Panthera Onca ➳ Derek Hale

13. Anchors

Jade's P.O.V

   "Look," I was in the loft with Derek, because we needed to talk about the future of Max and Cora in Beacon Hills. I've been thinking about it a lot and I understood how bad it is for them to stay here. It's another responsibility that I'm not sure we can take. We barely take care of ourselves... I want them to be in a place I can be sure they're safe. "I'm not letting Max stay here. I'm pretty sure you won't let Cora stay in here too."

   "I agree. Actually, I wanted to talk about that with you, too." He began. "I also thought maybe it's time for us to move on from here. Maybe it's time for us to leave Beacon Hills." Wow, I did not expect to hear that coming from him. I've been talking about it for a long time.

   "I want to, but..." Scott. I can't leave him. Who knows what might happen when we're gone...

   "I know Scott is the one thing that's holding you from leaving, so I have a suggestion. We'll live with Max and Cora for a short period of time and we'll see if we want to continue living there. If you feel like you miss it here, we'll come back."

   "And," We heard Peter's voice joining our conversation. Uh, no one invited him to our private conversation. "I have a place for us, if you want." He walked down the stairs. "But I'm joining you." Yeah, I'm not sure about the whole joining us idea. I'd rather he strays far from us.

   "Are you sure that you want us to live in South America? It's a bit too far. You know, just a bit." I told Derek. This is too real for me. I mean, we used to live in New-York... This is the other side of the continent. And we're moving somewhere with Peter. Fucking Peter. Out of everyone? Why are we even trusting him?

   "We'll be fine." Derek replied and smiled at me. He's always trying to make me calm. He placed his hand on my thigh. "Stop being so worried. Try giving it a chance." It's weird to know how fast he decided to leave everything. It's unusual for him. I hope he's not hiding anything from me, again. Because something feels a little fishy...

   "Okay." I sighed, knowing I should give this a shot. Maybe Derek's finally honest with me. "How do you think that Scott and Stiles feel?" Scott, Stiles and Allison did the same freezing bath that Isaac had done to try and figure out where the nemeton is and that effected them. They've been hallucinating things, which is a part of the side-effects. Scott told me about it. He wanted my help, but I had to explain that I was out of reach at the moment...

   "Bad. You heard what Deaton told us when we asked if we can help them."

   "Yeah, but I feel so bad for them. I mean, I can't stand it. It's taking over them."

   "They'll be okay." Don't get me talking about my visions and how I saw they won't be okay. We're going to deal with a nogitsune. This is going to be a fun saga, I'm sure...

   "Fine..." Derek continued to smile at me, but when he looked at me, he stopped smiling. He noted my extremely nervous face expression. Shit. I should've controlled my emotions better when I think about my visions.

   "You have got to be kidding me."

   "What?"

   "Something bad is about to happen."

   "Derek..."

   "You know you can't hide it from me."

   "Yeah, because you're listening to my heartbeat."

   "Also." He smirked. "But I'm right." I didn't say anything. I won't play along with his constant need in knowing about my visions. "I know I'm right."
