"gotcha," I giggled as a 15 year old Derek lifted me up and let me * fly*. My cousins, aunt and uncle just arrived for the full moon tonight. They always come when there is a full moon. My uncle is a werewolf just like my parents, siblings and I. my aunt and cousins are not. "What do you wanna do now little one?" Derek gave me a smile and let me stand back on my feet. He only smiles at me. He hasn't been the same Derek ever since his girlfriend died. I shrug my shoulders and run away from him giggling as he follows after me. Not as fast ofcourse, otherwise it wouldn't be fun for me anymore. "Derek! don't get her too tired, she has to go through the full moon tonight," my oldest sister Laura yelled at him with a slight smile. Derek picks me back up and walked back to our house, not knowing that everything was going to burn down that night.
2 arms wrapped themselves around my waist before they pulled me back up the surface. I start coughing up so much water that my chest started to hurt.
"what the hell Stiles!" He goes back under the water to get Derek up as well.
"Sorry, sorry," he mumbled holding Derek up so he wouldn't go under again. I take one of Derek's arms and throw it over my shoulder to help Stiles carry the weight.
I look around but see now sign of the creature but I have a strong feeling the thing hasn't left yet. "Can one of you see it?"
I lock eyes with Derek and knows that he has the same feeling about this. "no, but I don't think it has left yet" he answered before we heard the hissing again.
"You get me out of here before I drown," Derek snarled. And there's the barking again.
"You're worried about drowning? Did you notice the thing out there with multiple rows of razor sharp teeth," Stiles said through gritted teeth, barely able to hold himself up the surface. I know I should have the strength to get Derek out of the water. But him being paralyzed makes it feel like he's like 10x heavier.
"Did you notice I'm paralyzed from the neck down in eight feet of water?" he yelled back through gritted teeth.
"Okay. I don't see it," Stiles said looking around for the creature, ignoring Derek. He tried to swim to the edge of the pool to get us out and to call Scott.
"Stiles. Wait, wait, wait!" I stopped Stiles from getting any further to the edge as I see the shadow of the creature followed by the creature itself.
Struggling to keep ourselves, but mostly a paralyzed Derek up above the water, we watched the lizard looking creature walking near the edge of the swimming pool. I watched him wearily while it's locking eyes with me. Why does it look like he knows who we are? Who I am? I know that my mom used to tell us about all the other supernatural creatures living in this world, but those were just stories. I never knew I would face anything else but werewolves.
"What do you think it's waiting for?" Stiles asked panted for air as his body is getting more tired every minute of holding Derek up.
The creature walked towards the water hissing, reaching his hand to touch the water but as soon as it touched he pulled back. He's scared of the water.
"Wait, did you see that? I don't think it can swim," Stiles said as we're still staring at the creature waiting for its next move.
"Actually, I think he's afraid of the water," I said in surprise, my eyebrows frowned.
*****************
"Okay. Okay, I don't think I can do this much longer," Stiles said panting, geeting out of breath. And to be honest, I don't think I can do this much longer either. We're already holding Derek up for over an hour now, and the creature is still here keeping us in the water.
