NIGHTMARES, DEREK HALE

🍒010; If Only

                          †☯☯†☯†☯☯†

A vehicle stroked across the dark and wet roads of Beacon Hills, strong and rough hands handled the steering wheel, hands coloured by the darkness of the night.

Theo smirks, glancing at the ginger haired girl who had her arms crossed over her chest, strands of her hair blocking one of her eyes that were just blankly staring ahead, her wearing a warm piece of clothing instead.

It was only just a game, a game to get close to everyone, just to take everything away, he knew better than to distracted by mindless emotions, he could get what he want and go on about whatever he wanted to do, but there was something–––something that bothered the Chimera.

He knew that being Maia's friend didn't really mean anything, but he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"What's wrong with you?" Maia asks monotonously.

Theo snapped back, looking at her in confusion. "There's nothing wrong with me."

"I can smell the guilt, is it because of what you told Scott that i've been doing?" Maia asks, looking at him.

Theo stares at her in shock but in a flash his expression changed to one of false confusion. "What?"

Maia scoffs, groaning softly. "What, you thought i was going to be mad?"

"I have dealt with Scott's little tantrum before, it's not a big deal to me." Maia calmly says. "I don't really care."

Maia saw they had stopped by his house and looked at the house, then at Theo in confusion. "Why are we, at your house?" She slowly asks.

"I want to talk to you, i'm coming back, i just need to do something but i really need to talk to you, alone..." He trails off with a hidden motive.

"Then, why can't you talk to me now?" Maia confusingly asks.

Theo tried his best not to be frustrated by the bubbly ginger haired questions. "I...Scott wants to talk to me, you want to see Scott?"

Maia scoffs. "No, i'd rather be near him, not now, not never."

"Right." Theo nods softly.

Maia confusingly smiles at Theo, seeing him starting to laugh randomly. "What's... what's so funny?"

"I see why you chose to be Stiles' friend first, you're kind of like him in a way." Theo says.

"I am?" Maia curiously asks.

"Mhm."

"I really am sorry, Maia." Theo apologized, his eyes looking into hers.

Maia confusingly looks at Theo, unaware of what he's apologizing for.

"What is that?"

Liam, at the animal clinic with Melissa, chose not to leave Hayden's side, while Scott was nearby, the McCall then saw Theo coming into the clinic in a hurry.

Scott frowns at Theo, a familiar scent engulfing his senses as his focus stayed on Theo.

"It's called chelation therapy, it removes heavy metals from the blood, but, the problem is...it can injure the kidneys and since Hayden only has one to begin with..." Melissa had an injection in her hands, sticking it into Hayden.

Hayden groans in pain as she felt the prickle of the needle, Liam's eyes glaring at Melissa, grabbing onto her wrist. "You're hurting her!"

Melissa looks at him sternly but seemed to be in pain. "And, you're hurting me."
