I really thought I had gotten away from this crap of werewolves and everything but I guess not. Cause here I am waiting outside of the gates of campus waiting for Stiles and everyone to pick me up to Mexico to go and find Derek fucking Hale. The one person I promised I wouldn't see again until I graduated from college to see if I truly wanted to spend my life with him. I looked up to the sky and sighed "you must still be laughing at me Ry for falling for the hot werewolf and being the one to break his heart at a marriage proposal. Yeah its real funny." I shook my head of course I missed Derek and felt the pain of the bond every know and then he was the second love of my life I never thought I would love someone as much as I loved my middle and high school boyfriend Ryan that was until he died in a car accident our junior year of high school. But anyway I'll never forget the phone call I got from Stiles the day before.
I was sitting in one of marketing classes when my phone started pulling up with texts from Scott, Lydia and Stiles asking if Derek had texted me or called me. I answered them saying not that me and Derek haven't spoken since the night before I left for school. The day went on with anything more from them until I got back to my dorm and got that phone call from Stiles. "Nic we have a problem. Scott, Lydia, Malia, Kira and me are coming to get you tomorrow and we are going to Mexico Derek is missing and we think hunters got him. I know you wanted away from this life Nic but we could really use your help and everything. I'll see you tomorrow, love .you bye."
So now instead of going with my friends tonight I'm going to Mexico with my brother and our friends to find my ex boyfriend who I might still be in love with. But yet I know we both have been hooking up with people I can feel it with our bond I don't know if its to hurt each other but it does hurt knowing he can hook up with someone else but he must feel the same when I do the same thing. I looked up from that thought and saw the familiar blue Jeep that belonged to Stiles pull up as I saw him and Scott smiling at me as I shook my head. Scott opened the front door and got out as I slid into the front to sit in-between him and Stiles. I looked in the back and saw Lydia, Kira and Malia as Lydia looked at me, "Sorry that we had to come get you Nic." I shrugged "its alright Lyds this is actually what I wanted to do on a Friday go to Mexico and looked for my ex boyfriend with my brother and friends. She laughed at my sarcasm as Stiles looked at me "are we going to know the whole story of why you broke up with him. I mean it is a long road to Mexico after all." Lydia hit the back of his head. "She doesn't have to tell his if she doesn't want to Stiles." I head Malia say yes she does. I sighed as the memory came to my head and started to tell them what really happened that night.
It was after my graduation party and everyone had gone home and my dad and Stiles were in the house cleaning up. Me and Derek were sitting on the front porch talking when he suggested we go to our place in the woods by his old house. Of course I agreed and went inside and my dad and Stiles I would be back later I was going out with Derek as they said ok. We got into Derek's car and headed to the preserve and parked once we go there. We headed job into the woods and found our rock as I climbed on top of it and sat down. I noticed Derek was still standing as I sighed and looked at Him "Derek we really need to talk." He nodded and agreed saying he wanted to tell me something. I nodded and talked him to go first. I watched as he got down on one knee and pull out a ring box from his jacket pocket and opened it seeing a diamond ring it. He looked up at me and smiled "Nicole Marie Stilinski will you marry me, please?" There was nothing but pure love in his eyes as I looked at him with tears in my eyes shaking my head. "I'm sorry Derek I can't, that's why i wanted to talk to you. I think we should break up. I want a normal life away from Beacon Hills and the supernatural. I love you with every fiber in my heart but I won't marry you." I slid off the rock and saw the hurt in his eyes as he stood up and reached for me. I shook my head and ran away from. The last thing I heard was him calling my name I also felt his heart breaking through our bond as I'm sure he felt me. When I reached the parking lot and Lydia to come and pick me up and take me home and then the next day I left for college.
