Distance [Derek Hale]

Chapter Fifteen

They were at Tucker's garage. Stiles, when he'd gone to get his car fixed courtesy of Erica, had been paralysed and then he'd watched his jeep be lowered onto a man and that man died. Both Margo and Scott had only just come from the vets and Margo was stood with her arms crossed to block out the cold whilst waiting for Stiles to approach them.

"You okay?" They both asked immediately as Stiles made it over to them.

Stiles nodded not looking as bothered as she thought he should have been considering he just witnessed someone's death, "Yeah. You were right. It's not like you. I mean, its eyes were almost, like... reptilian. But there was something about them," he said and Margo frowned.

"What do you mean?" Scott asked.

"Something about what?" Margo added on.

"You know when you see, like, a friend in a Halloween mask, but all you can see are their eyes? And you feel like you know 'em, but you just can't figure out who it is?" Stiles asked, she didn't know that feeling but somehow she got it when she was looking at Derek. She'd seen a whole new side of him that she couldn't comprehend and she felt like it just wasn't him.

"Are you saying you know who it is?" Scott asked.

"No... But I think it knew me."

"Wonderful," Margo muttered before she gestured to the car, "come on. I want to have dinner before midnight," she pointed on and both Stiles and Scott followed her back to her car.

The beat of trash club music echoed throughout the room. It had been playing for so long and by now it was getting on everyone's nerves but they found they didn't have anything else to do. Isaac looked up his lips contorting into that of anger and strength before he ran forward. He flipped over a piece of furniture, jumping over another before he leapt up onto a beam swinging his claws out to Derek. Derek reached out grabbing onto his chest and slamming him down to the floor with ease.

This happened several times.

On the last time, the moment Isaac got slammed to the floor, Erica leapt from above but just like with Isaac Derek slammed her to the floor as well.

Sighing, he turned to look at the three of them, "Does anyone wanna try not being completely predictable?" He asked turning around for a second. In that second, Erica leapt up and jumped him forcing her lips to his. It took a couple of seconds before he finally managed to push her down wiping the kiss away with his hand, "that's the last time you do that."

"Why?" She spat, "because I'm a Beta?" He wanted to roll his eyes at her attitude but a smirk began to form on her face, "or it is it because of the Stilinski girl?"

Derek glanced to her a second. Was it because of Margo? Not wanting to show his own weaknesses he shook his head, "no...because I have someone else in mind for you," he admitted and Erica narrowed her eyes whilst Isaac huffed.

"Are we done? I got about a hundred bones that need a few hours to heal," he said.

"Come here..." Derek ordered and Isaac did as told. At that instant, Derek slammed him back and twisted his arm snapping it in half, "a hundred and one. You think I'm teaching you to fight? Huh? Look at me! I'm teaching you how to survive!" He yelled before releasing the boy and pushing himself up.

"If they wanted us dead, why aren't they coming for us now? What are they waiting for?" Isaac asked.

"I don't know. But, they're planning something. And you especially know that's not our only problem. Whatever that thing is that killed Isaac's father, I think it killed someone else last night. Until I find out what that is, you all need to learn everything that I know... As fast as I can teach you." With that, he left.
