The Twin Gilbert

Chapter 40: Nogitsune Stiles

DEREK'S POV

No one has seen Izzy for 3 days. Everyone else left Mystic Falls, but I stayed because I got her into this mess. I walk over to the Gilbert house, to try and find Jeremy. I knock on the door, hesitantly. It opens and I see Elena.

"Go--"

"Is that all you ever say?" I growl, knowing she has said that to Izzy, multiple times. "Where is your brother?"

"Right here." I see Jeremy come up behind Elena and walk out the door. I follow him as he gets to the curb. "I think I might know where Izzy is." He says quietly. "But I can't tell you until I know others aren't listening." I motion to the car, and he hops in the drivers seat. I stare at him, "What? I can get you to her." I groan and get in.

He starts to drive towards the cemetery and parks the car. "First, Izzy used to come here and play in the trees. There is a tomb a little further into the tree line, and she should be around there. That was her favorite spot."

I get out of the car and realize something. I turn and ask, "And second?"

"Second, this is seriously an amazing car. Can I have it?" He jokes, but I ignore him and start walking to Izzy.

IZZY'S POV

I have been sitting in the same spot for 3 days. I haven't spoken or anything. I just want people to leave me alone. Hopefully, Derek and the rest of the pack left town by now. I catch a feint scent from the breeze and get ready to fight. I then recognize the scent and groan silently. I don't move and wait for my old alpha to find me.

"It's been a pain trying to find you." Derek says, walking over. I snort. "Are you ok?"

I look at him and roll my eyes. He then kneels down in front of my and makes me look at him. He shows me his blue eyes, and I look away.

"Why won't you look at me?" I still don't answer. "Izzy..."

"I almost killed you!" I scream at him. I then push myself up and run away from Derek, leaving him in the dust. I run until I hit the edge of the forrest. I then walk through the rows of graves and stop next to a certain few.

Loving Parents

I don't even look behind me when I feel a presence. "Go away, Derek." I say.

I then feel the presence leave, and when I make sure he is gone, I break down for the thousandth time in the past few days. I know that Derek hasn't really left, and is probably watching, but I really don't care.

I finally stop crying and make the decision to act like I am staying in my spot, but in reality, I go back to Beacon Hills and look over my friends. I don't want to confront them and face their pitying glances.

Back to Beacon Hills I go!

I'm walking through the woods back home. I breathe in the California air and smile. How I missed the world with out my worries of Elena. I then get a call from Stiles and pick up, I owed him that.

"Stiles, I really don't feel like--"

"Izzy?" I hear his voice over the line. He sounds broken and scared. I become more alert and look around.
