Panthera Onca ➳ Derek Hale

11. Alpha Pact

Derek's P.O.V

   I felt someone punching and hitting me.

   "Derek?" Stiles's voice echoed in my ears. He was the one that punched me. "Derek, come on!" He slapped my face and he was about to punch me again when I stopped him. I was still laying in the elevator, but I looked around. Jennifer isn't here. Shit. This is not good. I must go and help Jade and Cora.

   "Where is she?" I asked.

   "Jennifer? Gone with Scott's mom."

   "She took her?"

   "Yeah, and if that's not enough of a kick to the balls, Scott left with Deucalion, okay? So we gotta get you out of here. The police are coming right now, and we gotta get you the hell out of here." Stiles rushed me. This isn't good for us. I need Jade to aid me. I need her to guide me. This is too much to bare.

   "Whoa. What about Jade and Cora?" I asked. He told me that they're with Isaac and Peter, and continued to rush me out of the hospital. Annoyed, I did as he said and quickly got to the parking lot, took my car, and drove to Isaac. We were meeting halfway.

   "Where's Scott and Stiles?" Allison asked me as I got outside my car. I went to the back of their car and grabbed Jade, placing her in the backseat of my car, then went to grab Cora and put her in the back of my car.

   "Stiles is still at the hospital. He's gonna hold off the cops for us. We have to go right now." I informed them as I finished placing Jade and Cora in my car.

   "What about Scott and Melissa?" Chris asked.

   "Jennifer took Melissa." I stated and their face expression changed. They were shocked. Of course they are. It doesn't feel good. Nothing feels good right now. We're not in control of this situation.

   "What about Scott?" Allison asked, and I stayed quiet. I know I should tell... We need to go find him, but not by an impulsive decision. We need to be prepared against the alphas. "Derek, where's Scott?" I sighed and told them everything. We need to change the odds in our favor.

   I looked at Jade and Cora fighting for their lives. They were both coughing and puking black ooze. I can't see this anymore, but I can't not look at it. It aches me so much to see them in this situation and it's all my fault for not looking up for them enough.

   "They're dying, aren't they?" Isaac asked. Isaac had reached a phase where he's more than unhappy with me. With everything that hapened with Boyd, and now this...

   "I don't know." I replied. I'm being honest.

   "So what are you gonna do?"

   "I don't know."

   "Want to figure something out?" He snapped. I could feel the rage he held towards me. He wasn't happy with me at all. "Because while Scott and Stiles were out there trying to help people from being killed, you were in here, rolling around the sheets with Jade, when she didn't know the truth about you and Jennifer and how you tried to fool everyone with your relations with her. Do you get how many people Jennifer's killed? Erica and Boyd are dead, Jade and Cora are dying, and you are doing nothing! Why'd you do this to us, Derek? Was it all about the power? Were you bored?" He stepped closer to me. "Were you lonely?" He succeeded in making me feel bad. As if I wasn't feeling like shit before. I know I'm doing everything wrong.

   "Maybe." I responded. "I told Cora I wouldn't leave. I told Jade I'll save her. I'll help the others when I figure out how to help them."

   "There's no time!" Isaac yelled. "The full moon's coming. The Sheriff and Melissa are gonna be dead, so I'm gonna try and help them." He began walking away. "You can sit here and perfect the art of doing nothing." He slammed the door, leaving the loft. I sighed, feeling everything fallng apart around me.
