SEVEN - HERO

⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾ ⋆⁺₊⋆ SEVEN — HERO ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾ ⋆⁺₊⋆

I wake up alone and look at the clock at Derek's bed stand.

11 am

I groan as I get up, noticing that like always, I'm alone in his loft. I walk to the kitchen and take an apple from the fridge.

It was weird to be alone in someone else's house, sure we here fucking, but still, I wasn't sure how I felt about him.

I'm still on the couch as I hear the door opening.

"You're awake." Derek states and I frown.

"No shit." I look at him. "When did you wake up? I didn't hear you leave."

"It was early in the morning. We were trying to find who the Kamina is. Jackson passes the test." He explains to me as he sits on my side.

"Why is that a bad thing?" I ask noticing the tone of his voice.

"Because it means that whoever it is, will still try to kill us when it turns again." Derek looks at me making me look away. "We're testing Lydia next."

"You think it's her?"

"I don't know." He stares at the wall in front of us. "But if it is, I have to kill her." He reminds me and I swallow hard.

"Can we just, I don't, un-turn her?" I ask not wanting the sixteen-year-old to die.

"You know we can't." I rest my head on his shoulder as he wraps his arm around my waist making me get closer to him.

I was in the woods, trying to catch a rabbit. The human diet wouldn't be the best option when I don't a pack to have my back if the police catch me.

I jump on the animal, catching it and cringing on my mind for how much of an animal I must look. I grab the animal and broke its neck, not wanting it to suffer while I drain it dry.

I sink my teeth in the dead animal's neck and kill my hunger.

I never asked to become a werewolf, especially this.

I hear the flip phone I had found ringing and when I look at the caller ID, I notice that it's Stiles, making me roll my eyes at it.

"What?" I answer.

"Hello? Can you hear me?" He says on the other side of the line as I can barely hear him due to the phone's quality.

"Yes! I'm busy! What the hell do you want?!" I snap at him.

"I don't care! This is more important than whatever you're doing!" He screams at me and I get away from the rabbit.

"Unless you want me to rip your head off when I see you, I would advise you to let me keep doing what I'm doing." I curse at him noticing another rabbit.

"Derek's trying to kill Lydia, and all of us in the process, and Scott is not here! We're at Scott's!" Stiles panics I groan as I turn off the phone, cursing to myself and getting ready to play the hero, again.

For everyone's safety, I hunt one more rabbit before going to them. I enter through the back window and start hearing Erica's voice upstairs, so I follow it.

"Uhmm...this might make me sound like kind of a bitch, but I've always wondered what it feels like to steal someone's boyfriend. I bet it's a pretty sick rush of power. I think I might try it with Scott." She keeps saying as I get behind her without her not even noticing.

I grab the back of her hair and push her to me.

"Yeah, since you failed with mine." I kick her spine, making her fall on the floor. Since she was a werewolf she would be just fine.

She falls on the floor and I see Allison Argent in front of me, the daughter and granddaughter of the two men who ordered my pack's murder. My family's murdered.

"Alisson Argent," I say through clenched teeth as I get closer to her and she points her bow at me. "Maybe I should have let her kill you."

"Do you know what your family did to mine?" I ask her and by her face, she didn't. "They murdered them. I was the only one who got away. Twenty-two people."

"I didn't know about that." She steps back and I hear her heartbeat, knowing that she's telling the truth. "I'm sorry."

"I won't kill you... for now." I warn her. "Don't get on my bad side, Allison."

I turn around and I see Scott staring at me.

"You're late." I tell him as I walk downstairs.
