Saving Peyton ( SP #1)

♤ Ch. 25

Peyton's P.O.V

Me and Dereck walked hand in hand towards the living room where Alex is waiting. Kayden told us he had to run to the store so he wouldn't be here, but wished us the best of luck.
Alex was sitting in the chair beside the fireplace, while Dereck and I took a seat on the couch across the room.

" In order to figure out why she isn't a vampire, i'm going to have to touch her. " Alex said.

Dereck let out a low growl and pulled me closer to him. If that was even possible. I looked over at Dereck his eyes had turned pitch black and the grip he had on my waist was starting to hurt. I reached up and laid a hand on his shoulder, before wrapping my arms around him. Dereck finally relaxed but still glared at Alex.

"No. " Dereck said.

" Dereck, its okay. As long as we get answers right? "

Dereck nodded his head and loosened his grip on me. I stood up and walked over to the chair Alex was sitting on. He reached out and grabbed my hand. I was wandering what the big deal was about Alex touching me  when my vision started blurring and I was getting dizzy. I looked over at Dereck and saw that he  was trying to hold himself back. The last thing I saw before I went unconscious was a sad  smile Dereck had sent me.

After a while I woke back up only this time I was back in Dereck's room. I could hear voices becoming louder from outside the door. Just as I sat up Dereck and Alex walked in. They continued their conversation, not knowing that I was awake.  

"So basically I could have killed Peyton?" Derek asked.  

Alex was  about to reply when he looked behind Dereck and saw that I was awake. 

"Sleeping beauty awakes!" Alex exclaimed. 

Dereck turned around so fast he could have probably gotten whiplash, that is if he was not a vampire.. I sent a small smile in his direction and he walked towards me. He bent down and kissed me, I instantly responded. Only when he realized that I needed to breathe he pulled away, that and Alex clearing his throat. I tried to keep down the blush that I knew was coming, but unfortunately I wasn't that lucky and still continued to blush. Alex laughed. 

"Great to see you awake Peyton, and my apologies it wasn't my intention to make you pass out. " Alex said. 

"Its cool. " I replied still embarrassed. 

He just sent a small nod in my direction and then walked to the side of the bed Dereck and I weren't sitting on. 

"Are you ready for answers?" Derek asked me. 

I nodded my head and Alex started to explain. 

" You were close to dying, but hadn't yet died. Derek gave you his blood and that helped heal the injuries enough so they weren't fatal anymore, but since you didn't have very much blood to began with you passed out shortly, therefore Dereck believed he changed you. In order to change a human the human has to fully die, you never did. If Dereck had not stopped when he did he would have killed you." Alex said and then looked at Dereck and continued, " Someday your going to have to turn her, your blood is permanently in her system and she will always be in danger until she's one of you." Alex finished and then got up and walked out of the room. 

Derek looked so upset with himself, I scooted over and leaned my head against his shoulder. 

"Its not your fault, okay?" I said.

"I could have killed you, Peyton and your always going to be in danger because of me." He replied, still not looking at me. 

" Then turn me." 

He turned so that he was facing me. 

"No." 

"It has to happen one day, why not today?" 

"You don't want this." He said and started to get up. 

" You mean you don't want this." I said and he froze. 

He turned and faced me. "I want that more than anything" 

" So why not?"  I asked. 

"Because I said so." He replied and then started walking towards the door. 

"If you won't turn me, ill have Kayden do it." 

Dereck sopped walking and looked back at me. I knew he was trying to figure out if I was serious or not. I guess he choose the latter because he started walking back towards me. 

"You really want this?" He asked me. 

"Yes. " I replied.

He came closer to me and then sat back down and pulled me closer to him. 

"Your going to be the death of me. When do you want me to do it?" He asked. 

"Why not now?" I said. 

"Its going to hurt. A lot." 

"I know." 

"Okay" 

He started kissing me and then I felt him start kissing my neck after a moment I felt his fangs on my neck and I knew what was going to happen next. He bit down, but his time it didn't hurt, it actually felt good. For the first time in a long time, everything was perfect.
