Animal Magnetism // Ready To Run (DEREK HALE Fan-fiction)

•Day 5 | Part 2•

"We're here!" Aidan says cockily. I roll my eyes. How can someone be in a good mood. We settle our belongings in a cave looking thing. I step out to admire the gorgeous view. I have to admit, it was pretty damn awesome.

"Wow" I sigh on the breathe taking waterfall. "I never knew this place ever existed" admitting it's beauty. I guess not all parts of the forest are haunted.

"Told you it was worth it" he says and knocks my arm playfully. This has lightened my spirits a little. But, my mind is still on Becky. They said it'll be better if we figure out a plan and leave early morning. I look over to Aaron who's face was pale. I walk over to him and tap his back.

"We'll find her, don't worry" I say and all he does it nod for an answer. "You okay?" I genuinely ask.

"Yeah just worried about her. And Aidan, no one trusts him I do t even know why he's here?" Aaron clearly announces.

"He's useful and a source. Ask him a couple of question tonight if it helps" I say and he smiles then walks away. At least I can actually talk to someone who hasn't got bipolar.

I look beside me and Derek is sitting at the edge of rock and throwing stones in the lake. Depressing much. He looks over to me and stares. Considering I'm his mate he doesn't seem to be acting like one. I look away from his gaze and watch the water continuously running down the talk cliff.

I hear footsteps walking beside me but I ignore them. Sooner or later, Derek is sitting next to me.

"Sorry I snapped at you before" he apologises but I refuse to give him attention. "Mila?" He tries to get my attention.

"You know, for someone who's meant to be taking care of me and mentor me on how to use my 'supernatural werewolf power'. You really suck at it" I honestly admit and he frowns in confusion.

"Mila, if you have not noticed I'm trying to do everything I can to keep you and the group safe" he lightly raises his voice.

"Well what happens after this? Do we continue to run away from Xavier? Does Becky die? Do I go back to my old life? If I do, will you leave again and not show until three months later?! Huh?" I shout which catches Aaron and Aidan's attention. I stand up unable to contain my rage. Soon enough Derek was standing up beside me.

"I-I don't know okay! We have to see how things turn out first" he says and grips onto his hair in frustration.

"Oh my god, is this seriously your plan?! Then we're screwed!" I'm at a point where I just want to give up, if Xavier wants me, let him have me. This was a terrible idea from the beginning. I should've stayed where I was and this would have never happened. Maybe it was better to have Derek out of my life. I begin to walk off on Derek, wanting space for myself.

"Are you actually walking away from me?" He asks and grabs my arm and pulls me back towards him. He's beginning to be violent towards me, as his eyes begin to glow.

"It's not like you didn't do the same to me before!" I yell. "Let go" he doesn't budge.

"I said...LET GO!" I demand with a growl that echoes among the trees. My nails begin to grow out and so do my teeth. I suddenly escape from Derek's clasp and jump aggressively on top of his body. He then tries pushing against my body to stop myself from attacking him. I want to hurt him but never have I ever thought about it before. At this point it doesn't matter, he makes me furious.

I scratch his chest and neck, wanting to rip him to shreds.

All of a sudden I feel a tight grip around my waist pulling me away from Derek.