I looked at everyone at the jeep seeing them looking at me with sad eyes expect Malia I knew she was still getting used to being human again so I was thankful for that. Stiles looked at me and then turned back to the road "so that's why you couldn't wait to leave the next day was you didn't want to face him." I nodded as Lydia looked at me "did he try to call you after I got you?" I nodded "yeah he text me saying I love you but I never answered him back. Now I feel like shit that I didn't." I started to flip out "what if something bad happened to him? Wouldn't feel that? What if he is dead I'm sure I would feel that through the bond." Scott put his arm around me and rubbed my back "Nic we are going to find Derek and he is going to be alright. I promise." I nodded and looked out the window as Stiles drove towards our destination. I looked at Scott "where are we going in Mexico by the way?" I saw him smirk "The hunters that we believe are a family called the Calaveras. You, Lydia and Stiles are going to talk to the head of the family Araya and offer her money for Derek's where abouts." I shook her head "yeah like that's going to work." I saw Scott smirk "if it don't there is a plan b with me, Kira and Malia being in their club." I shook my head "yeah that's gonna work real well."
A few hours later we were in Mexico going over the plan again as I hoped we would find Derek in one piece even if he didn't want to see me it would give me peace seeing him alive. Scott, Kira and Malia headed to the club as Lydia, Stiles and myself headed to where Araya was going to be. Once we got near the compound we separated with Kira, Scott and Malia going to the club while me, Stiles and Lydia went to the compound to Araya. We were greeted by a group of hunters that lead us to Araya. I looked at Stiles "let Lydia do all the talking we don't want to piss of the army of hunters." He nodded as we were lead to a table and got told to sit. Stiles looked at them "aren't you all bunch of friendly people." The laughed and walked away as we waited for Araya.
Lydia looked at Stiles "this is the stupidest plan we ever came up with and we are going to die." Stiles looked at her "is that the Banshee in you telling you that?" Lydia shook her head "no its just a person who doesn't want to die." I laughed a little and looked at Stiles "this so isn't going to work Sti. And Lydia is right we probably are going to die. Derek people isn't even here." We heard a door open and the music from the club as we turned our heads and saw an older women and guy walk over to us. Lydia looked at her "we're here for Derek Hale." The women looked at us. "What makes you think we have him?" Stiles was about to open his mouth when I looked at her. "you must be Araya." She nodded and looked me over "you must be the girl who is bonded to Derek. I heard about you. You gave everything up to be with him only to break his heart and left him for a better life. You should have stayed away Nicole."
I was just about to say something when Lydia looked at her "we heard you can brought." She nudged Stiles as he opened the bag he was holding and looked at Araya "fifty thousand for Derek." I looked at both him and Lydia about to ask them where the hell they got that money when Araya said something about Japanese mafia. I remembered dealing with them when we were fighting Void Stiles and Chris locking the money somewhere. Araya looked at us "you three aren't that smart coming here alone." Stiles looked at her and smirked "what makes you think we came alone." Araya stared at us "you brought a wolf into my house?" Stiles just kept smirking "We brought an Alpha." Araya just looked at us as we watched someone run into the club.
I looked at Lydia and Stiles kinda sending them the I have a bad feeling look as they both nodded. Araya looked at us and started to say how our timing was poor that it was the night of the lunar eclipse and if we knew what that meant. Of course I did but Lydia answered for me. Araya nodded "but do you know it's meaning." Lydia looked at her "some people say it's a time of reflection...or grief." Araya nodded a looked at her and then to me and Stiles and then back to Lydia "I wonder why, when you and your friends have suffered so much loss, you would risk again all for someone like Derek Hale." Stiles looked at her " 'Cause we don't like to lose." Just then we heard Scott's voice come on the radio telling Stiles to pull some money away from Araya. That's when all hell broke lose after Stiles told Araya her to take the money someone came up behind us and the last thing I heard Araya say was "you will see how we negotiate." Then everything went black.
I woke up feeling that I was on a floor figuring that I was in an room and heard Stiles' voice. I sat up slowing looking around seeing Kira, Malia, Stiles and Scott noticing Scott was still knocked out. Kira looked worried about Scott as I heard her say he's open and turned and watched seeing he was looking for a way out. Kira said that they tried that and that she think that other's had before as she looked at the floor. I did as well and noticed when I noticed all the scratch marks and blood stains on the floor and couldn't help but wonder if any of them were Derek's. Just that thought made my heart break again what if he really was dead and I didn't feel it cause I was hooking up with someone else just to make him jealous. I shook my heard as I listened to the others I guess Malia made the suggestion that when someone came in we jumped them and then run. I heard Scott say that we weren't leaving Lydia behind as Malia said something and Stiles said that was actually progress. The door opened and two hunters came in and grabbed Kira and Scott shutting Stiles, me and Malia back in the room.
