Panthera Onca ➳ Derek Hale

02. Shape Shifted

Jade's P.O.V

   It's a full moon tonight, and Derek's beta is in Jail. I overheard it from Stiles that he's going to help Derek. Probably since he didn't have any other reason. I had to keep an eye on Derek, so I told Stiles that I'll join them.

   "Scott, are you sure you don't want me to lock you?" I asked him as I finished getting ready.

   "No. I'm good. What about you?" Scott cares so much that it makes me feel safe. Even with Derek I never felt that safe. Scott's just a kid, but he can be a very good alpha. I'd be glad to be a part of his pack.

   "I'll be fine. I'm going with Stiles to get Isaac out of jail."

   "You know Derek will be there, right?" He raised an eyebrow. I nodded at him. I must help Stiles.

   "Yes, I know that, but I want to make sure that Derek doesn't go berserk and violent." I explained. He's using too much violence lately and I can't stand it.

   "Okay. J-just take care." He stuttered a little. I wonder why. I'm also curious to know how he'll go through this full moon.

   "I know. I will." I replied and waved to Scott before leaving his bedroom and his house. I walked to Stiles's house, trying to keep myself calm. The moon felt so nice on my skin... I couldn't explain that. It's like when vampires get the opportunity to walk when the sun's out. Full moon makes me feel the power inside. Warmth in my body. I didn't get to be outside during the full moon for a long time. I was kept at my house all the time. Sometimes I wanted to burst and shift but I kept stopping myself. It's hard to control when you almost don't shift at all, like me. When I got to Stiles's home, he waited next to his car.

   "Hey, ready to go?" He asked, and I nodded.

   "Yeah." I responded and got inside his car with him. He began driving to Derek's. He moved out of our house to a different place. I don't know where. We picked Derek on our way to the police station. The drive was awkward and not pleasent. I wanted it to be over. I couldn't bare with the amount of times Derek's eyes caught mine through the mirror. 

   "Okay, now the keys to every cell are in a password protected lock box in my father's office." Stiles informed us when we arrived at the station. "The problem is getting past the front desk." 

   "I'll distract her." Derek confidently commented. I burst into laughter and he ignored me. He was about to get out of the car when Stiles stopped him, putting his hand on his shoulder. Derek didn't seem fond of that.

   "Whoa, whoa, whoa- you? You're not going in there." Derek continued to glare at him, and Stiles finally noticed that. It's so amusing to see them together. "I'm taking my hand off." 

   "I was exonerated." 

   "You're still a person of interest." Derek's way over his head...

   "An innocent person." 

   "An- you? Yeah, right!" Derek stared at him, threatening him with his look. "Okay, fine. What's your plan?" 

   "To distract her." 

   "Uh huh. How? By punching her in the face?" I told you, he has a violent image.

   "Heh," Derek made a fake laugh, and I mentally rolled my eyes. I felt annoyed by him. "By talking to her." 

   "Of course, he must use his sex appeal." I sarcastically added.

   "It worked on you, didn't it?" He commented, making me want to punch him. I fought too hard to hold myself and not hit him. Prick.

   "Okay, alright. Give me a sample. What are you gonna open with?" Derek ignored him and kept looking at me. "Dead silence. That should work beautifully. Any other ideas?" 

   "I'm thinking about punching you in the face." He then looked back at Stiles.

   "That's enough." I warned him. He ignored me and went outside of the car. He walked inside the police station. Stiles and I got inside after him. 

   "Good evening, how can I help-" She looked up and noticed Derek. Well, you can't not respond to his beautiful face. "You?" The Deputy asked. I wanted to puke.

   "Hi." 

   "Hi." 

   "Um, I had a question. Um, sorry I'm a little- a little thrown. I wasn't really expecting someone-" Stiles and I rolled our eyes hearing how cheesy and flirty he's acting. I'll never admit to being jealous. Not at this at this whole act. We sneaked in. 

   "Like me?" 

   "Oh, I was gonna say so incredibly beautiful but, yeah, I guess that'd be the same thing." My blood was boiling. How dare he? I'm right here! Is he trying to get me angry on purpose? Stiles and I entered the office when we heard some noise and saw a fake cop. Hunter. Oh, shit, that's not good! He tried to kidnap Stiles. I got up to help Stiles, but tripped and fell back to the floor. Stiles turned the fire alarm on, and I noticed that Isaac escaped. Out of nowhere, Isaac jumped in and started to attack the hunter until he was knocked out. Isaac was about to attack Stiles and I. I wanted to stop him and save Stiles, but Derek was ahead of me. He growled at Isaac, and Isaac got scared. He shifted back.

   "How did you do that?" Stiles asked. 

   "I'm the alpha." I flashed my fangs out from anger. I couldn't bare him anymore! Derek signaled Isaac to follow him and then took me by my wrist. His grip was so strong that I couldn't get out of it, no matter how much forced I put in it. I used to be stronger than him, but now, since he's an alpha, we're equals.

   "No! Stiles, stop him!" I shouted. I was desperate for help. I didn't want to go with Derek. I wand to live with Scott. He reminds me of Max, and he takes care of me. "Leave me alone!" I screamed. Stiles wanted to stop him but Derek growled at him, warning him that he doesn't allow him to come near us. Derek took off with Isaac and I. My heart skipped a beat and I felt pain inside. Oh, God. I don't want to be with him now. "Do you think forcing me being with you will get us back together?"

   "Scott doesn't know anything about you, Jade. I'm the only one that can help you, no one else." I shook my head and continued to walk with him. I felt like crying. I can't believe he reached this low. Taking me by force with him? I never expected him to act that way towards me.

   "You're an ass." I muttered, holding my tears. I kept looking down. 

   "I'm trying to save you. I told you, I don't want Gerard to hurt you, what don't you understand about that?" I continued to walk quietly. I don't want to be a part of this. I just want him to leave me alone.

   We reached at where he was staying. It was some abandoned railway station. He put me in one of the railroad cars and tied me to a chair. Even animals are being treated better. 

   "Doesn't it hurt you inside that you're abusing me like this?" He stared deep into my eyes and then looked down. His eyes were showing me that he was in pain.

   "No. It's for your own good. Good night." This isn't the same Derek I grew up with. He lost his sanity.
