Derek and I walked along the sidewalk it was a beautiful day and it was just nice to be out with just him. There was something starting between us again and I can feel it, I just hope Derek feels it too. By the time that thought passed through my head, he had grabbed my hand and locked our fingers together. I smiled and I'm pretty sure my cheeks turned pink. "So how's the house hunting going?" Derek asked. "Ugh horribly, I have a certain house in mind, but I just can't find it," I said feeling sad. "Don't worry I'm sure you will find it soon?" He said and we walked down a little further. We were getting closer to my dad's, "Hey look there, there's a for sale sign and we are only five or six housed down from your dad's" Derek said pointing at a for sale sign, right off the side of the road. "Huh, I don't remember seeing it before," I said as I looked down what used to be a driveway.
I walked down through the opening. What looked like a bunch of wild brush was actually an untamed archway. Derek and I walked in further and came to a clearing with a huge plantation style house sitting in the middle of a huge lot of land. "Wow, Derek gets the number off of the sign I got to see inside this house," I said smiling. I never knew this house was here and by the looks of it, it was built in the last fifteen to twenty years. Derek was back at my side in no time. "The realtor is on her way, she said that it's been on the market awhile, but she could never get anyone to look at it." He said. HMMMMM, that's odd, but whatever. Ten minutes later the realtor pulled in and unlocked the door for us. I walked in and thought wow this has the foyer and living room off of it I've always wanted.
As I looked, everything looked the way I always dreamed. This was weird. I ran up the stairs and into the master bedroom I about died. It was exactly how I would have done it. I walked over to the seat of the bay window and pushed down on the front of it and the back popped up. Oh my goodness, Just the way I wanted it. inside I found a folded letter in a zip-lock bag. My name was on the front. I opened it and it was a letter from Derek's mom,
"My Dearest Belle," If you found this I have gone from this world, the house you are standing in is your's. I built it for you and that son of mine. I know you two are meant to be even if you both don't see it. The house was built exactly the way you would have wanted it. I listened when you spoke as does my son. Belle, in my will I have it that this house would got to you. No one, but me knows about this house. The original copy of my will is with your father. Get him to bring it to you and have Peter bring the lawyer with his copy of my will. I never trusted him so there are two copies. Believe the one your father has. Oh, one more thing, I know my son is hard-headed, but he love's you so much. Give him time. Until we meet again. Love, Talia
After reading the last line I ran down the stairs to where Derek and the realtor was standing. "You can't sell me a house I already own" I said to her. "Wait Belle, what are you talking about?" Derek asked. "this is my house, Derek your mother built it for me" I said, "how do you know?" he asked "this" I said handing him the letter, "I found it upstairs in the secret hiding spot in the bay window seat" I said. "but that doesn't open" the realtor said confused. "oh yes it does, it opens and only Talia and myself knows how to open it" I said to her, Derek passed her the note to read.
"Well that is my mother's handwriting, I'll call Peter, you call your dad and the County Judge," Derek said as he stepped into the kitchen with his phone. I called my dad and told him where to come and to bring Talia's will and then I called the judge. My dad and the Judge showed up first and we told them what we found and I had my dad hand the original copy of Talia's will to the Judge while we waited for Peter and the lawyer to show up. Twenty minutes later they finally showed up.
Peter came in first followed by the lawyer. Peter stopped and looked around the room, "whoa she really did build you a house Belle." he said and looked at me, "You knew?" I asked him, "Well sorta she would be drawing up floor plans in her spare time, when I had asked her what she was doing she said that she would hear you talking to Derek about your dream house so she thought she would draw it up, but I never knew she was going to going to build it as well" he said.
I stood there in awe, Shaking my head I asked the lawyer to give his copy of Talia's will to the Judge, he quietly looked over both copies. Until he finally spoke, "There is a section missing from the lawyers copy and you can plainly see here that it had been covered up and recopied, now the original on the other hand I know for a fact Talia Hale had drawn up, because I was the witness the signed it right here" he said pointing to his name "So this house was built and left to Isabelle Stilinski, ma'am if you will get the deed and keys to Ms. Stilinski and let's call it a day" the Judge said.
The realtor handed me the keys and said she needs to run to her office for the other paperwork. Peter and Derek went out to the porch to talk, Dad had to run back to the station so he kissed my cheek and left. The only person left in the house besides me was the lawyer. I paid him no mind as I looked around the living room. "You were supposed to be dead" I heard a familiar voice come from behind me. I turned quickly to find the lawyer sheathing in anger "It was you that bit me?" I asked stepping back slowly.
"Oh it was me alright, the bite was supposed to kill you since your blood is not compatible with the bite," he said shifting into wolf form. "Wait what do you mean my blood is not compatible with the bite?" I asked inching closer to the kitchen door. "Oh yes, I forgot you don't know" he laughed which made a chill run up my spine. "Your mother didn't die of cancer, it was the bite that killed her and no one knew but me. I took some of her blood to have it analyzed after she passed that is when I found out. So her offspring will die if they receive the bite" He was looking angrier now as he came closer, "except you" he said and grabbed for me, but I ducked into the kitchen and waited for him to run past.
I slipped back out the door and yell over my shoulder, "for a lawyer you suck, because I was adopted" and ran fro the front door, but tripped over thin air and fell to the floor. The lawyer grabbed me and threw me against the wall I did my best to stand back up, but it was no use. He was closing in on me when the door flew open and I heard "get away from her" It was Derek, the lawyer turned from me to go after Derek. "If you would have stayed away from this bitch, I would have everything by now" he sheathed at Derek. Derek's eyes flashed to blue and the fight was on.
It wasn't looking good for Derek and then it got worse. Derek was slumped to the floor and the lawyer was closing in to finish him off. I had to do something. Remembering watching an American werewolf in London I shifted, jumped up and ran over to him just as he picked Derek up by the throat. I drew my arm back and shoved my hand through his back and grabbed his heart and ripped it out. He dropped Derek back to his feet and fell in a heap between Derek and I. Just then Peter burst's through the door as I dropped the heart to the floor, Peter stands there looking at me in shock and say's "remind me to never make her mad" Derek and I chuckled. I shifted back while looking at Derek as he comes over I looked up at him. His eyes were the beautiful green that I loved.
"Derek, what did I just do? My eyes are no longer yellow" I started to cry as the realization hit that I was no longer a beta. Peter lugged the lawyer's body outside somewhere so it was just Derek and I. "Belle, I'm here I will always be here, I never stopped loving you and since you came back home it became stronger." Derek said as he wrapped his arms around me. I look up into his eyes my heart pounding because he just said he loved me. I smiled at him and said "I love you too Derek" He leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. That was the best moment I had ever had.
