I only own my OC's and plot.
"Derek, you better speak now before I make you speak." Peter said, very angry.
"Laura was going to kill me if I didn't help her live in someone else again." I say, trying to save Derek, who seemed pretty unstable with all of this happening.
"So you didn't let her?" Peter said, turning to Derek.
"I'm still right here." I say, a little offened that he would have rather let Derek watch me die.
"I couldn't do that, Peter. I needed her. We needed her." He explains as he sits down on the couch.
"Doesn't matter, Derek. You know the risks." Peter said, looking frustrated.
"Of course I do. But I was willing to take those risks."
"It's such a shame that she didn't die." Cora said sarcastically.
"You know what, Cora..." I say, walking over to her.
"What?" She said, trying to one up me.
"Forget it. You aren't worth it." I say, walking back to the other side of the room. Cora started to come for me.
"Cora, don't." Peter said, stopping her.
"I'll tell you the same thing I told Laura...if you even lay a single hand on her, I won't hesitate to kill you."
"Oh. So you did learn something while you were alone and all alpha?" Cora said, smirking evily.
"KNOCK IT OFF." Peter said sternly once again.
"I'm sorry that you left me. I'm sorry that I thought you were dead. I'm sorry that I had to teach myself. I'm sorry that I don't have the best skills as the alpha should normally have. If you aren't here to help, get out." Derek said, walking over to sit down next to me. Cora went into the kitchen and Peter sat on the edge of the coffee table.
"Why can't I just go back, Derek? You've had me for 3 days. I graduate in 2 days. Bring me home, Derek." I say, hoping he'll finally agree.
"I don't think she should." Peter said.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"I don't think it's safe." Peter said again.
"Oh and why would you care?" Derek said, still upset from a few moments ago.
"Don't test me, little brother." Peter said.
"What do we do?"
"We bring her back the day of graduation." Peter said.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" I say, angry.
"And then we bring her back." Peter said.
"NO WAY." I say, frustrated that no one was even listening to me.
"Peter-" Derek said but Peter cut him off.
"She won't be safe at home, Derek. I can feel it." Peter said.
"How can you feel it? You've been here for no more than 25 minutes and you're acting like you know me." I say.
"Alpha senses." Derek said.
"You're agreeing with him?" I say, upset that Derek was on his side.
"Would you rather us put you back in a situation to die?" Derek asked with a serious look on his face.
"I'm pretty sure I can take care of it. That's the ONLY thing that's gotten me this far, Derek. Don't you remember?" I say.
"She has a point there, Peter."
"Oh believe me, I know. I've seen all of it."
"You've what?" I say, my voice staying in a steady tone.
"I've been watching from afar."
"You've been spying?"
"Not spying. Protecting."
"Where were you when Derek almost killed me...TWICE? Or any of the other times?"
"I was watching."
"WATCHING? JUST SIMPLY WATCHING?" I say raising my voice.
"Ashley, calm down." Derek said, grabbing my arm gently. I look at him and pull away.
"I won't calm down, Derek. I want to go home and graduate and live my life, okay? I want to be with my boyfriend and friends."
"SHe wants to go, let's let her go." Peter said.
"Wait, really?" I say, excited but confused.
"You were just saying that she shouldn't go." Derek said. Peter shrugs his shoulders.
"We'll let her go and when something bad happens, we'll be there. But we'll let her deal with the consequences of going back. If that's what she wishes, then let her go back." Peter said, calmly.
"I'm not arguing with that anymore. Take me back, Derek." I say, excited.
"Are you sure?" Derek said to Peter as I go to the door.
"She'll learn the hard way." Peter said, as he grabbed Cora and met Derek and I in the car.