I looked at Stiles "I wonder where they are taking them." He looked at me "probably where they have Lydia." I nodded and sat against the wall tracing one of the scratch marks on the floor wondering if we ever where going to get out of the room or even out of Mexico alive. I don't know how much time pasted when I heard Stiles asked Malia if she could hear what was happening as she said was trying too. I told Stiles to give her a break as he looked at me "those are our friends up there and you don't even care." I looked at him "of course I care Stiles. Lydia is my best friend and Scott is another brother to me. Don't fucking say I don't care about him, Lydia, or Kira." He was about to say something when Malia said "they're killing him" but it was the next thing that made me and Stiles turn to look at her shocked and worried. She looked at us "what?" I looked at her "you said Scott said Kate." She nodded as Stiles said that was impossible as she asked him who Kate was. Stiles looked at her and explained who Kate was and what she did to the Hale family and how Peter killed her a few years ago and asked Malia if she was sure as she nodded saying she positive that was what Scott said. Me and Stiles shared a look wondering if it was possible that Kate was still alive and if she was I knew deep inside she was the one that took Derek.
We heard the door unlock as one of the hunters told us we were free to go as we walked out of the room and club. Once we got outside we saw Kira, Lydia and Scott waiting for us along with Araya and someone else. Scott looked at us "this is Braeden she's going to lead us to where Derek is. I looked at him "and where is that?" Braeden looked at me "La Iglesia." Lydia looked at her "the church?" Braeden nodded as Stiles asked something as she looked at him "it's no where were you find god." We nodded as we got into the Jeep again and started to follow Braeden into the desert to find The Church. As we drove Scott explained to Kira who Kate was and what she did to the Hale family and what happened the night on the winter dance that year. Once he finished Stiles said "we buried her" Scott shook his head "we saw a casket" and then explained what Araya told him. Lydia shook her head "I wonder what a sociopathic bitch turns into." I shrugged "who knows but I know I'll be happy to stop her and everything." Lydia nodded as Scott gave me a look knowing I was thinking about the night she chained me and Derek up and tortured him making me watch and then made me have the realization that I was his mate. I looked at him giving him the I'm fine look.
We continued to follow Braeden as everyone talked but I was just lost in my thoughts and worries about Derek. All of sudden one of Stiles' tires went flat and the engine started to smoke. Stiles looked at us "well that's not good" we all got out of the car and saw the flat tire as Braeden said her and Scott nodded to go as Scott looked at Stiles as he told him to go. I grabbed Scott's arm and looked at him "bring him back either way please." Scott nodded and looked at me. "He's still alive Nic I promise." I nodded as I watched as he got on to Braeden's bike and they left. As me and Lydia went to the front of the Jeep with Stiles as he popped up the hood to see what the matter was. We looked at him "well with the flat tire and what ever happened we are going to be for a little bit." The both of us nodded as we tried to help him the best we could.
Kira and Malia were keeping watch just in case someone followed us or something happened that's when we heard Malia say something was coming. Her and Kira got ready as the three of us turned to see what danger was coming for us as we saw someone who was tall and covered in bones running towards. Kira and Malia went on the attack and started fighting with whatever it was until it headed back towards the desert. Malia started to follow it as Stiles called after her telling not too and surprisedly she listened to him. I looked at him wondering if him and her got closer since I've been as he just shrugged and Lydia looked at me and nodded. I smiled at him he looked happy and that was I cared about everything else we face was just normal for us now. He finished fixing the engine as his phone went off he looked at us. "Scott said they found Derek and he would see back home." We nodded as Lydia, Mailia and Kira got into the car I was starting to when Stiles stopped "Nik, Scott said Derek isn't the same so you should be prepared for that." I nodded as the both of us got into the Jeep as he started heading back towards Beacon Hills. I looked out the window and wondered what Scott meant that Derek was different. I mean it couldn't be bad right? God I hope not.
