So seeing Derek as a teen wasn't what I was expecting at all when Stiles warned me that Scott said he was different, he looked about the age when I first met him the day of the Hale fire at the police station. I was tuning out Deaton as he was talking to all of us as the memories of that day kept coming back to me and plus seeing Derek like that was breaking my heart. I felt a pulling in my chest knowing it was our link telling me to go over to him as he laid on the metal table knocked out but I couldn't bring myself too. So I just stayed against to wall watching Lydia hold his hand, I knew that should have been me but again I just couldn't handle it again. I heard Deaton tell us to go home that they had school the next day as Derek's hand griped Lydia's tighter. She said she would stay cause her grades were fine as Scott nodded. I saw Stiles just stared at her as I practically ran out of there. I was in the Jeep before Scott and Stiles walked out of the clinic as Scott got in he looked at me. "You alright Nic?" I looked at him and nodded "yeah I'm just peachy just leave it at that both of you alright?" They nodded as Stiles started to drive towards Scott's house as I just watched out the window. After we dropped Scott off we went home I knew Stiles wanted to talk but I really didn't want to so I went straight to my room and laid on my bed. I stared up at the ceiling as I cried knowing that I couldn't handle this and how it was going to break both of us again. But the plus side is if he is struck like that forever he will forget about me turning down the proposal. I finally fell asleep hoping things would get better and that I could leave Beacon Hills soon.

I felt the sun come through my window and woke up sighing "welcome home Nic." I got out of bed and grabbed a pair of clothes and went into my bathroom I showered quick and got dressed. I grabbed my laptop and textbooks so I could do some work while Stiles was at school. I went to his room to see if he was up and wasn't completely shocked to see him and Malia together. I told them both to get up and I walked downstairs knowing my dad wasn't home and planned to stop by the station to say hi to him later. I put my stuff down on the coffee table and then went into the kitchen to grab something to eat. I saw Stiles and Malia come downstairs looking sheepish as I said good morning to them. They said good morning and grabbed something as well as we sat and talked. Malia asked me how I was feeling about seeing Derek again young as I shrugged saying he looked the same as the day I met him. Stiles looked at me "Nic.." I looked at him and shook my head "Sti please I don't want to talk about it really. Like I said to you and Scott just leave it alone please." He nodded as he Malia said they had to go as I told them good luck at school.

After they left I finished eating and cleaned up and then went into the living room and sat on the couch grabbing my laptop and textbooks and starting to do some school work as I listened to a movie that was playing on TV. I was working on one of my papers when I heard my phone go off seeing that Lydia texted me saying that I needed to get to the clinic right away. I sighed and put my stuff down and shoved my phone into my pocket and grabbed my purse and keys and left the house getting into my Mustang. Once I got to the clinic I parked and went inside seeing Lydia wrapping up Deaton's hand as I looked at them. They said that Derek had a panic attack and bolted and asked if I knew where he could go. I looked at them "well seeing as he doesn't remember any of us I would say the one place he knows the Hale house." Deaton and Lydia nodded as I texted Stiles to tell him what happened. I looked at Deaton "seeing that you are the one who knows more then any of us. Should I go after him." He shook his head "no cause you two are still bonded if he feels that pull when he's close to you with the way he is right now I don't know how he would react to you." I nodded "alright I guess I'll just go to the station and say hey to my dad he doesn't know I'm back in town and I'm sure he would want an explanation." Lydia looked at me "Nic, sorry we dragged you back into this. I know you wanted a normal life." I looked at her a nodded and said bye to her and Deaton.

I walked out of the clinic and got into my car and headed to the police station. Once I got there I parked and walked in seeing Tara at the front desk as she looked shocked to see me as I smiled "hey Tara." She looked at me "hey Nic. The Sheriff should be in is office." I nodded as she let me in and I walked into my dad's office he looked up from his paperwork as I gave him an innocent smile "surprise." He looked at me "what are you doing here Nic." I looked at him "what I can't come and see my dad." He gave me the you're full of shit look "not in this town especially when I know what's going on." I shrugged and looked out his window that was facing all the desks when I saw Deputy Parrish walk in followed by another deputy who leading a handcuffed Derek Hale in. I saw Derek look in my direction knowing he felt the link but the person who stole my attention was Parrish. I had to admit he looked really good I was surprised I never noticed before but then again I was all wrapped up in Derek and everything I couldn't really pay attention. I texted Stiles telling him, him and Scott that they needed to get to the station asap. I watched as they fingered printed Derek knowing we were so busted. They called my dad out as I followed as they showed him the computer screen seeing Derek's picture. Parrish looked at my dad "we found him at the Hale house he attacked Deputy Haigh when they didn't answer about what happened to his house. My dad looked at me as we saw Scott and Stiles running into the station as my dad looked at the three of us and then told Parrish and Haight he would handle it as they nodded and went to their desks.

