Chapter 13: Heartbreak

Ashley knew who the Darach was. It happened quickly but when she met up with Jennifer, it triggered something in Ashley. She started having these ominous dreams about sacrifices and Hel opening up. Last night, her dreams revealed Jennifer as the Darach.

Now, she was running the streets of Beacon Hills trying to find Derek and his friends. She had to warn them. Finally, she found Derek just about to leave the hospital.

She ran up to him, stopping him in his tracks.

"Ashley?" Derek asked, not expecting to see the girl.

"Derek," She gasped, trying to catch her breath. "Jennifer. She's the Darach."

"What?"

"I saw it," Ashley continued to explain, her breathing starting to come back to normal. "Ever since, I met her, I've been having these...these dreams about sacrifices and Hel and...last night, I saw it. She's the Darach."

Derek remained quiet for a few minutes before shaking his head in disbelief.

"Unbelievable." He said with a scoff. "You'd, you'd say anything to make her go away won't you?"

"Please Derek," She pleaded as she realized he didn't believe her. "I'm telling the truth. She's the Darach."

Ashley grabbed his arm but he pulled away.

"No!" Derek raised his hand gesturing for her to stay away. "This has got to stop, you're acting like a, like a...."

Derek hesitated about finishing his sentence.

"Like a what Derek?" Ashley asked suspiciously.

"You're acting like a...like a jealous bitch right now." Derek stated with disappointment. "Did you think you had a chance even with her gone? I thought I made it clear, but I'll say it again. I have no feelings for you whatsoever. Man, if I knew you were going to be like this, I wished we never met.

His words cut right through Ashley's heart.

Ashley pursed her lips and swallowed. She didn't quite know how to respond to what Derek said.

"That's how you see me?" She asked softly after some thought. "You wished we never met?"

"I-I," His expression softened as he saw the effect of his words on her. He had crossed a line. "Ash, I..."

Suddenly, Derek's phone started ringing and interrupted what he was going to say. He immediately picked it up and answered it out of habit.

"Yes? Lydia? At the school? Ok, I'm on my way."

Hanging up, he glanced at Ashley.

"Sorry, I have to go." He walked past her, their shoulders brushing as he passed her by.

Ashley gave a slight nod but otherwise, she stood frozen like a statue. She was still reeling in from the shock and heartbreak.

Neither knew it then but that was one of the last times they would see each other.
