(Past)
Skyler and Derek stood in the apartment, training.
"Come here" Derek told Skyler as he walked over to a small table. Skyler walked over and stood on the other side, waiting for him to tell her what they were doing. Derek leaned over the table, putting his elbow on the table with his hand out, looking up at her. Skyler scoffed
"Absolutely not." She shook her head. Derek nodded his head "ur like 10 times stronger than me. How is that fair?" She objected
"Do u trust me?" Derek asked. Skyler gave him a look and sighed before leaned over the table, laying her elbow on it and grabbing onto Derek's hand. "Ready?" Derek asked and Skyler nodded annoyed at him. "I....2...3" derek counted and on three he punched skylers shoulder, making her groan in pain so he could slam her other arm to the ground. Skyler looked up at him with an annoyed expression and her mouth on the ground
"What the hell was that?!" She asked. Derek gave her a smug smile
"U wanna know how to win against someone like me? Going up against someone with an advantage isn't about playing by the rules....it's about bending the rules to win." Derek told her. Skyler nodded, smiling slightly, now understanding his motive.(Now)
Skyler dozed awake from her sleep. This was the second night she slept at Derek's house....in the same bed as him. They hadn't kissed or anything...just slept. She turned over, smelling blood. She didn't realize it before...but she did now. She sat up, slowly moving the blanket off of derek who slept on his back. She lifted up his white tank top to see a bullet wound. She sighed as Derek grabbed her hands making her jump slightly.
"What are u doing?" Derek asked awkwardly
"Why didn't u tell me u got shot?" Skyler asked
"It's fine" Derek assured her "i can feel it healing." He told her as he turned over, putting his back to her
"Derek, show me ur eyes" Skyler told him
"U just saw them" he spoke, still putting his back to her
"Ur real ones" Skyler stated. Derek huffed, turning over and looking at her with his human eyes. Skyler sighed "ok..come on. Up. Shirt off" she commanded making Derek stand up. She walked over and grabbed the first aid kit, setting it down on the table. Derek sighed, looking at the kit making skyler look over at him "we're gonna fix this ok? But for right now...u have to handle this like a human. With first aid" she told him. Derek just looked at her and she looked at him annoyed "come on! Take ur shirt off!" She raised her voice making him lift off his shirt. Skyler started to looked at the cut and Derek watched her. He gazed as she cleaned the cut and put a bandage on it. Skyler looked up at him after she placed the bandage on him and noticed him looking at her "what?" She asked and Derek shook his head, but still not taking his eyes off her. "It's just a graze but we need to make sure it doesn't get infected" Skyler told him. Derek nodded as he started to put on his shirt. "So that's everything? I mean I know the healing and the glowing eyes are gone but is everything?" She asked
"Yeah" Derek sighed
"Strength?"
"I can still win a fight" Derek stated confidently. Skyler smiled, placing her elbow on the table "no way...not with ur vampire strength" Derek scoffed
"I won't use it" Skyler laughed "only my human strength" she told him. Derek laughed slightly before nodding and taking her hand. The two looked into each others eyes for a moment, exchanging confident looks "u ready?" Skyler asked and he nodded. "1...2...3" skyler counted and when she said three, instead of arm restyling him, she punched Derek's arm with nothing but her human strength making him groan so she could take his arm down
"U cheated. That's cheating" he told her as he groaned in pain.
