Chapter 7 - The Talk

"I think we need to have that talk now."
You were currently in Derek's car and he was driving you somewhere deep in the woods. The drive so far had been silent and awkward to say the least. After he told you that you needed to talk, he quickly shuffled you into his car and said you needed to 'see something'.
When he finally stopped the car, you peered out the window to see and decrepit, old, burnt house.
Derek walked around the car and opened your door to let you out. He then took your hand and pulled you up the steps of the house.
"This was my families house," he said quietly as he opened the door.
"What happened here?" You ask.
"A fire. Killed my whole family, except my sister and uncle. Although now my sister is gone too and my uncle never really recovered from the fire. He's been catatonic ever since and has burns all down the side of his face and body."
"How did this happen? Electrical fault? Arson?" You say very quietly, knowing that it is causing Derek a lot of pain even talking about it.
"A hunter used me to get to my family. Seduced me. Kate Argent. Although the Argents all deny it. There was humans in the house that day. Children even."
You can see the hurt and guilt in his eyes.
"It's not your fault Derek, you were what? Fifteen, sixteen?" You reassure him.
"Hang on a minute, Argent? As in Allison?" You ask.
"The very same. Allison doesn't know anything about us yet though as far as I know. But with Kate back in town, I would say she might find out soon enough."
"This Kate bitch is back in town?!" You exclaim.
"Yeah, she's the one who shot me."
"Shit. So you're a werewolf? Were you bitten?"
"No, I was born a wolf but Scott was bitten. Just before you moved here actually."
"So how does it work? Do you actually turn into a wolf?" You ask, curious.
"No, some wolves can, like my mother, she could. But most wolves are like this.."
He then calls his wolf forward and you see his eyes glow bright blue, hair grow on his cheek and fangs protrude from his mouth. You reach forward and lay your hand on his cheek.
"Your eyes. They look beautiful." You breathe out.
He then goes back to normal and you let your hand fall but he catches it and holds it in his.
Clearing your throat, you move on to a lighter subject... Ish.
"So, silver bullets?"
Derek just laughs and shakes his head.
"Myth."
"Wolfsbane?"
"Now that does work."
"Okay, mental note taken" you laugh.
Then the image of red eyes come back to you.
"Do different werewolves have different glowing eyes?" You ask.
"Yes why? Alphas have red, betas have yellow or blue."
"This may seem crazy but I swear I saw red eyes outside my window the other night and when I was walking home from our bowling date." You rush out.
"The Alpha must have known I was growing close to you, shit! You see them again, ring me straight away."
"Who's the Alpha?" You ask concerned.
"I don't know yet, he took the power from my sister Laura when he killed her."
"This is getting hella confusing!"
"I know and I'm sorry for bringing you into this. I should take you home. Especially if the Alpha has been stalking you."
You could see the worry in his eyes and that just made you all the more worried, not only for yourself but also for him.

Derek took you home and even walked you to the doorstep. Your parents were concerned with how late it was that you came back but they decided to let it go just this once.
Once in your room, you looked out the window to see if you could see the red eyes again but instead you saw Derek.
"What are you doing here?" You whisper - shouted down to him.
"Making sure the Alpha doesn't come near you." He replies.
"You don't have to stay out there in the cold. Come up here, just be quiet because of my parents." You suggest.
Derek quickly and quietly scaled your wall and pulls himself through the window.
You are already changed for bed in your favourite pyjamas.
"Come lie down with me, just till I fall asleep." you say climbing into bed, blushing at your forwardness.
Nevertheless Derek gets in beside you and wraps his arms around you.
"Thank you." You say, just as you're falling asleep. "For protecting me."
You feel a faint kiss on your forehead as your mind slips into darkness.
