Hey guys!
Hope you had a good weekend!
Enjoy the new chapter!
Hearing a tapping I blinked the sleep out of my eyes as I looked around before seeing a figure at my window. Standing up I wondered over to the window and opened one side.
"Derek? It's four o'clock in the morning, what's wrong?"
He stumbled through the window sill, collapsing in a heap as he panted.
"Derek?"
Turning I flicked on the lights to see Derek favoring his left arm, shaking my head I walked over to my nightstand and grabbed the small first aid kit I hid there. Kneeing down I rolled up Derek's shirt sleeve to see a bullet wound.
"Shouldn't you be healing?"
"It's the bullet."
Nodding I grabbed the clean gauze from the first aid kit.
"What all can I do?"
"Just wrap it for now."
I nodded and wrapped the wound.
"Come on, some sleep might help."
He nodded and crawled over to my bed, laying down I smiled when he joined me.
Waking up I expected to feel the warm body of one Derek Hale, only to find a cold, empty space.
"Where?"
Walking downstairs it didn't take long to realize I had over slept, and Stiles was at school.
"Guess last night really wiped me out."
It had been an easy night at the club, but we had closed down around 3 a.m. because of a meeting I had with my employees about some new policies since I found out one of my now ex bartenders had stolen money from the register the two nights I was gone. Quickly cooking some breakfast I sat in front of the TV and watched the news for a few minutes before taking a shower. As I stepped out I heard my phone going off. Cursing I quickly wrapped my towel around my body and answered my phone, putting it on speaker so I could get dressed.
"Hello?"
"Destiny?"
"Stiles, what's wrong?"
He groaned.
"Your boyfriend showed up at my school and collapsed in front of my Jeep, and I'm pretty sure his wolf ass is dying, what am I supposed to do with him?"
Shaking my head I sighed.
"Pick me up, let me look at him, and we will go from there."
"Thanks sis."
"Oh lord, you look like death."
Derek glared at me while I climbed into the Jeep.
"Let me see it."
Leaning forward I watched as Derek rolled up his sleeve.
"You took the wrap off, Derek, that isn't helping."
"Oh, my God! What is that?"
I smiled at Stiles as Derek gave me a pathetic look.
"Oh, is that contagious? You know what, you should probably just get out."
"Start the car. Now."
I shook my head, knowing the two were going to argue while I tried to figure out where we could take the injured werewolf.
"I don't think you should be barking orders with the way you look. In fact, I think if I wanted to, I could probably drag your little werewolf ass out into the middle of the road and leave you for dead."
"Start the car, or I'm gonna rip your throat out with my teeth."
I rolled my eyes.
"Boys stop. Stiles I'm not letting you leave Derek for dead and Derek if you hurt my little brother I will stop talking to you and cut off your favorite appendage in your sleep and make it look like an accident."
Stiles smiled smugly while Derek pouted for half a second when Stiles started his Jeep and puled away from the curb.
"Where am I supposed to take him?"
"Ask Scott, I really don't know. We can't keep him at the house."
"Stop talking about me like I'm a pet."
I smirked and ruffled his hair like I would a dog. Causing him to glare at me, a slight hint of mild amusement in his eyes.
Finally after a few hours the sun set and Stiles was talking to Scott as Derek was starting to get worse.
"What am I supposed to do with him?...And by the way, he's starting to smell…like death."
I doubled over in giggles at the look Derek shot Stiles.
"What about your boss?...You're not gonna believe where he's telling me to take you."
I raised an eyebrow as Stiles handed Derek the phone.
"Did you find it?...If you don't find it, then I'm dead, all right?...Then think about this. The alpha called you out against your will he's gonna do it again. Next time, you either kill with him or you get killed. So if you want to stay alive, then you need me. Find the bullet."
Derek hung up and handed the phone back to Stiles who started driving to the Veterinarian's office.
Pulling up to the Vet's office I told Stiles to go unlock the door while I helped Derek out of the Jeep and into the Vet office where he collapsed on a stack of dog food. When Stiles turned to us, phone in hand.
"Does Nordic blue monkshood mean anything to you?"
"It's a rare form of wolfsbane. He has to bring me the bullet."
"Why?"
"Because I'm gonna die without it."
Cursing I helped the werewolf up as Stiles opened the door to one of the exam rooms, raising an eyebrow as Derek started pulling his shirt off, leaving me to admire the man quickly spotting the triskelon on his back, before forcing myself to focus on the problem at hand.
"That doesn't look like anything some Echinacea and a good night's sleep couldn't take care of."
Derek was having issues staying focused as he swayed in his spot I stood next to him and prepared to catch him if he fell over.
"When the infection reaches my heart, it'll kill me."
He turned to look through some of the drawers looking for something, again giving me time to admire how built the werewolf was.
"Positivity just isn't in your vocabulary, is it?"
"If he doesn't get here with the bullet in time, last resort."
"Which is?"
"You're going to cut off my arm."
I gasped in alarm as Derek help up an electric saw before placing it on the table and pushing it towards my brother, who proceeded to panic as Derek tied a band above the infection on his arm.
"Oh my God! What if you bleed to death?"
"It'll heal if it works."
"Look, I don't know if I can do this."
"Why not?"
"Well, because of the cutting through the flesh, the sawing of the bone, and especially the blood!"
Shaking my head I grabbed the knife from the Stiles while Derek yelled at him.
"You faint at the sight of blood?"
"No. But I might at the sight of a chopped-off arm!"
Derek sighed and shook his head.
"All right, fine. How about this? Either you cut off my arm, or I'm gonna cut off your head."
As Derek moved to reach for Stiles I pulled my brother out of the way and glared at Derek, who turned and spat up black blood all over the floor.
"Now, you gotta do it now."
Shaking my head I pushed the blade just under the band, about to pull the trigger when Scott burst through the door.
"What the hell are you doing?"
I breathed a sigh of relief and put the blade down.
"You just prevented us from a lifetime of nightmares."
Derek slowly straitened up while Scott dug in is pocket for the bullet, handed it Derek, who quickly passed out, dropping the bullet. Catching the wolf I watched as Scott went for the bullet, seconds later he grabbed the bullet and Stiles punched Derek in the face to wake him up. Scott handed him the bullet and we watched as Derek bit off the top of the bullet, empting out the contents on the table, lit it on fire before shoving it into the wound, causing the werewolf to drop to the floor in pain, growls and roars ripping from his throat before the wound healed on it's own.
"That was awesome! Yes!"
We looked at Stiles in annoyance before turning back to Derek who was slowly getting to his feet.
"Are you okay?"
"Except for the agonizing pain?"
"I'm guessing the ability to use sarcasm is a good sign of health."
Derek gave Stiles a look of death.
"Boys, play nice. You come here and I'll cut that band off."
Derek nodded and let me cut the band off with scissors while Scott went after him.
"Okay, we saved your life, which means you're gonna leave us alone. You got that? And if you don't, I'm gonna go back to Allison's dad, and I'm gonna tell him everything."
Derek did not look happy with Scott as he slowly shoved me behind him.
"You're gonna trust them? You think they can help you?"
"Why not? They're a lot freaking nicer than you are!"
Derek scoffed.
"Yeah, I can show you exactly how nice they are."
"What do you mean?"
Derek turned to look at me.
"Go home with Stiles."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"Okay."
Nodding lightly I grabbed my brother and we left.
"If he hurts you."
"You couldn't hurt him brother, you know it and I know it."
"He can't hurt me though. Because you will kill him."
I laughed at his confidence.
So what do we think?
Remember to review and I will update onTuesday!
