Love Me ~ Derek Hale

25

I immediately rushed over to the clinic, not even bothering to change my clothes. Deaton was a combination of demanding and calm on the phone. I didn't know if that meant kind of bad or really bad. I bust through the door and ran to the procedure room.

There he was, my brother lying wounded on the table while Deaton plucked at him with tweezers. "What the hell happened?" I asked, rushing to my brother's side and holding his hand.

"There was an attack at the Hale house, and Scott was shot," Deaton said calmly while tweezing out the bullet from Scott. "He was shot, why is he here? I thought you were just a vet?"

I was cut off by Scott gasping for breath. He tried sitting up a little bit while coughing uncontrollably. "Oh, thank god," I sighed in relief. "I wouldn't get up just yet," Deaton suggested.

Scott looked around confused and panicked, but seemed to ease when he saw me holding his hand. "Where are we?" he asked. "At the clinic, you're okay. I'm not going anywhere, okay?" He nodded and rested his head back on the table.

"I gave you something that should speed up the healing process," Deaton stated. "But you're a vet," Scott said reinforcing my previous statement. "Thats very true, and 90% of the time I'm mostly treating cats and dogs."

"Mostly?" I asked raising an eyebrow. "Mostly."

After around an hour of being by Scotts side waiting for him to wake up, I finally saw him jolt open his eyes. He jumped up and off the table. "Woah, take it easy," I said as he struggled to stand up.

I put my arm under his supporting his weight. "Welcome to the land of the conscious,"Deaton spoke as he walked over to Scott. "You doing okay?" Scott nodded but I could tell he was still a little weak. "Maybe you should sit down," I suggested. Before he could move, the bell to the front door rang.

We all turned our heads to look, and as Deaton was about to walk out of the room Scott grabbed his arm. He gave Deaton a worried look, and Deaton exchanged a reassuring one back.

He then walked out of the room and I went to follow him to see who it was but Scott grabbed me. I went to speak, but he wrapped his hand around my mouth silencing me.

A few minutes go by and I hear something smash in the other room. "What the hell?" I whispered. Immediately following I heard the front door open again, and Deaton walked back into the room. "He's gone," he stated but Scott seemed panicked. "Come on Mia, we have to go," Scott said.

"Why?" I asked confused at the sudden panic when Deaton just said Peter was gone. "He whispered something to me, and it was about Allison. He came here to find Derek," Scott said. "Wait, what do you mean find Derek? Since when was he lost?" I questioned.

"I wasn't the only one being attacked. I'm pretty sure it was the Argents, and they attacked Derek and I," Scott stated. "I-i don't know what happened to Derek, but obviously the Argents have him or something,."

They have Derek...

"Come on then, let's call Stiles to meet us at the house. We need to find Derek before he does."

The next day was miserable. After meeting with Stiles last night we got nowhere. No plan, nothing to find Derek. We just filled him in on the events and how Allison is in danger. Now I have to walk around school and hear about how everyone's excited for the dance, the one in which I will not be attending.

"Mia!" Scott called out behind me. I turned and gave a half smile, "Hey, whats up?"

"You going to the dance tonight?" he asked and I shook my head laughing, "Hell no." Scott didn't laugh back, he just remained serious. "Sorry, let me rephrase. You're going to the dance tonight." I raised my eyebrows, "Excuse me?"

"Coach isn't letting me go, and I need her to have all the protection possible tonight. If Peter is gonna strike, I'm sure tonight would be it," Scott explained. I sighed knowing he was right. "Ugh, but I don't even have a dress," I complained as we continued walking.

Scott scrambled in his pocket and pulled out a card. "Here, go buy yourself one after school," he said handing me the card.

"Wow," I said shocked. "You must mean business when you give me your card," I joked and he laughed a little. "Don't go too crazy, but you deserve it," he said and I smiled.

"So you're seriously not coming tonight, and making me go?"

"I didn't say I wasn't going...I said coach told me not to go..." Scott smirked.

After school, I headed to the mall to buy a dress since I obviously wasn't getting out of going to this dance. My eyes laid on a section for my age, and I went over and started searching through dresses. I was becoming torn between a red bodycon and a pink flowy dress with lace. I felt the red was more my style but the pink was to die for.

I held them both up to me as I faced the mirror. I switched repeatedly through the two critiquing each one in my head.

"That one doesn't suit you," someone spoke behind me. I recognized the voice but I couldn't remember where I recognized it from until it hit me. I turned around and was face to face with Peter.

"What do you want?" I asked harshly. "Ouch...that's no way to talk to your uncle-in-law is it?"

I laughed and turned back around examining the dresses again. "It's not like were getting married," I whispered trying not to let the thought of Derek in my head. There was still no word on his whereabouts and before that, I hadn't talked to him since Peter attacked me.

There was a moment of silence and I looked at him in the mirror just staring at me. I sighed, "I'm sorry, can I help you?"

"You're not afraid of me," Peter more stated instead of asking. I ignored him, he did scare me. The alpha in him scared me but the person just annoyed me. "Well, you should be."

"And whys that?" I asked. "Almost one year ago, there was a car accident," he started. I slowly turned around to face him. "Four teens crashed, and only one survived.....police ruled it an accident, but the real story is that the teens were drinking, the driver saw something in the road and swerved, isn't that right?"

My eyes started watering as he told this story.

My story.

"Ugh turn up the music, I love this song," Emily spoke from the back. I turned the dial for the music as OMG by Usher started blasting throughout the car. "Yesss!" Emily yelled from the back making me laugh. I continued driving and singing while putting the peddle on the floor.

"oh, oh, oh."

"OH MY GOD!" Matt yelled.

Everything happened in slow motion. There was something standing in the middle of the road. It all happened so fast that the object was blurry, but I could make out the shape of the animal. It appeared to be a wolf. I swerved and my car spun. I closed my eyes out of fear and heard a crash.

Everything went black.

"Well, I won't keep you much longer," Peter said bringing me out of my trance. "You should get the red dress, it suits you more. I also know my nephew would go crazy for it," He said eyeing my body up and down before walking off.
