Life changes
Danny walked into the loft that night with one purpose and one purpose only.
"I'm leaving," she announced. She didn't mean for it to come tumbling off of her tongue and out of her mouth like that with the entirety of both Scott McCall and Stiles Stilinski watching her with almost popped eyes.
"See, dude," Stiles scolded from his spot on the couch, looking at Scott. "Regression to the means, I told you this would happen."
"But we just went through a whole lot of bad," Scott whined, "it was supposed to get better now."
Danny rolled her eyes at the two and Derek ignored them altogether as he stood up from his chair and calmly walked over to her. Over the time the two had known each other they went from instant enemies to an unbreakable family bond. He was like a big brother to her and she was like a little sister to him.
"Why?" he asked when he reached her. "What happened?"
"Nothing," she shook her head. "I just. . ."
Two months ago exactly was when her dad and brother left her in Beacon Hills without so much as a word just a simple note saying, 'You should stay here, you'll be better off with your own kind.' that was it. No, 'I love you' or anything, and just like that she was abandoned and written off from her own family.
But today was the day she decided to get a fresh start, have a clean slate. She'd leave hunting behind and take a break from everything and anything that went bump in the night and cue where she was now, talking to the only family that would never abandon her.
"You can't leave," Scott interrupted her. "We need you, you're our best friend."
"Yeah," Stiles nodded, "whatever Sourwolf or Jackass did to upset you, I can fix it."
Danny smiled fondly at the two, but that didn't mean she changed her mind in the slightest. "Derek never upsets me," she said, crossing her arms. "And Jackson's in London, how can you even blame him?"
Stiles scoffed. "It's easy, believe me."
"And you don't need me right now," she added in a matter of factly tone. "Everything's finally settling down and everyone's more or less happy."
"Then what is it?" Scott asked gently.
She dropped her arms back to her sides and gave them each a comforting smile. "I was thinking about this for a while. I'm going to go spend some time with my Uncle Charlie, he lives in Washington, a town called Forks."
Scott frowned at that but Stiles just looked confused. "There's a town named after a utensil?"
Danny nodded. "Yep, and it was also my childhood home for an entire year when I ran away from John."
