"They were there for two days. Waiting, hiding. That's what we're taught to do when the hunters find us. Hide and heal" Cora finishes telling us a story of Derek and Peter when they were younger.

"Okay, so is two days standard then? Or are we thinking Derek's on, like, some extended getaway?" Stiles asks sarcastically.

"Why do you care?" Cora snaps at him and I roll my eyes, sitting down on the table.

"Why do I care? Let's see, because over the last few weeks, my best friend's tried to kill himself, his boss nearly got ritually sacrificed, a girl that I've known since I was three was ritually sacrificed. Boyd was killed by Alphas. You want me to keep going? Cause I can, all right? For, like, an hour!" Stiles rants.

"You think Derek can do anything about that?" Cora asks.

"Well, since he's the one everyone seems to be after, it's more like he should do something about it. Yeah" Stiles retorts.

"I don't know. There's something different about him now. He wasn't like this when I knew him" Cora explains.

"What was he like?" I ask curiously.

"A lot like Scott, actually" I hear Peter answer and I turn my head to see him walking down the stairs "A lot like most teenagers. Unbearably romantic, profoundly narcissistic...Tolerable really only to other teenagers"

"And so what happened? What changed him?" Stiles asks.

"Well, the thing that changes a lot of young men. A girl" Peter explains and I frown.

poor Derbear

"You're telling me some girl broke his little heart? That's why Derek is the way he is?" Stiles scoffs and I grab the nearest thing to me which happened to be a pencil, lobbing it at his head.

"I'm gonna break your legs" I threaten him and he glares at me, rubbing the spot on his head that the pencil hit.

"Do you remember Derek before he was an Alpha had blue eyes?" Peter asks Cora before looking at Stiles and I "Do you know why some wolves have blue eyes?"

Stiles shakes his head no and I shrug, knowing a little about the subject.

"I just always thought it was, like, a genetic thing" Stiles replies.

"If you want to know what changed Derek, you need to know what changed the colour of his eyes"

Peter goes on to tell us about the girl that broke young Derek's poor heart and how the pair first met. Her name was Paige. She had a sassy attitude and she played the cello. As Peter talks about the girl, I find myself smiling and knowing that if she were still around, we'd be great friends. The way Peter describes young Derek as cocky and narcissistic but completely smitten with Paige makes me almost sad that the Hale man lost this side of him due to the teenage heartbreak.

"Okay, so if Derek was a sophomore back then, how old was he?" Stiles asks.

"How old were you?" I add, furrowing my brows at Peter "How old are you now?"
