"It was like a dream." Paige shuddered involuntarily as she recounted what had happened to her. "The days melted into one another. You couldn't get a sense of time or of what's real."
Derek handed her a mug of hot tea. He sat beside her and stroked her back to comfort her. It took a few years but she was finally willing to share what had happened to her in Hel. Derek knew he had to be patient with her as she told her story.
"As the days passed, my memories, my sense of self, began to fade away. I couldn't remember who I was or what had happened. All I knew was the job."
She took a sip before continuing.
"The job was to do whatever he said. To guard. To punish. To hunt down. Whatever he said, I obeyed. Without question, I obeyed. It was my sole purpose."
Before she realized it, the tears were already streaming down her face. The memory she had been suppressing over the years were overwhelming her.
Derek took the cup from her and placed it on the table. Then he embraced her protectively, allowing her to cry into his shoulders.

Peter watched the young couple from the outside.
He clenched his fist as feelings of anger welled up within him.
It had been years since Ashley disappeared and he had left Beacon Hills. He had wandered the world aimlessly, often lashing out at everyone and everything because of the agony he felt inside. He searched for things that would numb the pain. He turned to alcohol and women, but nothing could heal the wound in his heart.
Now he was back in his hometown and discovered the rest of the pack had moved on from Ashley.
It angered him immensely. How dare they forget her? How dare they move on without her?
Peter was especially furious at Derek.
Derek who had loved Ashley. He had moved on and found someone, albeit it was Paige, his first love.
Watching the sweet couple whispering sweet nothings to one another drove him mad.
They needed to hurt like he was hurting.
Peter's eyes grew cold with a glint of madness. He made a promise to himself.
He was going to make Derek's life a living a hell. He was going to suffer as much as Peter was suffering.
