forty three. trip to mexico

SHE THOUGHT PETERS CONCERN FOR SCOTT WAS RIDICULOUS considering that the two werewolves severely disliked one another with a passion, and Peter had tried to kill him; the person who made him become a werewolf in the first place. Even if it wasn't her fault, Paige still felt guilty for what happened to Scott and Kira.

She and Derek spend the majority of the night cleaning up the loft after what Kate had done to it, Paige ended up going to sleep not long before it completely finished; Derek didn't mind doing the rest himself since he could tell that she was about to fall asleep sweeping the glass off the floor by the window.

The next morning, Paige sent a text to Braeden regarding the situation with Scott and Kira, asking for some of the guns she used to bring to Mexico. The woman obviously agreed and brought them 30 minutes later, she couldn't stay since she had to run a few errands before joining them in the mission to rescue the two kidnapped teenagers.

"I still don't like relying on these things"Derek said, looking over the guns and the ammo laying on the table. "I'm sorry, honey, you don't have much of a choice"Paige informed, holding an empty gun in her hand. "But I get, you miss your power. I would too". "It's not about power,"Derek corrected shaking his head, "it's about being able to help. I just don't like feeling helpless"

"I was dead for 15 years,"Paige reminded as she secured the ammo in the gun, "do I look helpless?"She gave the bottom of the gun a hit before it let out a click as it secured into place. "That's a different context, you've had months to adjust and learn"Derek argued which made Paige grin a little. "Beside's you're a much better shot than me"

At the comment, Paige's smile faded away as Derek hung his head down. Her eyes widened by the slightest as she put the gun down gently onto the table. "You really think you wont be coming back?"She asked with a feeling of uneasiness piling in her stomach, but by the look on Derek's face, Paige managed to put a piece together. "You wont be coming back alive..."

Again, the Hale didn't answer her, but she knew. Paige let out a shakily breath before walking to his side at the other end of the table. "Derek, you know I'm not okay with that"She told him. Derek looked at the woman with a little mesmerized look on his face, he took his arms off the table and took a few steps forwards before giving a deep, passionate kiss to her lips.

It caught her by surprise, even though she saw him leaning in for it. His hand cupped her two cheeks and their foreheads rest on each others when they pulled away from one another. Derek let out a sigh as he closed his eyes for a quick moment. "I am,"He revealed, "if it saves Scott and Kira"

Just like that, Paige's face turned into a frown as their foreheads pulled apart. Derek replaced his hands from her cheeks to her hands, tangling his fingers with hers as he looked back to the table of weaponry. "To be honest, I don't know if this is enough firepower to take down one Beserker"Derek confessed.

"Not even close..."A voice said from the spiral stairs when he tittered as Paige let out an annoyed sigh. "I forgot he was here"She muttered to herself, watching Peter step down. "Killing a Beserker is next to impossible,"He informed, "it's not about the firepower, its breaking the animal spirit from the human"
