Love on a wolf moon ↠ Young Derek Hale

Six years ago

Seven year old Primrose McCall was running. Her brown hair streamed behind her like a flow of milk chocolate and her eyes wide with fear. She was running the fastest her legs could carry her as the rabid and out of control dog ran after her, white foam covering its mouth and a crazed look in its eyes. Tears fell down Prim's cheeks as she ran, the dog was gaining on her with every passing minute and would catch her soon if someone didn't save her. She let out a frightened cry as her foot became caught on something causing her to fall forward onto the concrete. Tears fell even more rapidly down her face as she turned her head to see the dog catching up to her.

Prim closed her eyes and waited for the sinking of the teeth into her flesh. Waited for the pain that was sure to come. Only it didn't, a thump followed by a pained whimper made her eyes shoot open. A boy two years older than her was running towards her with the now vicious dog snarling at his feet.
"Run!" He called out, his voice like a soothing lullaby compared to others Prim knew, even if he was yelling at her to run. She took this boys advice, quickly standing up she ran, she ran towards a tree. It would be to high for her to climb but she knew if the boy reached the tree first then he might be able to pull her up with him.

As almost as if reading Prim's mind, the black haired nine year old ran ahead of her and quickly climbed the tree before reaching a hand down to her.
"Grab on." He called out, and that's what she did. Prim's hand grabbed onto the boys and allowed him to pull her up with him onto the branch he was sitting on. She watched in fright as the dog jumped up and tried to bite their feet, letting out a frightened cry she pressed herself closer to the boy who had saved her life. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer to his warm body in a protective way. While Prim had her head buried in his shoulder the boy growled at the dog and his once brownish green eyes flashed gold for a second. The rabid dog stopped attacking them but still continued to growl and bark at the children.

After fifteen minutes of waiting, the dog was taken away and the kids where pulled out of the tree, but they refused to let go of each other. Prim because the boy who saved her made her feel safe and protected. The boy because he felt the urge to protect her from anything life might throw at his little friend. Sadly they where pulled away by their parents. But not without some introductions.
"My names Primrose McCall," Prim told the boy in front of her as her mother held her hand. Leading her away from the boy. The boy gave Prim a small charming smile and said.
"Derek Hale," they both smiled at each other before they where pulled away by their parents.

And from that day on Derek always looked out for his little friend and Prim would try and do the same for him. But what either of them didn't know yet was that they where destined to be together, because Prim was Derek Hale's other half, his everything. She is his soulmate.
