*Derek

Derek shook his head slightly, "What no of course not" he said and looked at the sheriff for a moment. "But I think we both know that the thing killing these people isn't human" he said and sighed softly. "He came to me for help and things didn't go well"

Sheriff Stillinski glared at Derek for a moment before letting his gaze soften. "Right" he said and walked over to one of the chairs and sat down, with an exhausted huff. He ran his hands through his hair. "Could have just told him to stay out of it" he said.

"Yeah cause that would have totally worked" Derek said and sat down next to him. "He would have gone after it by himself if I did that" he said and shook his head slightly. He turned his head and looked over at Mr. Stilinski "He's not going t be involved anymore though. I promise" he said.

Stilinski nodded slightly, knowing that Derek was right. His son would have just went out on his own if Derek turned him away. Though he wasn't really sure which one would have been a better option. He looked at Derek when he said his son wouldn't be involved anymore, "Good, I hope you can keep that promise" he said and leaned back in the seat, looking very exhausted.

Derek watched the Sheriff for a moment before turning away with a sigh. He stared at the floor not sure what to say to that. "I will" he said before standing up and walking out of the waiting room. He went outside, needing so fresh air, needed to clear his mind. He walked through the parking lot over to the Jeep, because he didn't know where else to go. The nurse asked him to move it when he got out of the bathroom, so that's what he did. He leaned against the driver's side door and looked down at the keys in his hands. He frowned as he noticed they had blood all over them as well, he grumbled under his breath before shoving them into his pockets and walking away from the Jeep. He couldn't stand being near the thing, the stench of Stiles' just rolled off of it.

Derek walked around aimlessly before heading back to the waiting room. He walked into the hospital and saw the Sheriff talking to a doctor. He immediately focused his hearing to listen in on what they were saying.

"Don't worry Mr. Stilinski your son's going to be just fine. He has a minor concussion, some bruised ribs, along with some other bruising and a few lacerations" the doctor said before going a bit more into detail about what was happening. "We stitched him up, and gave him some morphine to dull the pain. He's asleep now but you can go in and see him"

Sheriff Stilinski nodded slightly, "Thank you doctor" he said and shook the man's hand before hurrying down the hallway to his son's room.

Derek heard him walked over to the bed and sit down, before he unfocused his hearing. He let out a sigh of relief, a weight seemingly lifted off his shoulders when he heard that Stiles was going to be okay. He slowly walked back over to the waiting room and sat down, didn't really know what he was still doing here, but he couldn't get himself to leave, so he just stayed. Though he really didn't have to since the human was being released tomorrow anyway.