Our dad looked at Derek one more time then pointed to us and then his office as we followed him in. I sat by the window on his couch looking out at Derek seeing him staring at me as I felt the tugging of the bond in my chest knowing he felt too. I remembered what Deaton told me about not knowing about how he would react to me so I turned my attention back to my dad as he asked Scott and Stiles questions. I heard my dad ask Stiles why he brought me back into this mess as Stiles said he thought that I had heard from Derek but found out that we broke up after Derek proposed to me. And how we went to Mexico to find him and found him like this as my dad asked if he was swimming in the fountain of youth. Stiles looked at him and said "No. We found him buried in a tomb in wolfsbane in an Aztec temple in Mexico underneath a church in the middle of a town that was destroyed by an earthquake." My dad looked at him "you said you were camping!" Stiles nodded "yeah camping in Mexico." Scott told my dad that Derek didn't remember anything as my dad called Derek into his office. I stood back with Stiles as we watched Scott show Derek his alpha eyes. I noticed Stiles looking at our dad's desk as he nudged me to show me an envelope as I saw it was from the Eichen House saying that was the second notice as we just shared a look with each other. Stiles looked at Scott and told him to lie to Derek.

Scott told Derek he could trust him as Derek told him he would trust him if he told him what happened to his family. Scott that him that there was a fire but his family was safe and everything. I just gave Scott a look and shook my head hearing him tell Derek he would take him to them when Derek remembered everything, Stiles pulled Scott aside as Scott told his he didn't like lying to Derek because things go easier when the truth is told. He then told us to take Derek back to his house, We nodded as we said bye to our dad as Parrish stopped. "hey Nic, I was wondering if you were free one night if we could grab a burger or what ever." I looked at him and nodded "I would like that. Put your number in my phone and I'll do the same. And Jordan you can text me anytime you want." He nodded as her handed me his phone and I handed him my. We exchanged numbers as I said bye to him as Stiles looked at me "you are playing with fire once we get Derek back you know he's going to fight for you." I shrugged "I guess we will see its not like he hasn't hooked up with any one after we broke up." Stiles looked at me "like you didn't hook up with anyone either just to find out if he felt it and vice versa." I just looked at him as we walked out of the station.

Once we got into the Jeep, Derek looked at me from the back seat "I know you from some where." I looked over at Stiles as he gave me a look and then looked back at the road. I looked back at Derek and nodded "maybe you saw me in school." He nodded and looked out the window as I heard him say "there's something else between us I can I feel it." I bit my lip and just watched the road as Stiles drove. Thankfully we pulled up to Scott's house before any more questions got asked by Derek about us. I watched as Derek got out of the car as I felt Stiles but his hand on my shoulder as I gave him the I'm fine look.

We got into Scott's as I shook my head listening to Stiles and Derek arguing about not talking to each other. Derek looked at Stiles and pointed towards something "whose going to talk to him?" we both turned and saw Agent McCall sitting at the dining room table. He asked us what we were doing there as he Derek told him that we were waiting for Scott as he said he was doing the same thing. Agent McCall looked at us saying he was supposed to have dinner with Scott but brought extra if we were hungry. Me and Stiles said no as Derek said he was hungry. Stiles tried to get Derek to go upstairs to Scott's room but he went over to the table and sat down. We sighed and sat down at the table as well. Agent McCall looked at Stiles "so what's your friend's name?" I looked at Stiles as he told Agent McCall he was our cousin Miguel Juarez Cinqua Tinago and that he was from Mexico. I don't know why but at that moment I kinda wish Derek was Derek again so I could see his reaction to Stiles calling him that again. Agent McCall started to talk to Derek in Spanish as Derek answered him back perfectly in Spanish. I just stared at Derek I never knew he knew Spanish. Agent McCall told him what he had to eat as he started to eat an egg roll and shrimp pork fried rice. I knew Stiles hated being around Agent McCall but I gave him the just chill look. It was quiet for a little bit until I heard Derek start talking to agent McCall about him being and FBI agent and asked if he investigated murders. Agent Mccall said sometimes he did as Derek asked him if he knew about the Hale fire. Me and Stiles shared a look as Agent McCall told Derek about the fire.