"I won." Skyler corrected "when ur a human facing a supernatural u need to bend the rules a little bit. That's what u taught me. Remember how u taught me how to fight?" She asked and Derek nodded his head "now it's my turn to return the favor. I'm gonna teach u what u taught me...except now the roles are reversed"
"How is that supposed to work? If I know everything u know?" Derek asked
"Because when u taught me, u were supernatural and I was a human...now I'm supernatural and ur human. It's different. I'm teaching u the same things u taught me except how to do it the human way. Im gonna teach u how to bend." She told him, smiling at him.(Past)
"How are u supposed to teach me how to protect myself when u have an advantage?" Skyler asked Derek as they walked around the abandoned rail road that he used to live in
"Im gonna teach u everything I know...but the weapon is that you'll know a wearwolfs weaknesses" Derek answered
"Ur really gonna tell me all of the ways I can kill u?" Skyler scoffed
"Yep" Derek answered
"That's brave" Skyler laughed. Derek smiled
"Who knows what's gonna come for u. U need to know how to beat someone like me"
"Ok so how do I beat someone with super strength, super hearing and healing abilities?" Skyler asked
"The head and the heart are ur best options" Derek told her, grabbing a knife and placing it in her hand
"U want me to kill them?" Skyler asked
"That's how u protect urself. If u go for anywhere else, they'll heal and kill u. So u have to kill them first" Derek told her. Skyler looked down at the knife with a worried face
"No...no I can't kill anyone" Skyler shook her head "I'll fight em off till I can get away but i won't kill anyone" she told him sternly. Derek sighed
"Then there's a good chance you'll die" he grabbed her hand that held the blade, putting the tip of the blade right where his heart was, turning it slightly to get past his chest "right here." He told her, holding her hand in the place "that's ur best way to the heart. If u can get enough force u don't have the get the exact placement but u wanna hit the heart...or" he paused, moving her hand and turning the ballade to ready horizontally against his neck "the neck. Slit the throat or stab the neck. Quickest and easiest way for a human to kill one of us." He told her. Skyler pulled her hand and the knife away, looking down at it in her hands. Derek sighed, taking the blade from her "u asked me to teach u how to protect yourself." He turned and walked away slightly before turning back to her and setting the knife down on a table "this is how I'm gonna do it. Now r u wasting my time or can we keep going?" Skyler sighed, hating her life and how she needed to know how to protect herself now. She looked down at her hands before looking back up and nodding her head, telling him she wanted to keep going.(Now)
Skyler grabbed a bag and walked it back to the main area.
"I'm guessing this is why Chris was here yesterday?" Derek figured
"Yep" Skyler stated "I asked him to give me a few things for u." She pulled out a pistol and set it down on the table next to them "this is a sig sauer P226 9mm."
"I don't like guns" Derek told her
"That's because u never learned to use one" Skyler smiled.
"Or because I've been shot....repeatedly"
"Ya...I've seen it" Skyler scoffed "but you'll like this one." She picked it up and pulled the clip out "the legal clip size in California is 10. U always want to remember how many shots u fire. Running out of bullets can get u killed. It also makes u look stupid" she told him before putting the clip back into the gun. She grabbed his hand and put the gun in it. "But using a gun isn't just about learning how to point and shoot"
"Why's that?" Derek asked
"Because an average person can move 21 feet in one point five seconds. If they have a knife, they can gut u before u can pull and fire, so with a gun...u need distance" Skyler moved over and stood not too far from him
"Where'd u learn this stuff?" Derek asked
"My dad took me to a shooting range when I was a kid and when he was out of the picture, stilinski did. I was a curious child so stilinski taught me a lot about guns. Both taught me how to use and avoid them...and Chris gave the details about that one" she told him.
(Don't let me go-RAIGN-playing)
"So go on. Pull the gun on Me" she told him. Derek laughed, smiling as he lifted the gun up and pointed it at her. Skyler immediately grabbed the gun from his hand
"Ow" Derek stated, pointing at her as she pulled it away "so...yeah" he played it cool. Skyler smiled, holding the gun out to him
"U wanna try again?"
"Mmhm" Derek hummed as he took the gun.
"But Derek" skyler spoke making derek look up at her
"Hm?" He asked. Sky smiled
"Make sure u aim for the head or the heart" she told him. Derek chuckled slightly, nodding his head. He looked down, clearing his throat before holding it up again and Skyler taking it from him instantly again. Derek cleared his throat again
"one more time" he told her
"I can do this all day" Skyler smiled. Derek smiled at her, nodding sarcastically. The two froze, looking into eachothers eyes for a moment. Derek gave into the temptation and grabbed skylers face, kissing her passionately. Placing on of his hands on her face. Skyler placed her hands on his waist, letting it happen until she pulled away at the feeling of the gun pressed to her stomach "u cheated" Skyler whispered.
"Learning to bend" Derek corrected, smiling slightly. Skyler looked down at the gun, grabbing Derek's hand that held it
"U forgot" she whispered, moving his hand and making him press the gun over her heart "the head or the heart" she whispered. Derek looked down at the gun he had pressed to her heart for a moment before looking at her. Skyler looked at him for a moment smiling, biting her bottom lip. She sighed, caving as she the gun from his hands and throwing it across the room. Derek furrowed his brows at her for a second until she grabbed his shirt, pulling him into her lips. Derek lifted her up. Skyler wrapped her legs around his waist. Derek moved over to the stable, pushing everything off and setting her down. The two parted lips as they pulled their shirts off before smashing into eachothers lips again like their lives depended on it.
