The Unwanted Mikaelson

Chapter 21

My eyes widened in horror as I read the letter. I immediately started to internally panic because as much as Derek's words hurt it wasn't his fault he was poisoned and he is still my mate, I love him no matter what. I grabbed a map of Beacon Hills out and started lighting candles to do a tracking spell. "Phasmatos Tribum Nas Ex Veras, Sequita Saguines, Ementas Asten Mihan Ega Petous" I chanted as I cut my palm to get as much blood as I could before my palm healed up. It was a few seconds before the blood started moving over to the side of the map where the Hale house was. 

"Derek!" I yelled out and used my vampire hearing to try and hear something but I heard nothing. I looked all around the property until I caught the tiniest hint of the scent that was on the letter. I used my enhanced smell to follow the scent. The scent took me through the Hale house and down to a basement but I looked around and didn't see Derek. "Derek!" I yelled out once more but once again, I heard nothing. I scanned the room once more and found an inconsistency in the wall. With Derek's passion for remodeling there is no way he would've left that uneven, it would drive him nuts until he would fix it. 

I walked closer to the wall and saw a small amount of light coming through the inconsistency so I used my vampire strength to punch the wall only to reveal that the wall was a secret door disguiser. I got through the door and started jogging down the hallway while calling out for Derek until I reached the end of the hallway. I felt the wall for another hidden door which I was right about and slid the door to the side only to see that Derek was tied up to a fence, shirtless. "Derek!" I gaped in shock as his appearance was horrifying.

He had burns all over his body which were clearly from electricity and he also had cut from knives as well as other weapons. "No. Angel, don't! The fence is electric, you'll hurt yourself." Derek said, barely conscious. "Derek, I need to. I'm not leaving you here." I said as I started untying Derek from the fence, his entire body weight leaning on me when he fell from the height he was at, too weak to carry himself. "Angel, you need to go and get out of here before they come back. I can handle this." Derek said. "Derek, you can't even stand up. I'm not leaving you here to die even if you don't want me as your mate." I said. 

"What are you talking about, Angel? Of course I want you to be my mate. Why wouldn't I? You're the love of my life. My one and only." Derek said, confused. "But you said-" I started. "Awww, look at this, you found him all on your own." said a voice as a blonde haired woman came through the door with someone behind her that looked exactly like Derek. "What the hell?" I said utterly confused. "So powerful, yet so stupid." smirked the blonde woman. "Shapeshifter." Derek said weakly as he looked at the shapeshifter who was replicating Derek's appearance.

When Derek said that, everything clicked into place. It wasn't Derek who said those things to me, it was the shapeshifter that was trying to get us to split. But why would the shapeshifter want us to split if they aready had Derek and wanted Klaus. Why would they believe that I would come back for Derek if he said those things. I was snapped out of my thoughts when the shapeshifter came running at me. I gently set Derek down before I jumped at the shapeshifter, shifting into my wolf midair. Landing on the shapeshifter, I bit down on it's neck. It'll be less than a few hours before the shifter dies from werewolf venom. 

As I bit the Shapeshifter, the blonde lady grabbed out a gun, shooting me. The bullet entered my leg, turning the veins black for a second before it healed itself. "Impossible." the blonde lady whispered out in shock before she turned, trying to make her way out asap. I wasn't just about to let this bitch go, not after what she did to me and especially not after what she did to Derek because it's clear it was her and the shifter that was torturing Derek. I pounced on the blonde lady in my wolf form, biting her leg so she'd have an even longer more painful death before  shifted back into my human form and put spell on both her and the shifter.