After Agent McCall told Derek about the fire we went up to Scott's room and that's when Derek smashed Stiles' head against the wall. I shook my head and sat on a chair. Derek looked at Stiles telling him he would only talk to Scott because he was the Alpha. Stiles nodded and pulled out his phone and walked out of the room to call Scott. I watched Derek pace around the room wanting to talk to him but had no idea what to say to him. I noticed him stop and look at the window at something as he said "Kate." I looked towards the window and saw psycho bitch in the window as she looked at him "hey, handsome. Been a long time...longer than you think." I watched as he walked towards the window as I got up and walked behind him. I touched his arm feeling the spark as he looked at me. Kate smirked "he feels the bond but not like you do. He has no clue who you really are too him." Derek looked at Kate questionly as Kate reached her hand towards him and he took it. I looked at him "Derek, please don't". He hesitated for a moment before Kate pushed me back and pulled him out the window. I ran to the window and watched as him and Kate disappeared into the night. I heard the door open seeing Stiles coming on talking on the phone as he said "you might be right" and hung up with Scott. He looked at me "Kate?" I nodded "yeah that bitch is back." He nodded as we ran out of Scott's room and down to the Jeep. Once we were in the Jeep Stiles started to head towards the school.

As Stiles drove I looked at him and asked why we were going to the school. He told me that Scott said that Peter told him Kate would bring him there because the Hales had a vault hidden under the school. I nodded as I shook my head knowing a few years ago this stuff wouldn't make sense to me but sadly it did now. We pulled up to the school seeing Kira and Lydia waiting for us. Stiles grabbed his bat as we heard fighting and heard Scott's howl as Kira took off running towards the fight. We ran after Kira seeing Malia and Scott fighting berserkers as Lydia looked at Stiles "you're gonna need something better then the bat." I laughed as we started to help Scott, Malia and Kira fight the berserkers as one of the slashed Malia's leg and she went down as Stiles stayed close to Lydia swinging his bat. I kept fighting the berserker that was fighting me when I noticed someone new come to help us as I whispered "Derek."

It was like watching something from a movie Derek's body kept flickering from his teenage body to adult body until his adult body came back. He looked towards me as our eyes locked and I noticed his eyes were yellow. I noticed Lydia and Stiles had left the fight and figured they went to where the Hale vault was to find Peter and Kate. The berserker I was fighting made a sound due to the fact I completely forgot I was fighting it and I turned to look at it, it slashed my stomach. I heard someone yell my name before everything went black.

I woke up a few hours later to see I was in the hospital and saw Melissa looking me over. When she saw me awake she smiled "hey sweetie" I looked at her "how did I get here?" I tried to move but winced in pain as Mel laughed and looked at me "stay still the wound wasn't deep but you definitely will have a scar." She looked at me with sad eyes as she answered my question "Derek brought you here. I asked if he wanted to stay but he said you probably didn't want to see him. What happened between the two of you?" I sighed and told her about Derek proposing to me and me rejecting him and that was the last time I saw him until we rescued him. She gave me a gentle hug saying sorry as Scott, Stiles and my dad walked in. My dad walked in giving me a hug as he told me Scott and Stiles told him about me and Derek. I told him it was alright as Mel told us I would be in the hospital for a day or two. I nodded as she left to take care of her other patients as I talked to Scott, Stiles and my dad. After they left I grabbed my phone and texted Derek "thanks for bringing me to the hospital." I sent it and waited for a reply which came a few minutes later. "I'll always save you Nic. But we do need to talk." I sighed and texted him back "we will soon." I put my phone down on the table by the bed and heard it go off again sighing thinking it was Derek again but it was from Jordan. He asked me how I was doing and everything and when I get out he stills owes me a burger. I smiled and texted him back saying I was fine and that it was a date. I put my phone back down on the table and started to think about who stole the bonds and why did Kate come back. I also started to about Jordan and Derek and if I could be happy with Jordan or was Stiles right and would Derek fight for me. I sighed at that thought and closed my eyes dreaming of both of them.
