Vicious ~Derek Hale~

Chapter Eight

-Time skip to motel california-
        The next morning I realized I had a cross country meet. I groaned getting out of my bed and walked into my bathroom. I yawned and took out some towels from the cupboard and put them on the counter. I stripped down and stepped into the shower. The hot water went over my body as I kept thinking about what happened. Both Derek and Ennis are dead, or so we all think. I'm more worried about Derek rather than Ennis, although I'm worried about him too. Scott was almost killed also. Derek wouldn't let me go, he couldn't risk them finding out I was with Derek. I sighed and finished my showering routine and stepped out of the shower throwing my hair up in one towel and dried off with the other one. I wrapped the towel around my body and walked into my room to only be greeted by Ethan sitting on my bed. I clutched the towel closer to me out of fright and glared at Ethan. 
        "Don't do that to me." I said loosening up a bit. 
        "Sorry." he said quietly. I could tell he was on edge about Ennis. 
        "Have you heard anything?" I asked walking over to my closet. 
        "No, not yet." Ethan said shaking his head. I grabbed an outfit and threw it on my bed and sat next to Ethan. I awkwardly hugged Ethan.
        "I'm sure he'll be okay. Remember you have me, Aiden, Kali, and Duke." I said looking him in the eyes. He sighed and nodded. It pained my heart not being able to tell him about me being a part of Derek's pack. It absolutely kills me. But if I tell him, he's going to tell Aiden who will just got tell Deucalion. That's just something that we can't risk. Although I am not about of Aiden and Ethan's pack, I will do whatever it takes to make sure they stay safe, they're like brothers to me, I can't lose them. Ethan looked at me and sighed and stood up. 
        "We're leaving in an hour." he said walking towards my door. I nodded and he left my room, closing the door. I got dressed and grabbed my bag and walked out of my room and down the stairs. Once I reached the bottom Aiden and Ethan were sitting on the couch watching tv. I dropped my bag by the door and walked further into the living room. Once I got the full view of the living room I saw someone I thought I would never ever see again. I saw my best friend Sydney. I stopped in my tracks and just looked at her. She looked over at me and smiled. I felt myself starting to cry. I covered my mouth and Sydney got up and walked towards me hugging me. I hugged back letting the tears fall. When I left Maine I never thought I would never see her again. I had no way of contacting her. We pulled back from our hug and I wiped my tears and let out a laugh. 
        "What are you doing here?" I questioned. She looked over at the twins and smirked.
        "I'm uh, actually related to Aiden and Ethan." she said with a smile putting her hands on her hips. My eyes widened as I looked behind her at the two twins who were looking at me smiling. I smiled at them and returned my attention back to my best friend.
        "You never told me." I said grinning at her.
        "You never told me who you talked to!' she countered. I shrugged and laughed. "Plus Aiden and Ethan told me you could use someone to talk to." she said smiling. They were right, I did need someone to talk to. I smiled and walked over to the twins standing in front of them. 
        "Stand up." I said smiling. They did as I said and I hugged them both. "Thank you." I said into their shoulders. I heard them both mutter a 'welcome' and we stopped hugging. "You guys can talk to me if you need to." I said looking at them both. They just nodded and sat back down. I turned back to Sydney and motioned for her to follow me to the kitchen. She sat at the counter and I took out the orange juice from the fridge. I got down to two glasses and poured juice in each of them. 
        "So, how you been?" Syd asked as I put up the juice.
        "Honestly, I could be better." I answered honestly. 
        "What happened?" she asked. I sighed and leaned against the counter.
        "Someone in my pack might be dead. We don't know for sure, we haven't heard anything." I answered honestly. I didn't know if Ennis or Derek were still alive, which killed me. I sighed and took a drink of my juice. 
        "Yeah, that'd put a damper on things." she said sighing. I nodded and looked at her.
        "So what exactly are you doing here Squidney?" I questioned. She laughed at her old nickname.
        "Aiden and Ethan called asking if I wanted to be part of the pack. I guess this Deucalion is getting pretty desperate." she explained. My heart sunk to the bottom of my stomach and I stiffened. Syd looked at me with raised eyebrows. "What's wrong?" she questioned. I quickly composed myself and shook my head.
        "Nothing. That's great Syd!" I said smiling at her. She smiled and finished off her juice. I took out my phone and typed what was really wrong. 
'I'm not really part of Deucalion's pack...' I then handed her my phone and her eyes widened. 
'Then why are you here?' she typed back. I sighed and replied.
'I came here to originally be in his pack, but then I realized what they do. They kidnapped one of my friend's sisters and two of his pack members.' I told her. She sighed and typed back.
'Do the twins know?'
'No... I'm waiting for the right moment. It kills me that I can't tell them. They're like brothers to me and I can't stand lying to them.' I told her as a tear slipped from my eye. She read the message and looked at me. She had a look of understanding and nodded. I sighed and put my phone in my pocket just in time for the twins to come walking in. 
        "Come on Ella, we can't be late." Ethan said. I nodded and looked over at Syd.
        "Guess I'll see you when we get back." I said looking at her. She rose an eyebrow and scoffed.
        "Girl please, I'm coming with you. I'm just not taking a bus." she said smiling. I smiled at her and we left grabbing our bags. Sydney got on her bike and I walked over to Ethan.
        "You guys really are related." I laughed. They all exchanged glances and smiled. I smiled and grabbed the extra helmet the twins considered mine and got on the back of Ethan's bike putting my helmet on. We rode to the school to see everyone already there. We all got off our bikes. me getting off of Ethan's bike, and walked over to Coach Finstock who was taking roll call. 
        "Look who's finally here! Aiden, Ethan, Ella, glad you could make it!" he yelled.
        "Sorry coach." I laughed. He scoffed and continued taking roll call. We all piled on the bus, well except for me, I was pulled back by Allison and Lydia. I looked at them with raised eyebrows. 
        "Can you ride with us?" they asked. I furrowed my eyebrows together and looked at the bus. I sighed turning my attention back to them and crossed my arms over my chest.
        "Yeah sure." I said. They both smiled and hugged me. I hugged them back and we walked over to Allison's car and got in. We followed the bus all the way to a rest stop where a kid got off and barfed. Gross. I then saw Stiles and Scott get off the bus and Stiles rushing Scott into the bathroom. I got out of the car and ran towards the bathrooms. I barged into the men's room and saw Scott sitting on the ground. 
        "Oh my god, I knew you shouldn't have came!" I exclaimed sitting on my knees beside Stiles and in front of Scott. Scott lifted hit shirt to reveal a gash he got when he was fighting. Not a minute later Allison came rushing in and dropped to her knees in front of Scott.
        "Stiles, go get me a first aid kit." Allison ordered. I followed Stiles out of the bathroom and he ran to get the first aid kit and ran back into the bathroom, I however did not. 
        "Alright, everyone back on the bus!" Finstock yelled. Shit. I took off towards the bathroom and pulled out Stiles.
        "We have to stall." I said to him.
        "What why?" he asked confused.
        "Finstock is telling everyone to get back on the bus." I explained. Stiles' eyes widened and he ran over to Finstock beginning his stalling. A few minutes later Allison came out of the bathroom with Scott. I ran over to them and helped carry Scott to the bus. When we got there Stiles helped him the rest of the way on the bus and Allison, Lydia, and I piled back into Allison's car.
