anger and insult, walking into the train.
I laughed and ran down to my amazingly amazing boyfriend who caught me when I jumped up and flung my legs around his waist.
